Hyde said he was going to use him in the bullpen.

Well heck, I've been saying Akin is not a nugget for a long time.

Probably. You kids and your trophies.

I said it was fifth best last night and this morning it’s sixth.

They don’t give out awards to “hypothetically better“ teams.

Fifth best according to fangraphs EDIT: overnight it changed to sixth best

That's like ignoring your A1C numbers because why complicate eating a Twinkie?

Wieters 2.0 Severino .6 Walker .6 Nunez .6 Schoop 6.1 Alberto 1.7 Turner 20.0 Ruiz .6 Machado 32.0 Valaika .6 Yaz .6 Mountcastle .6 Nick 2.0 Mullins .6 Villar 8.2 Santander .6 Cruz 12.0 Sisco .6 If we're just looking at lineup salary, there's 13x advantage there. Could be why we didn't keep all those guys.

Never booed anyone more than Arod or Teixeira.

It would appear that Zach Plesac has worn out his welcome in Cleveland. It is my understanding that Clevinger has been remorseful and sincere with his apology, but Plesac “doesn’t get it”. Plesac filmed his half-apology for social media while driving a car, explaining that he does care about the safety others. Adam Plutko and Olly Perez have been outspoken as club leaders that they would opt out of the season if action was not taken against Plesac and Clevinger for going out on the town during a series against the White Sox. Cleveland took disciplinary action by optioning both pitchers to the alternate training site. The Indians could certainly use Plesac on the mound, but the action has the added effect of stalling Plesac’s service clock, putting a rare positive spin on the club decision to manipulate service time. Tonight’s tweet is the first inkling that the Indians might be done with Plesac, and the locker room dynamic irreparable.

I definitely didn’t need the green text for this one.

Again, we aren't talking about bringing back prospects.

We are talking about trading Santander and Oriole prospects for Mike Clevinger.
