Coming into Thursday night, the Cleveland Indians offense has been absolutely lackluster. Having scored 12 runs over their past 8 games, they outscored themselves during that time span on Thursday alone with their 13-0 drubbing of the Cincinnati Reds. Man, that had to feel good.

Breaking News: It’s 1996 and the Indians Have Traded Albert Belle
Mookie Betts may never play for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 27-year old right-fielder was traded from the Boston Red Sox to the Dodgers this past winter along with David Price for a bevy of young talent, despite being the 2018 American League Most Valuable Player, a four-time Gold Glove and three time Silver SluggerContinue reading “Breaking News: It’s 1996 and the Indians Have Traded Albert Belle”

It’s a quiet and bleak time in the world of sports. As all non-essential workers have been asked to step away from their work lives, the universe of professional sports has been put on pause.

Digging Slightly Deeper on What’s the “Right Thing” for Francisco Lindor: Part 1

If Indians Were Looking to Improve By Trading Corey Kluber, Now Wasn’t the Time to Do It
When I started writing in this space I promised Cleveland baseball content, which to this point, has actually been conspicuously absent. I had another post all punched out and ready for editing today, but then I started getting the alerts early this afternoon on my phone.
