Cleveland Indians 2015 Thread of Barely Restrained Contempt (BALLS)

[LitlBuck]

I will never understand why Francona does not play Murphy every day. I know that Moss can provide some power but they are few and far between. Maybe they should see what is out there for Santana and move Moss to first and play Murphy a lot more. Watch, is a will probably trade Murphy.

 

[Zippercat]

Tribe still not quite figured out what to do with the lumber.......

Rumor has it that Tito tried importing bats from India over the All-Star break, but so far has not seen the results he was hoping for.

 

[NFBuck]

Shut out AGAIN. Fucking losers.

 

[LitlBuck]

I wish they would get rid of some of their "veteran" guys and bring some of the guys from the minors who have potential some experience. Santana can go. Rayburn can go. Moss can go. Murphy can go. However, I have no idea who would want these guys if they are in their right mind. Bourn and Swisher we are stuck with unless there is a real fool out there.

Maybe the Reds and Tribe just swap 40 man rosters every 3 years or something?

Give us a chance to grow to hate new players, makes less than a fuck to the competitive teams of MLB...why the fuck not?

 

[NFBuck]

Trade fucking every gutless bum on this shitty roster. Take whatever you can get. Golden Corral coupons, case of Gatorade, 1986 Buick Skylark, IOU written on a napkin...whatever.

 

[NFBuck]

Fuck these losers. See ya in the spring.

It takes great effort to have men on 2nd and 3rd and no outs and not only score no runs, but to end the inning two batters later.

 

[Bucklion]

Our best hitters are in A or AA...let that sink in.

 

[TheStoicPaisano]

Fucking pitiful. Love Kipnis but he had about a dozen fuckups this series.

Does sucking really take any effort, though?

This level of suck takes considerable effort...much like the Reds, you have to put effort into doing half the dumb shit we see every 9 innings

 

[LitlBuck]

I was wondering if anyone knew why Francona was let go by the Red Sox I have seen that he was a players manager and sometimes set is not a good thing as can be seen by the efforts this past weekend plus his reluctance to make changes when things are going bad.

Most kidding aside, the second WC spot has officially ruined baseball. They played a Kipnis soundbite this morning, where responding to "you all pretty much suck" he said basically "with the second WC you are never out of it", as if they will just magically go on a 3 week hot streak and be in position. It will spurn teams that go a generation or more of the same 70-80 win shitshow, because they will do nothing to improve their teams because they think they're still in it. Suck wholesale wad like the Astros? Then you build your farm system. But suck mostly like the Indians, and we will get what we have, pretty much forever.

Well, here's the thing about baseball...all you have to do is get hot at the right time and you can win a World Series if you make the post season. In recent history, you had the Cardinals win a WS in '06 after winning 83 friggin' regular season games, and going a shitty 8-14 in the last month of the season. Last years champs won 88 games and were hovering just above .500 in August. So, while it probably does water down the postseason a little, it also makes it more exciting, as teams that are limping along 2/3 to 3/4 of the way through the season still have something to play for.

That said, this team has nothing left to play for. They're a smudge of shit riding on a piece of toilet paper down the toilet of the American League. Fuck them.

At least the Tigers suck, too.
