Aren't they talking about bringing the Indians name back? I swear I saw a headline mentioning that
They should bring it back.

Maybe Chief Wahoo is an insensitive logo and that should be changed. But I don’t think there’s anything wrong with calling them the Cleveland Indians.

I don’t see nothing but a Facebook group advocating bringing Indians back

other college & pro teams still have Indian names and logos (Seminole’s, braves,blackhawks,chiefs,Illini) etc

They were breaking down alcantara on mlb network

Leiter said his chase rate dropped 10%,walk rate increased 6% and his change up and curve(or slider/curve) weren’t spinning like they used to. Like the pitches look similar so hitters aren’t fooled and he can’t locate his fastball

Basically suggesting a team should still try to acquire him(not for top prospects but near top) if they have the pitching infrastructure to fix these things. if he went to a team like the Astros dude could be an ace again

It's not a reason to excuse his performance but he is returning from Tommy John surgery.

White Sox score 8 runs

Chase Meidroth 0-5 though :sad:

There's no reason for Chase Meidroth to be on your fantasy baseball roster.
At least I hope he isn't.
Gotta say I'm shocked to see how many leagues he's owned in that I'm in. Though I'm in a few 20 team leagues. But, the curious one is that he's owned in my competitive dynasty/keeper league.

Only real + indicator I see on him is BAVG with some speed. Spot checking his log only 4 times this month without a hit.

:ehh:

The Metropolitan pitching lab can fix him.




He wants he a gig as a batting coach :manny:



Prime Manny was an elite hitter, was one of my favorite players growing up even though he never played on the Mets :manny:



The disrespect from this twitter poster :scust:




I'd hire him as a batting coach. He was a generational hitter, and every kid growing up in the Caribbean would love to be coached by him.

A month ago I read comments about how Cedric Mullins was back after some down years.

He OPSed .927 in March/April.
He’s OPSing .553 in May.

It's cause he's been showing flashes

A HR here, a SB there. Knocks in a couple... Just nothing consistent. And multiple multi K games.
