This one is on the coaching staff. Agree. Still - so many chances to win somehow, and they just manage to piss it all away every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That buyout he can take instead of picking up his player option increases $1 mill at 400, 450, 500, 550, etc plate appearances. It’s bad enough he sucks in 2022. The more they play him, the higher the likelihood he returns to suck in 2023. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I went looking and hoping that the Joe Kelly contract had an option year next year.....nope, the option year is 2024. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullpen mismanagement and not pinch hitting for Harrison in the7 th with men at 2 nd and3 rd with one out were also reasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're called the dog days for a reason. Also, is it just me or does Vaughn look bigger around the waist compared to last year? His sprint speed is about 14% slower compared to last year. Yes, he looks significantly slower. You could tell someone he’s 35 years old and they wouldn’t think you’re lying. He’s the epitome of maxed out college player.

flavum Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Math time: if Cleveland goes 21-21 with one win vs the Sox, we have to play .600 ball the final 40 to pass them. Something we can’t do apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the team miraculously stays in the race somehow. But they don't ever do enough to take control of the division or go on any prolonged runs that make you think they're good. This season really has been the equivalent of baseball hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
