Here's tonight's riddle:
What has two legs and can find a way to screw up a 10-0 lead and possibly destroy the rest of this season and next year and waste the most important sports resource in Cleveland sports and one of the most important in baseball.
Answer: Sandy Alomar
How in the world, with a 10-0 lead and Beiber at 93 pitches do you send him out for the 8th inning?
He ends up close to 120 pitches, a territory he may never have come close to in the past.
And for what?
This was pathetic. Clearly this game is going to impact Beiber's performance sometime in his career. This takes a toll on a pitcher's body. It might not be acute but it clearly can be additive to other insults to his body from pitching.
So if Beiber ends up missing time on the DL this year or next year or the year after that, you can clearly look back on this game as a catalyst that hastened whatever injury he might have.
And to make matters worse this negatively impacted his season ERA when we are trying to build a Cy Young resume for this guy.
It was pathetic.
Most important sports resource in Cleveland.
And now he might have been damaged...and for nothing.
Alomar should be ashamed of himself.
Truly ashamed of himself.
Probably the only way to ruin tonight was to run Beiber into the ground.
