Vent #3

 Chemistry.

Some people say it is overrated in the me-first era of professional sports.  

I don't know.

But I will say this: if any of this deal was made for chemistry reasons it certainly didn't appear that it jolted the Indians into an offensive frenzy last night.

As I said, the Indians started last night 0-0 in my mind.   

After last night, with their best starter going against the worst team in the AL Central, the Indians couldn't even score 2 runs and lost.

They are now 0-1.

The players who thought that addition by subtraction of Clevinger would invigorate this team better show some invigoration.

The players who thought it was a bad trade better get over it.   They are being paid a lot of money to play a kids game and if they had done THEIR job last night, we would be 1-0 post-Clevinger.

Lots of teams have made up from bad front office decisions and I can think of about a dozen in recent Indians' history, many in very recent years where we were putting up the best record in baseball.

No excuses.   The FO didn't get us what we needed.  They made it harder on the pitching staff.

So what?

Do your freakin' job!

Make up for their incompetence!
