That KBO trophy was sweet, I regret that they cut away almost immediately after its unveiling

He's on a local Cincinnati news station tonight doing an interview to start his apology tour, I assume.

I want people to be able to apologize, grow, and resume their life, but a little time off is necessary for change. What's his penance?

Atocep · 12-12-2020, 08:01 PM

Love the Jared Porter hire by the Mets.

Doubtful, but would love to see them go waaaay back and adopt the Spiders

Sources -- Cleveland to drop Indians nickname after 105 years

whoa didn't see that coming!

Critch · 12-13-2020, 11:27 PM

It's got to be the Steamers.

Ksyrup · 12-14-2020, 09:24 AM

Someone said Cleveland should change its name to World Series Champions since nothing else has worked.

I'd love it and it actually may be better odds than you'd think.

I've also heard Guardians (it's something Cleveland related I think?).

Lathum · 12-14-2020, 10:01 AM

Maybe The Tribe since that's their nickname? Or is that offensive also? Hard to keep track sometimes.

Everything is offensive to someone.

Cleveland Rivers of Fire would be cool

Lathum · 12-14-2020, 02:13 PM

Cleveland Tribe sounds pretty bad ass to me.

Ksyrup · 12-14-2020, 02:39 PM

The problem isn't necessarily the word "tribe," it would be the imagery - especially in the context of the previous name. How do you construct a logo/mascot that doesn't recall Indians or Chief Wahoo, but has any kind of meaning or symbolism?

Lathum · 12-14-2020, 03:06 PM

Have the logo be a Q-tip?

ISiddiqui · 12-14-2020, 03:18 PM

Cleveland Spiders or we riot!

Ghost Econ · 12-14-2020, 04:20 PM

Cleveland Rocks.

They already have the song for it.

Atocep · 12-16-2020, 03:38 PM

It turns out Omar Vizquel is a piece of shit. Arrested for domestic violence that his wife says has been going on throughout the marriage and he was also fired flin 2019 from his job managing the White Sox AA affiliate after an incident with another team employee.

Damn. I just signed him to a 6 year extension in my 90’s OOTP play through. Maybe I can get out of the contract?

Ksyrup · 12-16-2020, 06:39 PM

Turns out he was overrated both on AND off the field.

Ksyrup · 12-16-2020, 06:46 PM

Interesting concept.

Bud Black brought up an interesting take on the DH that he said is being discussed: Having the DH eliminated once the starting pitcher is pulled. As he pointed out, that would discourage the use of openers. It also would allow for the traditional NL strategy late in games.

cuervo72 · 12-16-2020, 06:50 PM

As someone who used the strategy in OOTP to decent effect...what is wrong with openers?

Ksyrup · 01-04-2021, 11:22 AM

I guess this can put a cap on the 2020 season.

Holy shit and they didn't give up a prospect close to the level Kelenic was when he was delt.

Giminez hurts a little, but good riddance to Rosario and I like Greene but he's years away.

Lathum · 01-07-2021, 01:56 PM

I know.

The Mets don't go out and get 27 year old studs, they get the Robinson Canos of the world. Now go get Bauer.

Lathum · 01-07-2021, 01:57 PM

dola- I wonder if Bauer and Lindor are boys from their time on the Indians.

Before this thread becomes obsolete, I just want to close the circle. Reading some of his comments he made in other articles about the baseball he likes to watch compared to the baseball he knew would win struck a chord with me.
