CLEVELAND: Second baseman Jason Kipnis says the players in the Indians clubhouse need to hold each other accountable.
Following Sunday’s 2-1 loss to the Chicago White Sox that completed a four-game sweep at home, the Indians held a lengthy team meeting. Afterward, Kipnis said players weren’t being held accountable, were “playing like [expletive]” and that, “It’s just not the way we’re going to do business around here.”
On Monday, he clarified those remarks to say that they had nothing to do with Indians manager Terry Francona. It’s all on them.
“Tito is our manager, he’s not a babysitter,” Kipnis said.
