As the Cleveland Indians left Memorial Day weekend with a below .500 record, staring at a ten-game gap between themselves and the first place Minnesota Twins, two thoughts immediately came to mind.
One, this season is officially a wreck. Two, this is exactly the kick in the pants this front office deserved.
The struggle Cleveland has endured is a result of many things. Injuries, an ineffective lineup and a brutal slump for Jose Ramirez are all playing a factor in the miserable start to the year. However, nothing has had more of an impact on the awful performances we’re seeing than the front office’s hubris.
