Tribe’s Plesac, Clevinger Made a Selfish Decision, Not a Mistake

By Mike Holzheimer

It never seems to end.

The Cleveland Indians just completed a very successful weekend series in Chicago winning two of the three games scheduled against the White Sox.

It would have been nice to read only positive accounts from those games with newspaper copy and television sports reports sticking to just the baseball facts-but sadly, such was not the case.

Instead, we read breaking news that two of the Tribe’s starting pitchers violated Major League Baseball and Indians team protocol regarding COVID-19 precautions.

Following Zach Plesac’s impressvie performance on Saturday afternoon resulting in a Cleveland, 7-1 victory, word swept quickly through regular media and social media outlets that Plesac violated the pandemic requirements and left the team hotel to go out that evening.
