Breaking Protocol Leads to Teammates Turning on Culprits: TRAINA THOUGHTS
1. The story of Indians pitchers Zach Plesac and Mike Clevinger getting booted (temporarily) from the team because they broke corona protocol hasn't gotten the attention it deserves because it's MLB and not the NFL or NBA, but it's still utterly amazing.
Two young guys giving in to their desire to go out while on a road trip in Chicago to have a good time is not that amazing. It's what has transpired since that's pretty surreal.
You had Plesac pouring gasoline on the fire by making an Instagram video (while driving without a seat belt) blaming the media, who he said does "evil" things, for this whole mess before admitting that he went out with friends in the same video.
