Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona isn’t a big fan of meetings. So when he gathered the starting pitchers on Friday in Houston, the intention was more to give them a chance to speak their minds.
“Meetings can be overrated,” Francona said. “There are times when you want to talk to guys, that’s kind of how I felt. I think sometimes a manager lets it go too long and you scream. Nobody gets anything out of that but the manager, relieve some stress.”
The Indians’ rotation has gotten off to a slow start this season, with a collective ERA of 5.
