Playing at Wrigley frustrates me as an Indians fan, not because they beat us in the World Series, but because the Indians used to be the kind of team that would start Carlos Santana in LF in a World Series game. Now they play guys like Mike Freeman &Delino DeShields regularly
The Indians have spent the last 4 years coasting on that 2016 playoff run. It was an amazing run, but the reason the run happened was because they were innovated and took risks. They don’t do that anymore. They take the safe path even when it’s the wrong one. It’s a real shame.
Trading 2 top prospects for Andrew Miller was crazy. Trying to trade for Lucroy. Unleashing Miller the way they did in the playoffs. Using Ryan Merritt out of nowhere. The way they used Rajai Davis in the World Series. Playing Los in LF. Now they won’t call up Jones or Johnson.
