Would there be as long of a recovery time for his TJS if he just DH'ed?

I wanted to argue this so badly, but I don’t know if I can...

1995 - lost WS in 6 to the Braves. First postseason in decades, lost to a superior pitching staff.

1996 - blew it big time against the Orioles in the division series. Came in as a heavy favorite and poo poo the bed.

1997 - I don’t want to talk about it

1998 - had a 2-1 lead in the ALCS against one of the best Yankees teams of all time. Blew it in 6 but at least made a series out of it.

1999 - embarrassing collapse against the Red Sox. The series was 2-0 and we were up by 3 runs in the 5th inning of game 3 when Dave Burns blew out his arm. Jaret Wright had to come in and we were outscored by over 20 runs in the next 2.3 games.

2000 - insane amounts of injuries and yet still had a chance on the last day of the season thanks to an amazing second half. If fully healthy, they rumble into the playoffs.

2001 - beaten in 5 in the ALDS by Seattle. Had it wrapped up but couldn’t close.

They had an amazing run for 7 years but couldn’t close the deal. I wouldn’t say it was a blown window because it revitalized the team for years to come and made Cleveland a legit baseball destination for almost a decade. But hard to argue when you had arguably 6 hall of famers in your core (Thome, Ramirez, Alomar, Vizquel, Belle, Murray) and 3 years of an all star at every position. If they pull off that Randy Johnson trade in 98 or the Pedro trade in the offseason after 97 they have at least one if not 2 rings.

2016- :smug:

I hope all the children's diseases going around are because some little poo poo sneezed in the mud they rub the baseballs with.

Mark Prior was #2. :(

act like you been there before man, gently caress

I'm all for having fun and showing personality, but not rubbing the other teams face in it. The batflip was garbage and I'm surprised the catcher didn't punch him after that slow jog around the bases. gently caress that guy.

gently caress Addison Russell. I hope he never plays again. I'm not sure there would be a big line to pick him up, either, seeing as the only thing he can hit is his wife.

Yes, Joe. Yes you should. You should be locked in your office and not allowed to leave until you can answer specific questions about it.

It would be super if Lester didn't throw a fuckton of pitches in the early innings and also give up any first inning runs.
