Any possibility the season gets extended at least a week? Not sure if there’s any clause the players union have against it but damn, there’s going to be a bunch of teams at this rate that aren’t going to play the entire 60 games.

That’s pretty fucked up to put a debuting pitcher in that situation. His confidence was probably shot after the first homer.

Well, the good news is the Giants didn't give up 4 runs in the ninth to blow a game like they did the last two nights. Instead they decided to blow the game in the 5th inning by giving up 9 runs.

Sources: Choices by Mike Clevinger, Zach Plesac to break protocol caused rift within Indians

During a testy meeting Friday, Cleveland Indians players scolded teammates Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac for breaking protocol and going out in Chicago, and at least one player said he would opt out of the season if the two remained on the active roster, sources familiar with the meeting told ESPN.

Clevinger and Plesac, two-fifths of the Indians' rotation that has a major-league-best 2.43 ERA, were optioned to Cleveland's alternate site and will spend at least 10 days away from the major league team. While some teammates accepted their apologies and preferred they remain with the Indians, sources said, the anger over their actions was palpable enough to lead to the demotions -- ones that, if they last for a specific period of time, could have significant financial implications.

Indians players' disappointment centered not only on the decision made by Clevinger and Plesac to leave the team hotel in Chicago on Aug. 7 but also their actions afterward. Some players, sources said, believed Clevinger was not truthful with them about his involvement before he boarded the team plane Aug. 9. By then, Plesac, who had been caught trying to return to the hotel early on the morning of Aug. 8, had been sent back to Cleveland. His attempted explanation this week in an Instagram video during which he was driving further bothered teammates, sources said.
