If anyone needs booed its Smelly Duncan. Batting .200 with 31 K's in 89 at bats. Im pretty sure most guys at AAA would do better if brought up.
 
Don't really see why he would bring it up today after we had the second best attendance of the year.

Yeah, the timing is odd. Makes me think one of the beat reports tossed out the bait and he bit on it. Luckily we love in Cleveland and most fans probably won't he even catch wind of this story.

People only remember the Opener..... It's how it is every year.
 
On a side note, I think we should hold off on judging Perez's comments until we see exact quotes/context. Chris Assenheimer isn't afraid of hyperbole...
 
From Bastian:

Indians closer Chris Perez since his Opening Day blown save: 13 saves in 13 chances, 1.72 ERA (3 ER/15.2 IP), .153 BAA (9-59), 15 K, 4 BB.
 
According to @didthetribewin the comments were unprovoked.

and wasn't he brought in a non-save situation and gave up two of those earned runs? everybody knows he isnt the same pitcher in those situations as opposed to save situations. so he's getting booed because acta is occasionally a dumbass. not exactly the brightest moment in indians fandom

doesn't really surprise me - especially when you factor in the twitter blowups
 
Can't blame the guy for telling the truth... the fan support has been absolutely pathetic, especially for a first place team. I was at the game Friday and the crowd was quiet despite there being 29K there... pretty awesome considering the Indians were winning almost the entire game and Santana threw out 3 people trying to steal second, including two in one inning...

Seriously though, the Indians have one of the weakest fanbases in professional sports. People can harp all they want about how loyal Cleveland fans are... they really need to change that to Cleveland Browns fans, and even that is becoming debatable.

I always thought this until I checked it out on Baseballreference.com, but his statistics are actually pretty close to the same in non-save and save situations.
 
If any other franchise kicked its fans in the nuts as much as the Browns, they'd have weekly TV blackouts and no fans. Question Cleveland's loyalty to the Tribe and to the Cavs, but Cleveland still bleeds Brown and Orange.

Of course, many blackouts have been avoided over the past few years because the Browns basically buy the tickets.

the browns have eight games a year and are almost always on sundays. browns fans are loyal, yes, but those end of season games the past couple years have been sparce and if its pittsburgh, prominently filled with steeler fans. its hard to compare the once a week browns to the cavs and indians.
 
This won't be popular - but you take tailgating away and the Browns support would go way down. Browns games are events more than die-hard fans showing support.
