Your 2019 Cleveland Indians

Mercado or Greg Allen? Who’s gonna be our main CF’er the rest of the season?

Whoever starts to earn it.

What's wrong with the tweet?

A nameless/faceless social media manager fanning the fire on a team who beat us two nights in a row.

Fanning the fire? I'm not seeing that.

The pot shot at the Mets? Syndergaard and others took notice, from looking at their own twitter accounts

Isn't it accurate?

I mean, right now, it would be more appropriate to call the Mets a non-playoff team. They're behind the NL wild card race.

It's still talking shit. Should they comment on how KC has no shot at making the playoffs tonight?


Having an edgy and quirky social media account for a professional team is sooo last year.

Calling the Mets a fringe playoff team

Isn't it accurate?

Sure, but "fringe ____" certainly isn't a term of endearment in the sports lexicon. Fringe starter, fringe playoff team, fringe MVP candidate; in all cases it's an adjective used to describe something that isn't quite at the level to which it is being compared to. Being that the Indians are now on the outside looking in, they are a "fringe playoff team". I wouldn't expect players in the clubhouse would love being called that.

Clearly we disagree, so let's leave it at that.

I don't see calling them a fringe playoff team as a slight at all.

If anything I see it as a compliment. The account was clearly trying to talk up our recent schedule by saying that we've been facing some very good teams, the Mets included.

This conversation is peak 2019

I called a woman I met yesterday fringe good looking.

I meant it as a compliment. I mean the words “good looking” are both in the phrase...

What matters is the intent not the interpretation and potential consequences. I’ve been telling my iced balls that’s what matters most.

you're a fringe good poster

I’m a fringe good parent but I also fringe abuse my child sometimes.

@bushwick_bill putts from the fringe.

Anyways, to get this back on topic...the Indians need to play better.
