Terry Belichick, Manager Cleveland

I’m going to be rooting against the Indians throughout the American League playoffs because of Chief Wahoo and what Cleveland manager Terry Francona pulled on Friday night.  It was the top of the ninth inning, one out and nobody on with the Indians ahead by nine.  Francona then channeled his inner Bill Belichick by bringing in Andrew Miller, he of the miniscule ERA under 1.50.  This was the 160^th game of the season.  Did I mention the score was 10-1, Indians?

I don’t wish injuries on players.  If I did, that would have been the time and the place.  As for a reason, you’d have to ask Mr. Francona why he felt the need to make a pitching change.
