Jason Kipnis Roasts Local Reporter on Twitter

Jason Kipnis left the 7th inning of the Cleveland Indians’ baseball contest Saturday in their 6-0 route of the Detroit Tigers with an undisclosed causation. Many were speculating cramping or other LeBron James’ Miami Heat vintage symptoms. Indians’ reporter for Cleveland.com Paul Hoynes reported this:

Jason Kipnis left game in seventh inning with illness.

To be fair, Hoynes is a fairly accurate reporter and a reputable guy in Cleveland. But Kipnis himself had this to say regarding Paul’s tweet:

No he didn't. https://t.co/RBaOqGQKnb

Roast session continues here!

Indians’ RF Lonnie Chisenhall also gave a little SNL Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken reference in response:

Was told only cure was more cowbell!!! @TheJK_Kid @hoynsie

You gotta love these Indians. It’s like a weight was lifted off their shoulders after the Cavs won in the NBA Finals. They have won 8 straight games and have not lost since the wine & gold were down 3-2. At 43-30 and 5 games up in the AL Central, the Tribe are in cruise control right now in the city of champions. And they are having some fun!

Indians Schedule Looks Exactly Like Cavs Playoff Schedule

The Indians’ schedule is exactly the prophecy Moses was talking about when parting the Red Sea.

Well… not really. But if you look below, it is the exact same road the Cavs took to the Finals, facing Detroit, Atlanta, and Toronto, in that respective order.

Oh hey, @Indians…your schedule looks familiar 🤔 https://t.co/GaqIBIRCEJ—

So based off of the Cavs’ results, we should be expecting a sweep of the Tigers and Braves (even if that didn’t happen for the Wine & Gold), as well as a series win against the Blue Jays.

The Tribe’s Twitter account also had a hilarious response mocking Warriors fans:

it's almost like our schedule was rigged … 😉

Sports are crazy, kids. The Cavs broke a 52 year long curse, and apparently the Indians are going to fulfill an omen that was destined to occur since 1964. The good vibes are back in Cleveland. Gotta love it.

Indians Trying To Land Dodgers OF Yasiel Puig

The Indians are doing whatever they can to land Star OF Yasiel Puig – per source

A source has told Lake Erie Sports that the Indians are doing “everything and anything” to land Dodgers star OF Yasiel Puig. Puig would fill the long-time need of a power hitting right handed batter. In his short career, he’s already shown the kind of threat he can be at the plate with a career .296 batting average and 42 home runs in 307 games.

The Indians would likely have to give up young starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco, who signed a 4 year, $48 million extension on April 7th, along with a prospect. He’s been having a great season so far, and is coming off a fantastic start against the Oakland Athletics, where he threw a complete game 2 hitter, while striking out 7 batters.

One of the main reasons for the Indians trying to acquire Puig’s services? Team control. He has a very team friendly deal that lasts until the 2020 season. He also would fill the void of a much needed right fielder.
