I’ve never seen a team with less self-insight in upper management than these Indians. Shapiro IS the problem. They’ve been losers ever since he’s been GM. Can him now, plus his cabin-boy Antonetti. Sell the team too, as the Dolans have less baseball knowledge than my poodle.

Start anew with Grover as GM and Alomar as coach. Let’s get back to the greatness of the ’90s!

Shapiro stated: “Chris is dealing with a set of challenges, which I understand, some of which are the creation of the organization that he and I ran together, and some of which are the result of other decisions”

In other words..that cheap guy Paul Dolan, wont spend any money so Chris has to get these damn AAA players and try and make it work.

When your team has the best record in baseball and a very bright future, as do the Nats, you can be smug. Not that I think Mike Rizzo is. A great GM yes, smug, no.

Did he really say that he expects the Indians to compete for a championship, anytime soon? He should’ve just stopped after saying “competitive”. Now he just looks foolish.

So….Antonetti was dealing with challenges and get’s a break.

Acta was dealing with challenges too (being provided with less talent than average talent and a horrible pitching staff), much of which was the doing of Antonetti (and Shapiro)…..so he’s fired.

Vote of confidence? For what, having one of the worst 2nd half teams that side of Pittsburgh?

Come on.

I’m not sure what they need to do in Cleveland to finally win something, but my God do they need to get SOMETHING happening. Those teams of the 90s were too much of a cock tease for this to be the way things are gonna go down now.
