Indians showed baseball how to win by bullpen, now paying for it: Doug Lesmerises 3rd & Short

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- We're back with another edition of 3rd & Short, a column designed to inform, intrigue and entertain. If Hard Knocks had gone behind the scenes of this process, the episode would have featured a panicked, disheveled middle-aged man surfing Netflix in the middle of the night in a desperate search for inspiration.

And then Johnny Manziel officially signed with the CFL. Thank you, Johnny.

On to 3rd & Short, starting with a question about why the Indians found a way to win, saw other teams copy them, then didn't follow their own blueprint.
