Are you sick of me gushing about Cal Quantrill while recapping every one of his starts? Because that’s what I’m going to do here, too. I’m aware of what happened after he was pulled, but let’s start with the positive from the latest tire fire that is the 2021 Cleveland baseball season.

He struck out five A’s batters and was charged with two earned runs, though he hardly deserves the negative marks.
