Care always has to be taken with how we interpret player statements following tough losses like the one we witnessed last night. The Indians were supposed to be World Series contenders and they were taken down with ease by the previous world champs. Obviously not everyone is going to be thrilled.
Things can easily slip out that players don’t mean, or otherwise innocent things can be framed incorrectly because of the situation at hand.
Tensions might have boiled over behind closed doors as the Indians’ 2018 season officially came to a close, but being the strapping young professionals that they are, Indians players kept everything on the straight and narrow during interviews with the media.
