Brantley isn't making the ALDS

Bonus for winning top seed in bracket: Wild card teams most likely using their best pitcher in the wild card game.

Unfortunately the Yankees have 3 other solid pitchers.

Judging by that last at bat, yeah sure.

However, playing them with only two of those pitchers at full energy going into a series is helpful.

Tribe gets Ramirez, Santana, Mejia, and Kipnis out there, they could have the All-Midget team.

Mejia is listed 5'10". He is taller than two professional point guards in the same city.

About a good 90% of the roster is 6ft or taller so they technically are part of the midget team lol

I'll never understand the need to bash another team in the city while one is literally making history.

You have to remember the media hates on Cleveland at anytime they can regardless. The media will stay this way until the Browns become relevant again sadly and still even then try to keep doing it.

It’s a funny stat. I don’t see the issue.

When the Browns are As HISTORICALLY terrible as they have been, it bears pointing out.

Local or national media? Local and Browns associated guys won’t. They’re desperate for the Browns to be good so they’ll be getting off on the Browns success.

National media won’t pay them any more or less negative attention than they deserve, more than likely. Football is a little different than basketball. Big stars don’t move to markets the big mouth pundits want them to go to and there’s too many stars to talk about anyways. So they can’t try to push guys to LA or NY by bashing Cleveland, even if they’re good.

If the Browns have a bunch of stars playing well and taking them to the playoffs, I’d bet the national media starts them out as somewhat of an underdog story initially and root for them. Then if they stay good, they’ll focus on the players and the success of the team.

At this point, it remains to he seen. Their players haven’t done shit.

Anyone else feel like they've already told Brantley he isn't making the ALDS roster, and that they're not going to pick up the option?

Really sad.
