In 2023, the AL Central was easily the worst division in baseball.

    "co/qspSflMym4— Daryl Van Schouwen (@CST_soxvan) April 8, 2024 A single followed the error, and Cleveland had runners in scoring position, but Shuster struck out Austin Hedges swinging and Brayan Rocchio flew out to right to end the threat."

  • 2019
    "For the six clubs in question, the Dodgers (Austin Barnes), Astros (Max Stassi), Padres (Austin Hedges) and Rays (Michael Perez) would best fit that billing."

    Cleveland tries to give game away, but fails It only took 340 pitches to get through this game, 170 for each side, so that was a pretty good accomplishment. Otherwise, no matter how hard Cleveland tried, they couldn’t help the White Sox break their 14-game home losing streak. To be fair, it’s not like the Sox didn’t do their share of trying to give the game away, though they of course succeeded. ...2024
