Mike Clevinger Goes on Twitter Rampage and Takes Aim at Astros, Lance McCullers and Houston Fans
By Karl Rasmussen
Mike Clevinger is one of the more vocal players in the MLB, so it's no surprise that he's been up in arms in regards to the Astros' sign-stealing scandal. Well, after chiming in on some social media beef between Trevor Bauer and Lance McCullers -- and siding with his former teammate -- Clevinger escalated things on Thursday.
The Indians' starter went on a social media rant, trashing McCullers in a series of tweets -- referring to the Astros' pitcher as a snowflake emoji.
Clevinger re-initiated the beef by saying he hopes the MLB forces the Astros to relocate to Montreal.
A bit of an odd punishment, but we'll hear him out.
Clevinger then said Astros' players "shouldn't feel comfortable looking at any of us in the eye," before proceeding to challenge anyone who didn't agree with him.
The right-hander is one of the hardest-throwing pitchers in the league, and it seems like he'd like to use that to his advantage when the Indians face off with the Astros in 2020.
Clevinger wasn't done there, however, as he took a shot at the entire Astros fanbase in his parting dig.
Clearly, Clevinger is infuriated about the whole scandal, and rightfully so, going as far as to suggest the sign stealing is worse than steroids.
The way things are going for the Astros right now, it may be better for McCullers not to reply.
