Virtually every big league player has weighed in on the Houston Astros' sign-stealing scandal, but (apart from Trevor Bauer) no one has been more vocal than Cleveland Indians starter Mike Clevinger. "Sunshine" has not held back his thoughts on Houston's misconduct, and in a recent interview with Starting 9, Clevinger continued his anti-Astro campaign.

Clevinger, who was clearly less than impressed with the apologies from Astros players, asked, “Why would you need a piece of paper to say sorry for being the biggest piece of s*** in baseball history?”

The right-hander continued on to bash the team for its lack of accountability, citing the fact that players frequently referred to the team as a whole, or the commissioner's findings, rather than using terms like "we" or "us."

Like the rest of the league, Clevinger is not satisfied with Houston's attempts to act remorseful.

Unfortunately, Clevinger will start the season on the IL after undergoing surgery on his right knee. He will be sidelined 6-8 weeks, so he should be back in time for the Tribe's four-game series against the Astros in late June.

If he takes the mound for one of those games, it will be must-see TV.
