If you don't know Mike Clevinger, he's an Indians pitcher with a pretty honest approach to everything. Today, he launched on the Houston Astros and their cheating scandal. This report comes from Sports Illustrated, but Clevinger said it on Barstool's Starting 9.
Yup, that's Carrabis with that ridiculous Amish beard on Clevinger's right in the clip below:
"Mike Clevinger is calling out the Astros for the weak apologies they made recently in the fallout of the team's sign-stealing scandal...

'Why would you need a piece of paper to say sorry for being the biggest piece of s--- in baseball history? I don't understand that, but they did. They needed a piece of paper and read it like a robot. First I've ever heard those boys talk about it," he said.
"They just keep on referring to one year when everybody in the right mind knows it was every single year and they just got caught.'"
Look, he's right. And now of course more and more pro players are coming forward. Aaron Judge said something the other day. Kenley Jansen is pissed. Hell, even LeBron James said something.
Just goes to show that the pressure is on and Manfred and Clark better try and fix this problem quick. Perhaps with a 2 to 3 year suspension and if I could have my way, a lifetime ban for smug a-holes like Alex Bregman, Carlos Correa, George Springer and of course, the tiny dude, Jose Altuve.
Good story, nice work Barstool.
