If you’re a baseball fan, hopefully you realize that complaining about Spring Training isn’t the greatest use of your time. After all, the season is, like, eight months long and games in March mean about as much as…well, they mean nothing.
Sure, they’re important for teams and players trying to shake off the offseason rust but they’re pretty much useless outside of that, which means griping about lineups and rosters is a colossal waste of energy. But because Twitter is Twitter and every sports team has fans with too much time and negativity on their hands, it happens.
Fortunately, the Cleveland Indians official Twitter account has a pretty good sense of humor about the whole thing.
