Akron Beacon Journal misspelling Daisuke Matsuzaka's name in article on his release is about all you need to know about his tenure with the Indians





Daiskuke Matsuzaka asks to leave; wish granted by Indians
By SHELDON OCKER Published: August 20, 2013
ANAHEIM, Calif.: Daisuke Matsuzaka asked to leave the Indians' organization and was granted his release today.  
Matsuzaka signed a minor league contract with the Tribe last winter and has spent the season at Columbus, where he compiled a 5-8 record and 3.92 ERA in 19 starts. In 103 1/3 innings, he walked 39 and struck out 95.  
Two weeks ago, an Indians official was asked what chance Matsuzaka had of being a September call-up and said that while the right-hander was performing satisfactorily, ""There are two or three starters ahead of him.''

You can't make this kind of stuff up folks. Just the typical N.E. Ohio sports media, being the N.E. Ohio sports media. So many mistakes in this three paragraph article, I don't event know where to begin. One would with the first word in the headline misspelled. And who the hell was asked about Dice-K's chances with the Indians? Why were they asked? Who did they tell that to? Answers you must include in a story on the ABJ.

Ohh Ohio journalism, how I love you.
