Saturday night the scrappy Indians lost a tough one at home against Detroit when their bullpen gave up two runs in the 8th, and at least one fan didn’t appreciate having to watch such a disappointing performance after driving all the way from Michgan.
And Jason Kipnis didn’t appreciate the fan’s criticism.
The fan said:
And we wonder why only 9,000 people show up to Indians game in September. This team is pathetic. @Indians @TheJK_Kid

Kipnis replied:
@TomHorsman Pardon my language but you're a fucking idiot.. This team competed it's ass off tonight and played a great game.

I get it..You can be frustrated. We got guys underachieving, not playing well, no ones hot and no real mashers, AND WERE STILL IN THIS THING
— Jason Kipnis (@TheJK_Kid) September 14, 2014
So don't ever question this teams heart or effort.. You should want over achievers! That means they have a pulse and give a damn each game!

Amen! RT“@joymama25: @TomHorsman @TheJK_Kid @Indians Tom, I'm betting Kipnis and the rest of the Tribe are more disappointed than you are.”

To his credit – I guess – the fan did not back down.
Kipnis got in the last word.
I wonder if that guys gonna keep my jersey 😳

Just another satisfied customer, Jason.
