Championship Series Thread

yeah I forgot about it

[Ding Dong Johnson]

I didn't know, and that's fine by me

Francona just said he told Bauer to keep the bloody ball because it might be worth something some day. I laughed.

Indians looking very good

At this point I want them to sweep. The World Series starts a week from tomorrow (holy crap!) so I guess I would hope that they will be rusty for game 1 or something.

The ALCS could be over before NLCS Game 3 starts.

[Derwood]

Andrew Miller is ridiculous

[Brian707]

Maybe the Indians will do what the 2007 Rockies did. Go 7-0 and then have a week off and get swept in the World Series.

I'd like them to have to throw Kluber one more time. Not sure how many games that would take.

8 teams have swept a best-of-7 LCS and only the 95 Braves won the World Series. Of the other 7, the 14 Royals won 3 games and the rest lost in either 4 or 5.

He's pitching tomorrow, Game 4, on short rest

What I think about when I hear Trevor Bauer.

[Sammys Boombox]

I want Allen and Miller to throw a ton of innings in close games that the Indians just barely keep losing and then they win in Game 7 but both those guys have dead arms.

[bukie]

Indians gambled on short rest Kluber today, because they are just plain out of starters. They lost, so they are bullpen gaming tomorrow and Tomlin would be able to go game 6. Series on.

[Cubswin11]

Yeah I didn't like them going Kluber on short rest today. He's their best chance to win so make sure he's rested to give you that chance with the luxury of being up 3-0 and knowing you have bullpen games anyways coming up.

Their bullpen was shot from going 8.1 on Monday. They couldn't afford back to back pen games.

Yeah, they really got hit by that Bauer injury. If he can even go 5 or 6 in Game 3, they could have gone pen day in Game 4.

These last few posts have me aching to win this LA series even more than I was.

injuns bringing out the whoopin sticks today

Miller: 11.2 IP, 5 H, 2 BB 20 K.

as if it needed to be stated, 0 ER

Sorry I'm an ass and am rooting for the Dodgers if the Cubs don't win. If the Indians win, the next most recent championship drought (as in teams that have won one before) becomes the 1979 Pirates

[bcl412]

I'd care more about the Indians if the Cavs hadn't just won.

That feels like cheating pretty bad on the stat when it's technically true but ignores teams that have been around for 50+ years but never won.
