  1. Sweet now the entire game can be pitched by Kluber, Miller and Allen
  2. I'm sure some of that is by design by Cleveland pitching
  3. Coghlan is now 1-19 in the playoffs over the last 2 seasons
  4. Maybe this will be like the Giants game where we suck all game offensively and randomly put it together for a run. Oh wait Giants pen vs Indians pen
  5. Again while I was really trying to buy into the whole "Javy randomly turned into a very good hitter overnight" I was always kind of bracing for this because well he's done it all year. Has 2 good weeks then a bad month. I am not sure why...actually kind of perplexing to see someone have a great approach and then a terrible one. but either way this is regular season Javy. Just be thankful we had awesome Javy earlier in the playoffs because I'm not sure we are even playing right now without him.
  6. You know what horsefeathers defense. If we continue to struggle at the plate I am at least considering benching Javy tomorrow. I can't believe I'm saying that and it's probably still stupid, but he's an automatic out right now at a time where we absolutely cannot have automatic outs
  7. I....I feel so dead...I feel like the air is rushing out
  8. Big game lackey now has 7 ER in 10 postseason innings. Should have just gotten a haircut and skipped town
  9. Is it bad that I'm thinking ticket prices for tomorrow might plummet?
  10. My new hope for this series: hit a single HR. Just one. Please
  11. I love how more people are attending these Indians watch parties than pretty much every Indians home game this year.
  12. Ahh yes hitting hard right to fielders again. Feel like the chips are stacked against us right now.
  13. Hopefully pen is ready. Lackey isn't going more than 4, possibly not more than 3
  14. Hopefully we have Kris Bryant the next time we make the World Series
  15. I wondered the same thing. If there's such thing as karma....
  16. I don't understand. Over the last week I swear I've heard the Cubs struggle against fastballs curveballs and breaking pitches. How exactly did we score so many rubs again? Walking and lucky hits
  17. I was just thinking. This is the first time that one of our 4 starters is all but guaranteed to be making their last start of the season. The finality of this is starting to sink in.
  18. I had to double check to make sure I didn't make this post. Everything you just said is completely what I have been going through but I haven't been able to articulate it in the right way. This is the freaking year of the Cubs. Everything this year has been about the Cubs winning the title. During the season I noticed it but given how the playoffs are a crapshoot I didn't allow myself to lose perspective of our actual odds of winning it. Now we're here and 3 wins away. We can't rely on beating the crapshoot again next year or the year after. We have to do it now and then everything else is gravy. Come on guys lets do this.
  19. Dammit. Was really hoping that wasn't the case
  20. Hopefully this game puts to bed the assumption that because the wind is blowing out there is going to be a ton of runs scored. Good pitchers making their pitchers can still keep the score low. Yes the margin for error is much smaller but there have been like 3-4 games this year with heavy winds blowing out that were very low scoring. Hendricks pitched in one of those games back in May
