Go Indians!

[vdartanian]

So "now" the Cleveland defence decides to boot the ball around...f*** those guys!

[Mittens87]

Hopefully the Indians can up the pay roll a bit and maybe sign a few key free agents, maybe a few big trades would be nice too. Don't want to see this s*** team if they are in the World Series next year

Yo man, should I shave half my head? The underscore of long hair? It's really long... like uhmmm... the folk that get tats on their head, do? Or keep my hair?

[Stevecool]

Rajai should bunt fit a base hit

[Stevecool]

Davis got robbed there that was a hit

[Stangstag]

Wow brutal call. That was totally fair

WTF! Shave it all go full BamBam Bigilo (SP?) and Iron Mike at the same time. What have you got to lose?

[Stangstag]

Its BS that there are certain calls you can't challenge, like that stupid foul call right there. Ridiculous. Rajai would have been on 1st with no outs, that's almost a guaranteed run for the Indians.

[vdartanian]

I wanna see the tats or GTFO!

[Spanky99]

Depends if I shave my head!

[Spanky99]

Cubs Win.

[thatoneguy]

Good.

When the Cubs scored their run in the 1st inning on the double by Rizzo and Bryant scored from first base, did anyone else say what if Donaldson had scored on Edwin's double in Game 1 of the ALCS? That's the first thought that came to my mind watching that.

Well... Bryant is healthy, JD's hip is a real issue and this what if or could have, to another ballgame is asinine, eat dicks, cheers Spanky

Bryant is a fair bit younger and to my knowledge doesn't have any injury issues that would affect his base running. I don't think that's a fair comparison nor do I see any particular play worth dwelling on. We lost because the offense didn't generate enough runs.

[FrozenRopes]

Two great games so far.

Bryant was the 8th best base runner in baseball last year (7.3 BsR). Donaldson ended the year at a 0.2 BsR. Bryant is a significantly better base runner - especially when you factor in JD's bad hip.

 

In 18 posts - you've said some pretty ignorant things (like suggesting Pillar should have won the GG last year over KK). You might consider doing more listening.

I didn't realise Perez had bells palsy. I love these types of stories.

The hits were completely different. Edwins was a rocket off the wall (leaving less time to run) while Rizzo's was more of a double down the line. Donaldson probably scores on Rizzo's double. Bryant MAYBE scores on Edwin's double.

 

EDIT: Watching both again, it looks like Donaldson could have scored off Edwin's double. So Bryant almost definitely would have scored. But as mentioned above, Bryant is a much better baserunner than Donaldson and JD was also dealing with the bad hip

Yes, Cleveland only scored a total of 12 runs in 5 games. Our offense in general just did not get the job done. But it is a good point he brought up about that first inning of game 1. Runners at 2nd and 3rd with one out and JB coming to the plate, and by my recollection, he struck out. Kluber allowed a number of baserunners, all of which were were stranded. That was an omen of bad things to come.

 

It reminded me of Happ stranding all those base runners in game 2 of the ALDS (doesn't feel too good to be on the other end of that).

I must've missed the memo where Chicago became a sovereign nation.

Bah.

I want the Indians to win but I don't feel sorry for Trevor Bauer getting ripped online, him bragging and he has really done nothing towards the Indians getting this far in the playoffs. Had a good regular season though
