Surprised no-one has commented on this yet... he's played a whopping 4 innings in his career out there? Personally... I like it, the bat is too good to have on the bench, wind's blowing out and there should be plenty of bombs tonight. Or Francona looks like a mutt and a play in LF is the difference in the game... any thoughts on this?

I think if you are the Indians going into a slug fest at Wrigley with the wind blowing out, Tomlin (one of the worst fly ball pitchers in MLB with lots of HR surrendered) as your starter, and up against the NL ERA leader; you have much bigger concerns than the ability of your left fielder.

That second strike to Santana wasn't even close.

[Jonn]

Brutal f***ing call lol

[thatoneguy]

Another awful call.

[Stevecool]

That strike call on napoli lol

[Nabru]

Is the fix in? Hopefully Tomlin gets those off the plate as well.

[wk680]

Well, after the called strikes in that 1st inning, it is nice to see the Indians getting some of the same medicine the Jays had to swallow in the ALCS. What goes around has a habit of coming back around.

Tomlin on 12 days rest is pumped. Hit 89 twice already

By pitch fx Jays pitchers got more calls than the Indians.

Someone Dan Haren can relate to. #ithrow88

[Stevecool]

Come on buck they had no chance to get the runner there

[Stevecool]

Cubs really trying to negate Indians speed

It's actually Napoli playing I would have questioned. I know he's shown power against RHP but Crisp playing LF and Santana playing 1B seems to make more sense to me. I love Francona's comments though saying "if Santana doesn't make a play that's not on him...it's on me".

[Spanky99]

Nice turn.

Same on the latter.

[Stevecool]

If cubs continue to shut down Indians speed they should win

[Spanky99]

Nice AB

[thatoneguy]

Hendricks reminds me a lot of Estrada.

[Stevecool]

That first inning by cleveland may have been their best chance

[Stevecool]

Madden. Has figured out how to beat cleveland. Be aggressive on shutting down their speed runners

[Candy Maldonado]

I see Buck is more sober for the national broadcast.

Very cool, Steve.

[Brownie19]

It's a pleasure watching these 2 control artists 'pitch'. I love it.

[jays4life19]

Not watching the game live. Is Hendricks getting BABIP'd or is he getting hit hard?

[Stevecool]

That cats with hats commercial eneough please

[thatoneguy]

That wasn't a strike?

 

wtf

[Brownie19]

One pitch Perez didn't receive very well
