For all the conversations we've had earlier in the year, this game proves it. Postseason baseball is a crap shoot. Any team can beat anyone, even 3 in a row.
Who else thought of Andrus' errors during that play?
These elite shutdown closers are having trouble in these games.
Except of course Giles, but he doesn't count as a shut down closer.

That aside, he is still one of the best play-by-play guys in the game.CorpsAg11 said:
Smoltz is the best. Vasgersian would be ok if he didn't have a really dumb catch phrase (SANTA MARIA!!!!).
Maybe I'm just used to his style because of The Show.

Probably because these managers keep pulling their starters after 2-3 innings. Teams are blowing through their bullpens .... I hope we don't do the same in the ALCS
Judge's approach early in the AB is to not swing at all in hopes of walking.
I hate the Yankee mystique. I hope the fellas DGAF about it, and I live to see an Astros World Championship!
Cleveland fans ready to sniff the pipe since first inning. Not taking this s@@tshow Rey well. Can't say that I blame them.
Comedy gold at Plain Dealer live comments during the game.

I have no faith Hinch won't be incredibly reactionary the whole series. For all the credit he gets for this season.. I still have no faith in him to stick with what got us here.

good news is i get to g to a verlander pitched day playoff game on a saturday
+1
Honestly I think we can take either one of these teams in 5 games.
I'm predicting Astros in 6 though

Party because they are being extended beyond their norm. That was 40 pitches for Allen. Way too many.Ag_07 said:

Sure
yep, managers are panicking way too early in these series. Stick to what got you there...until facing elimination
Yes. That is exactly why I was weary about making a big trade when we had already locked up the division. I'm glad we did it now (b/c we kept Tucker / Whitley). But people who argued that getting Verlander guaranteed a World Series have not watched enough October baseball..CSWendt said:

I'm just disappointed that Judge didn't get his set of Olympic Rings.
What is the deal with FS1 pumping up the buckeyes so hard? Good grief
Judge is 0-5 w/ 4 K's.

Especially if the Tribe have a 3 run 9th and this thing goes 21 innings.
Judge went 0-5 to likely finish this series 1-20 (.050), 1H, 1R, 0HR, 2 RBI - 16Ks, 4BBs
Joe West is a fat piece of **** and a waste of oxygen.
Ramirez looks like he wants to cry
I really hope Keuchel and Verlander can go 6+ innings each this weekend. I hate these knee jerk decisions to pull starters in the 3rd inning
MVP numbers right there.Buck Compton said:

Lol didn't want to swing at anything
Still looks like he wants to cry
TBH, Chapman's star neck tattoos look kinda gay...
Indians got their historic winning streak, but it likely cost them the LCS. They could have played Boston.
In most cases, you don't want to pull a guy early, but let's assume we have LMJ and McHugh in the pen. How long do you stick with Peacock and Morton if one were to struggle early?
I just hope they're effective enough that it's worth it. They are the only arms that should go more than 5 IMO
Yeah, what's with that? Is there some kind of fear in the game now of not using your bullpen's best arms before being eliminated? I thought hoping your starter goes 6+ before using pen arms was an air tight strategy.tjholley17 said:

Never noticed, but you're on point. Definitely quite ghey.
and what contributes to that...starting pitchers wear out as the season goes along sometimes. They aren't quite the same pitchers by the time October rolls around.
