Keuchel on current pace for 137 IP. 24 starts remaining x 6 IP=144 26 innings pitched in 6 starts=4.5 IP per start That would get him to 170. Extremely unlikely but not completely out of the realm of possibility with VV and Cueto the other two options and needing to rest Kopech. Can't believe they would go with a six man rotation for Kopech but stranger things have happened.

Pretty sure that's already 7 or 8 blown saves by the team...very close to last in the majors except for Boston and right up there with the Pirates for most fielding errors in the majors. Incredibly fortunate to be .500 at this juncture.

They have drafted a TON of relievers. The problem is most of them haven't panned out...at least until this season. Still the bulk of the bulk of late inning responsibility falls to imported talent.

No way he goes to Kelly in the 6th. To TLR he is forever postseason 8th inning stud Joe Kelly and nothing else.

Well, I definitely wouldn't bet against the Sox. Not sure how confident I would be betting huge on them, though. The Indians' offense was bound to come back down to earth. Likely comes down to pitching to win it...and injuries/attrition. That said Moncada playing like a star would help offset the aging issues with Abreu and Grandal.

The magic from that night can only be recaptured once every decade or so.

They're obviously going to struggle without Buxton and Correa, just like the White Sox don't win tonight without Luis Robert.

I'm not sure what he actually did well. Should have had McGuire in for Grandal. Trusting Hendriks?...but it really came down to Kiner Falefa's base running blunder.

Sox and Twins both two games behind the Twins now. +4 to E.

A game where LaRussa can't use Kelly or Hendriks but still win would be nice.

Cuban Connection. Slider or splitter. Let the hottest Sox hitters beat them. That will be second guessed by Yankees' fans looking to load bases for slumping countryman Abreu.

Stay disciplined and hit it to RF Luis.

guardians scored two, 3-1 bottom of 10 against Clase.

Chapman isn't automatic in these tie situations. If only Vaughn could face him again.

Not even warning track power.

Well 5-6. But point taken. Little Leaguers need to be trained to catch or be left handed relievers.

Foster probably...unless they need to use a lefty.

Vaughn is not particularly scared but unlikely to get a shot here.

No no no. The fact that he has such a terrible arm led to the Yankees getting too aggressive...trying to take advantage. Shout out to Pods and Juan Pierre.

Waiting for "but he's still the best reliever in baseball" Stans to come out of the woodwork. Most overpaid this season so far. That said five out saves against the Yankees never going to be a cakewalk.

That was dumb dumb dumb by IKF. Inexcusable error by Yankees.

That's why I did something else more productive to save wasting 2 1/2 hours of my life where either a blowout or Sox bullpen implosion seemed two likeliest outcomes.

Well, who didn't see this coming?

What's the scoring rate of leadoff walks in the 9th? 65-68%?

That's way too conservative. $40-50 million is ideal. Would have been close with Kimbrel.
