October 18, 20169 yr LET"S GO INDIANS! PUT BLUE JAYS OUT OF MISERY. btw, Jose Bautista thinks there is a playoff conspiracy.
October 18, 20169 yr The Indians have only trailed for one inning the entire postseason. They trailed 1-0 after the first inning of game 1 vs Boston but then tied it in the second inning and haven't trailed since. They are on an unprecedented run so far this postseason.
October 18, 20169 yr QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) everything is falling the indians way Well the curse is broken now so...a lineup full of hall of famers couldn't win a World Series in the 90s but a team that everyone counted dead before the playoffs even started has a great opportunity to do it. That's baseball

That's baseball Yea man - I didn't give them a chance against Boston or Toronto but did call for them to win the AL Central this past offseason. If the Dodgers are in the World Series I'll be rooting for them - otherwise, I'll become a huge Cleveland fan for a week or two. ?
October 18, 20169 yr Andrew Miller This Series: 17 batters faced 15 outs 13 strikeouts. So far this is by far the most dominant performance for a reliever in postseason history

October 18, 20169 yr Blue Jays are just in a funk with the bats. Cleveland pitchers outside of Miller, Kluber, and Allen aren't even that good.
October 18, 20169 yr Salazar could be back for the World Series. http://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/indians-...g-world-series/
October 18, 20169 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Oct 17, 2016 -> 10:59 PM) Pretty sure the Indians are the actual team of destiny here. Probably destined to get smacked by the Cubs. They reek of a team who comes up short on the final test, highly overachieving right now and winning too many close games. They've been more lucky than good if you ask me. I have not been following them closely, but on surface Tomlin and Bauer are absolutely not #2 and #3 PO starters. Even if Salazar comes back, he was horrific in the post ASB. Their OF and catcher position players are probably the worst in recent postseason memory. Bullpen is a question mark outside of Miller and Allen. That said, Miller is a real life video game player right now, easily cutting the game from 9 to 7 innings. Their defense plus timely offense has been incredible (only 3 players hitting above .230 in the postseason), let's see how long this could hold up (I'd like it to hold up for another 5 games).

But is just mere coincidence that they did this to the Red Sox as well? Good pitching has a way of creating slumps.

Its so crazy that they are doing this without Salazar and Carrasco. Maybe both can come back for the World Series and split a game? Example: Carrasco goes 3-4 innings, Salazar goes 3-4, bullpen covers rest.

Salazar might be ready, but there is zero chance Carrasco comes back. The report yesterday said he just shed his cast and expects to start throwing again in six weeks.
