The legacy of a team getting called the Indians because they had a Native American player and the league tainted them because of it? Whose family and Tribe didn’t want the name kept? Hell, keeping that name under that circumstance throws away their legacy.

Cleveland Caucasians would have used restorative justice to honor their legacy.

Lynn should start Game 3 lol

Who should start game 1? Just a question not being smart ?

This team even going to a run in Houston? Offense so bad.

I would go Gio game 1 Rodon game 2 even as a opener give Lynn game 3 at the cell

Giolito should start game 1

Sore knee 2 phat he will be phine. 

Shoulda thrown Ramirez cutters and Gimenez sinkers. Maybe then there wouldn't be any home runs hit off Lynn so far. 

Let's not get shutout by a guy with an ERA, FIP, and xFIP over 5

Should have known we wouldn't hit a shit pitcher like Morgan. It's been a trend in the 2nd half.

Lynn has gotten away with a ton of challenge sinkers/4seamers that are middle-middle this year. I would have preferred a cutter too, but Lynn really rides his luck throwing so many pitches middle-middle vs good hitters.

I would start Rodon game 1 as he's proven himself in Houston this year. If his arm falls off you go to Lopez and Kopech. I would go Rodon and Gio and then Lynn and Cease. 

Morgan has gotten crazy lucky on a couple of these 

So many warning track shots

That sounds good in theory, but I don't see how you can expect more than 3 innings from Rodon right now. You really want to do what will likely be a bullpen game in Game 1?

He got a horseshoe up his ass tonight. Positive ABs at least

lmao we're getting no hit through 4.

Yeah I've never seen a pitcher throw so many fastballs right down the pipe and get weak contact like Lynn. At some point it's not all luck.

I start Gio in game 1 because he'll be better able to start again in game 5.

Won't matter if the offense doesn't show up.

I don't think him getting good results is luck by any means, but I don't think he'll come close to a 2.50 ERA over his next 150 innings either

NO HITTER

Yeah Lynn's always been a mid 3 ERA guy even when he was a 7 WAR pitcher with the Rangers in 2019. That's what I think he probably will be going forward. 

I keep thinking one of these innings the Sox are going to light up Morgan for at least 3 runs. Then I remember he has a good changeup.

Pitchers with an ERA over 5 that have 1 good offspeed pitch are this offense's kryptonite

It really is baffling. Granted Morgan has had some good outings against good lineups. He also gives up 2 HRs per 9.
