For The Tribe Board not the Browns Board

Actually this is even bigger that just a Cleveland story it's soon if not already a sports media event, the CLEVELAND INDIANS are the lead sports story on outlets everywhere including outside the USA.

Good luck getting tickets in Cleveland if they win the next three in Seattle.   :o (meanwhile the beloved BROWNS are in search of a first win....and an identity)

Still belongs in Baseball-not football

And when the CAVS finally broke the 1964 winless championship streak it splashed everywhere this would be much bigger.

And yes it it is on the Baseball forum.....for those few that post there. :)

Thing is Tito (when did Terry become Tito, Jr.?) has to set his rotation for the playoffs yet hold off the Astros and try to catch the Dodgers.

Seattle: Bauer, Carrasco, Kluber <--- these are the current projection... I did not find more. http://cleveland.indians.mlb.com/news/probable_pitchers/index.jsp?c_id=cle

Twins: Clevinger, Tomlin, Bauer <--- would be the next in the rotation

White Sox: Carasco, Kluber, Clevinger <--- would be the next in the rotation

That doesn't set up Kluber for the first round where you'd want him to start Game 1 and be ready for Game 5, if needed. And I'd think you'd want a rotation of Kluber - Carrasco - Bauer - Tomlin for the playoffs and none of that is set either. Clevinger is a non-issue as word is he goes to the pen for the playoffs.

Might have to spot in Salazar for Carasco and manufacture a game out of the pen vs. CHI limiting Kluber to 3 innings or so as if it was his throwing day between starts... maybe same for Carasco with Salazar in long relief. Try to strike a balance without giving too much rest. Might even give Kluber the Bauer start ending the Twins series... again in a limited, "throwing day" type start.

It'll be interesting...

Go Tribe!

Go Browns!

In Seattle Cleveland pitchers 49 wins Seattle 9 wins......then they go back home vs Minnesota and the lowly WSX, mission impossible maybe not.

Meanwhile our BROWNS are a push at Indy without luck, but we'll take any win, soon.

Seattle always seems to play us tough and Twins will be likely be playing for their playoff lives. ChiSox are mailing it in... checking out kids.

But still have to set that Post-season rotation...

Hey no problem in MLB you can easily lose a good team has a .600 W/L record. HR in the bottom of the 9th it  happens.

We just need to get them to win the last game they play in the postseason.

Fuck Me.   Yea, name the only team to ever lose two World Series in Extra Innings in the 7th game.

OK....check that, another team actually did have it happen.  The Giants,early on.  Here is the list of WS 7th games to go into extras:

1912 Boston Red Sox over NY Giants

1924 Washington Senators over NY Giants   (difference being that the Giants won a couple of World Series in the interim)

1991 Minnesota Twins over Atlanta Braves  1-0 Jack Morris

1997 Miami Marlins over Indians

2001 Arizona Diamondbacks over Yankees

2016 Chicago Cubs over Indians.

I can't watch Rajai Davis' homerun off Chapman in Game 7 without getting really depressed.

To me, it's not a great moment (even though it was a great accomplishment by Davis) but just a big tease.

Man I want this World Series.
