I'd get mad about Judge stealing a homerun from Lindor, but that was a lazy fly ball in every park but Yankee Stadium's little league right field. And Judge is like 8 feet tall.

NYY & BOS the two biggest jokes in MLB......and Judge does play above the rim.

That was one of the most frustrating games to watch. The Indians approach at the plate was terrible. I think I could count on one hand how many splitters actually hit the strike zone.... what were they doing.... Honestly... just stand there and take a walk... you don't have to swing at bouncing balls...Kip with a one out triple and your 3 and 4 hitter can't even put the ball in play? 

Andrew Miller has the nastiest slider in the MLB and he gets in to throw 12 pitches and throws a belt high fastball to a .190 hitter...

They deserved to lose that game. 

(Oh ya... Judge's can of corn fly ball 6 inch hop wasn't anywhere near what they made it out to be. Greg Allen at 5' 5" makes that play too. But I'm sure we will get to watch it 400+ times before the end of the series as the greatest athletic play in the history of the MLB)

How did you become a Browns fan?

My father served in the Coast Guard from '80-83 I believe, and during his time, he knew Otto Graham. 
Otto would come to the mess hall every day, my dad was a cook. He said every day he came in and would tell him a funny joke.

One day when I was about 8, he showed me an autographed picture made of Otto in his CG uniform, made out to my grandparents that said my dad was a good cook.

I always thought that was the coolest thing.  He told me who he played for and all of the championships he won back in the 40s and 50s. That's what made me become a fan

 Had that picture forever but somehow lost it moving between places in Myrtle Beach.. Hopefully someday it'll turn up somewhere

This rain really concerns me.

For the Tribe's sake, it might have been better for this game to get rained out. Bauer could start tomorrow on four days rest, then Kluber, plus the pen (Miller) could get another day off.

Would Tomlin, the original plan, have been better? Hell yes, oh well game 5 the Yank$ original plan. :huh:

Could have went Tomlin, Salazaar and Clev but I don't really think Bauer threw poorly.  To many errors. Can't win in the MLB when you give up 6 unearned.

True uncharacteristically bad unearned runs by a normally great defensive team, two on the great Urshela! OMG!

Wow what a game! 
I was surprised Urshela didn't go to third or tag Gardner instead of rushing the throw to first.. Todd Frazier was running. I am faster than Todd Frazier!

I still don't think that CC can match up against Corey K, but I am surprised this series is going to 5 games.

Scary thing is.... it's baseball. So who the hell knows what will happen.

If we can only win one more game this post season, please let it be this one..... I can't stand the Yankees and their "fans".

Coming from a Yankees fan,  I can say that most of our fanbase is flaky.. But I wouldn't be too upset if we lose gm5. If that is the case I am going for Cleveland to win it all

If your a true Yankee fan (can name their entire bullpen) I can handle it. It's the dumbasses that buy a Yankee hat at the gas station, keep the stickers on it, never bend the brim and wanna tell me how awesome they are but can't name 3 players that I just can't handle. And there are way to many of them....

Kahnle, Robertson, Chapman, Greene, Betances, Warren, Garcia

Haha I know that feeling bro.. Too many fair weather fans just rocking the hats and have no knowledge whatsoever about the team...

My brother texts me from his job training out of town where he can't watch any of the games. Asks me to keep him posted.

He asks me what the hell happened. I said,  "it's pretty uncanny. Almost every single player from game three on had either the worst series of their career or a serious mistake that cost a game.  I don't think it could ever happen to any team ever again (like the streak) 

cy young winner chokes twice, two best players go 4- for the series, DH goes down game two, 7 errors in two games. Miller gives up game winning homerun.  No way to rationalize it.

The errors were little league status. 7 errors in two games. Everyone Napoli'd at the end of the series. IM TALKING TO YOU LINDOR!
