2018 ALDS | Cleveland Indians vs. Houston Astros | Starts Oct. 5th

[KilgoreTrout]

In 20 years, we’re going to look back at this rotation+Lindor and wonder how we never won the whole thing. We were one goddamned drone and fluke Carrasco injury away.

Who else should he have sent out there?

Perez. I’m not even sure I would have put Cody on the postseason roster. He was done.

 

[Kiddo]

CF - Allen
LF - Brantley - Need to resign him
SS - Lindor - Extend his contract this off season
3B - Donaldson - Try and resign him
2B - Jose
1B - Yandy
DH - EE
Right Fielder - Trade some prospects for someone who is good and young. Ozuna would be great.
C - Gomes

Kluber
Bauer
Clev
CC
Beiber

Move Salazar to the bullpen as a set up guy for Hand. Try and sign Miller.

 

[BMAN]

Not sure I want Miller back. That dude might be done. If he comes cheap then yeah I guess I’ll take him back.

They need to re sign Lindor. Whatever it takes.

 

[CinematicFusion]

Man, the Astros won it all last year, the Indians should’ve been the ones “on a mission” after running out of gas in 2016 and then shitting themselves after being up 2-0 last year.

I'n with you. Indians matched up well against the Astros. Many....in fact all of baseball expected this series to go 5 with the winner representing the AL in the world series. These teams are deep with few weaknesses. Bauer was supposed to be the elite arm out of the pen to get it to Hand in the 9th. He was supposed to do what Morton did for the Astros last year.

Didn't happen.... That's why I said what I said. Hats off to the Astros. Sucks...

We were one goddamned drone OR fluke Carrasco injury away.

FTFY

For real though, just one healthy pitcher in our rotation and we seal it, either with that pitcher or by being able to properly rest Kluber.

Last year was a bummer but at least we had the streak and that epic Game 2 comeback to smile about. This was just miserable. A division title ain't bad, but a forgettable season compared to the last two.

 

[JMoneyYourHoney]

So are we, Jose. Can we expect you to bat above .100 the rest of the year, or should we delay our expectations until next summer?

LOL. Got tagged with 3 disagrees for this when it turns out that I was being generous by suggesting .100

I'll bet Mr. No Show wishes he was still waiting.

Don't ever be this fan.

 

[Real Deal]

Don't ever be this fan.

Yeah, wait until he gets to warming up in Boston. If he won't be hearing any slurs, he'll be hearing about how he hits women.

 

[Kevalier]

Don't ever be this fan.

I have zero issues with that fan heckling Osuna. Anyone who is suspended for 75 games for domestic violence shouldn’t even be eligible for the postseason and deserves any scorn directed at him. The only reason he isn’t in jail is because he’s a professional baseball player.

 

[Chris]

Hard to disagree.

Bringing it up as a form of trash talk is kinda bad. But like the article says, I think they all suck, in this situation.

 

[Stark]

Don't ever be this fan.

Osuna is a piece of shit. Shouldn't have been allowed to pitch and he deserves any and all criticism for what he did to that woman.

I have no sympathy for that prick, just like I have none for Chapman.

Yeah, he’s a piece of shit.

But also, don’t be that fan.

 

[Stark]

Yeah, he’s a piece of shit.

But also, don’t be that fan.

Yeah, I get what you mean. Not defending either side really.

 

[JDailey23]

Was he proven guilty?
