Yeah, we're not going to agree on that one bit. Never.

Diaz being on the roster didn't make or break anything. The over-analyzing of the rotation order should have gone out the window when Bauer shit on NY in game 1 and Cookie shit on NY in game 3.

Tito put us in position to sweep, and sweep easy. Not his fault his team couldn't score a run in a game 3, and then forgot how to play baseball entirely in games 4 and 5.

I don't care what a manager does, when your best players don't produce, you're going to lose.

That's what happened here. Plain and simple. No reason to scapegoat the guy who put us in position to win in 3 games.

We should have bunted Kipnis in when he was on third. I think there was only 1 out. Sure it would have looked desperate but that could have made the difference.

The team didn't score a run in game three, geez maybe we could have used a bat better than half the fucking lineup.

Sweep easy? It was a goddamn miracle we won Game 2. Kluber was off from the very beginning of the playoffs. All the talk about him not starting Game 5 with an extra day rest made no fuckin sense because he started Game 2 with an extra day rest.

What happens if he starts Game 1 on normal rest like every other fucking manager in baseball would have done? Is he his normal self? Because if so, we win the series.
 
Thought the move to Allen was needless. Shaw was looking good. I hate making unnecessary pitching changes in such high stake games. Never know if the next guy is going to be on or not.

Shocking the difference between what we saw in the postseason vs. the last few months of the regular season. I was convinced they were losing tonight. You could just see them falling apart as the series went on.

Ramirez looked like Michael Martinez the entire series. The casual fan must be stunned he is in the MVP race. I would've never imagined that he'd end up as arguably the most worthless player in the series.

The fact that Judge was a fucking disaster makes it even worse. If you told me he gets 1 hit and 87 strike outs in the series, I would have put the farm on the Tribe.

Did the fact that we’re on here obsessively posting on this message board not clue you in to that fact earlier?

There are plenty of people that post on message boards that don't completely over react to a game.

This wasn't a 162 game season. It was a 5 game playoff against a good team with key players yet again injured late in the season. If you expected things to go perfect you were kidding yourself.

No way.

Your MVP candidate who doesn't strike out a lot should be able to put a ball in play in that situation.

A lot of the ire people are directing at Tito should go towards Jose, Frankie, Kip, Brantley, Kluber...those 5 just didn't show up.

Fuck this team. Sorry if you wanna dislike this post. But fuck this team. Major choke job. Pathetic.

Spot on. Fuck this team, and fuck the players that contributed to the choking. I love this team, but fuck them at this very moment. You win 22 in a row and magically forget how to play baseball. 2017 doesn't mean shit to me anymore, I can deal with proper losing, but not the bullshit display we saw for 3 games. The only memory I want of this team is pure torture, and thats my fucking avatar.
 
I don't think Allen is bad but when it's tight I don't have as much confidence as I would like to have in my closer.
 
The only mitigating thing is that this is still a really good club and, barring injuries, they should get another bite at the apple. There's still hope they can make this right.
