I peeped First Take this morning and they were talking Indians, let alone MLB. I instantly turned the channel when I saw the topic was, "Will the Indians pull a 2016 Warriors?"
Such trash.
So unsurprising. Also on ESPN website: "Can the Indians win out?"

To put this pitching staff's dominance in perspective:

We are only 56 strikeouts away from the most strike outs by a pitching staff in a single season with 15 games to go.
The ticket guy I spoke with said almost 1200 new season ticket holders. Not sure if thats full season, or groups of partials.
Either way, this team is going to get a nice cash infusion.

And now I see an article saying "David Price can be this year's Andrew Miller"So unsurprising. Also on ESPN website: "Can the Indians win out?"

Nearly spit my drink all over my work computer
I don't really see the David Price comparison as that ridiculous. Maybe if the thinking is he'll be as dominant as Miller was, but I think it's alluding to Farrell turning to Price at critical moments in the 5th or 6th, like Francona did with Miller last year. Before he got hurt this year, Price was lethal vs. lefties (.489 OPS)
Obviously there are a ton of question marks regarding Price: his health, past postseason struggles, ego, etc.
For a split second I was semi-disappointed I couldnt get seats the area I wanted, but then I was overcome with joy knowing that people are committing to this team.They usually account for partials in their numbers. i.e. If 800 quarter plans sign up, they count that as 200 season ticket holders. That's my understanding. Looked at tickets for some of the remaining games today. Looks like mostly crap seats available for the weekend games.
The question is, is price willing to come out of the bullpen for the playoffs? I mean his stuff is very good and could easily be a factor if he did, but I am not sure how much he is willing to do that.
Miller comparison is a bit iffy for me since Price has never really pitched out of the pen which is slightly different than starting, but on paper it doesn't look bad, but this isn't the console games where players seem to be able to do any role you put them in regardless.
