That is awesome.  One of my favorite Cleveland baseball experiences ever - and I wasn't even there.

What a mess. 

To play or not to play?

Can’t cancel at this point. Waited 2 hrs!

And if they do, that fucks us so hard.

Or not. See you all tomorrow.

GO TRIBE !!!

I've got a good feeling today - with he pitching situation being what it is.  

Wouldn't it be nice to get a 5 run inning early on ..... and cruise to victory.  Then again, its CLE sports.

Go Tribe!

Looks like they’re still gonna start with Civale. I’m sure with a super short leash

Has to be a max of 9 batters. 

I do like our chances... but I loved them yesterday...

Well that was fun while it lasted

Rosario, for as valuable as he is, drives me absolutely crazy. 

Civale still getting the start today was such a fuck up by Tito.

I love Tito, but saving Bieber for tomorrow is questionable.

I love Tito, but saving Bieber for tomorrow is questionable.

He’s not saving him for tomorrow. I don’t think Bieber will ever go on short rest. Not with the shoulder issues last year. 

Civale in general this series was just a puke waiting to happen. 

Dumb. Civale was trash (duh). Hitters doing the exact opposite of what they’ve done all year (making the pitcher work). Just disappointing trash. 

That was awful. And predictable. 

Helluva season Tribe !

Great season. Tough loss, but the Yanks are a formidable lineup.  Tito did a helluva job.

I was not in favor of Bieber, but Civale shouldn’t have been on the roster. 

Anyway, great season. And future is so bright, I’m not sure the front office realizes the decisions they are gonna have to make with some of these guys. 

Projecting the 40-man roster:

Pitchers (16 locks): Bieber, McKenzie, Cal, Clase, EDLS, Stephen, Karinchak, Hentges, Sandlin, Espino, Williams, Plesac, Allen, Curry, Morris, Bibee

Field (19 locks): Naylor, Naylor, Noel, Gimenez, Gonzalez, Rosario, Jose, Kwan, Straw, Lavastida, Maile, Arias, Palacios, Rocchio, Valera, Brennan, Benson, DeLauter, Freeman

That leaves 5 spots for: Hedges, Civale, Morgan, Miller, Jones, Tena, Gaddis, Pilkington, McCarty.

And this is before any FA signings. Granted, lots of guys who we. Oils offload for solid prospects in return and likely fill from within (Rosario, Civale) come to mind, which would help. But I don’t remember a team that was under this much control (contractually), with this much upside due to age, and this many high ranking prospects who didn’t even get a half season with a team that almost made the ALCS.

Hard to beat the Yankees at their short porch.  Guards need to get a few bats for next year. 

Hindsight is obviously 20/20, but why not go with an "opener" yesterday?

Use Hentges, Stephan, or Karinchak for innings 1 and 2 to face Yanks top half. Then bring in Civale for 2-3 innings and go back to pen.

That to me would've made more sense. Tough to comeback when you are instantly down 4 runs after two innings.

It was all scripted well. 

Congrats to Tito for winning his third AL Manager of the Year.
