And Gonzalez swings at ball 4 that was shoulder high but he was so relaxed up there. Looked like h was at resting heart rate with bases loaded.

Stros are so damn calm.

This is the last time you'll see Miller pitching for the Tribe--he only gave us one awesome post-season, but for that we should be thankful ( I guess-lol)

C'mon, get Cody the fuck out before this turns into a 5 run game.

Ok...but this was announced like 20 days ago lol. Unless he changes his mind tomorrow, Clevinger will pitch. They’ve literally been lining this up for the last 3 weeks of the year by skipping starts etc.

My bad on this. I thought Bauer only pitched Friday. Didn't realize he went Saturday too. Either way he was trash today. Nice way to end the season...getting boat raced at home. Smdh

Maybe the last time we see Cody Allen and Brantley too.

Yep because unless they make some big moves this offseason their window has slammed shut. They will continue to win the division but they're not a serious threat to anyone in the AL, sadly.

Cody Allen's ERA for the series was 54.00. 

BRF tip of the hat to the Astros. They are legit.

Formula.................Donaldson to 3rd, JRam to 2nd, Kipnis to Center, G Allen to the bench.

Good to see EE chip in with a nice solid single this postseason. 1 for 10 (.100 average) doesn't  sound like much, but compared to last year's 0 for 7, it is an improvement. 

Two year average is .058.

But, but, but 30 Homers, 100  ribbies.

Raise your hand if you like to sniff and lick (your bat).

This was the story of the whole team, besides Lindor, this post season....and even he wasn't stellar. They all gagged but also have to give credit to Houston's pitching staff. They aren't too shabby. Probably got eliminated by this year's WS champ.

I'm concentrating on Edwin because as far as I know he's the only one who posts on Ohio Chatter.

Hopefully the Astros eliminate the Red Sox/Yankees and ESPN will get upset.

No way can you say they’re better than Boston. Reality is the Indians have became what the Tigers were; great lineup, decent starting pitching, yet the bullpen sucks. They beat up all year on a terrible division but were not ready at all for the big dogs of the American League and it showed as Houston easily won three games. 

A few years ago when you guys won the pennant that bullpen was awesome and the lineup was so versatile. You simply cannot have real weaknesses anymore and compete for a title, the current model many franchises have adopted means that every playoff contender just absorbs any top talent from the team out of it by the Trade Deadline. It’s just absurd how loaded the other three AL teams are, they all won 100 games and did it in divisions where two other teams won at least 90 games. Cleveland and the rest of the division are far off the other two at the moment and this postseason showed it

You can easily say they are better than Boston. Boston doesn’t have a bullpen. I’d favor the Yankees over them.

Interesting that Chief Wahoo made his last appearance on Columbus Day.  Worst Columbus day for the Indians since 1492.
