Man, not playing Schwarber in Chicago is gonna be tough

 

If he gets cleared on the follow up Doc visit he's in LF guaranteed.

 

That may be the case for Kluber, but then that means you'd also have to start Bauer on short rest as well as Tomlin. Not sure those guy can handle it like Kluber. Bauer already struggled enough tonight.

Indians have been winning with 'bullpen games' all season long, so it's not new to them. I don't think it's unrealistic to ask Merritt and/or Salazar to go out there and each pitch 2 to 3 innings in Game 4 then turn it over to bullpen.

 

Fowler. Woof.

 

Also, Kluber did lose the game he pitched on short rest this post-season. And I believe it was the first time he did it all year?

 

He did lose, but the Indians also only had 2 hits that game. He was off that entire series, even in Game 1 vs Toronto, he struggled. Blue Jays had two runners on in each of the first 4 innings. Blue Jays were a tough matchup for him.

 

Zobs/Schwarbs and Fowler/Baez are trending in polar opposite directions

 

Indians have pretty much handed this game to the Cubs. EIGHT walks, two official errors and two other defensive mistakes in right field that directly led to runs.

 

I mean that and your offense having 2 hits haha.

 

If I never heard Buck say "and we welcome you into the broadcast booth" again, I'd be in heaven

 

If I never hear Joe Buck again I'd be in heaven.

 

That's more like it. Fun game all around.

 

Muted the game and listened to power trip instead.

 

Normally I'm a raging psycho during Cleveland sports games, but I was oddly calm about last night. Our offense was bad but there's nothing the Cubs did last night where I can say they found something that is key to turning around the series. Truthfully, and I wrote this last night, Indians really beat themselves with 8 walks, two errors and 2 defensive misplays (that were not errors). If Lonnie Chisenhall throws it to cutoff man in first inning who gets Bryant at home, it could have changed course of entire game/series.

Also Bauer was pretty bad, but that was to be expected considering he really hasn't pitched since October 6. I know he started in TOR series, but he lasted 4 batters, so I'm not really counting that. Tomlin has been a much better pitcher than Bauer this year anyway (not sure why Tomlin didn't start Game 2. Probably because Bauer is even more of a headcase on the road and they don't want him swinging with a bad finger).

Think this is going to go 6 or 7 games.

 

Thing I hate most about sports internet. Everyone complaining about national announcers.

 

The Indians putting Carlos Santana in Left Field for the first time in his career in a World Series games scares me. Especially after their defense cost them several runs last night.

 

A World Series In Wrigleyville: Where To Watch

Apparently one fan has filed a complaint to the Justice Department accusing the Clark street bars of price collusion. $200+ just to get in those shitholes?!?!

 

Yeah, that'll never be worth it.

I watch nearly every game either alone in my room or with my girlfriend at her place. I can't imagine watching the games anywhere else (aside actually at Wrigley), especially for such exorbitant prices.

 

Does anyone here watch games in the At Bat app on an iPad Pro? If so, how is the experience?

 

probably doesn't help you, but i watch all the time on my galaxy s10 tablet and it's great.

 

I watch on my old iPad 4 and I enjoy it. I also watch game recaps in the mornings on it.

 

I have watched a bit and at least for me the video is usually choppy. I usually stick to the radio, but that's mostly because I usually did this at work when I couldn't be watching for majority of the time anyway

Edit: didn't see you were asking about iPad Pro, I'm on my iPhone 6

 

Interesting. My iPhone 6+ seems to handle streaming games fine as long as I'm on a good internet connection.

Thanks @ChiliTacos @Brenden!!

 

Wrigleyville is hell
