Game Thread: 9/12/2017: Tito's Indians keep rolling, Dodgers lose 11th in a row, Ellsbury sets Interference mark

Gtfo with the Reds

Yeah I couldn't help but laugh at that.

Indians starting pitchers since 8/3/17:

39 GS ~ 6.33 IP/GS ~ 10.2 K/9 ~ 5.17 K/BB ~ 1.024 WHIP ~ 2.30 ERA

A rotation doing that. Fucking sick.

Also, since the ASB, their bullpen ERA ranks 1st in MLB and they've score more runs than any other team.

<quietly prays>
Please, dear, sweet baby Jesus, don't let them rip my heart out with an ALDS playoff exit. . .

World Series or Bust at this point right?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

By my math, the odds of coming out of those 6 games without a loss is about 12.1%

Well of course if you're looking at it like that, but on an individual game by game basis, the odds are stacked in the Indians favor.

Also, Chris Sale is a skinny, worthless fag.

I am at this point thinking that the Indians are the best team in the AL, so missing the WS would be a disappointment to me.

That said, fucking anything and everything can and will happen in the playoffs.

is that the guy from highway to heaven?

dunno - but thought it was appropriate

It would be tough for the worst teams in baseball to pull off what they have

The New York Mets say "hold my beer..."

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yeah I couldn't help but laugh at that.

Sox play a bunch of teams that have or will mostly mail it in
Than you get the Astros series that may or may not mean much to them

Yanks playing the Royals and Twins could sting

Think the Sox hold on

I will say is I think the division will still be up for grabs entering the final weekend of the year.

I remember it was like that back in 2005 and the final series was a three-game set at Fenway. I was still a Red Sox fan at that point and went to the final game of the season. It turned out that it didn't come down to the last game (I think Red Sox clinched a game or two before), but that was a fun fucking game to be at. I had a blast.

Fuck that Fuck you Fuck the Indians

The Yankees are coming

I picked against the Brewers in my pickems yesterday...those guys have burned me SO many times this year in either pickems or v-bets. Really hard team to figure out.

I'm still hoping they're one of the playoff teams, but not sure how far they could go.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Yeah I wish they had the Cubs/Cards end of the season schedule where they play 7X over the last 2+ weeks

That whole division is crazy.

Games left:

Cubs vs Cards: 7 games
Cards vs Brewers: 3 games
Brewers vs Cubs: 3 games

Make it or break it time.

Not a good start for the Brewers by losing at home to the Pirates last night

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fuck that Fuck you Fuck the Indians

The Yankees are coming

The absolute sweetest championship imaginable for me would be one in which the Indians eliminated both the Red Sox and Yankees from the postseason.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

I hate you.

Oh, you...bring it on in here:

With the current state of the Dodgers, I'm starting to believe a WS rematch is gonna happen

 

[Used 2 B Hu]

Seriously, Slink...It's gotta be your time. The Cavs already broke the seal on the whole Cleveland championships drought, you came ever-so-close last year but were trumped by an even longer-suffering fanbase, right now you're looking like the class of the entire League, not just the AL.

I will refrain from making any such statements as "I support a Tribe World Series title!" because that wouldn't work out well. I have this thing...it's like the opposite of the Midas Touch
