Don't get too cocky ... the last Indians' World Series win was 1948.

Don't get too cocky ... the last Indians' World Series win was 1948.

The last time the Tigers finished in the basement was 2015.

True, then again the Tigers' last WS win was 1984. That's not exactly anything to brag about.

This season ain't over yet .... Thank God for the Twins!!!!

Anyone still alive from the 1948 Cleveland Indians team?

 

[Erie Warrior]

Probably not many. That WWII generation has been dropping like flies over the last 20 years.

LOL, Sanchez gives up 2 ER in 2 IP, but backs into a win. He is toast.

I'm gonna protest calling them the WWII Generation, they are and always will be the GREATEST GENERATION

To answer your question, it looks like only 1B Eddie Robinson is sill alive from the '48 team. He is 95 years old.

You Indians fans are up and causing trouble too early!!! Don't pick on Doug.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Just realized - it's a 4-game series. In the event of a tie, you want to pick a tiebreaker, like total runs scored or SBs? Or should we just go our separate ways?

Most players HBP (team pitching gets the adv), followed by total runs and stolen bases.

Have a feeling Cleveland will win today (because Stroman has turned into hot garbage) but the Jays will get the last two. Get wild, Marcus!

Iffy is still here

 

[dougplayer]

So...nuttin since 1948??? Not even play offs
Tigers from 2006 till this day. Rule the central.
All those ALCS. and WS.
Indians not so much

Fuck that. The Indians don't hit batters. Fewest HBPs in the AL, 44% less than league average. I say we go with total runs, or just walk away from a tie.

Anything can happen, and obviously the Indians have to lose some day, but I don't think any of the pitching matchups in this series favor the Blue Jays.

Game 3 - Trevor Bauer vs Marco Estrada
TB 2016 ERA as starter - 2.96
ME 2016 ERA as starter - 2.81

TB last 4 starts - 7.5 IP/GS - 1.80 ERA
ME last 4 starts - 6.2 IP/GS - 4.01 ERA

Game 4 - Corey Kluber vs JA Happ
CK 2016 ERA - 3.50
JH 2016 ERA - 3.70

CK last 4 starts - 7.8 IP/GS - 2.61 ERA
JH last 4 starts - 6.0 IP/ GS - 4.13 ERA

Bullpens
CLE - 3.24 ERA
TOR - 4.38 ERA

LOL at ruling the central from the basement.

Marco Estrada at home - 2.12 ERA, .138 BA

Also, JA Happ's last start was in Denver. Remove that from the equation and the remaining 3 games was 6.3 IP/GS, 2.84.

But yeah, fucking bullpen. At least Cecil's back and had a good cameo last night but otherwise it's generally a nightmare.

Marco Estrada's last two games at home - 4.50 ERA
