For those who missed the clown press conference, check out his lame excuses. Let's not forget that his catcher Gary Sanchez told him to challenge immediately.

Girardi will be fired

Smart man. Those players must be disgusted

Go Tribe!

Girardi will be fired

Remember last year (year before?) when Showalter never got Britton into an extra inning playoff game he eventually lost? He still has his job. And he never won a ring for his team.

Exactly, not easy to say Girardi's replacement would be any better

You can be displeased with the manager as a player, but to like an instagram post causing drama in the middle of a series is idiotic.

Unprofessional. Terrible timing. Chapman should be shipped out along with Girardi. I wouldn't want that cancer on my team.

Wonder why the Cubs weren't interested in bringing him back
Chapman: Want 6 years; Cubs are not interested

Chapman hasn't been that good this year anyway.

I'll take a handful of BP guys over him but I will say having your team needing a run against that guy late in a game is so nerve-racking. If he is on with his stuff he is near impossible to hit like Miller

he's still really good, but he isn't the shutdown guy he was even a year ago (even with last year's shitty postseason). His strikeout rate has been on the decline from 17.7 in 2014 to 12.3 in 2017 (still great, but it's a pretty big dropoff). He's tough to hit, but he has his command issues.

GO TRIBE!! Lets be the first ones to move on!

Tanaka starts off on fire.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Tanaka had some nasty stuff in the 1st

 

[Shanemansj13]

Carrasco looked just as good. We might be in for a low scoring affair here

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Huzzah! Let’s get this shit rolling!

Tanaka starts off on fire.

He has pitched like an ACE at home this year. for quite a while. Looks like he should be in AAA away from home

 

[bksballer89]

5-4-3 to end the inning

Neither pitcher should even throw a strike

These hitters all look lost

They have good stuff
