Bauer isn't going to last long in this game. Fifty one pitches already.

if he can somehow get through 5 with 1 run Cleveland will be happy

That would be excellent. Probably the best case scenario for him at this point.

Not that I ever said Molina hasn't used PEDs which is exactly what makes your bullshit strawman but Yadier has a steady progression of improvement. Not a jump from worst to first.

Now prove your claim or shut the fuck up.
Steady progression. That's funny shit.

First 2,979 PA's he carried a .268/.327/.361/.688 slash line with an 82 OPS+.

Then, at age 28 -- coincidentally the same age Arrieta blew up -- he puts up .313/.361/.481/.842/ with a 130 OPS+ in the following three years.

His OPS+ in the four years preceding his break out were 85, 96, 100, 84. That's not steady progression. That's a mediocre hitter that had a couple average seasons.

Add the roid rage episodes like when he spit on an umpire and it's pretty clear to anyone that isn't a Cardinals fanboy that he was juiced to the gills.

Now, smile like a donut, fanboy.
PEDS? i mean - of course certian cardinals cheated with PED's- just like on other teams--- but didnt the Cardinals acutally HACK the Astros player scouting database and deliberately cheat their balls off? yikes.

MORe than happy.

you need to score at least 1 run to win- obviously. If they cant do that to tie it up- then its not like they would win anyway. Wahtever happens happens- this INdians team has been hte under dog and is undermanned in every single series- the only thing that is carrying them is the will to win- lets hope that is good enough.

Are you voting for Trump? Typical overblown redirect.

Pretty sad effort by Bauer. But we knew he was a bad matchup against the Cubs.

Same with Tomlin.

Francona is gonna need some serious voodoo to get through this series.

That last Baez at bat was the worst I've ever see. From him, -and that's saying something. He was horrid last year.

The freak! I have a feeling he's going to have a huge series. At least one multi Homer game.

Considering he was a couple feet from a homer on his second AB vs the best pitcher in the AL at Clev stadium and the fact that he will be facing some lesser pitchers at Wrigley I'd say he has a chance.
