Impossible

I expect an apology from you after I'm right when the series is over.
You can't be proven right. One cannot prove that it was impossible. Dunce.

For the Indians to win this series they must do the impossible and beat the Cubs at least one game when their Ace isn't pitching.

It certainly won't be easy, but "impossible" is stretching it. They've beaten Porcello, Happ, Stroman and Estrada without Kluber on the mound.

It's a tall order to beat Hendricks at Wrigley, but this is a scrappy bunch.

Roll Tribe!!!

He would have to have the game of his life vs Hendricks. Remember with facing the Cubs you're basically facing all ACE's in the postseason. If your pitcher gives up 2 runs it's probably over. Tomlin had a 12 ERA in his last month he has recovered with a 2.5 ERA this month but still isn't close to what Hendricks has done in the postseason or regular season.

Tomlin beat Porcello, who is the likely front runner for the AL CY, and that was against a better offense than the Cubs.

Easy? No, but not impossible either.
 

Great Dayne

I was right even if you believe I was wrong

I agree that was an impressive victory. I will say he must be even better than that vs the Cubbies.

I see some one else as the front runner

Tomlin's gonna need to be on point for sure.

The counterpoint being that measured by total Runs, Colorado and StL are the only teams Hendricks faced in 2016 that had offenses as good as Cleveland and he was 1-4 against them.

Roll Tribe!
