So true....baseball is a crazy, amazing game. Remember our concerns about Naquin's defense early in the year? ...and yet here he is starting what was arguably the best and most critical defensive play of the game. Remember our concerns about Perez when Gomes went down... the front office was ready to mortgage the farm for Lucroy....and yet the guy with the sub Mendoza line average, turns out to be an offensive hero in his first post season game.

Question.... as I haven't really looked at the roster....tell me Guyer is on it. Tell me they didn't leave him off. Two critical situations occurred where the Tribe could have broken that game open last night and failed....were normally spots where the lefty killing Guyer would have batted. If he is not on the roster, that might be the biggest mistake of the series.

So he'll probably go 8 innings giving up about 2 hits I'd expect.
Fully expect this to happen.

Guyer is on the roster. I was really surprised Tito went with chisenhall with bases loaded instead of guyer, but oh well.

^^^whew...I have no idea why he left Chisenhall bat against Pomerantz.
One hit would have broken that game open and probably would have saved the bull pen....I don't think I ever want to see that again!

Guyer is supposed to be starting today with a lefty starter. Was wondering about pinch hitting too.

If there is a save situation I wouldn't be surprised to see otero get the call with Allen and miller throwing so many pitches last night. I love that Tito went all out last night to get that first win. Especially with kluber going today.

A plus to using them and succeeding is they'd have the playoff experience under the belt so to speak.

Going to be a long and grinding series. Need 3-4 guys in the pen to have a good series.

Live action I thought it was a bad call and just another example of Clev sports teams getting all the calls and breaks, but on the replay it was clear he went. Good win for the tribe

Pretty much this. Just a dumb fuck redneck with a shitty wife, so his happiness is dependent on Cleveland teams not winning.

Cool fact: Dolan family and #Indians paid to bring in EVERY scout & player development employee affiliated with the club tonight.

That's probably bc tickets to the ALDS are cheaper than the ALCS or World Series. Cheap fucking owner.
