I am not surprised.

He is good.

So are the Tribe.

Go Tribe.

Never give up.

On the Cubs side it's obviously a must win and everyone is available...but also Maddon pushed Arrieta to 119 pitches on April 21st so he'll ride him if game stays close.

If Cubs should get a huge lead in the next few innings I'd pull him and see if he could be somewhat available for game 7 (1 batter-30 pitches)

Tomlin sucks, this is on Francona. He has an all star pitcher riding the fucking pine.

Ok, get him out. Hanging every curve and really not fooling anyone. Gotta change the feel

Tomlin has pitched 45 some pitches and only has 1 swing and miss. That's not good. Don't understand why his 0-2 curves aren't in the dirt. They've been swinging at that all series.

Tomlin out after 3 and 1/3. Holy shit

Yeah, missing off the plate has been one of THE biggest factors in this series.

What the location fuck?

Cleveland pitchers have given more hittable pitches in 3 innings than they did in game 1-5

At least I get to go to bed early. Hopefully tomorrow's choke job ends this early too.

Damn it. Hope Kluber has his "A" game tomorrow night.

Well Chicago came to play today. Guess my Cleveland in 6 prediction won't come true

Sleeper didn't start paying attention to the Tribe until the ALCS. No shocker he doesn't know wtf he is talking about again.

If this holds, Corey Kluber will join Curt Schilling and Jack Morris as only pitchers to start Games 1-4-7 in #WorldSeries* since ’87. @MLB

Not ideal. Fuck today

Well looks like the 1% happened and my prediction will be wrong.

It happens. I'm satisfied with being correct 90% of the time instead of 91% percent of the time before tonight.

Indians in 7.

This.

I'm sure the odds are working against Kluber, but he has done nothing to make me doubt him so far. Indians gotta get the damn bats out too though. Can't just rely on him to shut out this Cubs lineup that has now gotten hot.
