You pretty much give yourself an out on every single prediction you make and you paint yourself as a hero for making "bold" predictions. Anyone who has seen your posts knows it is 100% predictable at this point. And I'm the troll? LOL

Anyway, I'm not even trying to get into your failed predictions. More pissed about the tribe.
Or in reality I make 'bold' predictions and more often than not they come out correct; in which I get no credit.

Cue the trolls though when I'm occasionally wrong.

I don't L to see us get to 7-3 or 4 and force them to use Chapman.

Ideally work him for 20+ pitches, but very least 3 guys get to see him again.

I bitched about Joe West during game 1 as he was in line to do game 6 behind plate, but quite honestly I think he's only missed 3 pitches all night and his zone is more consistent with what I watched all season long.

Yea he hasn't looked bad to me at all. May have squeezed Arrieta a bit.

Squeezed him on a potential strike 3 in the first and on a low strike but the stats clearly say that no umpire calls fewer low strikes than Joe. Gave Arrieta first pitch strike to Naquin with bases loaded

I see titos thinking though. Salazar's pitch count is at 30 pitches. If he gets in trouble early you are burning through the bullpen pretty quick. I get it but I would have rolled the dice

McCallister fortunate. Just pumping fastballs in the zone hard as he can throw. Russell was on him. Pulled a shot to Ramirez. Had to have been 105 mph exit velocity

Here's what tito should have been thinking:

Hmm Bauer sucks fucking ass.

I have a FUCKING ALL STAR STUD Pitcher riding the pine with a month off.

It's the world fucking series.

Naquin sucks at batting and sucks at fielding.

Raja Davis is servicable in the field, Naquin isn't.

Coco Crisp is a raking in the post season and can play the field.

Santana is a liability in the field and is a liability at the plate.

Pretty simple.

It's the world series. He's lost faith in his bullpen. He has more faith in the Tribe hitters than I do. Cubs are going to win the whole damn thing.
