ALDS: Tribe vs. Astros

This should help.  Would also be nice if JRam was hitting better.  

Maybe Donaldson will come through and take some pressure off Ram.

Hasn't happened yet, and I wouldn't hold my breath--pitchers have found the hole in his swing (low inside) and his BA has been steadily declining since mid August...I think Donaldson will come through okay, but it won't help J-Ram---what we have to hope for is Frankie, EE and Dr Smooth to do their thing, and do it consistently throughout the playoffs.

Playoffs Baby!! I'm hyped. Win one for Chief Wahoo. Believeland.Klubot. WE ARE ALL KIPNISES.

GO TRIBE!!

Life long Tribe fan here....but not a believer in this team, this year.

Astros in 4.

I'm not a fan of the game 1 start time...I'll have to find a way to sneak a way to watch or follow along. 

I don't have a great feeling for this series, but in Tito I trust. 

Roster finally finalized with Davis over Gonzalez.

Position:

• Alonso
• Encarnacion
• Kipnis
• Brantley
• Ramirez
• Lindor
• Donaldson
• Cabrera
• Gomes

Starters:

• Kluber

• Bieber/Bauer

Bullpen:

• Allen
• Miller
• Hand

• Otero
• Perez

Bench:

• Guyer
• Allen
• Davis
• Yandy
• Perez

^^^I like it, especially keeping Greg Allen

Same. I think I would’ve gone Ramirez over Cimber because of the strikeout ability. But neither had a strong case lol.

I like it, too. 

Especially, I like having both Davis and Allen. 

I'm hoping we don't have to use Otero and/or Cimber in clutch situations. 

Go Tribe. 

I do think whoever wins this series wins the WS. 

I like the roster. Am I the only one who thinks the Ramirez/Cimber decision came down to a heads or tails coin flip.

Monday 1:30, looks like no work for me that day

The fact that all of these games are afternoon games is a fucking joke. 

I'll miss Monday's game as I'll be at a conference all day. I'll miss the first few innings on the others. Fucking Yanks and Red Sox. 

I have tickets for Monday so I'm not very excited about the start time, either. 

0-0 top of 4th--both pitchers throwing no-no's

damn, I was hoping to reverse jinx in favor of the Tribe---someone go deep on Kluber?

Kluber getting touched up second time through the lineup...2-0 Astro's...can pretty much write this game off with Verlander throwing like he is today...damn

edit: 4-0
