Maybe it's just because it was Bieber starting and he was on today, but I think it was encouraging that Francona just kept it to him and Clase. Seems that in the playoffs, so many managers outsmart themselves by diving too deeply into analytics and match-ups and third time through the line-up and stuff like that and wind up losing games because they take the starter out earlier than they would in the regular season and their bullpen arms can't handle the remaining innings.

Yep, if a guy is rolling, let him keep rolling. 

Awesome.

Got hairy for a second. Fucking Jose Siri.

Can you imagine the shit Siri must take from the fans? 😆

He will pull McKenzie and Cal way quicker than Bieber. Bieber gets the Kluber leash.

If you look in the dictionary you just saw the words "Mike Hargrove" next to your definition.

C'mon boys, sweep the leg !!!

I’ll probably regret this, but Tampa should lose for having a loser trainer wearing a mask outside. FFS

Bases loaded no outs…. Ugh

It’s the longest playoff game in history with no score so far.

Awesome walk off HR !!!

Not time, innings at 0-0.

Hammy’s call was an all timer.

We got an, “a swing and a drive!”, a “hello New York!” And “a mob scene at home plate!”

Great win!

I have watched Hammy’s call of Oscar pimping that home run at least 20 times. Awesome. 

GO TRIBE !!!!

I am not sure I'm gonna make it noon before the first sip of alcohol is consumed. 

1st inning, Kwan draws a walk, Rosario k's, Jose hits a homer ..................and that's how it ends, 2-0, Tribe.     :)

Somehow Kwan hit a homer. But shiiiit left some runs out there. Good thing is Cole is already at 60 pitches in the 3rd

Oscar has had a bad game, and at this moment probably the reason we lose tonight. Fitting after his HR to end the TB series lol

Ouch Rizzo

Gross. 

I oddly feel better about the series after tonight. Win the Bieber start and we are right where you’d like to be.
