Hopefully, they can manufacture a few runs against Kershaw and not focus on knocking the cover off the ball.
That Indians bullpen is special. Miller is so unselfish to have no problem coming in at any time, very rare in today's game. Allen is a lock down closer, and Shaw is throw 96mph cutters. Throw in Francona managing to perfection, Indians will be a tough out in a 7 game series. Did I mention that Kluber is a bonafide ace?
Cubs possess some of the best young players baseball has ever seen. Bryant will prolly win the MVP, Rizzo will finish Top 3, Addison Russell is an all star SS, Javy Baez is highlight reel waiting to happen. Did I mention all of these are 27 and younger? Mix in the veterans Ben Zobrist, Dexter Fowler, Jason Heyward, Jon Lester, and the back bone of the team David Ross and it explains why the Cubs won 103 games in regular season. Joe Maddon is also one of the most likable guys in baseball, and is very forward thinking.
If these two teams make it to World Series, what a series it will be.
Cubs win
WOW!
Agh!!!
Cubs need to win tonite. A split is all they could have really expected from the opening two games in Cleveland.
That Kluber guy is wicked! I love his two-finger back-up fastball. Wow! Tough pitch.
Tribe was better on the bump -
There is a reason they play 7 games
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Yep, not much chance Kluber is that sharp again either. Cubs just need to keep the last series in mind. Getting shut out doesn't mean it's over.
Told ya so
