Kenny Lofton just called out Alex Gonzalez.

JonKneeV official prediction: Cubs in 5. Or Dodgers in 288.

I love watching Kyle Schwarber swing the bat.

JKV,
If this series goes 288 games it’s really going to fuck with the offseason plans this front office has.

I’m thinking a 6-spot in the first inning would get these announcers to stop talking about the Indians stealing bases.

I would normally encourage you to run, not walk, to make such a brilliant idea happen. But I’m a little superstitious right now. So instead, I won’t tell you what to do.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
And a few CS added to that.
Also wouldn’t mind if the Cubs light up Andrew Miller early and often, because I imagine he will be the one getting the Kershaw tongue baths this series.

Fun fact about those hats with the World Series/Postseason patch on the side and that silly New Era logo on the other: the New Era patch is just glued on and easily removed.
Also holy shit, the Cubs are in the World Series.

Man, Kershaw needs a new agent if his contract obligates him to give tongue baths to other players.

I honestly hope that Pete Rose was right and Schwarber ends up with three strikeouts today.
ceruleanQuote Reply
I suppose there is some comfort in the fact that the Cubs at least put men on base against Miller.
Smokestack LightningQuote Reply
Even if the score doesn’t change, I like that the Cubs got to Miller and had some good strokes against Kluber. P/AB was good for the Cubs all season….
BVSQuote Reply
Seriously, though, what’s with Soler not pinch-hitting? If he’s on the roster, he has to be well enough to play, right? I don’t get it.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Rizzo the Rat,
Thought Soler would pinch hit for Ross…
BVSQuote Reply
BVS,
Ross hits in a key situation and immediately comes out of the game. Baffling.

Only thing I can figure is that Joe perhaps thought he’d be a better bet to have a patient AB and possibly draw the walk.
Honestly, I can’t figure it out.

dmick89Quote Reply
Smokestack Lightning,
That makes no sense. The tying run was on first base. A walk would be good, but a hit, especially for extra bases, would be much better.
Rizzo the RatQuote Reply
Fuck this Sanchez guy!
ceruleanQuote Reply
Robert Perez hit .183/.285/.294 in the regular season, which was improbably good enough to merit him getting EVERY SINGLE START in the playoffs for the Indians. He had a nice ALDS and was basically worthless in the ALCS. He comes out well enough defensively (in fact, all of his value is generated there).
There are two things you can be happy about at the plate if you’re a Perez fan. The first is his patient approach: he’s drawn a walk in 12.1% of his lifetime plate appearances. The other is his ability to hit the ball all around; he is about as diverse as you can get. That said, there’s a lot of swing and miss to his game, and if you can keep the ball down, he’ll fail to do anything productive with the ball if he even makes contact with it at all. Offensively, he’s a 3 of 10 and defensively he’s a 7 of 10. Overall, (I weight catchers at 70% offense, 30% defense), that means he’s a 4.2 of 10.

ceruleanQuote Reply
All I wanted was one of the two in Cleveland and I didn’t expect to win a game that Kluber started in Cleveland. It would have been nice with Lester pitching, but I still feel good about this series. I’m sticking with Cubs in 6. I’m also thrilled with how good Schwarber’s eye at the plate was. Like the Cubs, I also think Schwarber has a decent chance of ending up the best offensive player on this team in a year or two. I was also impressed with how well the Cubs did against Miller. They didn’t score, but they made him work. Can’t imagine he’s good for anything over an inning tomorrow and even that might be questionable.
