So we can't buy gear unless they win it right?
That's my theory on it. They win it, I am shelling out fat stacks for postseason gear
There will be a World Series game that involves the Cubs and a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time in our lives (unless you are an old timer, who remembers the 1945 series.
Never thought I would get to say that.
Go Cubs Go!!!
So besides Miller, what else can we expect from the Indians?
- A trio of veteran power bats (Napoli , Kipnis and Santana)
- A trio of young stars who are pretty underrated and get on base often (Lindor , Ramirez and Naquin)
- A strong veteran bullpen
- Rotation that is not as good as Cubs with only Kluber ace quality but Salazar , Tomlin and Bauer have had there moments. Missing Carrasco hurts them
Indians are just a solid blend of youth/vets that as a team plays well in all facets of game. They are essentially IMO an upgraded version of what Twins used to be
Francona is a pretty good manager as well with experience in big games
Probably 6
I think guys like Salazar/Bauer can come thru with strong game. They just lack consistency but if they are on game both are capable of giving 6 strong innings which will allow Francona to go to pen only when he has to
Long break for Cleveland while our bats are hot.
