WS Game 7: A Curse Dies and a Curse Continues

[Mugsy's Jock]

No, he didn't delay. DeJesus said so.

I think he delayed -- not because he was looking at the runner or having a brain fart, but because he wasn't in good position to throw.

 

[ifmanis5]

Playoff Tito's slow hook.

 

[DanoooME]

Wow, Playoff Farrell is blowing this one.

 

[speedracer]

RIP Playoff Tito

 

[troparra]

Indians are in it deep now. I won't say what "it" is.

 

[loshjott]

They are who we thought they were.

 

[staz]

Why they insist on throwing strikes to Baez is beyond me,

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Davis really didn't have a good route on that one either. Jesus Tito, what happened to you?

 

[glasspusher]

Who was that in Baez' uniform?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Terry fucked up a bit tonight.

 

[LogansDad]

Tito??!!

 

[Remagellan]

That run is on Tito. Never should have sent Kluber back out there.

 

[ngruz25]

It's nuts how many Cubs fans are at this game.

 

[scotian1]

Well Francona you have waited too long tonight.

 

[johnmd20]

I think he delayed -- to because he was looking at the runner or having a brain fart, but because he wasn't in good position to throw.

He definitely delayed. There is literally no doubt about it.

 

[CTSOX]

Francoma

 

[rajendra82]

Francoma

 

[Leather]

Ok.

The Indians are in deep shit.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Yeah, Francona fucked up.

earned this loss.

 

[redsoxcentury]

Kluber had nothing tonite. Too bad

 

[tbrep]

Inexcusable to send Kluber back out there again.

 

[axx]

Tito may have gone to the well one too many times

 

[rembrat]

Stealing outs is fine over 162 but not in Game 7.

 

[pk1627]

Francona - I adore you but that was idiotic

 

[scottyno]

All managers suck, no way Kluber ever should have started this inning

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Francona hasn't had a good series, if you look at it objectively.

 

[hittery]

Ugh. This is depressing. Can Cleveland turn it around?

 

[The Big Red Kahuna]

Just saying... If Cubs were to lose a game 7 after being down 3-1 in series, blowing a big lead would be the Cubs way to do it.

 

[boxosII]

Huh? Bradley's throws have been way offline lately.

not in the last month

 

[LogansDad]

All I really wanted was a good game

 

[staz]

OH MY GOD THE CARS ARE COMING OUT OF THE GROUND!

 

[Beomoose]

Can't believe Baez actually made a positive contribution after the series he's had

 

[HriniakPosterChild]

If the Cubs had this lead against the 199x Yankees, I'd figure the lead wasn't safe. Too many outs left. I dunno about 2016 Indians though.

 

[johnmd20]

Sending Kluber out there was a really odd decision by Tito. Tito feeling the pressure, making poor choices.

 

[bosockboy]

Had 15 outs to play with on a rested pen, that is mind boggling.

 

[Harry Hooper]

That run is on Tito. Never should have sent Kluber back out there.

Thought he'd be gone, yet Tito sent him back to the mound. Weird.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Seriously, after the ball that hit the wall last inning, coupled with all the other signs that Kluber didn't have it tonight - the lack of Ks, the hard contact before - it was clear he was cooked. Tito, who deservedly gets lots of love here, really fucked this up. Its almost gross mismanagement on the scale of other horrific playoff management.

 

[Skip]

Criminal throwing a strike against Baez there. He'll swing at literally anything.

 

[The_Powa_of_Seiji_Ozawa]

Grady, is that you?

 

[scotian1]

Huh? Bradley's throws have been way offline lately.

I was referring to the route he took to the ball that landed at the bottom of the fence and should have been caught.

 

[johnmd20]

Cubs just hitting everything.

 

[axx]

How many outs do you try to get out of Chapman?

 

[shawnrbu]

Tie goes to the runner.

 

[rembrat]

How many outs do you try to get out of Chapman?

He can go to Lester for 2 innings. 1 from Lackey and co and Chapman gets his 9th. Really hard to fuck this up.

 

[johnmd20]

He's out. It's close but come on. He's out.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Juuust out, but out.

 

[canderson]

FOX has had tremendous camera work this series.

 

[aksoxfan]

I was referring to the route he took to the ball that landed at the bottom of the fence and should have been caught.

I think it would have been an exceptional catch by any measure.

 

[JimD]

How many outs do you try to get out of Chapman?

May not need Chapman the way this game is going.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Can't believe Baez actually made a positive contribution after the series he's had

That's him. Swings for the fences all the time and occasionally runs into one. That's why throwing him strikes is stupid
