I'm glad they are using Miller tonight. No matter what happens in game 1, we'll be ready tomorrow.

Bauer is not the pitcher Kluber is.

When a guy pitches like that you just have to hand it to him and move on. Lester has battled all night but got rattled by baserunners and an inconsistent zone early. It happens. This is hard game to be angry about and it's not like they still don't have a shot.
Not angry..
Figured Kluber would be tough
Was
Hoping Lester would match him and maybe they would grab an early 1 zip lead and Lester made it hold up ..

3 runs can be had, just need to string a couple hits together..

Far as series goes, I have confidence our guys will hit the rest of the Indians rotation..
Need Arrieta and Lackey to pitch a little better then they have though..

I just want to take one in Cleveland and sweep in Chi-Town. I would really like to see them win the whole thing at home.

There is no statistical evidence that baserunners rattle Lester. He had something like a 2.95 ERA in games with multiple stolen bases. His command wasn't great and he was getting squeezed early. It happens.

Yeah, I don't think he cares. Ump got into his head more than the baserunners.

I'm still amazed by Scharber's double. That bodes well going forward no matter how tonight ends up.

Cubs have actually made solid contact against Kluber. K zone early kinda fucked em up.

I think Jake is solid through 5. The thing that worries me about him is once his pitch count gets up and he starts walking people. Do you think he got overpitched in that stretch of dominance he had?

Make him actually throw it on the zone before you call it a strike cocksucker
