The Indians are NOT winning the World Series this year. This series is ours. 21 pitches for Miller that inning. We will get him this series.

But that Russell at-bat was awful. I don't know the f he can hit huge home runs one day and look like a little leaguer the next.

Russell back to garbage one of the worst at bats I have ever seen. Ross did all he could, not sure why he was even up but he had the walk just stand there like you did to the perfect strike one pitch earlier.

Frustrating game, back to staring at strikes and swinging at balls. Just totally owned.

Dam. Bases loaded. No outs. And you can't bring one guy home. Just not their night.

That first pitch to him was a ball. Messed with his head. Same pitch that was called a ball against Ross

Think Soler and Montero is all that left on bench
Guess Maddon needed to save them for later match ups
For when they pull this game out in the 9th..?

Sigh, that last inning was depressing. They're still winning this whole thing though. Go Cubs!

We have a lot of good arms in the pen, and can go R-L a lot.

But I still think Maddon changed his entire approcah ince the postseason started. Every pitcher gets only a guy from the appropriate side of the plate, and then Chapman has to go two innings.

Strop was doing very well. Why take him out?

No, I'm not. I set a 5PM appointment thinking I'd be done in time. Now I'll miss some innings.

We got a hit and a walk off miller. Didn't lead to runs, but it's a far cry from what others have done. Hardly invincible.

BTW, nobody but schwarber gets that walk.
