Lol. What does that mean? They're still losing.
It means that we probably wouldn't be losing if not for those two fucking up. Be at least a tie game.

Total failure .. No
This is basically year 2 of a mostly young team..
Year 1, they reached NLCS
Year 2 , they reached the WS


Big disappointment.. Yes
Their getting decent pitching, they get a split in Cleveland
But
The offense has decided to shit ice cubes and go cold again in 12 innings at home..

What we thought would be a strength, is a weakness so far

You think things might have been different without that Special person all star rule keeping us from homefield? Like if it was just based on record and we could have started in Wrigley first. I think that would have been huge because of how electrified the whole city of Cleveland was in game one.

Yeah they're done. What a wasted opportunity. Zobrist has been great though. Sucks

This ump tonight should have been behind the plate since game 1/whole series.

In fact what the **** is with changing the plate ump every game (terrible idea)...put a guy back there for the whole series and the hitters will see a consistently called game.

MLB assigned the 85 year old ump that called game 1 to NY for video replay review.

What do you guys think is ultimately the "difference"? Is it Cleveland's pitching? Is it our approach at the plate? Is it our youth and inexperience? Is it Cleveland's aggression on the bases and at the plate? Is it Francona's management or Maddon's lack thereof? Would anyone venture to put their finger on it?

Cleveland's pitching combined with the cubs swinging out of the zone. That and the fact that our pitchers can't put their team away with two outs.
