The Indians are a total fluke

[kid31]

Since this isn't just Indians fans here, a lot of the guys here have watched the game a long time.

The Indians whole run is pretty flukey. They play the game right and all but in terms of talent; this is total bullshit for them to run through the playoffs like this. Someone just tell me they feel the same way.

Clearly you haven't been watching a long time. I notice your demeaning comments on here. They have lost two games the whole play offs and you think it's a fluke.

Indians have been loose and nothing seems to bother them what so ever . Tito has really done a fantastic job here with the tools he has. A team full of Dustin Pedroia's .
They are flying under the radar but it seems every day there a great value bet road or home and most of the money is on the fucking cubbies.

 

[FairWarning]

I look at the Indians and the only one who would make the Cubs lineup is Lindor. Goes to show if you have elite pitching, you can go a long way. They remind me of the Dodgers when they beat Oakland around 1990.

Yea it's a total fluke they were in the Central lead ALL YEAR after the AS break. With Detroit and the defending World Series Champions in the same Division. You're right, it's a total fluke they have only lost 2 playoff games! Playing teams like Boston and Toronto and the Cubs, all power hitting teams that score many many runs. It IS all just a fluke! They may not huge name players, but last time I checked teams with a good manager and players that work together and buy into the plan/goal tend to do pretty well. This series is not over by any means. It will be a long one that will make the managers think and make the right calls and that is the team that will win. Cleveland hadn't won a Championship in decades and now have a chance to win 2 in the same year. You must live in Southern Ohio, where all the dipshits live. Only dipshits from Ohio and Cub fans wouldn't be rooting for an Ohio team. You are a disgrace to Ohio, why don't you move to Florida and choke on Jameis' dick!!!

Indians have been playing some great baseball. Crazy to think that Tomlin would be pitching well but he did just that. He did well against the Jay's and now the Cubs. Can't be a fluke. Tomlin who is a flyball pitcher, which I thought would work against him with the Cubs lineup and the wind had only a few flyballs to the outfield. He pitched great. I'm putting my money on Cleveland tonight. It's no fluke. I think that Cleveland would have had more runs if it wasn't for the two double plays.

This must be the old reverse psychology, say you're team is going to lose in the first inning kind of comment, right? Because Cleveland looks damn good and is playing as loose as ever. Look at their dugout, or when they just get a single...they're just having fun. And I couldn't be happier! #anyonebutthecubs

You are a smart guy Captn !

 

[boss415]

Hey kid how did the Indians look tonight ?

 

[captn_jay]

You are a smart guy Captn !

Thanks but no... I should have been on Cleveland after they ran over Boston. But, after the Jay's ran over Texas I couldn't bail on my team and played with my heart. I stuck with Toronto and lost my money. Then thinking Cleveland would lose to Chicagp because its chicago, I put money on Chicago.
Cleveland is playing completely different baseball right now. It's October bases at its best. It's Ike the pitching got better (minus Bauer) for the playoffs and they are shorthanded. Kluber added to his arsenal to mess up batters, and adjusted well on playing short rest. Miller time, Shaw, fuck even Tomlin...
Next season if the Jay's somehow make the playoffs ( which I don't think we'll happen-they will get worse) I am not going to play on or against them. Can't bet with your heart and I knew better than this. If I do this next year I will be smart for it.

From my years as a sports investment broker i learned to seperate my teams from.wanting money. It is hard though sometimes for all of us to not get swept up in the emotion. Dont beat your self up we all have said " they will roll ! They are going all the way !" I told you I have been a tribe fan since the Jim Thome days. They are really doing it with pitchers throwing alot of junk to fool the cubs hitters. They do that all year in the big AL parks and it is really got the cubs stymied. My mom was from Milwaukee so by law I have no love for the cubs and their fans and used to roll out of old county stadium throwing up the bird to tour buses full of FIBS (f ing illinois bastards)
Let's finish strong buddy !

 

[SherwoodBlount]

The kid is a joke. Clev one game away!

 

[razorbackpicks]

It's amazing how dumb people get because they were on the wrong side of a bet. Kid you post a wager, this team is built well. They have a shut down bull pen, they can score a few runs, and one of the top starting rotation in the majors.

 

[Lloyd]

How dumb are u?

Extremely

 

[Buckeyefan80]

That was a fluke the Indians scored 7 runs on the Cubs and another fluke win. Hopefully they have another "fluke" tonight.

Entire playoff run was Boston Choking not hitting, Toronto choking, not hitting; and now Chicago.

If you watch baseball you know guys like Bauer, TOMLIN, Merritt, and the like have no business being part of a World Series rotation; these are pitchers you hope your team has on the schedule all year long. Kluber has been a horse, his own fan base was saying was an average pitcher up to July his ERA was in the 4's. Cleveland had no business doing this and you all know it.

They have not been forced to press or have been put in a pressure spot by the opponent once this entire postseason. Have never trailed in a series. Have only trailed in what, two games? Hit .160 in the ALCS.

They will win the World Series and may be remembered as the most gimmick, fluke team to ever do so. Final point - Been watching the game for over 30 years and have seen some talented teams win the title, some all time great teams in that span; but no one has ever ran through the playoffs 10-2 with so little resistance like a hot knife through butter. This is because of the lack of resistance their opponents have given them, has nothing to do with how good cleveland is.

Of their 10 wins 8 or 9 have followed the same pattern - junk run, junk run, maybe a homer and then just sit on the lead. Luckbox shit from start to finish. The better team is not leading this series which is a shame for the sport.
