I wish! No, he had one just fall in his lap and he hopped in the car and started driving to Cleveland. Probably make it just in time for the first pitch.

Two of my Chicago area buddies just had the same thing happen. They're on their way. Lucky bastards.

That is so, so true. The guy relies on hitters to get themselves out flailing around at pitches that end up ankle high. Patience is the key...hopefully the Cub hitters looked at film of their AB's against Tomlin at Wrigley. That video should be "must see" viewing.

Wow sounds like Joe is preparing for Miller to pitch innings 4-7 with Allen coming in for 8-9.
This is a 4 inning game tonight.

I agree - but Joe is hoping Contreras breaks out of his slump. I'd probably go with Ross though. Lets hope it works out.

Well, it looks like it will come down to Tomlin-Miller-Allen vs Arrieta-Montgomery-Chapman. God, I pray Jake has his good stuff tonight.

Yup, hope it works out also. But it seems at this moment Contreras is a naked nerve. Swinging at bad pitches, fumbling the ball behind the plate, fidgeting before the pitch, constantly asking for time outs to talk to the pitcher
He is obviously the catcher of the future but right now he is a basket case

Contreras should be done for the series as a starting catcher. I think Contreras is one of the mistakes that Maddon has made in the playoffs. He has not been good behind the plate in any series and his bat is extremely cold. Ross should be starting. I would take Montero over Contreras now. I hope this does not blow up. Jake has been very up and down. I don't suspect he will pitch a great game with Contreras back there. Best case is probably 6 innings with a run or two.

Yeah, and honestly I think Ross might even give better at-bats than Willie right now. But Joe is going with Willie, so lets hope he gets it done. I do think moving Schwarber up to 2nd in the lineup is an interesting move. I honestly would not even considered it, but it makes sense. Bryant, Rizzo and Zobrist should see some better pitches now.
As much as we got our ass kicked in Game 1 by Kluber, even he was delicately dancing around Schwarber a bit. The Indians are very aware of The Babe. And if he gets a hit against Tomlin in the 1st inning - look out.

Like Baez hitting 9. If he has to bunt to get on he becomes a RBI potential. I can see him looking to just get to 1B now which should be fun seeing the corners shoot on and then him pulling back to hit the gap.

I love the lineup other than Baez 9th. Russell learned to hit there last year, just like Schwarber hit second, but this murderers row should do some damage early, and early is the key. Get into that Cleveland pen while Jake throws a CG.
