Bruce homered on the same pitch Gregorius struck out on. He may be the best acquisition we've made in 15 years.

You got that Kluber guy in a 2010 trade with the Padres. (Not like I knew that--had to check.)

yeah, I'm exaggerating, but he's been so crucial this season.

Good thing Sanchez can hit, he looks a bit out of control when I see him play behind the plate. I'd think the movement on his mitt would drive pitchers crazy.

Yankees games are always slow as molasses, even worse is when they play the Red Sox.
Bauer really doesn't look to be really working slow at all.

Cleveland is good. They get a good start with their bullpen, they are tough. The lineup is better this year than last year.

best in MLB I suspect and I kinda think Kluber is the best pitcher in the game right now.

yeah. i was convinced the tribe was just going to mow down all comers but seeing the astros murtalize the sox was chastening. i now believe they are the best team. and now i get that uniquely perverse playoff sensation of watching what used to be hated villains magically transform into the good guys and i will delight in every wound they inflict on los yanks

Nobody's outright saying that Kluber wasn't hurt, so I'm taking that to mean that he was hurt. In which case this was a collosal fuck up by the entire Cleveland organisation.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Thursday, 12 October 2017 19:36 (six years ago) link
totally... i mean obviously Carrasco is no Kluber but he was probably the 4th or 5th best pitcher in the AL this year, and they could have run him out there twice.

Important question: what's blue collar baseball?
― Van Horn Street, Friday, 13 October 2017 19:19 (six years ago) link
yeah it's a pretty amorphous term, seems to refer to non-established stars in this case?
― k3vin k., Friday, 13 October 2017 19:20 (six years ago) link
The '93 Phillies were "blue-collar": rough and tumble, no glamorous stars, cast-offs, looked like they should have been in a bar band or something. To a certain extent, I think it can be code for white--but the Phillies did have Mariano Duncan, Kim Batiste, and Ben Rivera in prominent roles. I remember it as a mostly white and disheveled-looking bunch, though: Dykstra, Kruk, Mitch Williams, Incaviglia, etc.
The Jays at the time were viewed as aristocratic and machine-like by contrast, best exemplified by Alomar.

No baseball player is blue collar. Minimum salary is $500k right? So
