2017 mlb alds yankees vs indians

Right on cue, they're showing the highlights from last year.

High strikes calls have seemed kind of random all night, it's not just those two pitches.

Gardner sticking in the knife.

They will make a big deal about Bruce's throw and Lindor not handling it, but really Frazier was busting azz to get home on that hit through the infield from first on that play.

Amazing battle from Gardner and what a brainfart by Cleveland's defense.

Frazier's slide was great too, anything less and he would have been out.

I'm not saying it was Enos Slaughter or anything, but to get from first to home even with that bad relay you had to be busting it.

I've definitely seen worse throw ins, he just had to hit third right as Lindor fumbled the ball and kept on trucking.

ONly thing I can figure is that really since it just got through the infield it took a bit for Jay Bruce to get to the ball, as he might have been playing kinda deep.

The Indians are starting to get those thousand-yard stares : )

The insurance run had already scored ahead of him, which made it a much easier gamble to take.

This is going to be a gut shot and a half to real Tribe fans if it ends where it is. This team is so good. That said, this is a hungry Yanks club, probably the most since 96.

Love the quick cuts to Cleveland babes between pitches

This had been a heck of a series.

boy oh boy i'm glad i don't have to root for chapman to close my team's series.

Always a pleasure to see Francona lose

After Game 2 I was resigned to a series loss--I mean this Indians team was a juggernaut, no shame in losing to them.

Amazing comeback, Didi, Tanaka, Bird, Gardner, Robertson, CC, heroes forever in my book.

let's go stros

maybe they'll change their bad-luck mascot to something luckier

Indians defense gave this one away. Great pitching by Miller and Allen all for naught.

that last call strike call was iffy.

NIGHTY NIGHT

There is a some things to like about this Yank club, much more blue collar than usual. I kinda dig seeing old dogs like CC getting a win tonight, as he had been good for so long.

Either way, the Astros series should be really good. I had a feeling this year's playoffs were going to be really good, it's one of those seasons where the top clubs (outside maybe the the Twins - sorry) were all pretty good.

calstars is trash clearly, how could one root against st tito

I hate the Yankees so much. But this was a great comeback.

Cleveland dominated in Game 1 and could still start Kluber twice on regular rest, you can't plan it much better than that.

(just playin calstars)

but yea what the fuck happened to kluber

yeah that's key, yanks only where they are because Kluber wasn't Kluber anymore.

anyway as a hard astros bandwagonner i'd rather they face the yankees than the indians.

It happens. There are two guys left that have that kind of onus setting on them with Kershaw and Verlander.

lol Marcos

I'm happy for CC, dude about drank himself out of baseball and has really came back to be a quite an effective player again this year. It would be cooler if it was with the Tribe, but he's been a Yank for a long time. I've always liked that guy.

some Greatest Pitching Staff Ever!

That said, this is a hungry Yanks club, probably the most since 96.

yeah those words don't mean any actual thing, sorry

i'm sure this year's Oakland A's were "hungrier," it's hard to eat in a ballpark that gets flooded with shit.

yeah CC is cool, the rest is bland / made bland by media.

or downright vile, like Aroldis Weinstein Chapman.

I always liked Gardner too, he's been good and underrated for a while, and one of the least slappable long term Yankee stars ever.

i'd slap him

amazing. the Indians lost three games in the ALDS. they lost two games in the regular season

maybe this will be the thing that'll cause them to change the team name! ........

They should keep the name "Tribe" and just change their logo to the cover of The Low End Theory

^^

man what a fucking disappointment

Disappointed too. Yankees-Cubs would be the worst WS for me--last year's winner and the team that's won a million.

How about Yanks-Dodgers so we can party like it's 1949

or even 1981

but no

the yankees are really fuckin good but i am pretty shocked that cleveland isn't even making the alcs!

3 outta 5, it's anybody's ballgame. By run differential these were the 2 best teams in the league.

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
