Then don't come out BEFORE the first pitch of the WS and state you're going to run at will. He either lied, or, failed in the application.Quote:

I just can't imagine Tito beating his chest about how the Indians were going to run wild on Jon Lester or anyone else. Just isn't his style.
I may have jumped to a conclusion there, but, it seemed comprehensive, not just to include Lester. Like it was intimated that unlike the Dodgers he was going to run and run on everybody, not just talk, but, action.Quote:

Cubs. I just hope the Indians can steal a game in Chicago so we can take this thing back to Cleveland.Quote:

Edit. Kluber will be facing Lackey in Game 4. This actually works in the Indians' favor. Kluber/Indians will be favored in that game. Win that and then it's Lester in Game 5. Lester is one of the all time great post-season pitchers, but I think the baserunning shenanigans are getting to him and could prompt him into a collapse.
By Jon's standards, game 1 does, in fact, count as a meltdown. I expect him to be sharper next start.
The Tribe are off to a great start!
That ought to make em think twice about their running wild plan.
Hendricks living dangerously by dodging dem bullets. Needs to go back to simply disarming the hitters.
Terrible call there, let's see if Cubbies take advantage.
Tribe with the perfect mixture of patience and aggressiveness against The Professor.
You can only play with fire so long before you get burned, Cubbies about to learn just that.
Is Bill Murray having a stroke?
Indians on the board!
Big spot here for Cleveland. If they get this out and close this game with a win, it might just kill the Cubs.
3 outs left and they cleared Bryant.
Nothing I've seen this year leads me to believe that Cubs will throw in the towel should they lose this one, absolutely nothing.
