Lovely.

Don't really understand the "hotel was overbooked" bs... So these rooms were supposed to be reserved "just incase" and the hotel sold them anyway??

The more these stupid "circumstances" add up, the more I'm convinced we're going to feed these fools to the lions tonight.

Goodness!

In the interest of fair play they should move the game to Cleveland. NY had its chance.

j/c:

Hammer these punks!

I just turned the game on and the very first play I see is the Yankees hitting a home run... Three to nothing, Yankees up on top. Not good but it's still real early in the game.

j/c:

Only 1/3 of an inning for Civale. Not good at all.

No challenge on the Gimenez hit??

Their replay coordinator has been trash all year. That was horrendous not to challenge that.

Can Myles Straw do anything other than pop the ball up in the infield?

Ramirez has been bad at the plate lately w/ RISP.

Time to get disciplined at home base

think !

win this game Guardians !!

Pitching Civale was always going to be a controversy. He just wasn’t sharp.

j/c...

Bummer.

Heck of a season though and proud of this team. Surpassed all expecations.

Going to be interesting to see what they do in the off-season as far as moves go.

On to the Cavs!

Great season Guards

It's about options, Baseball is a game of Chess

It's a great game for strategy which all of us

Who watches knows

Been nice to have Bieber start, then there is who

would start tomorrow

The experience this young team learned this post season

will hopefully bring a WS soon

for the team and fans

--I question starting Civale. I got worried as soon as I saw his ERA, his history against some of the guys at the top of the Yanks' lineup, and how long it's been since he's pitched. He had no command. I think going all bullpen or starting Bieber would have been smarter.

--Who is the replay decision maker for the team? That was obvious.

--There is only one thing I hate more than hitters striking out. That is pitchers walking guys, especially the lead off hitter in the inning. Aaargghhhh!

--It's kinda weird that we had so many bloop hits out in left field. It's not important, but I've never seen that many in a series before.

--We caught a lot of bad breaks w/the stupid schedule [a day off after game 1] and the weather.

--Oh well, it was an entertaining series and I saw a lot of good pitchers and some good young players on our roster.

--Speaking of.......I really like Kwan. He has a nice, smooth, easy swing. Kinda reminds me a bit of a Keith Hernandez or maybe even Icharo. I think this kid is going to be good for quite awhile.

Need some bats badly.

Yep you can have all the pitching in the world but offense wins in the postseason and we have too many holes. Waay overachieved. Need to start getting behind this team and leave the mistake on the lake alone. Then Dolan can go get some legit bats

Youngest team in the Majors, or the Minors.

Sad ending to an excellent season, one that no one realy saw coming. I think that the re-signing of Jose was the key to the whole season. Many of the 17 rookies who made their Major League debut showed that they belong. We need some roster tinkering, for sure, but I reallly love these kids, and hope they get a chance to conntinue to grow.

Go Guards! Thanks for a great season!

Thanks to my dad for bringing me up as a Yankees fan. - Nobody seemed to care when I was a kid strutting around the suburbs of Cleveland with my Yankees gear on back in the ‘80’s. But there was definitely some beef when the Indians rose to prominence in the ‘90’s and beyond.
My wife and daughter root for the tribe but made a good point tonight. This isn’t smack talk either. The Indians attendance was one of the lowest in the league this year- in spite of having a great young team. Opening day sold out just in time and one of the postseason games didn’t sell out. I work in Cleveland and didn’t hear a single person stop to talk about the game tonight. It’s like most people didn’t know it was on- or worse, didn’t care. - Its a bit unusual. I think that they really need to reconsider the name change as it’s driven a lot of people away from rooting for this team. I can’t think of any other reason why for the level of fan support/interest to be so low right now. - Browns are disappointing and the Cavs aren’t even in season. The Indians might be in danger of moving if things don’t change. Just my .02. And for what it’s worth, I thought
that the tribe had this series locked up after game 3.

Good season Guardians... this team is on the rise...

j/c:

GOAT.

Chills, every time... with almost all of these calls.

I sure hope he gets to call a championship. The first thing I'll do after watching it with my own eyes, is race off to hear it again through his. One will bring many more tears than the other.

j/c...

Wow!

Clowney be like:

How? Man, Jose has shown incredible committment to his team, teammates, and city ... but this is just ridiculous. How does a guy hit, and hit well, with a broken hand?????

For months???

Wow.

It's not like he sucked, either. From July through the end of the season, he hit 19 doubles, 13 HR, and 63 RBI. He also made some incredible plays at 3B during that time.

I would add that even a small fracture, on a relatively small bone, would have to hurt like heck every time anything jarred that hand.

I think this reporter may have made a mistake. Jose did break his hand 3 years agoi, and was lost for the season. (IIRC) I cannot find anything else reporting this broken bone.

No, I recall this being discussed on the broadcast during the season. The Indians/Guardians have always been mum on player injuries.

Thanks for the follow up.

He is incredible.

Ramirez playing through that is so crazy

The stat lines before and after the missed games are revealing.
