Brett Gardner Works
For the length of 26 batters, from the moment the Indians chased CC Sabathia from the game in the fifth and got the Cleveland crowd back into things, until the moment Brett Gardner worked—and there is no better word than worked—an epic at-bat in the ninth, Game 5 of the ALDS was about as tense as g...
Cleveland Beaten By Yankees And By Themselves
The Indians’ catalogue of postseason failure is fairly lengthy, but it is not especially varied. There are, after all, a lot of different ways to lose—blowouts and gentle fades and attempted comebacks that can’t come back enough. But Cleveland’s recent history of loss here is almost exclusively defi...
Isaiah Thomas Has Had It Rough
The new Lee Jenkins jam does what it usually does—suffuse its subject with a big old cloud of pathos—and his current subject, Isaiah Thomas, couldn’t be more deserving of the treatment. Thomas landed in Boston after languishing under-appreciated in Sacramento and Phoenix, made All-NBA teams, led the...
Trevor Bauer Had A Rough Start And Then Went On A Twitter Blocking Spree
There were a lot of goats in Cleveland’s 7-4 Game 4 loss Monday to the Yankees, which makes them 4-17 in their last 21 potential clinchers dating back to that nightmarish Game 7 of the 1997 World Series.

Jets Try Talking Shit To Browns, Immediately Back Down
So the New York Jets, a very bad and anonymous football team that many people believed had a shot at going 0-16, are 2-2. They’ve beaten the Jaguars and the Dolphins, and this week they take on the Browns. I guess if there was any time for the 2017 Jets to feel chesty, this is it, which explains why...
Cleveland's Pitching Got Things Done
Cleveland’s decision to start Trevor Bauer in Game 1 of the ALDS against the Yankees tonight and hold ace Corey Kluber for Game 2 was slightly unorthodox, but the logic behind it was sound: They knew that their opponent would have just used up their best starting pitcher in the wild card game, meani...

The Cavs Will Go Small And Weird, Start Kevin Love At Center
