Aroldis Chapman's Top Of The Eighth Was Designed To Make You Hate Baseball
Last night’s eight-out save by Aroldis Chapman featured the Cuban closer throwing 42 pitches to preserve the Cubs’ one-run lead to send the World Series back to Cleveland for a Game 6. At times, I was convinced that I would grow old and die before Chapman left the mound. ...

The Cubs Can't Touch Cleveland's Breaking Stuff
If there’s a single image that sums up the the first five games of the 2016 World Series, it’s one of the Cubs’ many supposedly mighty hitters feebly swinging at a breaking ball in the dirt. At this point, I think Javier Báez would swing at a ball that was rolled to the plate....

Game 3's Pitching Match-Up Was A Throwback
Last night’s World Series Game 3 wasn’t quite the pristine pitching match-up its 1-0 final score might indicate—there was an inconsistent strike zone, some very poor base running, Cleveland couldn’t score runners in scoring position for most of the game and each team ended up reaching for relief arm...

Cheerleaders Display "Trail Of Tears" Banner Before Game Against Team With Indian Mascot [Update]
Tonight’s Ohio high school football game between the Greenfield-McClain Tigers and Hillsboro Indians featured this embarrassing banner presented by the Greenfield-McClain cheerleaders, promising a “Trail of Tears Part 2" for Hillsboro. If that weren’t bad enough—and trust me, it is—it was an away ga...

The Cubs Waited The Indians To Death
If Game 2 of the World Series, which took just over four hours to complete, felt like a slog to you at times, well, imagine how it felt for the Indians pitchers who spent a cold night getting five runs squeezed out of them by a relentlessly patient Cubs lineup....
Kyle Schwarber Is Locked In
The World Series is all even and headed to Chicago after the Cubs took Game 2, 5-1. Cleveland rode Corey Kluber until he started showing the first signs of wavering in Game 1, and tonight, a magnificent Jake Arrieta took a no-hitter into the sixth inning, then promptly got pulled after giving up a r...
This Is The Worst Indians Fan
When cutting to commercial after the end of the top of the seventh inning, Fox cameras found this Indians fan rocking a headdress and combo blackface and redface and lingered on him for a full ten seconds. Perhaps focusing on this sad-looking man in racist cosplay is their version of a silent protes...

Kyle Schwarber Paid Off Joe Maddon's Faith
Anything better than a four-strikeout night for Kyle Schwarber would have been a pleasant surprise for the big beefy boy whose first at-bats against major-league pitching since April 7 came against Corey Kluber and Andrew Miller in Game 1 of the World Series. ...
Andrew Miller Has The Stuff To Get Out Of Trouble<em></em>
Cleveland starting pitcher Corey Kluber was 88 pitches deep after he gave up a leadoff single to Ben Zobrist in the seventh inning of Game 1 Tuesday. He could have seen a couple more batters, but Terry Francona planned ahead, and pulled him for Andrew Miller, the shaggy scarecrow who hadn’t allowed ...

Rob Manfred Hints At Meeting With Indians Ownership To Discuss Racist Logo [Update]
MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred made an appearance on ESPN’s Mike & Mike yesterday to shoot the shit about the World Series. Manfred said he feels good about the elevated level of interest in the historic Indians-Cubs World Series, and is stoked that there are 14 players under the age of 25 playing in ...
Terry Francona Has Big Plans For Corey Kluber
Here’s something that should put the fear of god and of the two-seam fastball into the Cubs: Corey Kluber still had plenty in the tank when he was pulled after six-plus innings. As dominant as Kluber’s nine-strikeout performance was, Terry Francona is holding him back. He’s saving him....
