Kyle Schwarber Has Not Been Cleared To Play In The Field

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....
Corey Kluber, Goddamn
The Indians have been nigh unbeatable this postseason thanks to a bullpen that’s seemingly incapable of getting roughed up and a propensity for whacking big dingers. They lived up to expectations on both fronts tonight, but they also have Corey Kluber to thank for utterly confounding Cubs hitters al...

The Cleveland Indians will be back in the World Series for the first time since 1997, after they made quick work of the Blue Jays and won a fairly rote ALCS, 4-1.
