Oh, I agree. Just conjecturing how Maddon's fans will explain it.Originally Posted by CyYoung31

I guess Smoltz doesn't know about Francona's tobacco issues.
I've never rooted for a non-Brave more than I'm rooting for Heyward to hit a bomb right here.

I just don't think anyone should have ever ****ed with Heyward's stance.

Heyward just can't stay inside the ball. He casts his top hand out around the ball on every single swing. He works on staying inside on all his warmup swings and it just doesn't carry over to his actual swings.
Yep.
Cubs 0-15 with runners on base and Kluber going tomorrow night. Cubs in trouble

Maybe Francona should have carried an extra 1B to serve as a defensive replacement for the water buffalo he has playing over there. Could have been shades of Bill Buckner.

There has been some really clutch pitching in this series.
I would describe it differently - his swing is rotational rather than taking the butt of the bat to the baseball - but we're seeing the same thing. And it's ruining his swing. I want that arm tucked in close to the body and his is about as diametrically opposite that objective as possible.

Francona going with Kluber on 3 days rest?

Kluber vs Lackey for game 4 as of right now

Yep. I like it. He purposefully took him out earlier than he perhaps otherwise would have in Game 1, and he wasn't really stressed at all in that one. So he should be ready, and going against Lackey instead of Lester gives the Indians better odds of winning it. And if they do win it, the series is all but over.
clutchness cannot be overrated....especially in the post-season

Francona is pretty masterful. Got more than 4 good innings out of Tomlin (and got him out after only 58 pitches, making him easily available for Game 6), then let Miller get through the heart of their order once. Took him out after only throwing 17 pitches and put in Crisp, who got the game-winning RBI. Then had Allen ready for the last time through the heart of Chicago's order.
He is the best manager in baseball, and it's not close.
The early hook for Tomlin might also have been influenced by the fact he too will likely be coming back on three days rest.
Cleveland will win. Epstein will hire Francona in 4 years.

Not sure if it was defense or not. Soler doesnt hit righties well and would likely be facing them rest of way. But then again he started Soler vs righty.
Funny thing is game would likely have still been tied if Heyward starts. He catches the Crisp ball with ease.
Indians did what they had to do and stole a game bc thr Cubs couldnt hit Tomlin with wind blowing out. They are going to have to
Steal ine back vs Kluber.
