    Man I just fundamentally disagree with tito tonight on pitching decisions. Left bauer and mccalister out there too long and directly cost us 2 runs.

    I won't second guess Francona he's been nearly flawless this entire year.

    99 times out of 100 you are right but this time even he is gonna admit he goofed it.

    I guess another thing I dont understand is how McCallister is a better option than salazar in the first place. Barring a miracle its time to start pitching for friday though. These guys are tough, they just have incredible at bats.

    A couple of things are obvious the Cubs are deeper with the starters and can hit.

    Cleveland has two legitimate starters and fill in guys plus Bauer was the #4 guy.

    And Kluber can't pitch every game.

    They are just going to have to gut it out every game and hope it goes 6 or 7.

    Well folks the 2016 WORLD SERIES is tied up at 1-1 going back to Chi-raq, the Indians now must try and win at least one game there to get it back to Cleveland, Ohio.

    See you Friday.

    Just being real with ourselves here, Game 3 is going to be a monumental task to win. That of course doesn't mean we're out of it though. Assuming Game 3 goes to the Cubbies, we certainly have the pitching advantage in game 4. Even if they Cubs get game 5, we get back the home field advantage with Tomlin/Kluber to give us a shot.

    Bauer tried his heart out.. I don't blame him.. The O left runners in scoring position and didnt execute.. Arrieta was on.. Theres a reason why the Cubs are here.. And it's not because of suckage.. they may be our biggest test yet and to Me.. They plainly are.

    Eh I'm not sure I 100% agree with you on Bauer. The guy wants to pitch HIS way and frankly he's not good enough to do that, at least yet. He throws lousy pitches at lousy times because he's too confident in this stuff. That could change but it's also the reason he walks a crap ton of people and gives up big hits. Talent isn't the issue, it's putting it all together that is right now.
