They could have nailed chapman in the bottom of the 9th
Chapman most likely doesn't finish the 8th if Yan Gomes doesn't have one of the worst at bat in the history of baseball. Chapman just gave up the 2 run homer to tie the game then a sharp single to CoCo and the goes 2-0 to Gomes on 2 pitches the weren't close and for some reason Gomes swings on 2-0 to a pitch that again wasn't even close and then proceed to swing at balls 4 and 5 to end the inning. CoCo would have been on 2nd our lead off hitter is up the stadium would have been rocking like the mid 90's and Chapman who is now mentally and physically exhausted his focus is gone and I don't think he stays in to face Santana and if he does stay in.............They could have nailed chapman in the bottom of the 9th

Great season and no one outside of Cleveland would've predicted the success. A young nucleus is a good sign for the future.

^ yes and it looks good going forward as far as keeping the team intact -
FA's Napoli, Davis, Crisp pending...

On another sports board contest.... Geezzz I had 92 and changed it to 90 regular season because I thought I was getting too greedy. And they ended up with 94+3+4+3 = 104 vs a team with 103 regular season wins.Great season and no one outside of Cleveland would've predicted the success.

The 14 game winning streak got the INDIANS the home field advantage.
Not bad Indians, more than 94 next year?

Hard to count on arms getting us back even as deep as our pitching seems to be. Going to need a little more Offense.
I lost count of the number of times I muttered "go with the pitch... take it to the opposite field" the last couple games. Seemed like only Guyer and Chisenhall listened. Napoli? Not so much...

Napoli frequently watched the best pitch of his at bats sail right by.

All can be replaced in my book.

And he had a terrific view of it all!
It happens when hitters go into a slump. ...but not good at playoff time especially with three one run games and two on the road, could have used his big bat in fact it might have tipped the series outcome.
