    Dreaming ahead if the Indians can wrap this up in 3 or 4 games they can then completely reset their pitching rotation for the ACLS. 😮

    It's gonna end up the Indians starters vs. the Yankees bullpen which has a far better collective era than any of their starters. 13 SOs last night in 8 2/3 innings.

    Looking waaaay ahead to the World Series game 1 would be Tuesday October 24 and game 6 if necessary on HALLOWEEN with game 7 on November 1, 2017.

    Wouldn't that be a hoot in sunny Cleveland,  Ohio. 😉

    I'll take the Tribe's bullpen "IF" Clevinger, Salazar, Miller, Allen are all 100% healthy and ready to roll in October,  should be fun. 🙂

    Yea, but, the Indians have a better bullpen than the Yankees.

    "IF" Salazar and Miller are 100% ready to roll look out! Remember wio won playoff MVP awards last year plus Francona is a mad scientist with his matchups.

    I think the pitching matchups are gonna go

    Tanaka vs Bauer
    Sabathia vs. Kubler

    Gray vs.Carrasco

    Wouldn't be surprised if the Yanks get to Bauer in Game 1, Kubler shuts them out in Game 2, and Carrasco edges Gray in Game 3.

    Gonna be a great series. I think my yanks fall to the tribe in 4/5 games

    I have to say, hats off to the tribe for their starting pitchers.

    3 starters with at least 17 wins is incredible.. Not to mention having Andrew Miller in the backend of the pen, shutting down hitters with his nasty combo of fb/slider

    Not from NY. Born and raised in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Grew up in the Poconos, moved to Myrtle Beach 4 years ago.

    Grew up as a Browns and Yanks fan. I have been to 6 yankee games in my life. 2 at the old stadium, and 4 in the new stadium.

    only thing that sucks is that it is not a 7 game series

    Which team has the edge in the American League Division Series?

    http://www.cleveland.com/tribe/index.ssf/2017/10/cleveland_indians_vs_new_york_19.html

    CLEVELAND, Ohio — Thursday’s American League Division Series opener between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians features two teams that are more evenly matched than some would think.

    Beyond statistics, a position-by-position analysis of the matchup suggests each team can claim an edge in several aspects of the game.

    Cleveland (102-60) won the season series between the two clubs, 5-2, sweeping a late-August series in the Bronx after splitting four games at Progressive Field earlier that same month.
    Offensively, the Yankees (91-71) finished second in the AL in runs scored (858) while Cleveland was third (818). New York led the league with 241 home runs (Cleveland 212), while the Indians finished with a better team batting average (.263 to .262) and higher slugging percentage (.449 to .447).
    Cleveland led the AL in nearly every important pitching category, including team ERA (3.30) and strikeouts (1,614), while the Yankees posted a league-low batting average against (.228).
    Here is a look at the ALDS matchup with a breakdown of which club has the edge at each spot.

    I'm not a big fan of Bauer,, but I think I understand Tito's logic.. if you want to call it that... Hes a bit better than serviceable and you don't have to tire out the better arms on the roster.. That said.. GO TRIBE!!!
