Tribe have become chokers
-
We made the playoffs because we were in the weakest division in baseball. Houston is a step or two above us. That's just the way it is.

2018 in weakest division in MLB. The Tribe did look flat, very disappointing.
2017 best record in MLB including a once in a century 22 game win streak. They did choke in the ALDS. Burned out?
2016 went to WS Game 7 with basically a 3 man rotation. Went to extra innings after a ridiculous 17 minute rain delay, Kluber started 3 games.
Just the way it was.

Losing games when you’re ahead in the ninth inning is choking. Losing series when you are up 3 to 1 or two to nothing is choking. Maybe this year they didn’t choke but they did as I said lay down like dogs

The sad part is in 2016, 17, 18 they let a pitching bonanza slip through their fingers, Cy Young and all.
PLUS free agency may take a big hit on the INDIANS
CLEVELAND, Ohio - Change is coming to the Indians' roster and it could be widespread.
Carlos Carrasco, Michael Brantley, Josh Tomlin, Cody Allen, Lonnie Chisenhall, Andrew Miller, Melky Cabrera, Raja Davis, Brandon Guyer, Oliver Perez and Josh Donaldson could be free agents at the end of the World Series. Carrasco and Guyer are the only players with club options for 2019.
The reality of that change hit home Monday after the Indians were swept out of the ALDS in three games by the Houston Astros. Houston completed the sweep with an emphatic 11-3 victory at Progressive Field.
Tomlin, Brantley and Jason Kipnis sat in a far corner of the locker room after the game. They talked quietly and seemed in no hurry to leave. They'll be cleaning out their lockers in the next few days, but while Kipnis is signed through 2019 with a club option for 2020, Tomlin and Brantley may not be coming back.
Players like Tomlin, Brantley, Kipnis and Chisenhall, who was not with the team in September or the postseason, have played together for a long time. They went to the World Series in 2016, reached Game 7 and fell short. They believed they had the talent to finish the job, but it didn't happen.........continued........
GO BUCKEYES, BROWNS, INDIANS, CAVS, YSU, NAVY and yes I like ND! -

You mean the future HOF manager Terry Francona? Hopefully he stays forever or as long as he wants to do the job.

And Fransisco Lindor and Trevor Bauer are arbitration candidates.......they MUST be kept.
Bauer can go straight to hell.. He has choked in every playoff games hes been in.. Trade him for someone with some steel in his nerves.. This kid blows...

Bauer might be the best pitcher on a fine staff right now he coulda won 20 games if he didn't fracture his leg. RUNS, they needed runs.
Chokers? All season? The potentially good/great hitters they should have been solid 1-6 not just Lindor and Brantley who wasn't supposed to be the main man in the OF.
Kluber, Bauer, Carrasco, Clevinger, Beeber as good as there is in MLB as a group. (oh I saw all or part of about 155 or so games (+/-) this year, retired is nice
)

The bottom line is Bauer and Kluber choke in post season period.. trade them both.. please... Get us 2 pitchers that dont go chickenshit when it counts...
