Anyone who has played hardball knows a fastball to the hand hurts when at bat. Chisenhall showed zero anguish, didn't even try to fake it. When your catcher says its a foul tip, challenge it. Girardi blew it.

Yep. That's absolutely and entirely on Girardi. His explanation for not challenging was lame.
It was still a ridiculous game, though. This may actually be the Indians year. Getting through the Astros and, IMO, the Cubs won't be easy. But, fuck, they are 35-4 over their past 39. That's a youth baseball record. I mean, even without the 22 straight, that's still 13-4.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

Since the Tigers gave away all their good players, I now am rooting for the Astros (Verlander) and the D-backs (J.D. Martinez)
You could make a pretty good all-star team out of the players the Tigers once controlled. The pitching could be: D. Price, Scherzer, Verlander, Robbie Ray, Porcello.Comment

If it is Astros/Indians, the Indians have had the most success of any team over Verlander. He's had good games against them, but truly some of the disaster starts in his career have come at whatever they are calling that park now.
Rooting for the Astros is awful, seeing Verlander in a Tiger uniform makes me nauseous every time I see it.Comment

Verlander in a Astro uniform is just weird. Looks like hes in an All Star game uniform or softball league.Comment

Encarnacion, Ramirez, and Lindor had a combined 4 hits in the series I think. Not gonna win that way.Comment

Yeah, they couldn't hit at all, which isn't too surprising. That they couldn't field was shocking. And Kluber was poop, which is also shocking. I do think you want Carrassco getting two starts and not Bauer. But, anyway. Game 3 was the game. Tanaka saved the Yankees and Lindor's would be 2-run big fly wasn't quite big enough to get over Judge's long reach.
But, that's baseball. Best postseason, IMO, without doubt. Love it. Well, we'll see -- if the Cubs lose tonight, then love it! (speaking of misfortune, how about a rain out pushing the Cubs into a Strasbourg start?)
I also have to say, I'm not a huge fan of the strikeout/homer model, but that's my only complaint.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

I couldn't help but thinking of the Mariners 117 win season when the Indians had their streak. It don't want to say impressive regular seasons are a curse, but they don't mean much once the postseason starts especially since the beginning of the divisional series format. You had a great season, great, you have more or less a 13 percent shot at a title.Comment
