Cubs have flat out choked in the WS. They have constantly chased bad pitches and can't hit with RISP. It's crazy to think they've been shutout in four postseason games this year.
The Indians remind me a lot of the Royals from last year. Just "okay" starting pitching (minus Kluber), but a lights out bullpen. All they need is their starter to go 5-6 innings, and then they split the last 3-4 innings between Andrew Miller and Cody Allen.
The M's should try to copy this formula. Great defense. Solid starting pitching. And a lights out pen. We already have Diaz, we just need to find another arm or two that can be lights out.
Man it must suck to be a Cubs fan. On the other side, can you imagine what it feels like to be a sports fan in Cleveland right now, assuming the Indians win this whole thing.
On a side note, Francona is a great manger. Can't believe Boston let Epstein and Francona get away from them. That would be like if we let Pete and JS walk, only to watch them make the SB with other teams.
