Indians vs Nationals (Finish oh so strong)

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yeah the Yankees really whipped us

Close the window on the 93 win team bringing back everyone from this year except for its 6th best hitter and a 36 year old reliever
 
I think the Indians will have a nice season next year.

Probably a mid 80’s win team.
 
I just find it really hard to believe that this freaking Twins team are the ones that broke the single season hr record. This team? Really??? I mean they have some nice hitters but c'mon now . . .
 
93 wins isn't impressive to me when you have not one, but two 100 loss teams in your division. Going 2-11 vs A's and Rays makes those 93 wins look like fake news.

We weren't a legit 90 win team by any means. Not with all of our injuries, anyways. Like our boy Joey Bats would say, circumstances. Detroit had 112 losses lol, we are lucky to play that 19 times.

It's so refreshing hearing from someone who is not a complete homer.

I would agree with that.

Which is also what plays into my thoughts on next season as well. The fact they won what they won this season has no bearing on next season and same goes for what we saw from the staff.

Looks promising for sure but again we thought Bauer would be a Cy-guy this season and he fell off completely... So it could really go either way...

Imo the window is closed for a championship... But can easily be re-opened for a playoff contention spot and maybe a contender again with a move or 2.
 
93 wins isn't impressive? With everything that has happened to this team this season? Give me a fucking break

CarGo was hitting cleanup in half of the games vs Oakland, Martin was still playing everyday OF, Jose was in the middle of his funk, Kluber & Clev were on the DL, and Carrasco was just on the verge of finding out he had Leukemia

Jose missed the entire 2nd series in Tampa

The Jays and Orioles have 202 combined losses between the 2 of them

17-15 vs. the AL Division winners
 
I'm sure there'll be disagreements and opinions flying left and right, but those 93 wins don't tell the whole story. What was our record vs Detroit and Kansas City, and what was our record vs above .500 teams?

And batting CarGo cleanup sounds like a cheap ass ownership thing. Cbs sports posted something about that.
 
I'd post some past results that show having a good or bad record vs. + .500 has no real correlation for postseason success. But what's the point? Your mind is made up and you wouldn't read it anyway.
 
At the end of the day we didn't get the required luck that goes into a season, we didn't get help from others, the stars didn't align for us in 2019. We're not the Yankees, we can't lose half of the 25 man roster to injuries and still perform.

I just have an issue with the whole 93 wins thing, I don't give a fuck that we beat Detroit and Kansas Shitty 500 times. The As and Rays are in because they handled the Indians with care. If we go 5-8 vs them, we're looking pretty. Back then those games didn't mean shit, but now? They obviously mean the world. Getting swept by Tampa meant the world.
 
Anthony Rendon is so underrated
 
The milk has gone bad !
 
Anthony Rendon is so underrated

Most underrated guy in baseball for my money. Some team is going to pay him big-time this offseason.
