Think we lose G1, win 2 and 3.

 

[Amherstcavsfan]

Reminder: Klubes usually sucks early in the year. Try not to overrea... never mind.

 

[ice cream man]

Yep. We will lose 10-0 today.

I already miss Brantley.

Must win game

 

[Cavs Need To Win]

Kluber sucks as the Opening Day starter. Every year he's the starter Game 1 and every year he sucks in that game. I think it will be the same this year.

This is blatantly false

Was interested, so I checked:

2015: 7.1 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 2.45 ERA, lost the game 2-0
2016: 5.1 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, 5 K, 6.75 ERA, lost the game 6-2
2017: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 5 ER (3 HR), 3 BB, 6 K, 7.50 ERA, no decision
2018: 8.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 8 K, 2.25 ERA, lost the game 2-1

So yeah, two really good starts, and two not-so good starts. Kluber is a historically slow starter compared to the rest of the season, so I hope the fans wait until til late May before bringing out the pitchforks if he starts slow again this year.

Last year the dude threw a complete game, struck out 8, gave up 2 runs, and took the loss.

Fucking pathetic.

 

[Marcus]

World Series.

Looking forward to watching this on my phone today. Thanks, MLB.TV!

Word around the water cooler is that Jose is going to play today. Still interested to see the starting lineup, probably something like:

C - Roberto Perez
1B - Carlos Santana
2B - Brad Miller
SS - Eric Stamets
3B - Jose Ramirez
LF - Jake Bauers
CF - Leonys Martin
RF - Tyler Naquin/Greg Allen
DH - Hanley Ramirez

That lineup looks like puke lmao

That lineup looks like puke lmao

It'll look a bit better when Lindor replaces Stamets and Kipnis replaces Miller.

Just a lot of unknowns with the outfield right now.

 

[BMAN]

It looks like shit, but there’s just so much time that a couple outfielders could break out with getting Lindor and Kipnis back. Or it could just all fall apart I suppose.
