2020 Final Series Pirates @ Indians, Sep. 25-27

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
The Cubs are locked into the #4 seed and today's game is meaningless so I assume they will send out a bunch of reserves to play the White Sox. OTOH, the N.L. wild card series don't start until Wednesday so they may not want to give their starters three days off. My guess is they play their subs and the White Sox kick their butts.

If the Sox win I think the best case scenario for the Tribe is if the A's and Twins lose so the Sox get the 2nd seed. Otherwise it's the Twins or A's on the road which are not good scenarios. But with Bieber, Plesac, and Carrasco going we have a chance against anybody if those guys are on top of their games.

I can't figure out whether to watch the Indians or Browns this afternoon. The problem is that both games will show scores of the other games across the bottom every five minutes or so and I have to keep remembering to look away.
Wham - The Cubs are a division winner so they get 1 of the top 3 seeds (believe it is #3). San Diego is the #4 seed by being 2nd to LA Dodgers in NL West..

And you can watch both games since the Browns are at 1 pm & Tribe doesn't start until after 3 pm....
 
Does everybody realize that today is probably the last regular season game for the team known as the CLEVELAND INDIANS?

Think about that as you watch The Washington Football Team game this afternoon.

I have a hunch they will announce the possible name change a season or two before it actually happens. It be cool if we could vote on it as well

A name change WITHOUT general fan imput/ vote would be a PR disaster - Worse then being stubborn to keep name while reverting back the Chief Wahoo of the 1940s & 1950s...

CLEVELAND. SPIDERS. DIG IT.

Logo possibilities are endless.

Cy Young also pitched for the Cleveland Spiders.

Lets just say that there will be a lot of scoreboard watching today....maybe more for one three hour period than any in baseball history.

The only thing that is certain is that a Tribe win coupled with a White Sox loss grants us home field for the first round....and anything else puts us on the road.

I really like our chances vs any possible opponent if we play at home.

Why is home field so important with zero fans? I think home field advantage is seriously overrated in 2020 MLB.
 
Check the away records of NY and Toronto snd tell me it doesn't matter.
 
Quantrill with a 12 pitch first inning, including a single.
 
Jose gets HBP.

Carlos sends him to third with a double to right.
 
Check out the Twins record at home...and the White Sox.

There may be no fans, but home field advantage has been huge for most AL playoff teams this season.
