Indian Watch

20 in a row is something else. I think your team winning eight in a row is the point at which you feel like you're on drugs. Twenty in a row must be like ecstasy on the moon.

The last team to do that was the 2002 A's. Are we sure it was just ecstasy? :) Mets stuff - Terrence Long played 162 games for that club. (Baseball-Reference lists him as the centerfielder.) Later

Edgy MD Sep 13 2017 02:51 AM Re: Indian Watch

Indians 21-5 with Jay Bruce in the lineup.

Frayed Knot Sep 13 2017 02:56 AM Re: Indian Watch

7th shutout (and second straight) among the 20 wins. They might go 21-5 with ME in the lineup.

Zvon Sep 13 2017 03:36 AM Re: Indian Watch

Pretty incredible. We've had two streaks of 11 over the last few years but imagine....20 in a row. If the Mets did that my head would explode.

Mets Willets Point Sep 13 2017 03:40 AM Re: Indian Watch

If they break the all-time win streak record, it would be a good time to announce a name change to something less racist. Who can be oppose a team that just won 27 straight games?

Chad Ochoseis Sep 13 2017 04:58 AM Re: Indian Watch

One of my Indians fan friends has commented, "Win the Series and retire the Chief!", which is something I can see happening. I think the city and the team are looking for a reason to do it that doesn't make it appear that they're simply caving to outside pressure, and a fan rebellion after a Series victory would look silly. Changing the name and/or making any other changes after breaking the winning streak record, not so much.

BLACKJACK!! In yesterday's (20th) win it took them until their first batter to get a lead - leadoff HR Francisco Lindor. Today they actually got down 1-0 so it took them all the way until Jay Bruce's 3R HR in the bottom of the 1st (5th batter)

Edgy MD Sep 13 2017 08:26 PM Re: Indian Watch

Cleveland's greatest 21: Bob Lemon.

cooby Sep 13 2017 11:53 PM Re: Indian Watch

My son has been an Indians fan since he could talk. Not saying a word to him so I don't jinx it

Chad Ochoseis Sep 14 2017 03:19 AM Re: Indian Watch

Some Jay Bruce content here. Jay is clearly a summa cum laude graduate of the Crash Davis School of Baseball Cliches.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:01 AM Re: Indian Watch

Indians batting in bottom 9, down by a run to KC and closer Kelvin Herrera. 1st batter = Groundout

Chad Ochoseis Sep 15 2017 02:03 AM Re: Indian Watch

Ex-Met prospect Drew Butera behind the plate. It's down to two so-so young Indians.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:04 AM Re: Indian Watch

Single to left for Tyler Naquin 'Twould be a shame for all these Indian fans who suddenly are attending the games to go home disappointed

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:05 AM Re: Indian Watch

Naquin hugging first. Very exciting.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:06 AM Re: Indian Watch

Kid making his ML debut grounds into force play ... but now the lineup turns over and it's back to Lindor. Tying run on 1st, winning at the plate.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:07 AM Re: Indian Watch

Two. But Lindor up at the plate.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:08 AM Re: Indian Watch

AND THEY FUCKING TIE THE GAME!!!!

Chad Ochoseis Sep 15 2017 02:09 AM Re: Indian Watch

Holy crap.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:10 AM Re: Indian Watch

That was great.

Chad Ochoseis Sep 15 2017 02:10 AM Re: Indian Watch

I'm in Jersey this week, so I can see the Indians on MLB.tv and not the Mets. Judging from what I see in the boxscores, I'm getting the better end of the deal.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:25 AM Re: Indian Watch

KCR doesn't score in top 10 despite a one out single Looks like Ramirez, Encarnacion, and Bruce for the Injuns in the bottom half

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:28 AM Re: Indian Watch

Leadoff hustle double

Chad Ochoseis Sep 15 2017 02:31 AM Re: Indian Watch

You do that, you'd better be safe. Particularly with Edwin Encarnacion on deck.

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:31 AM Re: Indian Watch

1st & 2nd I think if Jay Bruce wins the game here the Indians need to send us another player to goose up the trade. AND HE DOES!!!!

Chad Ochoseis Sep 15 2017 02:33 AM Re: Indian Watch

...and it ends with an ex-Met walkoff.

Zvon Sep 15 2017 02:35 AM Re: Indian Watch

Wow. I should have been watching that game.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:36 AM Re: Indian Watch

I love that the Indians' translator showed up with her finals week hairstyle.

Edgy MD Sep 15 2017 02:37 AM Re: Indian Watch

Jay Bruce is spewing cliches for the cycle!

Frayed Knot Sep 15 2017 02:39 AM Re: Indian Watch

Who loses more games during September, the Indians or the Browns? So far the Browns are "leading" 1-0

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 12:54 AM Re: Indian Watch

Cleveland up 3-1 through three, but gave up runs each of the last two innings and are tied at three through five.

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 01:27 AM Re: Indian Watch

Uh, oh. KC goes up 4-3.

MFS62 Sep 16 2017 02:05 AM Re: Indian Watch

Angel Hernandez is in the umpiring crew. Nothing good can happen if he's involved in it. Later

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 02:10 AM Re: Indian Watch

We go to bottomy bottom of the ninthy ninth. Jason Vargas started this game for the Royals, and even though he only went five, the Royals took the league in the top of the sixth, leaving him as the pitcher of record. Is Jason F. Vargas really going to be the guy to break this streak? JASON VARGAS?

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 02:14 AM Re: Indian Watch

Yanni Diaz leads off with a flare single to right off his fists.

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 02:18 AM Re: Indian Watch

Gomes goes down looking at a fastball down the pipe. One out and one on. Francisco Mejia on to pinch hit.

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 02:20 AM Re: Indian Watch

He strikes out. It's all up to Francisco Lindor. Again.

Edgy MD Sep 16 2017 02:22 AM Re: Indian Watch

And that's it. Twenty-two and out.

MFS62 Sep 16 2017 02:23 AM Re: Indian Watch

Poopie. The streak has ended. Later

Well the 'no' part I understand because I don't want them to retire chief wahoo

In other developments, Tito Francona demonstrates that he's smarter than Yogi Berra by going with his back-end starter over pushing his ace on short rest in ALDS Game 1*.

Chad I'm sorry. I really have no idea, but I don't think I meant anything against you. Just one of my brain farts :(

No worries. I didn't take it personally.
