DEAD! Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 The clock has struck midnight on the Cleveland Indians. Game 7 is nothing but a formality. It was a nice run.It WAS a nice run? There's still a game 7! Heck, the game isn't even close to finishing yet. You sound like Swiss after game 4 with the Indians leading 3 games to 1. I saw, I came, I left.

Burning River Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I'll say the clock struck midnight for Game 6. Well see about Game 7. I thought the Indians would have a better chance tonight. I do think the strike zone is a bit "iffy". Still, if you don't hit your spots, you will not get the benefit. But, watch... It'll be Westbrook and Byrd giving the Sox fits. Yet, they walk (literally) all over Sabathia and Carmona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Schilling hasn't looked great or dominant but he's made pitches when he's needed to. I'm not sure if it's the Indians bailing him out or Schilling just making the pitches but if it's the former, the Indians better correct that problem quick. Carmona obviously looked absolutely awful -- 63 pitches thrown... 33 strikes. That's not going to get it done against any team, certainly not one as patient as the Red Sox hitters. This lineup is a whole different monster in Fenway, and the Red Sox have all sorts of momentum going into game 7 (if necessary, obviously).

Yet, they walk (literally) all over Sabathia and Carmona.An "iffy" strike zone is more of a factor in a game that's not 10-1. Unfortunately, this seems like one of those situations that shifts the momentum so thoroughly, that the Indians can't recover, and Game 7 might just be a formality. Shame, too, because I was looking forward to Fox being stuck with a Rockies/Indians series, and Boston fans having to shut up for awhile.....at least until tomorrow after the Pats game.

This is historically a situation where the Indians fold. But, this is a situation where historically the Red Sox...um....fold too?Wow, yeah. Game 7 really should be interesting tonight. 2 franchises that are known for folding in these types of situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infrared41 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Despite every reason not to be, I am feeling pretty good going into tonight's game. Hopefully all my doomsday predictions will be way off base. This is one time when I will gladly look like an idiot. (most other times I look like an idiot too but I'm not so chipper about it.)I just can't help it, I have a good feeling about tonight. Why? I have no idea but I do.Go Tribe.

See Red Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Cleveland needs somebody up in the pen. It's pretty obvious so far that Westbrook doesn't have it... they're lucky the damage isn't worse so far. Dice-K looks good... but he tends to have one bad inning in every start so we'll see. Double plays have killed the Red Sox in this series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Red Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Dice-K's losing it. And all the offense knows how to do is squander opportunities. 3-1 Red Sox still, but the Indians are threatening.edit: 3-2.Better 3-2 than 3-3 but I'm still nervous as hell here. Offense needs to put a few runs up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audiodrama Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Nervous as all hell right now. If I see Dice-K on the mound in the sixth, I'm gonna throw a fit. And while Okajima would be a welcome change on the mound, I'd still rather see Beckett out there right now. He'd give you two solid innings then hand it to Papelbon for 8 and 9. No more messing around... Tito, give it to your horses.Edit: Not good at all that the 2-3-4 hitters in the Sox lineup just laid down in the fifth. Do NOT let Cleveland keep the momentum here.

I don't understand what's up with all the double plays... it's not that the middle of the Indians infield has played that great and turned balls that otherwise wouldn't be into double plays... it's ridiculous and it's cost the Sox 3 or 4 runs in this game.

See Red Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Okajima back out for the 7th. I then go Papelbon for two innings and if we need extra innings, Beckett until his arm falls off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
