Down to our last out...

Down to our last strike.....

Nope. Nothing. Nada. NO runs scored. NOT a good time for the offense to disappear!

Shit

Thought we were going to get to Chapman. He had the Jose Mesa sweat going.

Miller is not the sure thing he was last year, either.

Trevor Bauer will start Game 4

From July 26, 1989. This is a photo from the Plain Dealer that shows me cheering wildly as Felix Fermin enters the dugout after scoring on a double by Pete O'Brien in the 8th inning. The Indians rallied to beat the Yankees, 9-7, that night. If we don't win tonight, I will be watching the same teams play on Wednesday. But I hope we can seal the deal tonight!

Conditions won't be the best tonight.

Any predictions for tonight's game? Will the Tribe wrap it up, or will I be at a game on Wednesday?

Few quick hits from Hoynsie ...

1. Manager Terry Francona said outfielder Brandon Guyer (right wrist) and right-hander Adam Plutko (hip) will undergo surgery.

2. Francona said Edwin Encarnacion (right ankle) may be available to pinch hit Monday night.

3. The Indians, if they advance to the ALCS, believe Encarnacion will be available. If they felt otherwise, they would have replaced him on the ALDS roster.

4. In the eighth inning Sunday night, Francona met Michael Brantley behind home plate before replacing him with a pinch-runner. He wanted to see if Brantley felt he could steal second base against lefty Aroldis Chapman, who was coming into the game after Brantley drew a walk against David Robertson.

Brantley, playing on a sore right ankle, said he wasn't sure so Francona replaced him with Greg Allen.

"I didn't want to put himself in a position where he had to score from first on a double and he can't," said Francona.

No predictions. But I will say one thing I’ve learned about this team the last 2 years is that they don’t like losing at all and often show it the next game.

Then again, no Edwin which definitely affects how opposing pitchers view the lineup. So time will tell.....
