Cleveland fans suddenly happy there was no primetime games in this series. Less embarrassment.

The Indians were 39-18 against CHW/DET/KC (combined .379) and 52-53 against everyone else

Brock Holt completes the cycle by hitting a dinger off a position player. *.

That's the first postseason cycle, ever.

Is Luis Severino rapidly becoming the David Price of the Yankees, last week's wildcard performance notwithstanding?

Even during that WCG, to be honest. Even though we struggled to hit him, dude utterly lost his command and wound up walking a bunch of guys. If we didn't whiff with the bases loaded we may be talking about a totally different game.

I forgot about all those walks. I just remember the Ks. :D So yeah, put him down as early heir to the David Price throne...

Weird thing last night was that, prior to the Holt cycle-completing home run with the backup catcher on the mound, the Red Sox had scored 14 runs without a single dinger.

Having done a good job babying his pitching staff up to now I hope Cora lets his starters go deeper into the game because there's nobody in the Sox bullpen that I trust, including Kimbrel. Obviously you're stuck with him as closer but for the rest of them its a crap shoot whenever they enter the game. I'd rather have Sale pitching the 6th and 7th inning than Kelly or Hembree to name a few.

I'm going to trust Cora on this one. Up to this point, all his intuitions have been good. Last night, I was very uncomfortable when he brought in Barnes, but I had to admit that the Yankees were starting to get to Porcello, who's prone to gopher balls against a gopher ball hitting team, and the top of the order was coming up for the dreaded third time through the order. The previous night, he left Eovaldi in, but the Yankees showed no signs of getting to him. He also pulled Price early, the bullpen did a good job (contrary to the disaster in game 1), and the game was within reach until the Sanchez moon shot.

Aaron Boone is getting reamed in the New York papers for leaving in Severino and Sabbathia for too long.

I trust him too, but I'm worried about the Astros seeing Barnes, Kelly, etc 4 times in a series. If they do I think they're going to tee off on them.

Didi Gregorious will undergo TJS, hopes to be back sometime next season.

Manny Machado, line 1. Manny Machado, line 1 please.
