was he designated as the high-leverage fireman before the series?

the second one (marwin double) was 4.22 feet off the ground and, based on launch angle/velocity, had an 8% chance of being a hit

tbf, it was also ball four with the bases loaded in a 3-1 count

Happy Indigenous Peoples' Day, Trevor Bauer.

Pretty much. He was either going to be game 4 starter or coming out of the bullpen. Since the series went to hell, he's coming out of the bullpen.

indians aren't that good, but houston is fearsome

in their now-completed ALDS, the Indians batted .144/.196/.222. over the history of all completed playoff series, that is the:

fourth-worst average
fifth-worst OBP
eighth-worst OPS

They went 30-36 against AL West and AL East teams

I couldn't have been more wrong in my prediction for this series. Cleveland never bothered showing up.

Lindor made a brief appearance. The bullpen stayed home. Kluber, for some reason, cannot pitch in the postseason.

The Donaldson trade definitely hurt the Indians. He had nothing to offer at the plate at all.

Indians have lost 9 straight potential elimination games, the longest streak in MLB postseason history.

I think Oakland are right behind them.

It wasn't even the worst OPS in a division series in 2018!
