You figure using the same three relievers every game is going to catch up to you.
-
I have no idea who some of these Brewers are. Robert gasser? They’re just making up people now.
-
Can’t believe Peralta is the same dude that pitched for the Mets this year. Cant believe the Guardians are the same team we swept after the ASB.
-
lol. The bobbleheads are busty. I just read she’s 58. Good for her. I’ll tell you. 58 doesn’t look like it used to.
-
Cleveland Milwaukee World Series would be amazing.
-
Ridiculous we are being subjected to owner propaganda during the commercials. There is no bottom.
-
Brewers looking good. Need one of the next two.
-
I’ll take the under on that.
-
6 outs. The Dodgers seem less dangerous with Ohtani struggling. Is he hurt? Crazy to see him so punchless.
-
Big hit for Contreras. Brewers 9 outs to get.
-
Brewers leave them loaded in the 5th. Frelick takes a called strike 3. hopefully they don’t regret that later.
-
Even within the playoffs. They can eliminate many of the off days to make it better mirror the regular season.
-
Anyway. Back to the point. The dodgers are the only bad guys left. So long as any of the other three win I’m totally fine with it.
-
Oh duh. It was the first series of 2024. They swept us at home to start our losing streak.
-
I feel like the Brewers always beat us. Especially in Milwaukee. I know we won in the 2024 WC, but it took a miracle HR to beat them. Plus the regular season games that nearly knocked us out the week before. I feel like they had done that before, because that weekend I remember thinking “not this again”. The 2025 series where they swept us. Marte thrown out at the plate. Manaea gives up that big lead. I hate that building.

My argument isn’t that it was ok to call the team Indians because no one objected. Obviously objectifying and stereotyping an entire race of people is wrong and it should never have happened. My feeling is that there is no shame for the Indians owners and fans in failing to recognize something that was not understood at the time. Throughout their rich history, the fans developed an affection for that nickname. They didn’t do anything wrong. I’m sure many of them even understood the problematic nature of it. But sports are funny. You love it anyway. I wish these fans could have gotten closure on the curse. If I was writing the script, I would have broken the curse as the Indians and then moved forward with a new chapter as the Guardians.
-
I find it very counterintuitive to root for the Brewers. I’m thrilled they won. But watching I find myself wishing Misiorowski would get hit until I remind myself that the Dodgers are hitting.
-
Also. I have no idea why the Braves or Chiefs are allowed to keep the nickname. I get that Indians and Redskins are worse, but I feel like this should be a clean sweep type of issue.
-
And it’s silly to assert that the pride of a championship is not diminished by a nickname. If Cohen sold the naming rights next year and we became the NY DraftKings, we’d celebrate a championship in 2027 but there would be tons of regret that it couldn’t be the Mets.
-
The choice of name was not shameful. The Indians were born in 1915, long before anyone considered it disrespectful or offensive. The racist caricature Chief Wahoo didn’t come into existence until decades later. Maybe you can argue that the shameful part of their history starts there. Certainly by the time the protests began in the 1970’s. Obviously its crazy that it took 50 years to finally effectuate the change. Still, I find it hard to apply modern ethical standards to periods of time where none of this was ever a thought. And I don’t think that the franchise should be ashamed that they were the Indians. There was a long period of time where they carried the name without a hint of controversy. The shame is that it took them 50 years to change after the affected groups started voicing their concerns. In any case, the name “Indians” meant something special to a lot of well-intended folks. It would have been nice for them to break the curse before changing the name. Just an opinion. Your mileage may vary.
-
The history behind the name. I was rooting for the Indians to break the curse a few times they made it. im sure the fans won’t be complaining whatever the team name is if it happens, but I think it would have been special to declare the Indians world champions again.
-
Why would they pull Skubal after 5? strange.
-
I know why they did it and fully agree with it. But I wish they could have been the Indians when they break that curse.
-
The answer is keep 162 and go back to one wild card. But owners will never allow that. Or go back to two WC. They play Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, with the DS starting Thursday. Fewer off days within the postseason to better replicate the regular season.

Watched a few innings last night. Thank god the Rays beat the Yankees. Neither of these clubs would have had a chance.
