    Yeah, I was pulling something for them.

    Pulling for them to do what?

    All the little kids in Seattle that are crying tonight, shame on your parents for letting you stay up this late. It's over.

    I was pulling for the Indians to keep winning... I don't think it makes much difference come playoff time. I am far more concerned with the Astros health and seeing key guys like Lance and Harris perform well.

    The Indians win it last year with better health.... especially after seeing Marisnick go down and McCullers having arm fatigue, I mostly want to get into the post season healthy and hopefully with the pen not imploding and Lance and Dallas healthy and pitching well.

    Oh, come on, you don't know that - maybe if they have all their guys, they lose in 5 to the Cubs.

    On another note, Harris has not looked good lately. Give 'em the hook with one more hit.

    Anything is possible, but I am pretty confident the Indians win that series without key injuries.

    Harris hasn't looked good. We need him to be the old Harris.

    Didn't the manager of the Major League "Indians" die this year?, I cannot remember his name, but he was a solid actor.

    I would root for Cleveland for that reason alone, but unless they're playing the Stros it doesn't matter until the playoffs start.

    Shades of 2015 for Harris... his lack of elite K abilities in part is what led to the Giles trade.

    Why is Harris an All-Star in the first half, and then he flames out in Aug/Sept?

    This is not a new development.

    In an interview, Strom said that most of the time, he doesn't really say much specifically. Most of it is to just give them a few extra seconds.

    Yeah.... I believe this is the third time he has struggled down the stretch. After awhile you start to think it is a theme.

    Again, very little harm done. Good job getting out of it, Harris.
