Look at this way: at least the Indians can’t blow a big series lead this time.
With tonight’s 7-2 loss to the Houston Astros, the Tribe are staring at an uphill battle to reach their second American League Championship in three years. It’s certainly not an unclimbable hill — more like a Tall’s Hill sized hill — and it might not exist at all if some things went differently tonight.
Well, to clarify, if everything went differently tonight.
It’s not often you get a game that was so clearly bungled in so many ways from the get-go like this one.
