Live Thread: Cavs vs Magic
2016-10-29
Another day in sports paradise for us Cleveland fans: the 2-0 World Champion Cavaliers host the Magic on the second night of a back-to-back, while Cory Kluber takes the mound in game four of the world series. Meanwhile, the Buckeyes eked out a 24-20 win against Northwestern.
The Cavs are without Frye, who is on leave due to the death of his mother, while Bismack Biyambo is suspended for this game. Let the sporting and commenting commerce.
IS KLUTCH GOING TO BECOME FRANKIE LINDOR ‘S AGENT –MAN THAT KID HAS SUPERSTAR WRITTEN ALL OVER HIM !!—-GO TRIBE —BREAK THE 141 DAY DRY SPELL
Tickets for the Game 5 watch party are sold out. Also, @cavsdan weighed in:
Per ESPN, Kluber’s 0.89 ERA in his first five postseason starts is second only to Christy Mathewson.
Yep… Didn’t see MadBum on that list btw…
TRIBE WINS!
The Indians have a 3 games to 1 lead in the World Series for the first time since…1948.
I do kinda hate the whole 3-1 thing tho…
Yeah, I know. But the 1948 precedent is an auspicious one.
I think Miller’s last two Ks sets the relief pitcher strikeout record for the playoffs
Wow… I guess Miller is human after all… Couldn’t be a better situation to give up a run though…

They look too uptight. Gotta loosen up!

WOOO!!!! Nice HR by the Indians! And nice grind at the end of the game for the Cavs…. Agree with you EG and NOMAD, not sure why Felder didn’t get a few more minutes in the 2nd half??? I put the 2nd half struggle on Lue. Back to back… heavy legs led to poor shooting…. use the backups!!! I think he could bought 5 minutes from Liggins or McRae or Champ even. JR saved the day for sure!!!
Starting to see some empty seats at Wrigley.
THE JK KID BLOWS IT OPEN! With family and friends in the stands!
THE JK KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In hindsight, it’s good Kluber got the start on short rest in the ALCS to learn how to manage it. He was ok then but much sharper tonight.
When they interviewed him… he said as much. And only 81 pitches in 6 innings tonight. Should be ready for Game 7 (if necessary)
Klubes is the Series MVP as of now
It’s him or Miller… depending on how things go…
Runners at the corners NOBODY OUT!!
Don’t know how Davis avoided that first pitch.
it’s a good thing he did because it’s a dead ball – runner wouldn’t have advanced
It’s also a good thing he had that elbow guard on for the second one…
Klubes = Ace of the 2016 Playoffs
He’s been as dominant as any starter I’ve seen in the postseason.
Things are set up for the bullpen relay whenever Francona wants to go to it. I’d bet Kluber is done tonight in case he’s needed for Game 7. (Plus he’s scheduled to lead off the 7th.)
KLUBER THRU 6—MIGHT BE ALL FOR HIM——SPURS BROUGHT “A.D. ‘ DOWN TO EARTH–18 PTS —POP TOOK THAT AS A PERSONAL CHALLENGE
KLUBER! JRAM! AWESOME!!
KLUUUUUUUUUUUUB!!
DELLY WITH 14 PTS / 9 ASSISTS —JUST SAYING ……MAYBE THAT 40 MILLION COULD HAVE BEEN USED DIFFERENTLY—HINDSIGHT / FORESIGHT —- WE SHALL SEE WHAT THE ENTIRE SAESON UNFOLDS
He’s doing well on my fantasy team… ;)
Sure would be nice if Delly got Shump’s money
We don’t really need to see A-Rod’s mug while the game is going on.
Or ever…
Surprised that Miller called ARod a good team mate
CAVS ROLLING
Gave up a lot of points in the fourth, but still got the win and the starters didn’t play a ton of minutes to get it done…
EVIL AGREE WITH YOU ON MORE PLAYING TIME FOR KILLER SHRIMP —JUST DON’T KNOW IF TY IS GOING TO ALLOW IT TO HAPPEN
I mean, it probably doesn’t really matter… I just like the kid….
JR EARNING HIS CONTRACT —LOVING IT —-MAN CAN’T BELIEVE THE TRIBE HAS TOTALLY SILENCED THAT CUBS CROWD —-GO TRIBE !!!
TRIBE SCORES ANOTHER… UP 4-1!!
JR again. A trio of treys down the stretch.
JR FREAKING SWISH!!!

SO YOU THINK THE ” AMICO HOOPS ” RUMOR MIGHT COME TRUE THIS WEEKEND —TRADE FOR A BACK UP PT GD—-THINK THEY DON’T BELIEVE THEY HAVE CONFIDENCE IN EITHER SHUMP OR FELDER AS BACK UP PT GD ‘S/ JUST MY OPINION —KNOW IT IS REALLY EARLY IN THE SEASON ASLO
I’d like to see more KShrimp to be honest… he looked good in limited run tonight…
KLove fouls out on very suspect call where Ibaka probably should have been called…
https://vine.co/v/5p1b1elXHBL
LOVE IT EVIL !!
Wow! Santana just hit the glove right off of Montgomery’s hand!
Slamtana ripped the pitcher’s glove off.
LEBRON JAMES!
https://vine.co/v/MFWZahKIQAj
JR AGAIN!!
https://vine.co/v/5p1ArnHPPuQ
Kluber gets three outs on six pitches in the 5th to hold the 2-run lead. Pitch count 72. Should come back out for the 6th.
And hopefully the 7th as well…
JR! Just when you need him!
https://vine.co/v/5p1AajZWKPp
CORY THRU 5 —COULD BE MILLER TIME SOON —IF CORY GETS IN TROUBLE OR THEY ARE WATCHING HIS PITCH COUNT FOR POTENTIAL GAME 7
I’d bet one more inning if Kluber doesn’t get into trouble. If someone gets on, Francona may go right to Miller.
Lid on the basket right now…
RJ can’t guard Augustin…
Biyombo is kind of a creep…
Cavs can’t seem to score this quarter…
Kluber is through 4 innings up 3-1, with pitch count at 66.
KLUBER!!
Jon Hamm has to be pulling for the Tribe, right? He’s a hard-core St. Louis fan. Cardinals-Cubs is like Red Sox-Yankees.
WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH KY / SHUMP CONVERSATION ON THE BENCH —LOOKED LIKE KY SOMEWHAT FRUSTRATED WITH SHUMP /
Ok, everybody can breathe again…
Whew… Kluber hanging tough!
Kyrie Irving man..
TEND TO AGREE WITH YOU EVIL ON YOUR BROWNS PICK TO WIN TOMOROW WITH ‘COOL HAND LUKE ” AT Q.B
Browns are due and McCown can get it downfield to the weapons…
Bron just jacking up threes for fun now and still executing CDBs… awesome!
C’mon Corey another zero
Kyriediculous!
https://vine.co/v/5pJEK9rnm69
KLove being super active underneath tonight…
I imagine that Vogel ripped his guys at halftime about the defense…
LINDOR! Scores Kip from second!
Vogel looks like he has already regretted taking the Orlando job. If Aaron Gordon does not make a huge leap in shooting and playmaking, which he probably won’t, this team is going nowhere.
Kipnis doubles to start the third! Maddon has to be getting bullpen up soon…
