[CokenoPepsi]

Did not see that coming

 

[Blitzkrug]

Was not expecting Skubal to implode like that...

Thomas just made that trade.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Cleveland burning through its pen. Yankees and their fans nodding in approval.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Carpenter up as the go ahead run...

Got him on the high heater!

 

[BobColesNasalCavity]

Should be ball game. Tigers needed to get more than a run back there with the bases juiced.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

This game is over, Detroit wins

Cleveland burning through its pen. Yankees and their fans nodding in approval.

Yankees favorites whoever they play but there no question Cleveland poses a much bigger threat

 

[Reality Check]

Skubal was due at some point. Tigers had their opportunity in game 4 and just couldn't lock it down.

The three teams currently in the championship series are in the top 5 for payroll. Not like they have a ton of options.

He did not exactly blow up the AL Central in season. I saw some people saying the more looks the Guardians got at him this series they'd eventually hit him

 

[JWK]

That movement on the pitch, holy hell. Will be on pitchingninja soon.

 

[GKJ]

That guy is bringing it for someone that’s not relied on.

Anyone who thought he was going to duplicate his last performance was kidding themselves. Especially against a divisional rival.

Still have no complaints here. This team had a literal zero percent chance at the playoffs months ago and still has an outside chance of making the ALCS. All as one of the youngest teams in the league.

 

[canucksfan]

Jose Ramirez is so good.

 

[BMOK33]

Its gonna be a true lose/lose for Mets fans if they make the WS. Lose to your crosstown rival or lose to a team who has not won a WS in like 120 years

 

[GKJ]

I’m not doing Clase for 6 outs with a 3 run lead unless guys get on.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Clase is in session.

 

[Jack Straw]

Would love to see Cleveland win it all.

 

[BMOK33]

Would love to see Cleveland win it all.

I don't see a team that reliant on their pen holding up that long

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Hats off to the Tigers - one hell of a run to get this far off.

If Judge stays ice cold maybe the Guardians can win that ALCS.

 

[Reality Check]

Cleveland's bullpen has been good all season.

They are going to face a bigger challenge as Detroit's offense has struggled all season. Yankees should have more success but who knows.

Both franchises have also gagged more often than not.

 

[CokenoPepsi]

Cleveland is better than KC...IF Judge doesn't get it going the Yankees could be in trouble

 

[SoupNazi]

Guards in 5

This man had it.

As Lane Thomas' punctuating grand slam was sailing into the left-field bleachers on Saturday afternoon, Guardians fan Matt Coleman saw it all the way through and into the glove that he borrowed from his son earlier in the day.

And with zero hesitation, the Progressive Field season-ticket holder immediately handed the keepsake to the fellow superfan to his right.

A full 30 minutes after that moment, Patrick Steyer -- Coleman’s second cousin -- was still brimming with joy as he showed off the sparkling souvenir.

Steyer, 37, is less than two years removed from being diagnosed with leukemia, a cancer from which he’s since reached remission. But it has limited his mobility. He will occasionally use a walk-assisting device, but with elevated foot traffic due to a sellout crowd of 34,105 for Game 5, he was in a wheelchair.

Steyer hadn’t attended a Guards game since before the pandemic, making Saturday’s special moment that much sweeter.

“He’s the most positive person I’ve ever met,” Coleman said of Steyer. “He’s fought through the challenges and downs, and when he beat leukemia this past year, I told him that once he got through it and was able to be well enough to go to a game, we were going to get up here.
Today is all about him and his positivity. There’s so much negativity in the world, and I couldn’t think of a more positive person to bring today.”

 

[MVP of West Hollywd]

Tigers left too many on base but put up a great fight overall. Eli Morgan closing out that inning was huge for Cleveland with them battling to have enough relievers all night.
