The Indians used their pitching staff shittily in Games 5 and 6, then the arms Francona refused to put in during those games after they carried him to that point collapsed in Game 7. That's p. much karma.

Atomizer posted:The big problem was trying to rely on his core pitchers (Kluber, Miller, Allen, etc.) through many appearances and short rest, and hoping it didn't come back to bite him in the rear end. It did. Whoops! Against any other team, however, it probably would've worked. Respect, Cleveland. The overreliance on Bauer/Tomlin was what came back to bite the Indians in the rear end. Sending both guys out there on short rest (especially Bauer who was bad all postseason) while not being ready to pull them if trouble hit was such a bad move, and you can't do that when you're the worse team. The Cubs were the much better team and actually played to win 4 out of 7, while the Indians played to win 3 and then hope to steal a 4th. It almost worked, but it shouldn't have and it didn't. Congrats, you deserved the win.

For the record I love Francona and think he did a fantastic, beyond perfect job until Game 5 (and has done a great job for years) and I love him and hope he stays manager for years and years as do the players, but I am really sad like I was in 1997 except now I'm an adult so I try to analyze what we could have done differently instead of crying like a baby into mommy's arms to handle World Series sadness.
