To appreciate the significance of Cleveland's sweep over the Red Sox ...

consider that they did it with their starting #2 pitcher and starting #3 pitcher on the DL (plus having a starting catcher fresh off the DL with limited game rehab). Takes a deep starting staff and bullpen to shut down Ortiz, Pedroia, Ramirez, Bogaerts, etc.

That same staff swept K.C. at season's end to win home field advantage over the Sox too.

#3 starting pitcher Danny Salazar, recovering from forearm tightness, might be available to pitch out of the bullpen versus the Blue Jays.

I agree. Cleveland played well, Tito did a fine job, and they deserved the win. hughee99 Oct 2016 #2

And I hope the Indians or the Cubs win the WS this year.

Tito was superb in his coaching and I am sure he really enjoyed getting the sweep in Fenway. Oh well, I think I've never enjoyed such an exciting group of RS players since Lynn, Rice, and Evans were patrolling the outfield in Fenway. Already looking forward to next year!
