FiveThirtyEight gives the Cleveland Indians a 10 percent chance of breaking the record for the longest winning streak in MLB history -- a 26-game streak set by the New York Giants in 1916.
The Indians have 15 games left this season with their streak standing at 22 after Thursday night's win over the Royals. Could they make this a 37-game winning streak?
Of course that’s unlikely, but they're not scheduled to face a starting pitcher the rest of the season who would immediately make you think the Indians won't win that game.
The 15 starting pitchers that Cleveland is expected to face have combined for a 4.65 ERA this season, which would rank 49th out of 65 qualified starters this year.
Consider:
The Indians are scheduled to face just three starters with an ERA of less than 4.00 (and one of those is Lucas Giolito, who has made five starts this season).
They are scheduled to face five starters with an ERA of more than 5.00 (and two of those have an ERA at 6.00 or higher).
Cleveland is likely to face Ricky Nolasco, who has allowed the third most home runs in the majors this season (34).
The 15 starters have allowed a .788 OPS this season. That's the same OPS that the Padres' Wil Myers has this year.
The 15 starters have allowed a home run every 26 at-bats. That is about the same rate that Corey Seager and Nomar Mazara have this season.

That 26-game winning streak by the 1916 Giants is quite controversial. Why? Because there was a tie in the middle of the winning streak. The Giants won 12 straight games, played a tie, then won 14 straight games. The tie was played on September 18, 1916, between the New York Giants and the Pittsburgh Pirates at the Polo Grounds. It was the second game of a doubleheader. The game was paused by a rain delay with the score tied 1-1 in the top of the ninth. By time the rain stopped, it was too dark to play. Remember, ballparks didn't have lights back then. It wasn't until 1935 that MLB played its first game at night. Per the rules of the era, games that were unable to be completed due to weather or darkness were to be replayed the following day, schedule permitting. The tie did not count in the standings, though the individual player stats from the game counted. Here's the box score. The Giants and Pirates replayed the game as part of a doubleheader the next day, and the Giants won.

it was the journey of Sean Connery trying to sound like anything but Sean Connery
No, he called CMart back from the dugout after strike 3 to face another pitch.

How entitled can you get?

I personally think it was some false-flag shit done by pieces of shit to try and make baseball fans and boston fans in general look bad.
Anthony Miller
>Left Field But Contreras is a catcher
Aaron Sullivan
CMart walked to the dugout. He knew it was a strike too.
Hudson Reed
the internet is amazing =O
it's like we're on the field, with Contreras, striking out with a B list celebrity
Daniel Powell
she's some dumb whore, and maybe she only saw one pic and it was of one of few games he was in left.
or she might actually being making a decent joking in saying he should stick to catching and not be playing her field
Luke James
*thought
Either way it's no reason to lose your cool to the extent he did, just get the guy out and finish the at-bat. Reminds me of Alou blaming Bartman even though it was the Cubs who fucked everything up after that.
Ayden Gray
Boston in general is bad. Mever forget Adam Jones.
Juan Collins
>UQS Honestly, that should be the definition of a quality start these days. And I agree to your terms.

Remember Adam Jones, BAJP Remember, always remember.
