I also believe it is going to be a battle.

Go Indians!

Losing double EE did not help as that is a huge bat out of the lineup and a guy who scares pitchers.
Surprised to see him jogging yesterday so I am guessing he may see some limited action tonight?

I actually wanted the Yankees. The Yankees haven't so much beaten the Indians as the Indians have beaten themselves. They had 6 unearned runs the other day - 6! They're also being very impatient at the plate and pressing big time. These aren't Tito Francona-managed team characteristics. Tito kept things loose around the clubhouse yesterday, and I think we'll be fine tonight. Keep in mind the Indians got to CC for 3 runs, but the Yankees haven't seen the real Kluber yet. Assuming (praying, too) that the real Kluber shows up, it should be a fun night tonight for all Indians fans and Yankees haters alike.

EE will be in the lineup tonight I think. He was only listed as day-to-day since his injury on Friday, and everything I've heard is he's fine to play. He won't be much on the base paths, but he wasn't much to begin with.

If we can plate a couple runs within the first 3 innings, I like our chances.
