Looks like Ross is hoping for the "revenge" factor to come into play with Kipnis in the lineup right away for tonight.

Kipnis should be starting every day at 2B, against RHP at the very least.

Lester continues to mystify them at 87-89 MPH.  Maybe he's successfully transitioning into his career endgame as a lefty Hendricks.

Perez has certainly evolved into an entertaining pitcher.

He has also aged about two decades since the last time I saw him.

Happ is the real deal.

Is Kipnis really much this year or just getting favorable matchups.

First game this season that Tribe has given up more than four runs.

6 good innings from Lester, that'll be a wrap from him.

Finding them is not evidently the problem.

Rea continues to look like a keeper, hit 96 against Lindor.

In the bottom of the ninth, Naquin hits a slow grounder to Bryant much like the one that ended the 2016 World Series, and this time Bryant flubs it; Indians have two men on with two outs to go.

Rea gets the last outs; Cubs are 11-3 and have a giant lead in the Central, with the Cardinals way back in the win column.
