Cleveland Indians: Breaking down the insanity in the ALDS Game 2 victory

The Cleveland Indians picked up a 2-0 series lead over the New York Yankees in the ALDS after a miraculous win filled with countless storylines.

Cleveland Indians fans are going throughout their Saturday in partial shock after last night’s insane game. Or maybe that’s just me and I’m projecting.

On a night when Corey Kluber struggled and Edwin Encarnacion left with an injury, the Indians did what they have done so often in 2017 and found a new, creative way to win.

A lot of the focus heading into the postseason was on the pitching, but all that focus disregarded just how great the offense has been all year. It seems like a new player steps up every single game, and that was the case last night when Yan Gomes sent Indians fans home happy with a walk-off hit down the third-base line.

It is fair to call the win a surprising one, yet it is hard to ever be too surprised with this group. No deficit is out of hand and nothing ever seems to go according to a conventional baseball plan.

The hit from Gomes finished things off, but so many crazy things happened before that point it is almost hard to remember them all.

This post goes through all those moments, starting with another play from Gomes that potentially won the game before his walk-off hit did.
