Tito Francona addressed what it would take for the Indians to win three games in a row, like the Red Sox did in 2004 to come back against the Yankees: “I think the best thing to do is keep it in small samples, because it kind of seems daunting to, man, you’ve got to beat them three in a row when they’ve kind of had their way with us the first two.
When you just put it in a smaller sample, let’s try to win today, we can do it. We’ve done that plenty this year. We can do that. That’s probably the best way to go about it.
Then if you do that well enough, then you look up a few days from now, somebody’s saying, wow, what made the team so special that they could do that?”
