Elvis Andrus said the Guardians would eventually crumble. AJ Pollock - after last night’s loss - said “let’s see what they feel like when you get a little closer and feel us.” The White Sox just never took Cleveland seriously, and it’s showing in this series.

The White Sox have spent the bulk of the season essentially saying “just wait until we get our act together.” By the time they finally did, they found out they gave the Guardians way too much time to become an extremely confident team.
