All eyes, at least in the sports world, will be on Cleveland, Ohio tomorrow night. Game One of the 2016 World Series just so happens to fall on the night of the Cavaliers receiving their championship rings.

Terry Pluto, long-time sportswriter for the Akron Beacon Journal and now with the Plain Dealer, stopped in studio on the Ray Horner Morning Show. Terry spoke at length about how the Indians got to this point, from the moment the team hired Terry Francona to the day before the 2016 World Series. Pluto went into detail about Francona’s involvement in shaping the team, from the power bats to the analytical number crunchers.

Pluto has a new book out, his thirtieth, called The Comeback: LeBron, The Cavs & Cleveland. It is available in stores and on Amazon.

The first ALCS in nine years for the Indians is set to kick off Friday, and this time, the Tribe has the home field advantage.

Terry Pluto, author and long-time columnist for the Akron Beacon Journal and now the Plain Dealer, joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to talk about this run from Terry Francona’s Indians. Pluto discussed Tito’s managerial style and how the players have come to embrace it. Though Francona may not show it publicly, Pluto believes beating his former team in the ALDS was huge.

Onto the ALCS, Pluto calls the Blue Jays a “strange” team, in that not many believed Toronto would get this far. The Plain Dealer writer said the strength of the Blue Jays was not necessarily their power hitting, but their pitching, which had a lower ERA than the Indians.

Terry Pluto is an award-winning sportswriter and columnist with the Plain Dealer, and is known across the region for his thoughts and analysis of the Browns, Cavaliers, and Indians. But what may not widely known is his work with prison inmates and addicts in their paths to recovery. Pluto joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to discuss his experience in dealing with struggling or recovering addicts, specifically heroin. In the decades he has been meeting with these victims, Pluto has seen the growth of heroin in these communities, no matter the racial or socioeconomic background. He believes heroin is deadlier than crack cocaine.

The Cavaliers are looking to even the NBA Finals tonight at the Quicken Loans Arena against the Golden State Warriors with the same formula that notched them a 30-point win in Game 3 Wednesday.

Terry Pluto stopped by the Sam Bourquin Show on a "Feel Good Friday" to weigh in on the importance  of tonight's game at home.

"You certainly don't want to go to Golden State down 3-1," Pluto says.

Game 4 can be heard on 1590 WAKR with coverage beginning at 8:30.

It's finally here. The rematch is set as LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers take on the Golden State Warriors, led by Stephen Curry.

Terry Pluto from Cleveland.com joined the Sam Bourquin Show to talk about the game and weigh in on what the Wine and Gold is looking to do in the series in order to capture an NBA title. 

"I talked to Steve Kerr yesterday and he told me these Cavaliers are a completely different team than last year," Pluto said.  He also it was the coaching change from David Blatt to Tyronn Lue, and the contrast in coaching styles there.

 

Over in the Bay Area, Vern Glenn from KPIX out west, says that excitement in Dub Nation is at a fever pitch and the vibe from the Warriors team is focused and determined.

"They (Golden State) are acutely aware that the Cavaliers are at full strength," Glenn said. 

 

Could Believeland finally get its happy ending, or will a Cavaliers upset add to the misery? Time will tell.

Terry Pluto, best-selling author and columnist at the Plain Dealer, joined the Ray Horner Morning Show to chat about the goings on in Cleveland sports, both past and present. First, Pluto felt the Believeland 30 for 30 was just “okay.” He did echo Rich Heldenfels’s thoughts on the lack of female members of the Northeast Ohio press in the documentary, and that he didn’t need another reminder of of the misery since he was present for them, but Pluto was fine with the film overall.

Onto the present, Pluto chatted about the state of the Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference Finals. Pluto thinks the team has responded well to Tyronn Lue, claiming that the midseason firing of David Blatt “took the excuse away” from the players that, if they were to lose, they’d blame the coach. Other points of interest were the fiery jumpshooting from the Cavs, including the deadline move of bringing Channing Frye on board, whom GM David Griffin has been pursuing since 2009.
