The Cleveland Indians haven't won a World Series since 1948.

But with a 2-0 lead on the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series, Cleveland appears to have every intention of going back to the Fall Classic.

That winning spirit seems to have rubbed off on the Indians' Twitter account too.

Blue Jays' slugger Jose Bautista made some outlandishly vague comments — per Mike Vorkunov — implying that certain "circumstances" have helped the Indians succeed.

Bautista refused to elaborate on those "circumstances."

But then, in incredibly snarky fashion, the Indians' Twitter account swung back.

The "circumstances," according to the Indians, come in the form of dominant pitching, which Cory Kluber, Andrew Miller, Cody Allen and Josh Tomlin have provided. The Indians allowed only one run in the series' first two games.

Bautista was 0-for-6 with five strikeouts entering Game 3 on Monday.

But hey, "circumstances" happen, right?
