Bautista is a POS, I hope they get swept outta here.

Also yes Cleveland is red hot, and not as amazing as they look right now, but Francona is leveraging their roster in the postseason to maximum effect. So in the postseason they may well be this good. I think they've ONLY had Miller, Shaw, Allen out of the bullpen and there is a weak underbelly waiting to be exposed if a starter really falters.

I'm not sure why they are leaving a AAA starter potentially starting a game 5 at 2-2... this series can turn on a dime in one huge inning for Toronto

If a starter really falters, that weak underbelly wouldn't be tasked with a high-risk situation

Well, that would mean they're pitching Kluber in game 4 in their best attempt to avoid going 2-2.

Earlier in the pre-game, referring to the ado about Bautista and the Indians, Pedro split up the two games, saying that the Jays had a point about game one, that Laz Diaz was terrible, but not game two. (I forget the name of the game two ump.) And as for JB's remarks tonight saying he wasn't complaining, isn't there an effort not to offend the upcoming home-plate umpires?

I wonder why the guy who sang the anthem in Chicago for game one was so terrible. I don't believe Theo chose him.

It absolutely could have been but you aren't playing Bautista in RF to play defense.
Ok I just saw the lineup, I guess you are playing him to get on base and steal some bases like a typical leadoff hitter.

Take him out and pitch him in Game 5?

Although I would personally bring in Kluber in 5.

Otero has pitched 1 IP this postseason. No one else other than the Big 3.

Just need the scrubs to pitch 4 1/3
Then Shaw for 6, Miller for 7-8, and Allen for 9.
