Probably Tito has planned backwards from the final out the match ups and pitchers he wants to use and how many outs/specific batters to allocate to each pitcher. Then once Tomlin got within range the plan was not to give in to Bautista and bring in Shaw.

So, now I'm really thinking about the commercials.

Cat Stevens/Yusef Islam is an interesting choice for Jeep in a commercial about unity and ending divisiveness. Is it deliberate to use a controversial figure or do maybe they not know about the Salman Rushdie thing?

He works cheap. It was him or The Sweet

this Miller guy is pretty good

let's get some runs so Tito can take him out next half inning and not Proctor him before game 3.

I'm actually surprised shaw only got one out. Maybe the plan is to have Miller get one or two in the 8th and then have Allen finish it from there.

Always good to get people who used to be on the no fly list to sell non-airplane travel.

Wow, I'd totally forgotten about that. I guess they figure their audience is a lot like me. Though I wouldn't buy a Jeep.

In tomorrow's Cafardo column, he speaks to the guy who claims credit for setting Miller onto the path that he's on today ... from becoming a reliever to having him ditch the windup

Disappointing outing by Miller - he let a batter put a ball in play. Only 10 of his 11 outs this series have come via K.

In an alternate timeline, Lester and Miller are leading the Sox to their 4th championship while Price is continuing his postseason suck with the Cubs.

Baseball is an amazing game. If Cleveland gets three outs here, they have a commanding lead. If Toronto gets a run here, they have the upper hand in the game of bullpens and a win probably shifts the series win likelihood to them.

This feels a little like '90. Ohio team surprising people. Great manager who knows how to use a 3 prong bullpen dragon, Kipnis channeling Larkin, Kluber channeling Rijo, and some other similarities.

Ridiculous.
