"...“We've talked about not just Game 4 but Games 3, 5, 6 and 7, because there's a little bit of ambiguity there, with Trevor and his finger, and with Clevinger not being stretched out,” Francona said before Saturday’s Game 2. “So there are some options I think for us moving forward. ..."

"...He, Kluber, said he’s open to anything. If he pitches Game 4, he also would be in line to start Game 7 next Saturday on short rest. ..."

http://www.bcsn.tv/news_article/show/709572
Francona didn't say anything about a concern that if he held Kluber for game 5 and normal rest for the best chance for him to be most effective, that the Indians would sweep it in game 4 and that would give Kluber 10 days days straight of rest to get stale and not sharp for the World Series, did he?

I don't know. Cliff was routinely 91-92 and could hit 93. This guy hasn't hit 90 yet today I don't think and he's like 24. He's not going to develop that at this point.

There's no real doubt that the Indians are winning Game 5. Last game was a fluke, this game should be fairly straight forward in a win.

Also Go Tribe and fuck you, Joey Bats!
My good luck shirt that hasn't lost a playoff game until yesterday was finally retired.

Looks like this one is over already. At least Jays fans can leave early and beat the traffic......

"Get this kid a Merritt badge"....TBS is just the worst.

It'll be interesting to see the adjustments the 2nd time through the lineup. Also to see if Tito lets them see him a 3rd time in the game

If they keep wailing desperately at every pitch near the zone it's an easy call for the catcher.

They need to work him. He's a rookie on the road in the postseason...terrible plan by Jays
