Sit Bauer. Win the next 2, start him in Game 5.

 

Or Win Monday and start him on Tuesday.

Pretty lofty

I don't pay much attention to baseball anymore. Were you guys expecting to lose the first two? Win? Split?

Sorry, but no. If Tito takes his best "bullet" (Bauer) out of the chamber and replaces it with rock salt (Clevinger) he's going to get lambasted and people will be calling for his head if they get swept. With their backs against the wall they have to put their best out there.

Huh? There is no chance Bauer is starting game 3. Clevinger for for.

This is what really sucks about baseball. It’s over so fucking fast. Now we wait 365 days for another meaningful game from the Tribe.

Bauer threw 16 pitches and will have 3 days rest. Tito is going to get a ton of flack if he leaves their best pitcher unused for most of this series.

Ok...but this was announced like 20 days ago lol. Unless he changes his mind tomorrow, Clevinger will pitch. They’ve literally been lining this up for the last 3 weeks of the year by skipping starts etc.

Yeah, I'm aware of this. Have known it was Kluber-Cookie-Clevinger then Bauer/Bieber. Tito's going to probably going to look like a fool not even giving Bauer a shot.

So disappointed in J-Ram. Dude just fell off the map. He & Kluber look like they are just regular season guys (no clutch).

looks like the Tribe has been officially 'forked', and also looks like the disappointment in J-Ram isn't mine alone

Finally get to watch a game with sound not on my phone. Wish it was 1-1. But if they win today and look solid doing it, they will suck my dumbass right back in.

Gotta think they're due. Too much talent to be 6 for 60.

Hasn't this happened with J-Ram the last two years? Came out of the gate on fire and fizzled down the stretch?

Bregman can get the IBB the rest of the series. Don’t care if the bases are loaded.
