Tonight is your boys' chance to break the streak; you think they're up to it?

If not, that bitch is rolling up to 25.

doubt it

even if we have a lead, the shitty bullpen will blow it

Severino/Kluber
Gray/Carrasco
Tanaka/Bauer
CC/??????
Severino/Kluber

Is Salazar still around?

Fuck me, this is all wrong with Severino going in the WC game

I'm kind of assuming they'd go with a three man rotation, so it'd be:

Kluber
Carrasco
Bauer
Kluber

Salazar is off the DL, shit the bed in his first start back and then they brought him out of the bullpen a few days ago, so I don't know what the plan is.

After the top three, there's plenty of options. Clevinger, Salazar, Tomlin, Merritt.

Not saying it would go 5, but typically in those series, you always get a #4 starter, in the event there is a game 5, you want your ace there

Now of course, you have things like if the Yankees were up 2-1, Kluber would def get Game 4 to save the season

But if the tribe was up 2-1, I wonder if they would hold Kluber

Yep. You'll likely be down 0-2 before Severino even gets to pitch.


What a shitty situation, so not only Severino until Game 3, but eliminates him from Game 5

Too bad the Red Sox get to play the Reds 18 times the rest of the season

I don't disagree that it's often the case, but isn't it kind of retard logic? "Instead of winning Game 4 with our ace, let's run out a lesser pitcher, so we can win Game 5 with our ace."

Moot point anyway because it probably won't go to four games.

that's a really BS penalty.

Really needed to have the hammer dropped on them.
