Cleveland looks pretty damn good. The old saying goes that pitching wins in the playoffs, and the Indians have lots of it.
Nick Nurse recounting his first meeting with Kawhi:
“We could have gone forever. (Raptors management) kept knocking on the door and I was like, ‘A couple more minutes.’ Because we were really into it."

I don't think we're far behind in that regard, and i believe we have a better offense. I have full confidence in trotting out any of Estrada, Stroman, Sanchez or Happ

They lost their #2 and #3 pitchers to injuries and they are out for the season.

Cleveland played us pretty tough this year including that crazy 19 inning game on Canada Day...

We did follow that game up with a 9-6 win and a 17-0 ass whooping. They won the season series by one game but missing
Carrasco and Salazar should hurt them in a 7 game series. Still they got Kluber and Bauer and one of those scrappy offenses
the Royals have if we end up facing them.

Really sucks about Liriano. I had high hopes for him being a difference maker in the bullpen. Nothing can ever seem to break perfectly our way damn, there always has to be a "but..." for every good moment. Sigh.

At least Osuna looks all right.

Last I heard he was cleared to fly back with the team, which is at least one positive.

Apparently Salazar could return for the ALCS, seems unlikely though..

Was just about to ask if either of them would be available for a CS matchup...or the likelihood of Yan Gomes making a comeback? He's on the ALDS roster for the Tribe isn't he?

Heh. I criticized Gibby's pitcher management today, but was very much against bringing Price back at his asking price.

Just because we won doesn't mean Gibby managed a perfect game. Nothing wrong with debating his moves.


I heard Kevin Barker on the fan earlier today claiming that while everyone criticizes Gibby but he ultimately makes the right move 99.9% of the time.

I just add that to the endless list of stupid things Barker has said this season. I have no idea why he gets so much radio and tv time.


Hes correct. Best jays manger imo.

Lol he was telling the truth. Gibby isnt one to micromanage or experiment he just goes by the %'s which is why he makes the right move 99% of the time.

Fans are fickle they would question jesus decisions.

I can't believe Gibbly created a situation where Osuna had to go that long. Yea, Frank got hurt, but Biagini could've finished the 7th and Grilli could've at least started the 8th.

Monday morning qb at its finest.

I like Gibby and more importantly the players seem to like him. The point is that no manager makes the correct decision 99.9% of the time. It's a ridiculous statement.
