Cleveland: 53-29 at home, 41-39 on the road.

If we don't get all three at Rogers Centre, we may be in a bit of a pickle. But let's go! Win this baseball game!

Save us OvOhYeah fam.

Offense needs to take the Sunday off and mentally reset. Guys are putting way too much pressure on themselves and coming out of their approach. Hopefully playing at home wakes the lineup up.

Please just win game 3 and let's go from there.

Teams going down 2-0 in LCS are 3-24. Time to be the 4th.

Teams that go up 2-0 lose 60% (.407) of the time for Game 3 in the LCS. Lets get this.

Historically when the home team wins the first two games of any best of 7 they are 43-10 or 81%. That's not as bad as I thought it would be. And we should also remember that the Rangers were up 2-0 on us just last year. They've seen this before.

Gotta win game 3 and then go from there.

If we lost both games by 5+ runs then i'd be wtf is going on but I'm still somewhat confident. We do have to win next 3 games.

It's all about getting some hits and getting runs. Our pitchers are doing the job, so this series could still go either way. Hell you could say we'd be 1-1 right now if only we scored a run or two in Game 1. We had our chances to with men on base.

Maybe the Jays will realize they are going to get pitched away and they will get a steady diet of breaking balls. They seem to go opposite field pretty well at home so let's hope for 3 wins.

The rest in between the ALDS and the ALCS really dried up our offense. I have a good feeling its gonna come back in this homestand.

I say we take all three at home.

The bottom of our lineup is awful right now.

Pillar hitting under .100
Martin hitting under .100
Barney hitting under .100
Upton (when playing) hitting under .100

Fangraphs has our odds of making the World Series at 21.5%. For the sake of comparison, our odds of reaching the ALDS were as low as 16.8% on September 30th, and here we are.

No need to worry guys, offence will get back, the losses weren't as bad as they have looked! For both games we were one swing away from having a 2-0 lead. I say if we can win this game big we got this series. If the score is like 8-7 after and we do manage to pull it off I don't like our odds. Truthfully, Cleveland has been playing as good as they can. No need to panic. I can easily see us winning these next 3 games. We need stroman to pitch really well and I feel Sanchez will be automatic the following day. And game 5 against Kluber I think it's safe to say we'll know how well he pitches and we've had him before- we just haven't capitalized.
