instead of Garcia? I thought Garcia has been pitching a lot better heading to the post season??


This is the real question. Also why Judge and not Ellsbury?
RE: Oh, so on the best rotation in baseball Gray is a 4?

Thanks for clearing that up. And that's IF Bauer sustains his recent performance since Gray has been the much better pitcher over the course of their respective careers.
Gray, CC, Tanaka. Is there a whole lot of difference between these pitchers currently? All had solid years, although Tanaka was prone to some epic meltdowns. Point being, one of these guys is a "2" and one is a "4". It's all semantics.
I'm not worried about this game y'all

This team will lose some games in the playoffs. And they still have some outs tonight. Tomorrow is a winnable game in Yankees fashion.

If you think they're done after tonight, you can fuck the hell off. We don't want you here.
Part of this game is Bauer getting an extra 3-4 inches

CC is swell. He also is pretty much guaranteed not to give you more than 6 innings, sometimes 5

NOTHING IS OVER. NOTHING. YOU JUST DONT TURN IT OFF!
He pitched a great game  
Matt in SGS : 10/5/2017 10:15 pm : link
but I would want to buy a ticket just to punch his face. Holy shit Bauer looked like a Jay Cutler-esque asshole.
I'm frustrated  
PaulBlakeTSU : 10/5/2017 10:15 pm : link
by the zone but Bauer looked great tonight independently. The Indians outplayed the Yankees (thus far). There's a reason that they had the best record in the AL-- they are damn good.

True but if the ump calls it fairly Bauer will make a mistake or two that gets hit because he isn't any good (like Kluber, Carrasco)
Not the difference in the game  
bigbluehoya : 10/5/2017 10:18 pm : link
But the strike zone has not been equitable in the least
Sonny Gray is an asset  
xman : 10/5/2017 10:18 pm : link
we didn't give up the kitchen sink for him. He respectably fills out the rotation during the long season . Its just those 100 pitches he always throws before the 6 inning is over that is a killer. . Also gave up some Home runs in September.
If you're not going to give Holliday a shot against Miller  
Greg from LI : 10/5/2017 10:19 pm : link
Then what the hell is he on the roster for??
Andrew Miller easily handles Bird  
dpinzow : 10/5/2017 10:19 pm : link
to the surprise of nobody
can't fault Bird against Miller,  
Del Shofner : 10/5/2017 10:20 pm : link
and I hated to see Miller go but it's hard to fault Cash either.

The Yanks are getting there - the Indians are there.

That said - we can score runs in bunches, not over till it's over.

Matt- I agree. He is a smirky, smarmy asswhipe. He's also a pretty good picture with a punchable face.

Fair point there.
It's this simple  
bigbluehoya : 10/5/2017 10:21 pm : link
Both pitchers rely heavily on off-speed stuff.

One of them threw it for strikes.

The other one not only didn't throw it for strikes, but his misses weren't believable in the least.

I say this as someone who is a big fan of Gray in the past and going forward -- he was garbage tonight.

When they DH  
Andy Sky : 10/5/2017 10:22 pm : link
Headley, their pinch hitting options with Bird vs a lefty are pretty limited, unless they are comfortable with Holiday at 1B.
I mean, since his first DL stint Holliday hasn't hit righties at all  
Greg from LI : 10/5/2017 10:24 pm : link
And Miller is the only lefty the Indians have. If he's not up against Miller, when is he going to hit?

Put Torreyes at third and Frazier at first then.
We gotta steal this one  
DennyInDenville : 10/5/2017 10:25 pm : link
Let's go squad

Get Torreyes an at bat
That would make sense  
Andy Sky : 10/5/2017 10:26 pm : link
To me too. I just hadn't thought of the Headley DH issue until it came up and I suspect that's why the November wasn't made.
He broke his fucking wrists ump

You fucking cockload
Bruce didn't go around there, huh?

Clown show umps
Check swing?

2 FUCKING UMPS MISSED THAT!@!@!#!@!@!  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 10/5/2017 10:29 pm : link
WTF
Jaime Garcia had to throw 5 strikes  
dpinzow : 10/5/2017 10:29 pm : link
to Bruce to strike him out

Good inning  
dune69 : 10/5/2017 10:30 pm : link
for Garcia.
At the very least  
Kyle in NY : 10/5/2017 10:33 pm : link
Good by Garcia to eat some innings
Miller gets strike same distance off plate Garcia just didn't get

Anybody pointed out this is a 20 year revenge match  
Dave in PA : 10/5/2017 10:35 pm : link
Took Cleveland a lineup of Hall of Famers to take down the 97 Yankees. Freakin Sandy Alomar Jr
Who the fuck is John Gray?  
B in ALB : 10/5/2017 10:38 pm : link

Fantastic AB by Headley  
dpinzow : 10/5/2017 10:38 pm : link
12 pitch walk off Miller. Afraid the ump would call that 3-2 pitch a strike but he held up

Sandy Alomar's HR was pure luck that year...hit it off the end of the bat!

Keep making Miller work.
Miller walks Gardner

Francona goes to the mound to pull Miller
Good ABs  
adamg : 10/5/2017 10:44 pm : link
30 pitches for Miller already.
Now we're grinding.  
bceagle05 : 10/5/2017 10:45 pm : link
Have to take this approach into tomorrow.
Sadly..  
FatMan in Charlotte : 10/5/2017 10:49 pm : link
Judge has to swing at high pitches because they are consistently calling them strikes against him.
Judge back to swinging at  
B in ALB : 10/5/2017 10:51 pm : link
garbage low and away. He's pressing a bit.

It's ok. Gotta learn quick though. Tomorrow is coming fast.
Indians pitching  
Kyle in NY : 10/5/2017 10:53 pm : link
throws so many breaking balls. Not what our guys hit best. Got to adjust
Betances looks back

Looking really good
Dellin dealin'

Cmon boys. Make them sweat a little in the 9th, at the very least.
Indians offense didn't do a whole lot  
Kyle in NY : 10/5/2017 11:02 pm : link
Their lineup isn't all that deep and Sonny gave them too many free passes

But their pitching is another story. Hope the bats come alive
Third base ump

Can get his ass torn to shreds by Francona later
