Jays vs. Indians ALCS Discussion

[Inklink]

Probably injured in the wild card game celebration.

made me cringe that they were piling on Martin during the ALDS celebration

 

f***ing Upton

[Terminator]

He actually said it was bugging him for a month, and only recently it became unbearable.

 

He must be lying at some point. Maybe he re aggravated it during the scuffle

 

It wouldn't surprise me if he or the team were lying about the reason for the injury. I have a very good source regarding a pretty major injury last season which the team lied about with the player's permission.

Off the top of my head in terms of 'major'

 

-Stroman (unlikely of course)

-Reyes rib (probable)

-Saunders reinjury (probable)

-Bautista/Edwin injuries (minor)

-Tulo (unlikely)

[KingKat]

I bolded righty, brah. lol I'm agreeing with you, I'd rather see Smoak bat over Navvy, though. Yet Navarro forces the pitcher to stay on the mound, instead of a pitching change.

 

Smoak's a switch hitter too.

Yeah that was awful thought I did get a chuckle at Martin (wisely) trying to avoid the swarm. Was probably just as worried as we were watching it.

[West Texas Forever]

But is he really? Get to 2 strikes throw him a curveball and down goes the big man.

He's better from the left side for sure but if we're talking about Navarro's ability to switch hit (which we were) than I think it's valid to bring up Smoak's. Smoak's weak side split is pretty close to Navarro's strong side split (with the caveat of tiny unregressed sample sizes of course).

Welp... I've been up since yesterday, thanks, lol.

[Ehjays]

Can we please invade Cleveland again??

 

Apparently we are

I guess all those people booked rooms and worry about tickets later. Would love to see half full of Jays fans. Would be amazing. Even 1/3 Jays fans will be louder than 2/3 Cleveland.

considering how ridiculous prices are in Toronto, I bet a good number of those in Cleveland are actually from other parts of Canada.

Good thing I booked a room before Cleveland won Game 3 lol. The hotel I'm staying at still has availability but only suites left for like $563 CAD per night.

Tribe will go with 4-man rotation in ALCS. Kluber, Bauer, Tomlin and a pitcher to be named. Identity should come soon.

Surprising. Figured they'd go to Kluber as often as they could. Im guessing Zach McAllister is the 4th guy

[RealAccountant]

It'd possible Kluber is just not in good health. If he goes Game 1 and Game 5 maybe he is available potential Game 7

[Spanky99]

Probably Clevinger.

That's good to hear but my guess is that it's subject to change.

I can see that, he hadn't played all year.

TBA is all about where the series is at.

They might not be fully committed to the 4th starter. I mean a 4th starter makes sense in theory. Pitchers lose effectiveness on short rest so you don't want to do it unless you have to but given their 4th starter options, they might have to if they're not up in the series by then. Conversely, it would be crazy for the Jays to negate their depth advantage and force anyone to pitch on short rest when they have so little drop off 1 through 4.

Terry Francona doesn't think Danny Salazar will be on his ALCS roster.

Good but lets wait and see until its official.
