GDT - Game 2 ALCS 4PM Jays vs. Indians - STILL 8 WINS TO GO!

[FrozenRopes]

For the Jays:

 

J.A. Happ, LHP

 

Happ is coming off a win over the Rangers in which he permitted one run over five innings. He’ll look to keep rolling against the Indians, who he beat during the regular season with 11 strikeouts over seven innings in his only start against them.

 

Lineup: (should be)

Zeke

Josh

Edwin

Jose

Tulo

Martin

Saunders

Pillar

Goins

 

For the Indians:

 

Josh Tomlin, RHP

 

Tomlin was the winning pitcher in Cleveland’s ALDS-clinching Game 3 victory, his first postseason appearance. He faced Toronto twice this season and was tagged for seven runs over 10 1/3 innings, giving up four home runs.

I thought I was gonna make the next GDT after you lose?

[admin]

Rather see Stroman on the road than Happ.

[FrozenRopes]

Series bro, series... one game does not make a series.

Really? Lefty heavy lineup versus our ace lefty. I like Stro at home for the extra 'juice'.

Stroman dominated them on the road just like Happ, but you can't go wrong with either of them.

WTF are you talking about? It wasnt me who said to do the entire series, it was someone who had an opinion more valid and appreciated than yours. I dont care if I do it, just remember, you will habe jinxed the team.

Fangraphs results over a full season.

 

 

But you're right let's sell him for goat s***..

Fangraphs projections over a full season.

Those are his career numbers. Not fangraphs projections.

So, even better?

[Bobthe4th]

Stating the obvious but a big game today - hopefully we score early so the GDT isn't quite as bad to read as yesterday. 7 games is a long series - stay positive!

[JFD]

Martin and Saunders have horrible numbers vs Tomlin. I would go with this lineup.

 

Carrera

Donaldson

Edwin

Bautista

Tulo

Pillar

Upton

Barney/Travis/Goins

Martin

[G-Snarls]

We got this one

[labadee]

Let's go blue jays!

[BlueRocky]

Tomlin sucks.

A couple good games to end the season, but his general body of work is awful.

Doesn't strikeout much, gives up a lot of HRs & high SLG%, s*** against righties, worst at home.

Half his games his FIP was over 5.

He wouldn't even make the Jays 40 man roster.

If we dont hit with runners in scoring position, if we dont defend properly and if we dont hit at all it wont matter who they run out there. With that said, I expect a better umpire performance allowing the jays to make tomlin come them.

 

Prediction: 6-1 Jays

[admin]

Need this one today. Split it and we're in a very good position.

[glory]

1-1 heading back to Toronto would be fine with me. Jays were facing Kluber, but now the match-ups favor them considerably. Time to take advantage.

[THANOS]

If we can't pummel Tomlin then our offense is back to s***, so I hope the logical scenario takes place.

That was one game against one of the best pitchers in baseball, no reason to believe that trend will continue into the next three games.

I am worried.

 

I think this will be a 3-2 final. Don't know who will win.

I hope you're wrong. There's no reason why we can smash Hamels and Darvish but can't smash Tomlin.

[RealAccountant]

We got this one

 

I hope so

 

This year feels way worse than last year if we lose the first 2 on the road.
