Dude

How can you not vote 9th at this point?

Travis Sawchik

8:08

That's the correct play

Have you ever met Bauer? As a weird introvert myself, I feel like he's just a really odd guys that the rest of society doesn't "get"...as cliche and stupid as that sounds.

Travis Sawchik

8:09

I have! I think that's true. He has a very different personality and interests compared to what is commonly found in a ML clubhouse

8:10

I wrote about this very subject earlier this year for The Athletic https://theathletic.com/64655/2017/06/06/the-most-interesting-man-in-b...

Judge hit a good pitch. But Bauer made a lot of bad ones in the game. Hung several curves.

Travis Sawchik

8:11

That's true. Much different curveball and command of it compared to Game 1

ZW Guild Attendant

Uh, so, Tomlin finishes this one out, right? Because... I don't know if you want to overtax your good arms tonight.

Travis Sawchik

8:11

Yeah, that has to be in your mind if you're Francona

8:12

Gonna be some second guessing on not leaving Clevinger in rotation for LDS

Show Hey O'Tawny

Am I the only one who hates that whistling noise they play for strikeouts at Yankee Stadium?

Travis Sawchik

8:12

What is that?

Matt

8:12

Sev comes out with both middle fingers high...

Travis Sawchik

8:12

Basically

Dr Evil

8:13

Sevy looks sharp, but if this stays at 4 runs do you pack it in early or give the offense until the 5th or 6th to get it close?

Travis Sawchik

8:13

Can't punt this early on a LDS Game 4

Mike

8:14

joe smith wasnt even on the pitcher list either

Travis Sawchik

8:14

I'm going to stop making polls

John Autin

8:15

Did Francona overthink his rotation? Didn't want Kluber starting Game 5 on extra rest, so he started Game 2 ... on extra rest. Guess he didn't want Kluber starting Game 4 on short rest (if he'd started Game 1) ... so he winds up with Bauer on short rest.

Travis Sawchik

8:16

A little bit, but they did get the great start from Bauer in Game 1 ... the Game 4 short-rest start might be more debatable

Ernie Bank$

8:16

Ok Travis what's the Indians path back to win this

Travis Sawchik

8:17

Clevinger and the rest of the bullpen throws seven shutout innings

Very little margin for error and it might already be too late

druidiful

8:17

Ahh, now we get the Bauer OUTage thing. 👎🤔

Travis Sawchik

8:17

Ouch

Nic

8:18

Your thoughts on girardi saying CC would start a theoretical game 5 over sonny?

Travis Sawchik

8:18

I like Cleveland in Game 5 either way

Owen

8:19

Do a first reliever out for Yankee poll!

Travis Sawchik

8:19

Really? You want me to try this again? OK ...

Hey Travis, remember when you said Clevinger was the third best CLE starter down the stretch

Travis Sawchik

8:21

Yikes

But he was!

8:22

Bruce

8:23

Can you explain why all 4 of those runs were unearned. Urshela made the only error, on castros hot shot, so once castro scores on fraziers double aren't the rest of the runs earned?

Travis Sawchik

8:23

Lot of two-out magic that wouldn't have occurred without the error

gundar

8:23

Who does Travis think will be the first Yankee reliever in? What’s your vote?

Travis Sawchik

8:23

Robertson

Guest

8:23

they play the PC Richards jingle for every strikeout at Yankee Stadium

Travis Sawchik

8:24

Why do they do this?
