iLikeDefense Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 My gut says Cleveland will win but I can never pick against my own team. Just excited we advanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bauer has a 1.38 era vs the yanks, Sonny is around 4.86 I believe. Bauer has been a complete stud the 2nd half. Gray hasn’t pitched as well. Game one should favor Cleveland easily You made that up... Bauer had a good game against Yanks in August but before that Bauer was 1-4 with 5.34 ERA against the yankees. Bauer has a career best ERA against of 4.18 in his 6 year career... Bauer is also 0-2 with a 5.27 ERA in the postseason (Gray is 0-1 with a 2.08 ERA). That is not someone you want in game 1 of the playoffs. Gray has played 6 seasons the same amount as Bauer. Of the 6 seasons 5 of them are better than Bauer career high ERA... Gray is by far the better pitcher. Trevor may be pitching better as of late but Gray should still have the pitching advantage. If Indians really wanted to use Kluber in game 2 then they should have started Carrasco game 1. Cant believe you actually said Indians has the pitching advantage with a pitcher who has been consistantly worse in the regular season and postseason.

Kmart128 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Interesting stats ESPN gave up. 90 win teams are 21-14 post season series against 100 win teams over the past 30 years Yankees are 8-2 against 100 win teams in the post season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t care, it’s like having pocket aces in poker and losing 8 times in a row, I’m still taking the aces as my ninth hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby816 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Like all series it's gonna come down to pitching. Cleveland has better starters but NY has better bats and bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmart128 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I think if Sevy starts game 3 then Yanks have potential to win in 4. If he pitches game 2 then I see it as inevitable that we lose in game 5 to Kluber. The issue is if we do start Severino game 3 then we are stuck with Gray or Tanaka in game 5 if we dont end it in 4. Gray vs Bauer- Adv Gray Tanaka vs Kluber- Adv Kluber Severino vs Carrasco- Adv Severino Sabathia vs Tomlin- Adv Sabathia Although if we start Sevy game 2 i see it as this Gray vs Bauer- Adv Gray Severino vs Kluber- Adv Kluber Tanaka vs Carrasco- Adv Carrasco Sabathia vs Tomlin- Adv Sabathia Then of course Kluber will probably take us in game 5. Obviously this is all on paper and doesnt take into consideration batting and bullpen play but the bullpens are about even and playoff baseball always seems to come down to pitching and match ups.

NewAge Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 The Indians are going to piggyback Clevinger and Salazar with Bauer and Tomlin. Doubt they go more than two times through even if they shove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think Cleveland has the most organizational depth in baseball, especially on the pitching side. Zach McAllister, Dan Otero, and Zach Goody aren't even good enough to make their ALDS roster and they're pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crickett Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I've seen this movie, Charlie Sheen comes in as a relief pitcher in the 9th inning and strikes out Aaron Judge with three straight progressively faster fastballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NY just won a game where the Bullpen pitched 8.2 innings, with another dominant arm who didn't even play. If Cleveland wins the series, it won't be because they're deeper.
