1ForTheThumb Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 1 hour ago, MWil23 said: At first glance, I could see how someone would think that, but it more or less boils down to a couple of things: 1. They would want Kluber to go Game 5, if necessary, hence why he's going Game 2 instead of Game 1. 2. Bauer has done VERY well against the NYY this year. Tito is into those metrics more than almost any other coach in the entire MLB. I don't fault the Indians for it at all and I actually like the move. I'm just saying it's essentially saying you better win game 1 or else you're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Yankees are conceading game 2 to the Indians by putting CC on the mound (with slight hopes he can put up a CC workhorse like effort and potentially steal one) Puts our ace and Tanaka who just pitched a gem in his last outing in games 3 and 4. Seems we are trying to win game 1, 3, and 4 by conceading game 2. Issue with this strategy is we would be forced to start Gray or Sabathia in game 5 instead of having our ace available.

Basically saying hey if you don't win game 1, this series is over because you got Kluber in game 2. Not cocky at all. I don’t know why this is being blown up. They did the same thing last year. Had Kluber start game 2 vs Boston with plenty of rest. If NY doesn’t win tonight they will get swept! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if we lose game 1 then CC could be in for a big game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when the Giants did that by throwing Zito against Verlander in game one of the world series in 2014. As you can see from that game, just never know what could happen.

bigbadbuff23835 Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Lmfao the only difference between these two teams is Corey Kluber. Everything else can be argued either way. Acting like the Yankees will get swept.... lol. Cleveland fans getting cocky after blowing a 3-1 lead in the world series??. Point being don’t put the horse before the carriage. Series could go any way. Don’t see a sweep from either side. No one should feel 100% confident outside of Cleveland in game two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one said the Yankees were going to get swept. But if they lose game 1 it's going to be a tough task beating Kluber, Carrasco, and then potentially Kluber again. Were confident because we were the best team in the AL this year, nothing wrong with that. That being said it's a 5 game series so anything could happen.

It is clearly mentioned by Indians fans if Yankees lose game 1 they will get swept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
