Blue Jays GDT: *ALCS GM 4* vs CLE | Tues, Oct 18 | 4pm ET/1pm PT | Kluber vs Sanchez

[Matt24]

Against

Merritt-Tomlin-Bauer/Kluber

Game 7 is a toss-up but the next 2 games are advantage us starting pitcher wise.

 

[Dr.Funk]

Because now we can't use him for two innings tomorrow.

There is no tomorrow without locking this one down.

 

[Canada4Gold]

That sign really should say the start of an 8 game winning streak. Dude is so pessimistic, thinking we're gonna lose the first game of the world series

 

[tp71]

Because now we can't use him for two innings tomorrow.

What if the Jays brought in someone else, the Jays lose and there isn't a two innings tomorrow. This is the thinking that lead Baltimore to not use Britton and never get a chance to do so.

 

[Revolt]

We win!!! Good job Osuna.

 

[TimeZone]

Osuna is a monster.

 

[Del Preston]

 

[LeafsMonster]

Osuna matata no sweeep

 

[stakesishigh]

Osuna just clinical.

We're still alive.

 

[ObscureAlien]

1 down, 3 to go

 

[Suntouchable13]

There is no tomorrow without locking this one down.

Only 10 pitches.

 

[Canada4Gold]

1 down, 3 to go!!!!

Jays Win! Jays Win!

See you tomorrow, make sure the pen's ready right from the get go with Merritt out there

 

[LeafSadist]

Roberto! Feels good man

 

[Rysto]

If our pen can't hold a 4 run lead for one inning, we're done anyway.

 

[TF97]

Osuna! Ball game!

 

[HellasLEAF]

We can win again tomorrow. I just believe we can.

The question is, can we take two in Cleveland...

 

[Mitchy]

Feels good man.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Knock, Knock

 

[Muston Atthews]

Sanchez goes game 7 if need be

 

[tp71]

If our pen can't hold a 4 run lead for one inning, we're done anyway.

And thats why you go with Osuna. You know he can. Managing to a statistic 101 posting. But its not a save!!

 

[HamiltonNHL]

If our pen can't hold a 4 run lead for one inning, we're done anyway.

Agreed.

 

[Mitchy]

Our fans have the best signs.

 

[The Nemesis]

The fundamentals have a lot more to do with playing small ball you no this right? I don't want to write up an essay of what it is but I assure you the Jays stink at it. They beat Texas and Baltimore 2 teams that play just like the Jays do. Struggle mightiy when they face teams with strong pitching performance and play the fundamentals to there advantage like KC and now Cleveland.

The only chance the Jays have is if Cleveland's pitching implodes.

I said fundamentals or small ball or whatever.

Honestly, "fundamentals" tends to be one of those vague, fungible terms that gets used to mean whatever it needs to for the point being made.

Especially since you keep going on about how Cleveland's advantage is in "fundamentals" when basically 3/4ths of their runs in games 1-3 came from Blue-Jay-Style HR/XBH hits.

 

[Rysto]

And thats why you go with Osuna. You know he can. Managing to a statistic 101 posting. But its not a save!!

I didn't want Osuna with 3 run lead either. Winning today is meaningless if you lose tomorrow. The difference between this situation and extra innings is that we know there will be 9 innings tomorrow.

 

[ShaneFalco]

They've used their best pitcher in 2 games
Bullpen tired
We have new life
