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

[Bad News Benning]

Sanchez goes game 7 if need be

If we can somehow force a game 7 which is still incredibly tough at this point...

I think I'd go Stro for 3/4 innings and bring Sanchez out of the pen for two or three.

Stro usually doesn't run into problems until the 3rd time thru the order so that's when you bring Sanchez into the game.

I like it, can't wait until game 7.

Victory!!!

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.

This is just wrong.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Props to Carrera - he's been great

 

[Le Cobra]

Lets go blue jays!!!!

Losing today makes tomorrow meaningless aswell.

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

Book it we win game 5 tomorrow at home. This team will not allow them to celebrate at Rogers Centre. I do believe that.

Can we take 2 in Cleveland?? Very tough to do but if our pitching is on..

Anything is possible, especially if we win tomorrow.

I'm confident our pitching can keep the Indians stymied enough to allow us to have a chance.

Mmm don't think that pitching has been a problem 9 runs against in 4 games is pretty spectacular. It's the hitting that's been suspect. Stranding guys in scoring position too much.

Why is there a 5pm Pacific start ?
Did they do this last year ?

Every year. And they do it in hockey too -- to have an 8pm ET start.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Cleveland sure isn't hitting well in the post season.

Of course,
Martin is hitting 0.067, 13 Ks.
Bautista .138, 12 Ks.
Pillar .103,
Barney .083

Is the Dome open tomorrow ?

I'm as pessimistic as they come but if our bats wake up, there will be a 7th game in this series. Plain and simple.

This is one of the most ridiculous, backwards things I've ever read on here.

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

I'm optimistic that if we win game 5 and game 6, there will be a game 7.

Though I like their chances tomorrow and 6.

 

[Rysto]

This is one of the most ridiculous, backwards things I've ever read on here.

Alright, we'll revisit this tomorrow. I bet that we'll have a pitcher not named Osuna up in the eighth inning, and the Jays will have less than a 4 run lead at the time.

Hahaha.

Um... ok. If they need him for two innings tomorrow, he'll go two innings tomorrow.

Plus, it's the idea that today doesn't matter unless they win tomorrow that's backwards. In a do-or-die situation, you do everything you can to get through today and figure out tomorrow if you get there.

 

[Clark4Ever]

Still a pulse. If the boys can give Estrada a bit of run support tomorrow, I like our chances of taking this series back to Cleveland.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Someone ask Martin how he feels about batting .067, 13 Ks, with 1 RBI in 8 games.

 

[Rysto]

If Gibbons and Walker think that Osuna is still good for two innings tomorrow after pitching in the last two games, then I withdraw my objection. But we definitely need to be squeezing every high-leverage inning out of him we can, and with a travel day on Thursday we can go all-in with him tomorrow.

 

[SavedByRoy]

Woo hoo! The Jays got a win, plus had very good pitching again.

If you want to make history, each game is the entire season. Win by any means necessary and live to fight another day.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Donaldson's pregame meeting seems to have inspired him !
Hit a dinger in the bottom of the third off the "invincible" Kluber.

It's mid October. The Dome will not be opened, ever. Its sad, it can be really nice out but its the truth.
