Really not a fan of blaming the pitchers for this.

Estrada has gotten literally zero run support in the 10 innings he pitched in this series.

The pitching is not to blame here.

And now this situation goes from tough to dire.

The next time the Jays big 3 come through the order is almost assuredly Miller/Allen territory.

I thought that 3-1 just nibbled the edge of the plate, but it could have been the camera angle messing with me.

My point about Estrada was that the more teams face him in a series, the more likely he is to get hit

He doesn't have electric stuff, so batters are going to have an easier time figuring him out than they would a typical ace throwing 95+

I'd argue a pitch straight down the middle of the strike zone is more over the plate, but that's just me.

Lol, was thinking that.

"Cleveland doesn't get frustrated" right as the Indians batter swearing at a checked swing call. :laugh:

And Napoli swears at missing on a changeup.

It's also a lot easier not to get frustrated when you never trailed in a game in the series until you were up 3-0.
Oh, I don't necessarily disagree with the point he was making, it's just funny that he was contradicted almost immediately.

Feels like they need to get at least something here or the game is over.

I know it wouldn't be as they could put up a 5 spot on a moments notice, but that's just how it feels given how things have gone so far.
