Blue Jays GDT: (2016 v35) *ALCS GM 1* @ CLE | Fri, Oct 14 | 8pm ET/5pm PT | Estrada vs Kluber

[bigred50]

Miller is a beast. Now you know.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

These TD commercials are extra annoying given how the game is going.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

Well, we're 4-0 in the playoffs.. Hope we come back. If we don't, well... you can't expect to win every game in the post season.

Come back strong tomorrow.

 

[Canada4Gold]

Edwin and Bautista can't even advance Donaldson because they are too busy swinging for the fences

We're down 2 in the 8th with 1 runner on, yeah a single would be great, but if there's anytime to be swinging for the fences this is literally it

You're talking about two of the most pull-iest hitters in the league, what do you expect?

 

[Orca Smash]

Back to the september jays.

Need to get to the starter when you have runners on or francona is just going to keep going to miller who the jays cant do much against for the 7th and 8th.

 

[TimeZone]

A truly pathetic performance tonight. Cleveland certainly looks to be the superior team. Won't be surprised if this is a short series.

 

[Kurtz]

I begged AA to sign Miller when he was a free agent 2 years ago. BEGGED HIM.

 

[Loosie]

Estrada coming back out.

 

[Swervin81]

Miller is a beast. Now you know.

Yeah, we didn't know that already... it's not like he pitched in our division for almost his entire career before July or anything...

 

[The Kessel Run]

Well, that seems a bit reactionary.

Huh?

 

[Tonka]

I need some comedic relief...seriously.

 

[dredeye]

This is the not fun to watch jays team tonight. Hopefully, this is the anomaly for us in this series. This was a worry for me that the bats would get cold.

 

[PG Canuck]

Really no reason to take Estrada out anyways.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Diaz gifts us a strike there....

 

[The Nemesis]

Seriously guys, enough taking potshots at other posters for their fandom. Even if someone posts a ridiculous hot take, you can pick apart the post, but not take a shot at the poster.

Disagree. Focus on advancing runners. A well hit single gets Donaldson to 3rd. Then even a GIDP has us going into the 9th down just 1 instead.

A smart at-bat rather than a hero at-bat

 

[King Mapes]

You guys realize we have faced Kluber and Miller this game right? Hell I was expecting the loss. This series is far from over. Superior team? Why? Because they had that one hard hit? This will be a close series.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

I need to stop drinking at home during Jays playoff games. They always lose when I do.

 

[TimeZone]

Huh?

Indians pen is too strong. Amazing performance from Estrada and we still get an L. Not hard to see where my post is coming from, if you ask me.

 

[The Kessel Run]

If anything, this is the game Cleveland needed to win. You're bang on.

Because they both didn't get to full counts, one where EE was called out on a 50/50 strike and the other where Bautista was forced to swing the bat?

That's fine, the more frustrating part is we cant get runners to score. Multiple chances.

Don't get it either. Game 1s aren't series ending games.
