I dispense wisdom by the gallon.
I'd rather run Kluber, Carrasco, Bauer, Clevinger, but I'm not setting the rotation.

Francona took Cleveland to the brink of a World Series win with Corey Kluber, Trevor Bauer and Josh Tomlin all pitching on short rest. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt until we lose.

I think this is more about setting the series up for heavy bullpen use in game one, with Kluber in game two and then a travel day. Also would be very surprised if Tomlin goes through the lineup more than twice, I'd expect to see Clevinger come in as a bridge.

I think you might be the only good Yankees fan tbh.

In non WC news, Jays had a press conference today, general indication seems that they don't plan on trading Josh Donaldson and will be trying to figure out an extension, he wants to stay in Toronto too. :swoon: god I hope so

Sorry I'm late
Part of the motivation for Bauer is game 1, other than lining up for Kluber in game 5, is that Bauer is most able to bounce back on shorter rest if they need him in game 4. I'm a Cleveland fan who intensely dislikes Bauer as a human being, but he has been a solid pitcher this year.

Evil will always triumph because good is dumb, and doesn't have a good enough bullpen to step to the Yankees.

RIP the dozenish arms in the minor leagues who could throw upper 90s/100 with solid secondaries and were expected to be ready this year :qq: It's as if the Mets were hired as minor league pitching coordinators.

Seems unlikely that the Yankees would do well in a 5 or 7 game series if their starters continue to go 1/3 of an inning per outing.

That has to be the most baffling manager move in the last decade at least right?
