    Ok. Raining. If it isn't a rain out what are possible scenarios for what I assume would be a double header tomorrow. Do we run out lmj and Colin regardless of what Cleveland does?

    What about if Yanks lose. Boston conserves Sale do we go all out of Cleveland loses tonight?

    What if Cleveland wins.. they are trotting out Kluber. If they win and yanks lose do we roll with LMJ for a couple innings and see what he has for decision making purposes or do we start Fiers and Martes and rely on the likes of Hoyt, Clippard, Feliz, Sipp, and non playoff pitchers to eat innings. Also bubble rap altuve, correa, Bergman and Springer and glue their butts to the bench. And Margo for that matter.

    I agree with all your scenarios I guess stros are just seeing what other teams do especially Cleveland. I say if Cleveland wraps up the 1st seed tonight I’d just play the triple a team tomorrow as you don’t want to take any chances hurting your stars on the last day of the season.

    Rain should move out by later in the afternoon but if the game is postponed and the Yankees lose and Indians win today, then tomorrow's games mean nothing. I wonder if the decision would just be to cancel the make up game and just play one tomorrow. Or if the first game tomorrow has meaning, only play the second game if it has meaning.

    Wonder what kind of 1st base Stassi plays ha.

    Wouldn't it be something if the white sox got to Kluber tonight? Tomlin isn't exactly a stud. White Sox could beta him. But yea. Rain out would be a positive if cle raps. We can go into protection mode. Of course if the Yankees win and we want them to burn Sale we have to try in game 1. Interesting last weekend.

    I was just thinking the same thing how nice it would be if the White Sox pulled off these last two games and the stros won these last two. I’d like to see Sale pitch so he can come back Thursday on less rest than the stros top two pitchers

    It would be absolutely massive if the Red Sox are forced to start Sale tomorrow. Gotta win today.

    Pomeranz struggled last game and we are hot, so hopefully we can tag him again today. I am more worried about the Yankees doing their part.

    Stroman is on the Hill vs Sabathia.

    Regardless of how the postseason goes, winning 100 games is something to be proud of.

    Stupid crap like that is why Altuve won't win.

    Exactly I just read an article this morning saying Judge is the mvp and playing in NY is probably the reason he could get it :(
