    Wow. In the bottom of the 6th, Cleveland had the bases juiced, no outs and Jose Ramirez at bat...... and got 0 runs out of it.

    Need Cleveland to wrap this up today so they'll be rested for the Yankees.
    I want Toronto to tie it up, but then I want Seattle to win the series. I prefer the Mariners but also want them to go through their pitching.

    At this point I’m not preferential to any team to face. The one title we have went through the best. Whoever it is bring it on.

    Looks like it's gonna take a HR on a hanger or a ghost runner in the 10th for someone to score in this game.

    I thought the Ghost Runner was a regular season only thing, like shootouts are in Hockey.

    You're right. This game may take 4 hours.

    Castillo would be on 5 days rest for game 2.

    Framber is the most likely game 2 starter, but I would go with McCullers with Brown ready to relieve him

    Then use Framber - Javier- Verlander in games 3-5

    Need a brutal extra innings game between the Jays and Mariners to use up their bullpen like what is happening in the Tampa vs Cleveland game

    Need Jays to win today so either team has burned their first three starters. Big advantage imo

    Indians throwing meat balls down the pipe and the Rays can’t capitalize.

    This game might need ghost bases loaded.

    Seattle and Toronto may both score before either of these teams

    Sadly, this will probably lead to ghost runners in the playoffs next season

    Giminez has struck out 5 times.

    Maybe we need the equivalent of a FG for baseball.

    I'm guessing the Yankees will eat up both of these pitching staffs.

    The Yankees should easily handle either of these two teams.

    Which sometimes means it will be the opposite :D
