I'm not sold at all on starting Stroman tomorrow. Young guy in his first playoff appearance, really emotional player in front of a home crowd going nuts, and tons of pressure not to give up any ground after losing the first game. Why not let him pitch game 3 in Texas without the added home pressure and give Dickey game 2, when you he'd be playing in a closed dome where he's at his best?
If the Jays lose tomorrow I think Gibbons is going to be feeling a ton of heat for that decision coupled with 11 days of rest for Price
