Oh I'll finish watching it, but not because I'm getting a single ounce of enjoyment out of it. Between this and the Flames start to the season, i may have an aneurism.

Think the Indians even use Miller today?

Yup. They've executed their game plan and it's completely silenced the bats.

Go figure? Just pitch down to neuter a high slugging team.

This has helped Clevelands game plan too.

I am having a hard time keeping my composure. This has just been an infuriating series so far.

In game two, Allen left a mistake fastball up to Jose and he swung through it. Then he hung two straight sliders to Edwin (down 1-0 in the count too) and he watched one and fouled the other. Three mistakes to good hitters and nothing put in play.

Tonight, Shaw left brutal mistakes to Jose, Edwin and Martin (as right down the heart as they get) and not one ball is hit hard.

Partly because Cleveland isn't really making any. A few today but in Games 1 and 2 there wasn't a lot of mistakes. Jays are good at hitting mistakes and they like to wait for them but they arnt getting them so they are having to chase. They needed to adjust and lay off stuff to get better pitches. Hasn't happened.

Is this the first time all season the opposing team made a pitching change because Zeke was coming up? Has to be.

Maybe they are saving Miller to start game 4

I like how this is just the Blue Jays just not hitting pitches and nothing to do with Cleveland having some of the best pitching in baseball. Everyone has known since September that Cleveland was he worst matchup for a team like Toronto. I hate Boston more than any other professional sports team and I was praying they would take Cleveland out for us.

We aren't watching the same games. Kluber was leaving mistake after mistake early. Tomlin pitches okay but there was get me over curves that the Jays weren't being aggressive on. And then Allen was pitiful but the Jays could make him pay. Tonight the Indians haven't pitched well again, particularly Shaw. But the results look good so let's act like they're pitching well.

Miller has been untouchable. Aside from that it's been very mediocre.

The first game was a gift as far as pitching performances go and the Jays pissed that one away. The second game was a quality start from the Indians.

Their bullpen is to notch too though. You get a chance, you have to take it.

Another fastball right down the heart of the plate. But he got the out so its quality pitching, right?
