Hal sucks
BA against Bauer sky rockets after the 3rd inning. He had a good August and Sept. but this will be a BP game. Swinging at the 1st Pitch against Bauer this year, batters have a .357 avg.
I wonder if Severino is in play for G2.
I think Sevy has to be in play for game 2. That lets him go game 5 as well. He was clearly nervous and also had no slider. It didn’t kill his team. That’s a good lesson to learn. I expect vintage Sevy going forward
Bad weather predicted in Cleveland, might buy Sevy and the bullpen an extra day
Bad weather might help us and absolutely fuck the Indians. If game 2 gets pushed back, they use the off day. That would mean Kluber goes game 2 then on short rest in game 5.

"It's also a simple and indisputable fact that WAR isn't the be-all end-all in valuations, especially in real life. Wanna know why? Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."
Girardi reacted excellently. He had to pull him. Sevy has done this before. He allowed three runs in 3 batters vs the Brewers and shut them out for 7IP after that. We couldn’t wait to find out. I think you have to go with your hot hands in elimination games and he did so flawlessly.

Gray in game 1. CC in game 2. Surprised we didn’t go Sevy there, but I get it. CC for 5 and then pen for the win

CC had to learn how to be a pitcher when his fastball didn’t average 89mph. He’s had a bit of a resurgence in velocity now sitting at 91 and his stuff plays up at the better velocity. Two starts ago, he was topping out at 94-95, something I hadn’t seen from him in years. If old CC can make a short return, then we’ve got something
