Francona just announced Kluber is the starter game#4. Pretty scary if he would still be as sharp as last nite on short rest.

Announced on ESPN AM1000

Perfect for us. Keep throwing guys on short rest. Klubers not getting 3 wins in this series.

The thing I dislike most about playoff baseball is how one starter can have a bigger impact than in reg season due to days off.

With rain in the forecast, Kluber could pitch game 4 on regular rest. Worst case scenario for Cubs.

But if pushed back a day, Lester also could go in Game 4.

so the cleveland forecast is rains will start around 8 central, and stay thru thursday. If the game is suspended, they will finish Friday.

dont know if there is still a travel day, but the cubs organization have got to be praying for their weekend series

If there is a suspended game and the team that was in the lead ends up losing the next day it will be a terrible, terrible moment for MLB.

I just heard that regardless of outcome they will be back in Chicago on Friday. I sure hope that doesn't mean that a game 2 outcome could be delayed until a return to Cleveland. That would be a disaster.

That would be terrible moment #2 after Vanover's weak effort last night.

Rob Manfred can't possibly be that dumb. It would call into question the integrity of the outcome and the victor would forever have an asterisk next to them in the minds of fans.

This is the man who seems like he's on a holy quest to ban the shift. Just sayin'.

As Hollandsworth said today, next time we face Kluber it'll be different. Our guys will be ready for his fastball early approach.

We need 2015 Arrieta to show up. We get 5 IP 4 ER Jake and we are screwed.

Would love to get 7 scoreless tonight. And of course we get to wonder what's up with the offense again.
