He has no chance at making the majors. He hit a few HRs in the instructional league but now that he's facing actual prospects he's getting dominated as expected. He hasn't been able to square up to 90 MPH fastballs.

But the thing is...EVERYBODY ALREADY KNOWS it was a publicity stunt/money grab. But I fail to see why that matters. The Mets are making free money off of this as are the fucking Arizona Fall League.

It's like Keith Law's bosses at ESPN told him he needed to write about Tebow, and he's butt hurt about it.

Bautista said that "circumstances" are against the Jays and implied the fix was in.

Why would the league want to rig a World Series against Toronto?

OH I get it. The league won't allow a Canadian team to win during a Presidential election year.

Oh wait...

Indians will win the WORLD Series. Now there's gonna be 2 Champions. Indians and Cavaliers. It's biblical

So LeBron James can say he won another championship by coming back to Cleveland

Feel like the strike zones have been all over the place for everyone in these playoffs.

Yes droford, Lebron James is the best basketball player in the world.

Anyone else think they should change the name of the World Series to the National Series?

LeBron James will take credit for the Indians winning

He should get a little. Great motivator

Canadian courts recently ruled against banning the Indians logo from being worn on Cleveland's jerseys for their ALCS games in Toronto.

Whole issue started after an indigenous Canadian activist filed a suit against the team claiming the logo and team name violated Canada's human right code.

MLB deferred on the side of Cleveland but did tease they understand why some would find the name and logo offensive. Also deferred because they legit had no time to even consider the idea of postponing or moving the games to a different location because of how late it was filed.

Cleveland pitcher with a mangled pinky...... busted open his stitches already and gushing everywhere...... what did they expect..... did they think it would not open up........

Respect to the dude to even attempt throwing with that pinky.......

Bauer's done. Stiches opened up.

Now it gets interesting.

Jays can't capitalize on the two walks.... damn..... was unusual/unfortunate situation, but I would have taken a run or two from it, not picky............

I want a little credit in the Indians 2016 World Series ChampionsDVD too then

Droford said on a wrestling message board the Indians would sweep the Red Sox and beat the Jays in 5(or less)

I should have predicted a sweep

Nobody cares Droford.

In more interesting news, this series has been ridiculously close. Credit to Cleveland. They're stifling an offense with a depleted pitching staff. Francona doing a marvelous bullpen job this postseason.

WELL IT'S TIME!

IT'S TIME!

IT'S MILLER TIME! TIME! TIME! TIME!

Feel like it's looking bleak for the Jays. Unfortunately.

I care. I'm basically going to have nailed my 3 predictions right on the nose with the 4th (Dodgers in 7) looking good too

If Cleveland manages to win the World Series this year, Cubs should legit consider making a special trade deal to get Francona as their manager. Would have broken 2 big curses/droughts and would go down as one of the greatest ever if he broke a 3rd one.

Maybe 4 if you consider the White Sox breaking their long drought as "by association" since they had to go through Francona's Red Sox in the playoffs that year.

The Indians would be absolute fucking retards to get rid of Francona.

Maybe if the Cubs sweetened the deal although they could also just wait another 2 years since that is when Francona's current deal expires before the option years become a possible factor.

Then again whole thing assumes Francona wins the World Series and has some mythical curse breaking aura around him.

Cleveland should keep him but send him to the Browns.

Indians either gonna send Kluber out for the Mortal Kombat "Finish Them" this afternoon. Or Clevinger to give Toronto some kind of hope.

If the Indians win tonight, they're going to be idle for a full week while the NLCS won't end until Thursday at the earliest, possibly not until the weekend.

Feel like its happened a lot in the past decade but excessive rest seems to hurt teams going into the World Series. Not much you can do about it.

Indians locked in. Jays are kind of lolworthy, Cleveland is the much tougher team of the two. Love'm but lost even more HESPECT for Bautista for his "circumstances" comment. So disrespectful.

Jays need a new manager who makes in game adjustments. They aren't going to get one because Gibby just had a 2nd run in the ALCS but this is as far as his managing style can get a team.

Francona is a fucking beaut.

And yeah elongated rest could hurt the Indians.

oh now the Indians are good? Bandwagons like you are a joke.

Says the obvious bandwagoner. I think you've never been to Cleveland.

I always thought the Indians were good. I didn't have any idea why anyone was favouring the Jays. Jerkbag.

Jays crushed Droford's dreams by beating the O's so they are winners in my book.

shut up

I bet the Jays drop a 10 spot on Klueber

Really hope so. More baseball is a good thing.

Jays win, baby!!

Glad I will get at last one more game!

Hiroki Kuroda is gonna hang 'em up after his season ends in Japan.

Dumb Canada rigging the game

Wonder what Bautista thought of the circumstances of this game.

What did I miss about Bautista?

Implied MLB and/or umps are rigging the series in Cleveland's favor since they don't want a Canadian team in the World Series.

He is full of shit

To say the least.

Wtf is that idiot talking about? Officiating was terrible. Rigged for the blue jays

Must have missed when/where he said that..... haven't heard about that......

tbh. I'm not worried. I dunno. Just telling you guys. I'm not sweating this at all.

2 more games in LA and two shutouts. I think I'd be sweating.

It's awesome to see a ton of Cub fans at the LA stadium. Chicago fans travel so well in every sport.

I think the Cubs will be fine. Every team has a couple of clunkers in a row. Plus Hill's been great at Dodger stadium.

The Dodgers are running out a 20 year old in Game 4. Tough to see him not having jitters and struggling.

It'll be interesting if Jays can get it to game 6. It'll be tough, they're pretty much playing against themselves until it's Miller time.

Game 6 means Cleveland could potentially start getting jittery, and they don't have the benefit of good pitching matchups until they go into the bullpen. However, I don't see a Francona managed team coughing up a 3-0 lead.

Who dat!? Who dat!? Said they don't beat them Indians? No one sucka

Miller Time and Jays still down 3-0...... not looking promising at all.......

Yikes. Miller is MVP?

Jays lose..... got excited there for a minute after Bautista hit lead off double..... but Jays offense once again does not deliver tonight......

R.I.P. Jays

I guess I will now throw my support behind the Chicago Cubs........

That wasn't hard Clerky.

Cleveland has really beaten down on Toronto this year. Two championship series births off the back of Toronto teams.

And bah gawd thats what happened

Cleveland sweeps Red Sox - Yes
Cleveland in 5 over Jays - Yes
Nationals choke in the NLDS - Yes
Dodgers in 7 over Cubs ??

Better not let me down LA

Zach Britton pitches game 7 of the NLCS .

#FUCKOFFCLEVELAND

From all self-respecting sports fans, in the U.S. and Canada, who don't think you deserve to have a voice in pro sports, and should lose all the teams you have by Chapter 7.

> = (

Cool @ Cleveland. Much deserved.

Cleveland v Chicago for the World Series would be amazing. Hoping that's what we get.

Feel bad for the Jays. With Bautista and Edwin leaving, I wonder how they reload. Maybe they resign Edwin. But the free agent market is a dumpster firel.

I have a feeling they might manage to keep Edwin..... think Bautista is for sure gone, though.......

Lol this is biblical. Jealous ass bitches btw STD fuck off sucka

Will be pulling for Cleveland in the World Series. They deserve a championship.

Love the Jays, and was obviously with them all the way, but Bautista made a mockery of them and Cleveland's pitching eating up the Jays the way it did was a microcosm of the offence for most of the year. Lots of sizzle, very little steak.

After game 2 and seeing that the Jays were lacking the grit required at the plate, I made my peace with this series as a Jays fan.

Its okay because your team killed Droford's hope and dreams. That is better than winning the World Series at this point.

that just goes without saying

Baltimore makes it to world series- Resounding NO

Buck Showalter purposely didn't pitch Britton. He was just being nice and wanted to give another team a chance to win it all before the Orioles win the 2017 World Series.

What about Baltimore winning the division? Or Toronto choking in the final 6 Gamez and letting Detroit get the second wild card spot? What about the Ravens going 13-0. What about..... arg nevermind. He may actually go on ignore status.

I'm still serious about the Jets game..at least wait til Sunday lol

Also Dodgers / Indians WS - Indians sweep

The Dodgers get swept in the WS every 50 years. Well..Almost..
1916 Red Sox win 4-1 over Brooklyn
1966 Orioles Sweep LA

It's also a rematch of the 1920 WS the Indians won 5-2

Droford, shutup

Jon Lester is about to go HAM tonight.

oh man this dude being interviewed is so awkward, and lol Bryant strikes out.

Howie Kendrick has some seriously baggy eyes. It looks like he hasn't slept in a decade.

Anyone know a place that has odds on Charlie Sheen throwing out the first pitch in Cleveland?

THE BEAST JON LESTARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Always impressed with Lester and his command every time I see him.

I have a strong feeling we wont see Arondis tonight if the Cubs keep the lead.

ADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDISONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN BOYAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FUCK YOUR FACES!

Joe Blanton is the best player on the Cubs right now.

Blanton for NLCS mvp. That ball was fucking murdered. 104mph off the bat

That ball got Terminatored

Honestly, i dont want to second guess Joe, but i would sit Strope down for a bit. Let Jon Jon do his fucking thing man.

don't wanna sell your guy out though.

I've heard "grind" used far too much by the mediocre commentators doing MLB this post season. And the players too.

Yes we get it, it's a grind.
