    I think this is the key. If it looks like Stroman is going to struggle, you need to bring Liriano is right away. Personally, I think that decision will probably be made in the 4th or the 5th, much as they did with Dickey last season. This is assuming, of course, that Strom doesn't get lit up right away.

     

    I think that as much as Gibby likes Marcus' ability to step up in a big game and his intensity, he likes having a second lefty in the pen that he can rely on.

     

    Another bit of possible good news: It seems that lately, Stroman is alternating good starts with so-so starts. His last time out, he gave up 4 runs on 9 hits. But the previous start, he was dominant against the Yankees, allowing one hit over seven innings. That pattern seems to repeat over the final month of the season and it means that he's due to have a good start.

     

    It should also be noted that over Stro's last five starts, the Jays offense has given him five runs. That includes three shutouts, so his W/L record means very little to me at this point.

     

    Well yes you hope he can give you 4 or 5 strong innings, I think that's what everyone is hoping, but if he can't you obviously don't push it and try and get 4 or 5 and just make the move to the pen. It all depends on the score as well and what our offence is doing.

     

    I was reading the stats yesterday for the pitchers, in the games they have played against each other, not going to lie Tillman has much better numbers then Stroman this year in head to head games. Let's hope your stats are right and he's due for a good outing this time.

     

    The Toronto Blue Jays named right-hander Marcus Stroman the starter against the Baltimore Orioles for Tuesday's wild-card game at Rogers Centre, despite him owning a 7.04 ERA vs. the AL East foes in 2016.

     

    Chris Tillman, Baltimore's answer in the game, has a 3.63 ERA against Toronto this season.

    The average human being metabolizes around one standard drink (0.6 oz of ethanol) per 90 minutes.

    Liver breaks down the alcohol by releasing enzymes. These enzymes target the alcohol not before it enters the blood stream, but after. So, what you're talking about again has nothing to do with what I said. 

     

    These guys aren't drinking 1 glass every 90mins lol. Plus they're mostly drinking Champagne which has a much higher alcohol percent, and they're not sipping it they're slamming it, plus they're mixing with beer. So many factors that easily can get them drunk in 30mins.

    The body doesn't absorb the alcohol so quickly. It doesn't matter if you drink every day or once a week. Hopefully you figure that out! Its science... when you drink a beer it takes about 60 minutes for your blood to absorb the alcohol... don't know why you always choose to respond to my posts with either inaccurate information or just misrepresent what I'm saying.

     

    Yes it's called Alcohol Tolerance check it out.

    Still wouldn't have waved him in if it were me. 

     

    It all depends on how hard and fast he was running, if he was running full speed don't see him not scoring tbh they're was a lot of free time when that ball came off the wall. Of course if he wasn't running full speed no way you send him, but if he was running full speed and that's how it ended man he's slow now....

    Buck said he was waved around. 

     

    Yeah I know, but by just watching Bautista running, you can see what "he" was thinking, that's what I want to see. 

     

    I think Bautista was thinking in his mind he would be holding at 3 and wasn't expecting to be waved home, then saw he was being waved so he was behind. But I just wanted to see his run from 1st to 3rd to really see first.
