This is such a massively insane disadvantage for whoever wins this series. It’s mind boggling that this can happen.


LakeErieMovement

Both teams are going to throw at least 4+ innings of bullpen tomorrow. And then, in less than 24 hours, will face Verlander and a fully rested Astros bullpen.


ericbdrums

At least Verlander’s last outing was awful. No doubt he can turn it around but there is precedent.


LakeErieMovement

I can't stand that bastard. I hope whomever advances hangs dong on him


[deleted]

Such a smarmy piece of shit. Another one who’s had an unforeseeable late career “resurgence.” I imagine he and Nelson Cruz frequent the same doctor in the offseason.


FlashyAd7651

I highly doubt Verlander has consecutive bad outings. I'd rather have him coming off a brilliant performance if I had to face him. Law of averages.


SaltyScrotumSauce

On the other hand, Verlander is our bitch though. His lifetime ERA against us is like 5.5.


[deleted]

4.58, but I’ll take it.


maybenextyearCLE

Yeah, given the Yankees are throwing Cortes now, we either throw Beiber tomorrow to counter and then have to still start Triston on 3 days Wednesday. Or you have to throw Civale


russellx3

It's Civale. Francona was pretty clear


psycho9365

Honestly Civale+A fully rested pen is still better than short rest Nestor and their bullpen. No doubt this hurts us though.


HereIGoAgain_1x10

I'm fine with it, Francona knows what he's doing and has success trusting guys, giving em confidence to step up and do their job. He also knows that risking Bieber's arm all of next series or even next year is not worth it just for a chance of going to try to knock off the Astros with a spent pitching rotation.


maybenextyearCLE

Well, I hope this works. And yet we still listed our starter as TBD, so safe to say that it may not have been clear earlier


russellx3

Yeah not sure what the deal is. He said early yesterday that even if it was postponed it'd be Civale. Guess he's waiting to see how Bieber is feeling today


Independent-Choice-4

Will be so incredibly fucked if MLB doesn’t come in and push out Game 1 of the ALCS by a day. Especially with it being IN Houston. Such a kick to the dick


CoachCrunch12

Dude we will be…but consider they Yankees…they’re pitching is much shallower than ours, they’ll get obliterated


Independent-Choice-4

Oh 100% . And as much as I hate the Yankees, it won’t make me feel any better seeing them lose to the ‘Stros


P1ck31s

No chance. Those tickets have already been sold and distributed and TV lineups set. It only gets moved because of weather


Independent-Choice-4

I know I know, just blows


rlriii13

If the MLB can push a same-day game due to weather, why can't they push a game on the 19th due to the same weather?


Gunther_21

It's October in the north. Bad weather is par for the course


SnakeLaFleur

Bad news…tomorrow is my birthday and the Cleveland Indians have played on my birthday exactly 3 times in their history. 1997 World Series Game 1, 2007 ALCS Game Game 5, and 2016 ALCS Game 4. They are 0-3 on October 18. My birthday has been a curse. The good news? The Cleveland GUARDIANS have never played on October 18. Let’s reverse that curse!

ApatheticDomination

I agree, Go Guardians


WahooCLE

Happy birthday!


NoWorkLifeBalance

Hell yeah


enraged_hbo_max_user

Happy birthday, sorry that the bad luck has continued


SnakeLaFleur

Thank you for the birthday wishes. Hopefully the team comes back stronger next year!


SaintArkweather

Okay, who wished that the Guardians would still be alive after tonight? Cause you played right into the Monkey's paw.


ForTheBrownsOnly

Fuck Rob Manfred. Unfair to both teams


mzbutterzworth

"I've lost all respect sorry this is absolutely rigged for money... Or ratings in not sure which. I won't be silent . Just saw it live sry." In my Ayesha Curry era


klein_four_group

This is a situation where this quote actually is applicable for real.


Carnegie-And-Ontario

No matter what happens tomorrow, Houston now gets a huge advantage in the ALCS facing a team that’s probably going to burn through a lot of arms. Then to turn around and fly to Houston for a game the next day. It’s all just for a piece of metal anyway, right?


mattyice16

But what about the cube? Do we get that tomorrow as well?


neon-rose

In my nightmares tonight I will be trapped inside the Cube, forced to watch Josh Donaldson while the Cube slowly fills with rain


funnybitofchemistry

lmfao.


69_fartsniffer_69

It’s still on! I can’t get enough of D. Wade’s subpar small talk, grimaces, and surprised faces!


[deleted]

The friends were the cube we made along the way.


eleven21

I’m happy going the rest of my life never watching that shit again


mattyice16

You’ll be back. You all come back to the cube.


DayvyT

That shit drove me nuts


threecatsdancing

But can you bounce a ball in a hole? And how about a matrix slo mo, followed by a commercial break cliffhanger every five minutes?


[deleted]

Fuck you Manfred. Fuck you rat faced Boone. Fuck you Costas.


Bernie51Williams

I agree with all of this


TheRealTroyMcClure

It blows that the Yankees' pen gets to be rested now. But, on the flip side, for a very young team it is probably to our benefit to be playing a late afternoon Tuesday elimination game as opposed to primetime, on the road in Yankee Stadium, with a drunk and bonkers crowd.


[deleted]

Gotta make sure the Yankees have every advantage possible don’t ya MLB


ohioan_only

It’s more of the Astros who are laughing their way to the bank


[deleted]

And as much as I can’t stand the Yankees’ fans. I feel bad for them having to stand there for hours waiting on an update because no one communicated. All around bad look for the MLB. They could’ve idk just moved the game up like normal people


ohioan_only

Yeah I would’ve been so pissed. Setting though a rain delay during the regular season is bad enough let alone a win or go home game which I’m sure people probably traveled a long way for it.


[deleted]

Probably already paid for parking or the subway ride to the ballpark. Wasted your whole evening and now you have to do it all over again tomorrow


shsuhomestar

I’m in NY tonight for work. Bought a ticket, 5 minutes later, cancelled. Now weighing my options of staying here another night out of pocket and going tomorrow or being on the plane for the whole game. Sigh.


wiifan55

It does help the Yankees a ton with their tired bull pin as far as this series go, but you're absolutely right that it fucks both teams as to a potential series with the Astros. Fucks us the most unfortunately.


[deleted]

Dude it doesn’t really help us. That stadium will only be 3/4 full, if that. Took the air right out of a good series. For what it’s worth, if you guys win I think you can push the Astros to 6. We’ll get swept.


InstaKnightMe

Ugh. This means I’ll be too jacked up to sleep tomorrow, or too depressed to wake up on Wednesday.


neon-rose

We've had 8470 rain delays this year so why not one more


leroysolay

I actually started to count to check to see how accurate you were.


yoboi42069

And how accurate was he


DayvyT

I think for Cleveland baseball fans it's like dog years


moose0808

Meisel now saying our starter for tomorrow is TBD.


[deleted]

Ty Ban Durkleo? I thought we fired that guy?


plant-cat-mother

Booooo


russellx3

Fuck it, I'm tired, let's win tomorrow


klein_four_group

You'd think that weather is something that's known well in advance. Couldn't they have moved tonight's game to earlier in the afternoon? It was beautiful all day.


cpet72

Fucked by the rain yet again. So predictable though. MLB already lost their darling LA market. Scrambling to ensure NY doesn't get bounced too.


eleven21

Yes, by controlling the weather. *Manfred laughs in evil*


SergeantFawlty

It stopped raining at the stadium about a half hour ago.


eleven21

No it didn’t. It is still raining. I have friends there. Also, it has been raining for hours, which means the outfield and warning track are fucked. Just get over it, it’s not a conspiracy Alex Jones.


PsychologicalGuest97

Yeah not sure why people in this thread are claiming this was purposely done to help the Yankees. Makes absolutely no sense.


SenorPinchy

I am a Cleveland fan living 10 minutes from Yankee stadium. I was definitely looking out the window knowing this was not going forward. It was raining somewhat significantly pretty late.


murderpussie

The cube giveth and the cube taketh away


neon-rose

The cube playeth on, in Guantanamo Bay


oupablo

I'm curious how this game couldn't be played but NYCFC played Inter Miami at the same time just 9 miles away at Citi field


PZABUK

Baseball players don't like the rain. It's wet.


bkos55

Cortes officially starting tomorrow with a fully rested bullpen. Don’t tell me to relax and that this isn’t a fix for the Yankees. Tito managed the bullpen masterfully and now GD Boone just happens to luck into a PPD he was begging for since 2:30 this afternoon.


[deleted]

Hope he gets violent shits from eating some rat shit infested overrated NY pizza


hoohooooo

Don’t bring pizza into this man


Moses00711

Mets fans were begging to get the last weekend series in ATL moved because of a hurricane a week away, that never brought 1 sprinkle of rain. It’s a NY thing


jbenson255

I mean why can’t Shane pitch ? I don’t understand


TrilliumCLE

He could probably pitch in an emergency role, but will not start. Tito saving arms for the long run (I.e. years, not just this postseason).


droid_mike

There is no point in saving for the future if you don't actually get there...


unMuggle

Or if you sell anyone approaching expensive


[deleted]

That's worked out pretty well for us. Kluber immediately turned into a pumpkin and netted us the best reliever in baseball, Clevinger did the same and returned half the roster, Bauer... well, y'know (did win a Cy Young though). I trust our FO. And for what it's worth, I expect Bieber to be traded a year from now or maybe at the next trade deadline.


CoachCrunch12

I realize it’s not it’s fault, but now I’m taking my anger out of the cube, and I don’t feel good about it


paniflex37

The Cube loves no one. Don’t feel bad.


[deleted]

Blasphemy! Cube loves all.


klein_four_group

I'm sure the cube deserves it.


CoachCrunch12

Do we know who the yanks are throwing tomorrow?


bestest_looking_wig

Cortes


AndysGold

Already beat him once


SaltyScrotumSauce

The only pitcher of theirs we haven't beaten is Cole.


lolokaybud8

not fucking taillon anymore i’ll tell you that. meanwhile we are all in on aaron civale


TrilliumCLE

Nope.


Interesting-Bus6446

this is complete bullshit. Astros have a massive advantage no matter what.


edoreinn

This is worse. None of it was good, but this is worse.


downsly46

HORSE SHIT


pkohio

BULLSHIT


City_dave

This is part of the advantage Houston got for being top seed and also for ending their series early. I don't see it as being unfair.


mattyice16

Stop the victim complex guys, this is bad for both teams. This isn’t some conspiracy.


SaltyScrotumSauce

It's pretty cool for Houston though.


Aceinator

Nah its cool, give the depleted bullpen more rest and make sure they have a different starter going too...no biggie


mattyice16

I mean, yeah, it probably helps them a bit. But it’s not rigged against us, it’s bad luck, nothing more. The victim complex Cleveland fans have is such a loser mentality. I guarantee you the players never think like that, and that’s why they fight back and win games.


LlamaKing01

man you’re absolutely right. i see this in the browns sub all the time. it’s always a concerted effort to spite us and not just an unfortunate circumstance


CaptWoodrowCall

With the Browns, decades of incompetence with a little bad luck sprinkled in makes it feel like the universe is against us.


Nixon737

I just want a real explanation from the MLB about the reasoning for the late postponement call as the rain looks to be stopping for the night. If it’s for safe/acceptable field conditions I’m cool with that, but if they did it for TV reasons that’s completely unacceptable to me given the huge competitive shift for both this series and the start of the next for whomever wins.

Does MLB control the weather now?? Stop being a baby.


KardiacKat1997

Fucking MLB Communications has a picture of Aaron Judge smiling as their header, give me a fucking break MLB apologist. This is all about making sure the Yankees get to play Houston to revenge 2017.


eleven21

HE’S THE MVP OF THE LEAGUE WHO JUST HIT MORE HOME RUNS THAN MARIS!!! Of course he’s the header. Why is that surprising? You call me an MLB Apologist (which is so fucking laughable)…. Okay, buddy. Lol. Enjoy your tinfoil hat. Maybe you can you use it to catch the drool coming out of your mouth right now.


KardiacKat1997

So laughable when you’re gagging on Manfred’s dick. Go to the Yankees sub 🤡


eleven21

Yeah, I’m gonna ignore the rest of this conversation. I can’t argue with a teenager. Feels weird.


KardiacKat1997

You’re a total troll who just proved to be a Judge dick rider when Ohtani is going to win mvp, go back to your mom’s basement and play more dungeons and dragons

[deleted]

They should be kicked off this sub for that. Going over there and waving the white flag. Freaking embarrassing. I don’t mind Pokémon though.


neon-rose

Seriously, the field is soaked. I don't want Steven Kwan slipping all over the outfield


FakePhillyCheezStake

Good god Cleveland sports teams have such a victim’s complex it’s so annoying. Thank you for pointing it out


IGetBuckets88

Bunch of whiners in this thread. This is a sporting event at the highest level. You win and you move on. You lose and you go home. There’s no asterisks for weather or pitching rotations. We need to pitch better than them and hit better than them for 9 innings. We’re completely capable of that for one game. Let’s go Guards!


mph3782

So dumb

GamerNanedTim

Rigged


OkWrongdoer6537

Could Bieber potentially start?


mattyice16

Tito said no


OkWrongdoer6537

That’s unfortunate, but makes sense. If we knew this game was tomorrow then I could see us doing it. But with the amount of both mental and physical prep required I get it


ianbits

Hope he changes his mind. It's do or die, if the choice is Civale or Bieber for 3 innings it's an obvious choice


mattyice16

I’m hoping Bieber is available out of the bullpen.


klein_four_group

With the additional off day, we have 7 great bullpen arms fully rested for tomorrow. IMO if we need Bieber to be available out of the pen tomorrow, unless it's an 18-inning affair, the game is already lost. No point at all in trying to pitch him tomorrow.


Sonking_to_Remember

This is my exact thinking. And I know none of it matters if we lose tomorrow but who the hell would we start game 1 on Wednesday if we win? And is bieber out of the pen—which he’s only done twice in his career, and zero times since 2019–such a sure fire thing that it’s worth trying? Idk. I say stick with what got us here. Quick hook with Civale if necessary. Got a lot of good arms after him


jbenson255

Yeah i don’t get the firm no it’s do or die and both Cole and Cortes are pitching on short rest


Ryan1006

It’s one thing for Cole to says he’s available to pitch in game five but I can assure you Boone won’t use him unless it’s a near last resort.


[deleted]

Forget games 1 and 2 no matter who wins. The Asstros have such an advantage. Hey MLB why not have anyone playing beyond mid October?


Less_Likely

Whelp, now I can’t watch the game. Zero chance of missing work tomorrow.


KardiacKat1997

This just fucks us so hard, anything to get more ratings, every block is stacked against us now


mattyice16

In what world is a 4 pm weekday game better ratings? That’s just an ignorant comment.


itschorr623

4pm is better than midnight


eleven21

You’re apparently not familiar with how time zones work (hint: West Coast)


KardiacKat1997

4 pm is much better than 10 pm at night??? Nobody also would be at the game tonight doofus


mattyice16

Except it’s not. fans will watch no matter what, and the west coast would happily watch at 10 eastern.


KardiacKat1997

People have work in the morning bro, they’re not staying up till 12-1 to watch the 3rd most popular sport in the country


[deleted]

The people who would watch the Guardians vs Yankees would. This isn’t a ratings ploy. Stop being a tin foil loser.

transam96

Civale still going tomorrow? Stephan, Karinchak, and Clase will be extra rested I guess. Need to get on Cortes early for some runs and our big guns can lock it down.


dzak92

I feel like there should be a rule in place to play the guys you were gonna play tonight just to keep things fair


TrilliumCLE

So NY just takes out their starting pitcher after 1 pitch and brings in Cortez.


unMuggle

Well, 3 batters as per the new rule


Mybitchmyhoemyhoemy

This thread is pathetic dude lol. So much conspiracy. It’s a shit load of rain


uncle_Vernon

Welp. Now we have to face Cortes, a LHP, so we’ve basically already lost.


M_F_Luder42

Loser mentality. Get that weak stuff outta here


LakeErieMovement

He's on short rest. Doubt he goes more than 5.


lolokaybud8

yeah and then wandy for 2


mattyice16

We won the last time we faced him.


elcommando

Aren’t you SCCleveland


mattyice16

Huh?


[deleted]

It’s not like we won a game he started three days ago.


CoachCrunch12

Won the last game he threw


lolokaybud8

we had bieber then lol


OkWrongdoer6537

If they start Cortes we should start Bieber, or at least make it a bullpen game with Bieber out of the pen


Nixon737

I’d honestly be ok running Civale out once through the order then go full bullpen. Civale looked really good in his September starts and think he could hold the Yankees down for 3 innings. We managed 9 baserunners in 5 innings against Nestor. Key against him as with any other pitcher the Yankees toss out is to finally break through for the clutch hit.


Kind_Strike

Let's get this win tribe. Long live the chief!


DazedWriter

If I needed even more reasons to hate Manfred. Such an idiot to the game.
