Fister could be a good buy-low candidate, Samardzija too. Of course, there's Grienke, Price, Zimmerman if we're looking at proven top of the rotation starter as well. Cueto too, but I can't imagine many would be happy to see him in a Toronto uniform.

what did you think we meant with the "we want Cueto" chants in game 3

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

Precious lord.

 

[Loosie]

Precious lord.

My goodness you can't tell from that delivery. It's uncanny that Estrada DOES NOT MOVE in that gif.

 

[p.l.f.]

No shadows for this one
But I heard it might rain later

Whatever happens from here on in, it's been a hell of a ride.

Let's hope Price can finally get that monkey off his back and force a game 7.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Being top 3 is pretty nice. This will be a big moment in Price's life

 

[p.l.f.]

If it rains after 3 innings for like an hr it'll tough for price

The fear is you start Price, he goes two innings, the game is delayed for an hour or two, you can't go back to Price. What do you do?

.....start Liam Hendriks, two innings, Price in after delay.

You really misspelled Pennington there...

 

[Revolt]

Yea the forecast doesn't look great.

A delay in such a pivotal game would suck.

why would you not be able to put Price back in? gets cold?

 

[p.l.f.]

Dickey that would be enh...
You gotta bring back price just to see if it works despite the delay

 

[Diamond Joe Quimby]

why would you not be able to put Price back in? gets cold?

Yeah. It's not good at all for a pitcher's arm.

I think an extended delay would be the worse case scenario.

Would they be able to go to Stroman or Dicky after a delay and then, if needed, bring Price back for game 7?

 

[Daisy Jane]

i say.
everyone goes back on the plane, come to Toronto and take advantage of climate control stadium.

All depends on how many pitches he threw prior to the delay.

In all honesty, if they think there is a legitimate chance that the game will begin and then be delayed, they will likely start a reliever and then go to Price. It's simply the most logical thing to do.

Good thinking.

I checked the weather and it looks fine but maybe I'm looking at the wrong KC.

I'd go right back to Price after the delay. Now if it's 3-4 hours or something crazy then probably not but if it's like an hour, I don't see why not. This could be potentially his last game in a Jays uni, I say ride him

 

[Loosie]

Yes a delay would suck tonight, but it would effect both teams, hopefully the Jays can capitalize and jump out to an early lead.

No, you've got the right one. I see 10% of precipitation from 8-10, then 40% at 10, back down to 10% at 11.

If those percentages hold, a delay, if there even is one, would be short. In that circumstance, you start Price.

 

[Loosie]

Here is what the weather network is saying:

Rain is forecast throughout the day Friday in Kansas City, with the heaviest precipitation expected mainly through the afternoon.

Fortunately, the rain is set to taper off around game time, but wet weather conditions and spotty showers are still possible. With Game 6 to take place at Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium – an outdoor venue – these conditions may interfere.
