CLEVELAND, Ohio – Manager Terry Francona knows this much about his starting rotation for the American League Championship Series – Josh Tomlin started today's Game 2 against Toronto.
After that, it's out of his hands. Not only that, everything rests on the pinkie finger of Trevor Bauer's right hand. In spring training, the Indians were said to have the best starting rotation in the big leagues. Now they have Corey Kluber, Tomlin and a bunch of guys hiding under the couch in case there's another drone attack.
Bauer missed Saturday's Game 2 start after he cut the little finger on his right hand while working on one of his drones Thursday night.
