...Bauer's bleeding finger...Francona shed some humor on Bauer cutting his pinky finger on a drone; http://www.espn.com/video/clip?id=17795762
Saw that, though not malicious like our old buddy Kevin Brown in '04, I thought Bauer was doing a bit of Cadillacing with the 3-0 finger routine at the Jays Fans. Newsflash Trev, ask your manager about '04. You can Cadillac all you want to after game Four is in the sack. Hopefully Francona had a chat with Bauer over that move, and yep thus far the Indians are doing all the right moves.
...^^^yeah, talking smack before it is a done deal can come back to bite you...but it is kinda funny watching the frustration of the Jays...and the excuses they are making, not to mention the whining.
Escobar and Bautista are the prime whiners with Martin and others joining after last nights post game. In the automotive sense whining would equate to Yugoing. Post season success on an individual basis is probably a prime achievement for Encarnation and Bautista. Old Joey overvalued himself, talked smack and did not produce as expected. Heard that Big Sloppi was talking to Encarnation about coming to Boston in '17. Their poor play and whining won't help them out on the market. Keeping that American League Championship in the US is paramount thus far the Indians are managing that, lets hope it ends that way.
Always liked Francona. Always has his players' back.......more than any other manager.Knows his players in game situations. Wouldn't mind if he became Yankee manager.
Francona uses his staff well to aide in in series strategy adjusting for in game tactics. I'd could envision him as Yankee Manager as well.
