Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2330490, member: 1572"] Interesting that Francona is using his ace (Kluber) in Game 2 and not Game 1. I think that's a nod to the fact that Sabathia has been very hot lately and is a veteran. He probably views CC as a tougher matchup than Gray. That way he puts his best pitcher against CC and yet can still come back with Kluber on four days rest for a potential Game 5. And if Cleveland wins in less than 5 he's got Kluber ready for Game 1 of the ALCS. [/QUOTE]
