CHICAGO -- Trevor Bauer can fly the Indians to a championship.Go finger, er, figure.The eccentric right-hander, who cut his right pinkie while repairing a drone and almost ruined his teams postseason chances, will start Game 5 on Sunday as Cleveland tries to win its first World Series title since 1948.Manager Terry Francona had other options like Danny Salazar or rookie left-hander Ryan Merritt, who started the Indians AL pennant-clinching win over the Toronto Blue Jays. But he has decided to stick with Bauer, who lost Game 2 but can now make up for his off-field mishap.Ryan Merritt did a nice job for us against Toronto, but Trevor Bauer has been a good pitcher for us for four years, Francona said before Cleveland beat the Chicago Cubs 7-2 Saturday night at Wrigley Field for a 3-1 lead.Bauers run-in with a propeller on one of the drones he built, threatened to upend Clevelands storybook season. The Indians were already missing starters Danny Salazar (forearm tightness) and Carlos Carrasco (broken hand) and Bauers odd accident only make things more complicated.He was scheduled to start Game 2 of the AL Championship against Toronto, but Bauer sustained a cut that required 11 stitches. His start got pushed back one game, but Bauer didnt make it out of the first inning because his finger ripped open and bled profusely after just four batters.The Indians were able to win the pennant anyway and Bauers hand wasnt a problem during his first Series start.Everything else was.After the Indians won the opener 6-0 behind Corey Kluber, Bauer couldnt keep the momentum going with a laborious 87-pitch outing that lasted just 3 2/3 innings and had a lot to do with a 5-1 game lasting more than four hours.Bauer spent the first few innings constantly shaking off catcher Roberto Perezs signs and wound up allowing two runs and six hits. Those stats arent bad, but Clevelands hitters couldnt do anything against Cubs starter Jake Arrieta and the Indians left for Chicago tied 1-1.Its been a different story at Wrigley Field, where the Indians have gotten solid starts from Josh Tomlin and Kluber and will now turn to Bauer, who won 12 games during the regular season but is 0-1 with a 5.00 ERA in just nine innings in the postseason.The 25-year-old said his finger is completely healed and hes approaching his biggest start -- and potentially a history-making one for the Indians -- like he always does.You prepare for the game the same way, and some games you go out there and you have a feel right away, and some games you go out there and you dont, he said. So, for whatever time Im in the game, I do the same thing. I try to go with whats working and find a feel for whats not. Sometimes you do, sometimes you dont. So its very similar to a regular season game in that regard.The Indians are never sure what theyll get from Bauer, who began the season in Clevelands bullpen before joining the rotation in late April.We expect a Trevor start, second baseman Jason Kipnis said with a chuckle. Were not sure what that means but we expect Trevor to go out there Hes a competitor. Dont let him fool you. Hes a guy who competes and never makes a moment too big. Whether he has it or not, it isnt because the situations too big.Its just that he tries to find it, hes a rhythm pitcher and theres not one guys on the staff they we dont feel confident is going to give us a chance to win and hes one of those guys. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Ezekiel-Elliott-Jersey/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.cowboysrookieproshop.com/Cowboys-Maliek-Collins-Jersey/ .

It is a cliché dragged out by fans and pundits regularly when discussions take place around which teams are better than others. GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Rescheduling the LSU-Florida game might not be as easy as it seems for the Southeastern Conference.The SEC postponed the game scheduled for Saturday because of Hurricane Matthew, which was bearing down Thursday on Floridas east coast. The league said it will work with both universities to reschedule the game later in the season, if possible.The schools have different opinions on how it should be handled, and ultimately the league will decide.The 18th-ranked Gators (4-1, 2-1 SEC) ideally would like to play the game Nov. 19 in Gainesville, a scenario that doesnt seem very attractive for the Tigers.Florida and LSU each play nonconference games at home that Saturday and would need to buy out those opponents, South Alabama for the Tigers and Presbyterian for the Gators. LSU (3-2, 2-1) would be on the hook for $1.5 million to South Alabama, and Florida would have to pay $500,000 to Presbyterian of the Football Championship Subdivision.Doing that would mean the Tigers would end the regular season with three consecutive road games -- against Arkansas (Nov. 12), Florida (Nov. 19) and Texas A&M (Nov. 24).We told the league were 100 percent committed to whatever scenario they can come up with, Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley said. Certainly we dont have a consistent open date. ... Its not as easy sometimes as it seems and involves other games, it involves other teams, it involves television contracts, whatever have you.Whatever scenario they come up with, were going to be in favor of. We want to play the football game.LSU would rather not play three straight league games on the road, especially considering the last one, against the Aggies, is during a shortened week. It also would mean giving up a home game and losing revenue for the school and the city.I havent come to a decision on that yet, but it would be pretty damn tough to play on the 19th and then play A&M on Thursday, so Ive got to do whats in the best interest of the team, LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said.The Tigers are likely to push for a cancellation of the game.The SEC has an insurance policy that covers lost game revenue for all 14 schools, but its unclear how much it would cover in this scenario.ddddddddddddTheres insurance and scenarios and TV and all those type of things, Foley said. Thats why it will be handled in the league. The money is not an issue. Can it be worked out? Those are conversations that you probably need to hold with the Southeastern Conference. If it can be worked out, well be thrilled, excited and ready to play that football game and I know our fans will be, too.LSU offered to host the game in Baton Rouge on Sunday or fly in and out of Gainesville that day, but Foley said it would be almost impossible to accommodate that request.To try to put a road trip together of 150-plus people in a day and half, not knowing the condition of the roads, not knowing the conditions of the airports, trying to get equipment out there, Foley said. Again, not in the best interest of safety, not in the best interest of people that would be involved in that trip. ... People in this state may be dealing with stuff that is far more significant, far more serious. So that really didnt work, either.I really understand the interest in the game, peoples desire to play the game. At the end of the day, we make these decisions based on what matters, and peoples safety is what matters. Thats why the decision was made as it did. It took as long as it did because a lot of moving parts.The biggest question surrounding the game if its not made up would be how it affects the SEC standings. If either team wins out, there could be potential ramifications for Auburn, Tennessee and maybe others. The SEC said Thursday that a team that finishes 6-1 in league play would go to the conference title game over a 6-2 team even if the 6-2 won a head-to-head matchup.They have to play that football game, Volunteers coach Butch Jones said. I know the SEC will do the right thing.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
