The Cleveland Indians are once again looking to advance to the ALCS with a win in New York. Trevor Bauer gets the start in Game 4 on short rest.

The Cleveland Indians are looking to set up a meeting with the Houston Astros in the 2017 ALCS, but must first take care of business tonight in New York.

The bats went quiet against Masahiro Tanaka on Sunday night, so fans are hoping the offense can have a big day to give Trevor Bauer some support and finish off the Yankees.

Today’s lineups are as follows:

Lonnie Chisenhall gets the start in left field tonight over Austin Jackson, who will likely factor in late as a pinch hitter if the game is close.

The focus of tonight’s game will be on Bauer, at least early, as he is getting the start on short rest. However, the fact this is a postseason game means he may not be asked to go deep into the game, unless he is dominating like he did in Game 1.

Several members of the bullpen got some action on Sunday night, but no one pitched too much to where they wouldn’t be available tonight.

Be sure to use the comments section on this post as a place to interact with other Indians fans throughout tonight’s game. If you see no one has commented, be the first to do so. Be a pioneer!

And while you’re waiting, check out this amazing video featuring Bauer and his father. It should be plenty to get you hyped before first pitch.

Next: Can Bauer shut down the Yankees once again?

If you aren’t amped and ready for a Bauer Outage, you may not have a pulse. Let’s just hope the true lightning holds off and weather doesn’t become a factor tonight in the Bronx.
