Impy, there is a bit of chatter about the strategy of CLEVE skipping Jimenez on SUN and save him for the inevitable elimination game, likely on WED.

Since TB 1pm is an hour earlier than CLEVE 2pm gametime .. if TB is way behind ... Jimenez could get pulled early.

TEX 3pm also .. with a 2-hour advantage ... gotta wonder if they might do something different with Darvish if TB is way behind or has lost.

It takes some thought ... TEX is facing sure elimination on MON and if MON never happens (because they clinch on SUN) ... then they have Darvish for WED. On the other hand, they might be better using Darvish for the clincher on SUN to avoid facing Price on MON.

Cleve has a 97% of getting to the wildcard game (in theory), yet a 50% chance of being eliminated on that day (WED). They need Jimenez on WED.

Are you hoping for the chaos of a 3 way tie? I am.

They should do like in soccer, on the last day of the season, all the games start at the same time.
