CLEVELAND -- Trevor Bauer, the Cleveland Indians starting pitcher in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday, was knocked out before it even began -- by Trevor Bauer.Or, more accurately, by a drone he was cleaning.Bauer, a devotee of drones, has been scratched from his scheduled start in Game 2 after suffering a lacerated small finger on his right hand while doing some routine maintenance on the drone, according to Indians manager Terry Francona. The wound required several stitches on the outside of the finger.This was not malicious, Francona said. He wasnt doing something that, I mean, he could have been opening a box in the kitchen. Things happen. I wish it wouldnt have, but it wasnt done maliciously. It wasnt done by being silly. It just happened.Because it happened, Josh Tomlin, who was scheduled to start the third game of the series, will now start in place of Bauer in Game 2. Bauers start has been moved back to Game 3, which will be played Monday in Toronto.Francona said Indians doctors believe that two extra days of rest should be enough to allow Bauer to make that start Monday. In the meantime, Tomlin will try to extend the momentum the Indians gained from a brilliantly pitched Game 1 on Friday night, when starter Corey Kluber and relievers Andrew Miller and Cody Allen combined on a seven-hit shutout in a 2-0 victory.The Blue Jays will also be dealing with an injury in Game 2, perhaps an injury even worse than Bauers. Toronto second baseman Devon Travis was removed from Fridays game in the fifth inning with a leg injury. Travis injured a knee while covering first base on a bunt in the fifth inning. He immediately left the game.It hurts pretty bad, Travis said. I felt good going into the game. I covered first on that bunt and jarred my knee a little bit. I felt a super sharp pain in my knee and it felt like it was going to give out a little bit.Travis, who missed Games 3 and 4 of the Division Series with Texas because of a right knee bruise, will have an MRI on Saturday.The Blue Jays added infielder Ryan Goins to their ALCS roster as an insurance against Travis not being able to play and probably didnt think they were going to have to make the switch this soon. Goins will almost certainly start at second base in Game 2.The pitching matchup will be Tomlin against Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ. Tomlin is 1-0 with a 3.60 ERA in the postseason. In his last start, he pitched five innings and was the winning pitcher in the Indians Division Series-clinching 4-3 victory over the Red Sox in Boston last Monday.It doesnt affect me at all, Tomlin said of his start being moved up one day. It will be on my fifth day. Ill be on normal rest.Happ, 33, has had a career year, going 20-4 with a 3.18 ERA. His one start against the Indians was a beauty. In a 17-1 win on July 3, he pitched seven innings, allowing one run and five hits with 11 strikeouts and no walks. In six career appearances (five starts) against Cleveland, he is 3-1 with a 2.86 ERA.I didnt expect him to win 20 games, to be honest with you, Toronto manager John Gibbons said. Hes come together in the later stage of his career and I figure hell be good for a number of years to come.Tomlin was 0-1 with a 6.10 ERA in two starts against Toronto this year. In five career starts against the Blue Jays, he is 1-1 with a 5.53 ERA. Yeezy China Wholesale . 10 VCU 85-67 on Thursday night at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off.

At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. As we head into the final quarter, lets take stock of a season that in many ways has gone as expected: The National League is largely split into the haves and the have-nots, the AL East race is tightly fought among multiple teams, and the AL wild card has many contenders.Which teams have been the biggest surprises and disappointments? One way to look at this is to compare each teams current record with its preseason projected record. I took each teams win-loss mark entering Sunday, projected that over 162 games and compared that win total with the average preseason projection from ZiPS, FanGraphs and Baseball Prospectus.Five biggest overachievers: Texas Rangers: +14 Baltimore Orioles: +11 Chicago Cubs: +10 Washington Nationals: +9 Philadelphia Phillies: +9Five biggest underachievers: Tampa Bay Rays: -14 Minnesota Twins: -13 Los Angeles Angels: -13 Arizona Diamondbacks: -12 Atlanta Braves: -12By this accounting, the New York Mets?are not the most disappointing team as many would suggest, as their preseason projections pegged them for 89 wins and theyre on pace for 80. On the other hand, the Mets were favorites to win the NL East, or at least win a wild card, and even the latter now appears unlikely.dddddddddddd Most ESPN voters picked the Mets to make the playoffs; at FanGraphs, 47 of 55 staff members picked them to make the playoffs.The Houston Astros are on pace for 83 wins, just three below their projected win total of 86. They currently, however, will be watching the playoffs on television, which means all 55 FanGraphs voters will be wrong.The Rangers have exceeded expectations thanks to a remarkable 27-8 record in one-run games. The Orioles have overachieved, at least in comparison to the projection systems, but as Orioles fans will happily point out, the projection systems seem to always underrate their team. Some fans will view this as an indictment of the projection systems. See, theyre wrong again. Theres also a margin of error, however, so its really just proof that -- thankfully -- baseball still remains unpredictable.Anyway, I wanted to look at some of the major offseason moves of a few teams and reflect on how theyve affected the current standings.
