Im just going to go out there and have fun, enjoy it, and try to give my team the best chance to win.Francona said Monday if there was no problem with Bauer, Merritt was in line to start Game 4 and everyone else would stay on normal rest, leaving Bauer in a position to start a potential Game 7.Francona said if there was a malfunction with Bauers finger in Game 3, then Corey Kluber could come back on short rest for Game 4 on Tuesday and also be available for a potential Game 7.
