TORONTO -- The sun was shining in Toronto about an hour before Game 5 of the AL Championship Series -- just not inside Rogers Centre, where the retractable roof was closed for a third straight day.If that was disappointing for any fans, it didnt seem to be much of an issue for the players.It can go either way. Obviously its a lot tougher to hit when you have shadows, Cleveland outfielder Coco Crisp said. Im sure the hitters prefer it this way. Pitching Im not so sure. Im not on that end. Me personally, Im happy its (closed).The postseason protocol in Toronto calls for the commissioner or a designee to decide what to do with the roof, in consultation with the Blue Jays and the crew chief. The decision is supposed to take into account how the home team handles the issue during the regular season.An Major League Baseball official said Wednesday that the temperature was close to the normal threshold for closing the roof in Toronto. With the first pitch scheduled for 4:08 p.m., it was possible the weather could become a bit colder during the game.The Indians led the Blue Jays 3-1 in the best-of-seven matchup.Cleveland slugger Carlos Santana said he likes it fine when the roof is closed, although he said it seems a little dark when its not open.Crisp said hes never had any problems with the lighting level when the dome is closed.I never thought any different. Im used to playing with the dome closed, Crisp said. Its only been maybe once or twice where Ive played with it open. Either way, it doesnt matter.The Blue Jays were sending Marco Estrada to the mound against Cleveland rookie Ryan Merritt for Game 5, and Toronto manager John Gibbons was glad there wouldnt be any shadows to worry about.You dont want shadows. We play better when we score runs, Gibbons said. Estrada is a big deception guy, anyway, whether you can see him or not. Maybe (the shadows) would help this young kid, so dont give him any advantages when hes throwing.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtristerZapatillas Nike Zoom Baratas . -- Adam Snyder returned to the San Francisco 49ers this season because the offensive lineman thought it was his best opportunity to win a championship.
