Wow.

 

Meltdown again partially caused by a raucous home crowd like last year against CUETO.

I think you mean the A's.

Very intense.

Aoki and Cain have been better down the stretch, along with Escobar.

 

I always thought Perez was going to be the best of the bench, along with Hosmer...but that still hasn't happened. With that said, Perez is still probably the best catcher (overall) in the AL.

 

 

Might have to take that one back, haha. Overmatched there.

Gregerson kind of throws like an old knuckle baller

Sal Perez...dude.

Aoki, Cain, Hosmer and Moustakas the only Royals to get a hit off Doolittle....current roster sits at 4/23.

 

 

First interesting decision for Yost will be pinch-hitting Nix or Colon for Moustakas to lead off the bottom of the 9th.

He would fit in perfectly with the White Sox sporting that runner on 3rd, one out approach.

With Herrera, Davis, and Holland as your 7-8-9. Your ace Shields has to go 6 especially with only given up 2 runs with a pitch count below 90. Not a good decision and it came back to bite him by bringing Ventura in.

 

Come on KC, get out of this inning and please scratch in a run some how, some way.

Willingham over Colon/Nix.

 

Too many strikeouts.

 

 

Of course, he'll probably hit a homer to left field with the wind blowing out.

 

 

That worked out. Now you've got Dyson on 2nd base probably (or 3rd) with three chances to drive him in. Royals already set their post-season record with five stolen bases in the first 8 innings.

Who is Josh Willingham?

So it's a guarantee Dyson steals second, right?

I'd prefer taking the chance of Dyson stealing over a sac bunt.

Ned Yost.

When you can't hit home runs, just steal every base possible.

Either team will be incredibly lucky to win this game.

Incredible game

Dyson is insanely fast

Dyson is insanely fast

 

And he's not even the fastest guy on the roster

Serious gas from Finnegan. Maybe he shoulda been in there in the 6th.

Guess we fired Yost too early, haha.

It just makes no sense to bring in Ventura when he has guys like Finnegan, Herrera, Davis and Holland in his pen.

This game makes me wanna watch Micah Johnson.
