Butler with another RBI single. Royals' best hitter now comes to the plate as the potential winning run

 

 

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.

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.

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.

 

Who is Josh Willingham?

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

 

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