caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Tulo ends up batting there, would have been another four out save for Davis. Crisis averted. Did Greg predict a loss this specific game or just Toronto winning the series overall? I guess he will return soon to bet against Ventura and Cueto.

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Hosmer getting more confident again with his batting stroke. Hawkins sucks. Can't believe he's still pitching. Gibbons should have walked Morales to set up another DP and kept it at a four run deficit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Right, they could have used Morales or Duffy/Medlen as well. That's why walking Morales to set up the DP and keeping the lead at four would have made the decision a bit more interesting for Yost. Meanwhile, Royals have only given up four true hits in their last 18 innings of work. Edited October 17, 2015 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morales was one of the most underrated signings from last winter. When you're going good everything works. When you suck, it all sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 One theory presented was overwork or new innings highs (see someone like Arrieta) having that catch up in the postseason, especially when you're there year after year like the Rays or Dodgers or Cardinals...

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Volquez was at 95-97 yesterday, Ventura already amped up by that crowd...97-98 mph in the first. Just 4 hits surrendered in last 19 innings now. As good as the Jays' offense is, having Gordon and Rios at 8/9 in the order shows their overall depth in terms of quality... Price getting the Royals to swing at everything, big DP. Zobrist might end up back at first with the review.

LittleHurt05 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Tulo just does not look right, he probably needed more time off from that injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Rios just does not lay out for anything....and then kind of an emergency inside out hack from Goins that somehow squeezed in down the 3b line. Royals also benefitted from a nifty defensive play from Escobar and Encarnacion falling asleep at 2b and getting picked off the previous inning or the lead would be 2-0 or 3-0. Shadows still giving pitchers the advantage. Can't believe Price is 0-6 in six post-seasons starts, two victories came in relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 12 in a row retired by Price. If the Royals hadn't swept the Tigers the last three games of 2006 (giving the Twins the division...Detroit would eventually get to the World Series as the WC behind Verlander)..they would have had the worst record in the majors and selected David Price. TB finished one game worse and the Royals took Moustakas, the Cubs selected Josh Vitters. Wieters, Bumgarner, Heyward and Mesoraco were all on the board for Chicago to choose instead.

caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Royals don't give up. Goins way too aggressive this inning...Moustakas' first post-season RBI, was just 2/24 before that at-bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I usually won't do this to a non-pitcher, but this game is on Goins if Toronto loses. What the f*** is he doing out there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 Crazy that Price might end up 0-7 in seven postseason starts.... and he's going to get $200 million plus. Cubs are going to have to think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
