Close, but not enough to overturn. Not real smart of Yost to waste a challenge on that.

 

 

Alex Rios forgot how many outs there were on a fly ball to right. Wilmer Flores appeared to leave third base too soon, but there wasn't irrefutable evidence to call him out. It's not often you see two brain cramps of that magnitude on the same play in a major league game.

Cespedes has cost himself some of the millions he gained from his strong second half performance in NY.

 

Like with Cueto, there are going to be some hard questions from AL teams about overpaying.

 

You overreact to everything

Pulling Matz was the biggest mistake.

 

I don't get this whole thing the last couple of WS....yanking starters and putting in other starters just because they gave up a run.

 

Matz was fine. He was 59 pitches into the 5th.

 

So a run came in...they were still up 3-2.

 

It promptly went to sh*t from there.

 

Let your STARTERS THROW THEIR GAME.

 

And Tyler Clippard???? You are BEGGING to lose when you bring him in.

Whether or not the Royals close this out won't affect Hahn's plans at all.

 

Yes, but it sets an even higher bar or standard. From Point A to B is a massive gulf, at least for the moment.

 

You can't make the argument a 500ish team is just going to somehow luck into the playoffs when the Twins and Indians are better positioned with young position player talent and the Tigers will be able to outspend the White Sox to make one final go with their older core.

 

 

 

As for subbing Niese, it didn't make much sense because the splits aren't so pronounced where he just mows down lefties.

 

Im sure Collins will argue he was out of gas and not conditioned with only 9 starts and a long layoff and then back problems to go deep into games.

 

 

And now the Mets will really have to be careful if Familia gets a save situation tmrw.

As to Cespedes, he's a decent lf/rf, but he has certainly been exposed for those teams potentially considering him for CF.

 

You have to lose some of that premium value as a result.

 

I'm not sure that is an overreaction as much as an obvious observation. And then getting picked off with the tying run coming up next and D'Arnaud the best catcher offensively in the second half, it's pretty pathetic. He's a very talented player, but not always a heady, winning one.

Already down 5-3 by then.

 

Pulling Matz was the FAIL.

 

Should've never done that.

 

 

The Royals were down 3-2 before Hosmer's ball to Murphy.

 

He makes the play and it's runners on second and third, two outs for Moustakas and the Mets clinging to the lead. They probably would have loaded the bases to face Perez, for the Rhb/Rhp matchup.

Cespedes is EXACTLY what the White Sox should go all out for and sign. HE IS PERFECT for this team.

 

You're a fool if you don't see this.
