Who we got on the mound pitching game 4? Better bring A+ game

Good news for us. Winning teams are 3-0 in elimination games this postseason.

So, Rios has been the worst hitter this ALDS??

Dyson and Orlando should be platooning. No reason for Rios to see the field.

Should've been that way all year. The only criticism I have of DM was his insistence to justify that 11M of dead money from Rios. He was a great bounce back candidate but after he broke his hand that dream died.

Hopefully they platoon those 2 next year. Cheap productive OF spot. And they need to start tomorrow

I haven't been keeping track, should I wait for someone to post a fake thread, get banned, then post my thread, or should I just ignore everything else and post my thread at 12:01?

CoMo is no mo. Post that shit up.

We need big Mo. I have not done a single game thread this year.


Is it time?

I'm not going to lie. I had given them up for dead after his 2nd home run of the day.

It's never felt better to be as dead wrong as I possibly could have in my entire life.

Their win seriously took the edge off of what was a really shitty day otherwise. I'd go as far as to say it turned it around.

I know I've said after last year's postseason and this year's regular season, that anything in the playoffs was a bonus and icing on the cake. When they made their trade deadline moves it reignited the hunger to see them do some damage and make a little noise in October.
This series, if it had ended would have left a bad taste in my mouth because the 8th inning is pretty much the only time we've seen this team play their brand of baseball. Otherwise, 90% of the lineup looked flat. Game 1 was a good example. With Morales hitting 2 homeruns, a typical day with the Royals offense would dictate the Royals win that game at least 90% of the time.
For as shaky as the rotation has been, I would place at least just as much blame on a lineup of mostly cold bats in all 4 games up until today's 8th. Houston had been doing a better job of getting guys over and bringing them home which is not their MO.
I hope the outcome of today's game will be the catalyst to get everyone dialed in!

Now it's time to cash in on the Cueto trade and for him to step up and shut the Astros down!

The game on Wensday but your right about cueto.

Practically all these lineups are stout and it's not reasonable to expect 7IP/2R. Those are the exceptions. Even the NL has good power in their lineups. If Cueto goes 6/3 that's a damn good start and that's why they call it "quality".

Hopefully Dyson starts in right vs the RH pitcher.......

I'd take a 6 inning 3 run start from Cueto right now.

That'd be nice.
