ChiefsPlanet - Royals *** Official Kansas City Royals @ New York Mets World Series Game 3 Thread ***

Because we have games the next two nights. You use Hoch for 2 tonight and he's probably out tomorrow. Now you can pitch him if you need him.

Even if Hoch gets through the 6th, who do you bring out for the 7th? Morales was probably pitching at some point tonight. This is what happens when your starter can't get deep enough into the game. Somebody has to cover all those outs.

Medlen, Madson, Herrera, Davis. Morales is the only pitcher on the entire team that made absolutely no sense in that situation.

We will win it at home. Kansas City will go crazy.

Morales is the worst pitcher on the post season roster. I honestly can't remember Duffy having a bad post season so far, but w/e.

Yep, you're right, better merge them.

Gotta tell you, up close. It's surprising how irritating even one night of happiness is for Mets fans is to me.

I think you're nuts to use Herrera or Davis in any of these situations, but your mileage may vary.

I still don't think people are thinking 4th dimensionally in these situations. Okay you burn Herrera in the 6th inning. Who pitches the 7th? The 8th? Morales was probably going to pitch tonight at some point. We are going to have to play two more games after tonight without a break. You can't burn up Herrera and Davis too much tonight.

Because using Herrera and Davis for three straight nights (potentially) is ****ing genious.

It doesn't matter who we pitch tonight. They are seeing everyone really well

This is the only thing that truly upsets me about losing tonight. I think we're still in good position to win the series, but I hate to give these ****ers any daylight.

We can get 3 runs top of the 8th and get 4 runs in the 9th. That's doable.

It's just the nature of the beast. I think we still have the advantage, but if they win tomorrow night the narrative will completely shift to them... tie series and they have their three aces going again.

Nobody disagrees with your sunk cost point.

Duffy was brought in at a critical point where Ventura was imploding. He did a great job getting out of the inning without additional damage. He should've pitched a few moar innings (I think we agree that he shouldn't have been pinch hit for even if we disagree with the call to bring him into the game).

Medlen is being saved for tomorrow night. If CY isn't on his game I'd expect a quick hook with Medlen coming into throw 3+ innings.

All times are GMT -6. The time now is 03:30 PM.
