Royals my phone died last night while I was in a Ned Yost fit of rage - Page 2

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 08:24 AM

but the funniest thing, for me, this postseason is simple

there was a GDT this year where I, of course, spent 2 ****ing hours arguing about a fly ball to CF where Jirschele didn't sent Morales from 3rd with Kiermaier in centerfield with 0 outs ...

and about 5 people concluded ...

MIKE JIRSCHELE WAS GOING TO LOSE US POSTSEASON GAMES.

And we'll end this thread there.

I like you, man ... and you were ... but you took the 'optimistic' approach to an extreme

every Royals fan in the world deserved to "lose their shit" Pete style on that HR ball to Bautista.

I would have been fine if Davis gave it up. Their best beat our best. Fine.

But leaving Madson in for that?

Inexcusable. And I even told my friend after Davis got out of it ... the Royals were still heavy favorites at 3-3 because of the bullpen matchups and being at home ...

but it should never have taken that

My daughter told me during the break that Cain was going to score (he's her favorite player) and it took quite a bit to keep myself from telling her to shut the hell up.

She was right and awfully happy about it.

Price's ability to adjust in-game and dominate was really ****ing impressive.

okcchief · 10-24-2015, 09:12 AM

I started not posting during games because I felt like it was distracting me from watching and enjoying the game. Now it's a full fledged superstition because they've done better since I stopped

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 09:14 AM

Price kind of showed me why Ace is nothing more than a #2, #3 guy ...

Price has a ridiculous repertoire

Last year's ALCS win was awesome but this one...this one was ****ing historical for Royals fans

This! KC has been programmed to expect the worst. i think that was some of Wade's best pitching- just calm and went about his business.

**DeezNutz** · 10-24-2015, 09:16 AM

And Ventura couldn't quite keep his cool. If he cannot stop being such an emotional pussy, he's going to have a difficult time ever being more than a #3 starter. Too easy to take him out of his game.

Same reason Cueto cannot start on the road in a critical game ever again. Crowd starts chanting and he's done.

okcchief · 10-24-2015, 09:18 AM

I just couldn't believe it when I saw Madson warming up with the meat of the lineup coming up. He hasn't been good against the Blue Jays either. It was absolutely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen. We all saw that shit coming? Why can't Ned? It was Scott Brooksesque. Watching Andy Reid, Ned Yost and Scott Brooks make decisions these past few years has taken a toll on my sanity. Hopefully one wins in spite of it. Brooks is gone, and hopefully Andy will follow.

I only post negative stuff when we're not doing very well for reverse mojo

Big difference between a 28/29 year old and a 23/24 year old.

well as Chiefs fans, I admit, at least for me, I expect the worst

so while Madson has been very good this year .. I expected the worst

the only guy that makes me breath easy is Davis

and Herrera if he's throwing strikes

but yeah, even tk13 couldn't justify Madson there, and he justifies everything

That's why I think you pitch Cueto game 2 so he pitches both games at the K.

ERAs over 4 are now "fantastic"? Wow, you've really lowered your standards for an Ace

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 09:22 AM

I think you go Volquez / Cueto / Ventura

WITHOUT A DOUBT

Cueto needs to pitch 2 & 6. No more road Cueto.
