This. Will James Shields go down as a pretty good player who helped turn the culture and gave us all a neat October or will he become a ****ing legend in this city for ever more?

I have no idea why anyone thinks that Aoki should start.

He's a defensive liability, and he has been a liability at the plate.

Unsmooth-Moment · 10-26-2014, 07:06 AM

Wouldn't be surprised if we lose today and win Tuesday.. Game 7 in KC would be insane.

I am puzzled by this as well. Dyson has hits in both games and has played good D. Not to mention, Cain has been stellar in RF. Sure, Aoki hits lefties better but there is no way you can put him in that RF.

Hootie · 10-26-2014, 07:13 AM

In.

Terrible feeling, I have.

But in either way.

****.

One thing I dont understand, what has happened to our running game????Dyson had opportunity to try and steal last night, and never went? Is Yost getting conservative, or are their pitchers and catcher that tough to steal on???

I think it's tk13 that lays it out pretty well in the game 4 thread, but the pitcher did a great job of holding the runner.

I thought, however, that Aoki should have been bunting.

Absolutely, this.

****ing Yost.

Hootie · 10-26-2014, 07:44 AM

No. He should have taken a strike. And Dyson should have been stealing before Aoki got 2 strikes.

That was awful.

CaliforniaChief · 10-26-2014, 07:46 AM

Yeah, the decision on starting Aoki or Dyson is a tough one for me.

On one hand, you're already playing with a dead spot in the lineup at 9, so putting Dyson in at 8 against a LHP essentially gives you two dead spots.

Then again, the Giants put the ball in play, and have hit a ton of tough balls to RF. I have zero confidence in Aoki playing RF.

Add to that Aoki's recent woes at the plate, and I think I lean towards Dyson.

Let me add that if you go to Aoki, I bat him 8th and let Gordon stay 2nd.

CaliforniaChief · 10-26-2014, 07:47 AM

He should have either bunted or Dyson should have stolen. The steal was preferable (Petit gave up 15/18 SB's), but the bunt was the next right play.

There's no way a swing without a steal was a good idea.

Hootie · 10-26-2014, 07:48 AM

AussieChiefsFan · 10-26-2014, 08:22 AM

In for the win. They get this one, its over IMO.

**007** · 10-26-2014, 08:23 AM

In but I sure don't have any positive feeling going into this game. Kind of a Chiefs feeling really.
