Royals my phone died last night while I was in a Ned Yost fit of rage - Page 3

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.

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

Yeah that's it. I'm not used to shit going my way. Since 1985 anyway. I'm Alex Smith vs pressure at this point.

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 09:24 AM

the Blue Jays win with the HR ball

Madson is susceptible to the HR ball

Davis doesn't give up the HR ball

...

the decision was simple.

Stuff like that makes me really mad when I'm sitting at a bar table and when 30 guys are sitting on CP and know the right move ... and the manager making a lot of money doesn't

it's pure stubborness

okcchief · 10-24-2015, 09:27 AM

Price obviously has sucked overall in the playoffs with an ERA over 5, but he was good last night. David Price kept them in the game.

Toronto pen is overrated IMO. I never felt scarred of them in the least.

2 mistakes did contribute to his ERA over 4. And the BJs lost all three of his October starts.

Hootie · 10-24-2015, 09:30 AM

stats don't always tell the story

I'm sure you didn't watch but Price was NASTY last night

The Royals have won every game that Bob Dole went to bed on this year.

So don't leave bed.

I guess I might have if it was way out of the ordinary for Ned or the team wasn't so freakin' amazing to watch, but everyone knows he's going to let give guys every opportunity to get outs and you know the team will never quit. And regardless of what the chicken littles would have said about game 7, there was still one game to be played.

Of course, none of that makes the decision itself any better and I wouldn't describe the last couple innings as anything in the neighborhood of calm, but they've obviously earned the benefit of the doubt far beyond just about any team.

**RealSNR** · 10-24-2015, 09:42 AM

Remember when I said Madson sucks and people lost their shit with me?

(Since we're talking about obscure shit people once said at some point this season?)

Three7s · 10-24-2015, 09:45 AM

I don't think I've ever been as mad about a Ned Yost managerial decision as I was last night. It was even worse than bringing in Ventura in last year's wild card game.

**petegz28** · 10-24-2015, 09:46 AM

JFC, Ventura allowed 1 run. 1! Price allowed 3.....that is all

Evidently Davis was pretty sick yesterday. I'd still have gone to him in the 8th, but Yost gets a bit of a pass, I guess. If anything, he should have left Herrera in. Still...at least Yost didn't go completely brain dead. Just mostly brain dead.

He's not good enough to be a set up man for a World Series team like Yost thinks he is. Potato, potahto, whatever you want to call it.

In this series, unless we have a sizable lead, he should never pitch against top order batters, and Herrera needs to take his spot as the 8th inning guy. That's basically what I've been saying all postseason.

And it's possible that we should even give the 7th inning to Hoch, but I'm not adamant about it.
