Good question. I think they should just start him Tuesday AND Wednesday.

I agree it has been a hell of a ride, but I'm not really in the mood to think about that right now.

Winning Tuesday is the only thing on my mind.

Might be a little different on 2 days rest. Again I don't expect this at all.

Hopefully the Royals watch the 8th inning of the wildcard game on the plane home and remember what ****ing got them this far.

Ya sadly Shields gave up two runs but one run is all they needed with that "thing" pitching for the Giants. Our bull pen didn't do us any favors bottom of the 8th we still needed to run scores to win. 0 points wont win any game. So I appreciate James Shields for the season he has got us to this point anyways.

Nothing, other than the fact that he would suck.

It's amazing to me how many posters can't grasp the concept that a starting pitcher can't just pitch every day. Throwing a baseball 117 times breaks your arm down, and it takes 4 days of rest for the guy to be back at full strength.

It could backfire on them too....never know what happens when you run a starter out there, whether for 9 innings or 2 innings.

For reference, if you are old enough, please see the Royals inserting Dennis Leonard, who had been unhittable in earlier games, to finish out a game as a reliever.

We lost....

We look the the Orioles did -- too many batters trying to do too much with each swing. The Giants have a brilliant hitting approach comparatively. And yeah, the BABIP gods are anointing & blessing the Giants these past two games. But that can change.

When the backs were against the wall against the A's we saw total confidence from the Royals. When the games were tight & going into extras against the Angels, or early against Baltimore, we saw total confidence. We saw crisp defense. We saw patient at-bats & smart approaches at the place. It's on Yost to get his clubhouse into that right frame of mind for games 6 & 7. These Royals have responded so well to trouble before & they need to once again.

Nope. He's pitching Tuesday AND Wednesday.

Like a boss.

If there was any chance of him going Wednesday why would they bother pitching him the 9th up 5-0?

Cmon man!

This is the part that has me concerned....

I think they were just showing off? :shrug:

The bright side is we play two very average pitchers in games 6 and 7. Bats have to wake up though.

I want to see some speed in game 6. Been a while since we swiped a bag.
