Relax guys, they just want to clinch in front of their fans. Plus Glass probably ordered them to lose so he can make some more playoff game $$$

I know a lot of people thought highly of this offense, but the one reason I held back on that assessment is because our lineup would look completely outclassed against random pitchers that have no business shutting down an offense that's billed to be among the best in baseball. Looking at you, John Danks.

**petegz28** · 10-21-2015, 04:20 PM

well im out...we're probably getting shut out and somehow will have to win this in 7 cause that's how it goes

Definitely seems to be the trend. To be 'Bumgardenered'

Gotta tip the cap to Estrada...fantastic outing. He's hitting his spots, changing speeds, doing everything right.

And yeah, Volquez got squeezed HARD in the big inning, and Ned waited way too long to hook him.

That's true of every single team though. The Toronto offense got shut down by a guy who throws 86 yesterday.

I still say we win this in 6. I don't see us lying on our asses our first game back to the K.

**alnorth** · 10-21-2015, 04:22 PM

yep, Harold is right, its Duffy for the rest of the game unless we tie it

**Baby Lee** · 10-21-2015, 04:22 PM

Aww, now I'd feel bad if that nerdy bluejay couple went home sad.

That happens to every team.

One of the few things he actually gets right. He's a terrible commentator who usually has nothing to ad.

Deberg_1990 · 10-21-2015, 04:23 PM

Cueto for game 7. That's why we got him!

We better because I don't think anyone here wants this to go to game 7.

Hah, this loss does oddly make the Royals a ton of money.

Its why the players are only permitted to share in the playoff profits for the mandatory games of the series, MLB doesn't want the players to have an incentive to prolong the series.
