not a well played ball game. Exciting as hell though.
That's an absolutely brutal loss for the A's. Lester won't get destroyed by the media for that performance but he should. He had a 7-3 lead and he melted down.
What a thriller. oh, like, it have, like, ya know, the quality...STFU it was a great F'N game. F the A's!!! Tired of hearing about that team and their stupid bullshit. #Choke.
I'll tell you this: The Royals will get to the World Series.
It would take a minor miracle for them to beat the Angels and probably Detroit in a 7 game series (don't trust the O's pitching against Price, Scherzer, Verlander and Porcello in a short series)
let us know what your previous handle was and then go ahead and tell me a game filled with wild pitches, passed balls, dropped pitchouts was a well played game.

It took a "minor miracle" for them to come back from 7-3. The dropped pitch-out was just one of those plays that happens to "teams of destiny." The Royals now also believe (if they didn't already) that they are never out of any game. I'm not saying they will win it all -- although they have a shot -- but they are going to get there.
fault that a great postseason pitcher melted down. If Lester does his job he looks like a genius, he didn't. Hell Lester had to just be OK and they win easily
ignores the play behind the plate that was directly responsible for at least 2 runs from the 8th inning on. It also ignores the dropped pitchout which cost the Athletics the game.
it wouldn't take a minor miracle to do anything. It's a crapshoot
It would take at least a minor miracle for this Royals team to beat the Angels and then Detroit or Baltimore. All three of those teams have massive power advantages offensively and the Royals have never been in the postseason before when those teams (even Baltimore) have some postseason experience
have a huge advantage in the bullpen over those teams imo. I think they have a decent shot to beat anyone. If you give me the field I'll take the field but particularly in the AL I think its wide open. The Tigers bullpen sucks and we all know what Joe Nathan is in the postseason, he pitches with two hands around his throat
one team is so much better in other areas than another I generally go with the team who has the best bullpen in the playoffs. And Angels don't have much if any advantage at SP over the Royals
explanation about his 6th inning moves make zero sense. He said that Herrera was not an option yet he brought him into that game with 1 out in the game. So he was willing to bring him in with 1 out, but not zero outs. What a lucky bastard to win that game after that mind numbing decision.

I'm not saying the Royals can't do it but their odds are very slim against Anaheim due to their offense and especially Detroit with their starting pitching. It is true that they have the best bullpen in the AL but they've got to have a lead to get to it
Detroit dominated KC in the season series (13-6). The Royals and Angels split their season series but that was before Anaheim really got rolling. That being said if KC got Baltimore in the ALCS they'd have a decent chance, although they'd still be the underdog

for now his job is safe....saved his job for now.
For KC to have a chance their starting pitching MUST
keep them in games against far superior offenses so their bullpen comes into play. Otherwise they'll get slaughtered. They can't win like this every night in the playoffs
you da man
Awesome atmosphere in KC!

29 years waiting for playoff baseball in KC, and now they're getting more. What a night.
Not unless they fire Yost tonight.
Exciting doesn't automatically mean well played.

Not at all. A well played game does not include numerous wild pitches, passed balls, and a dropped pitchout.
it is the best isn't it? By a mile.
As far as excitement, I agree with you. I don't like to see sloppy play but it was exciting as hell.
fine with me
