A game 7 in the world series has a sarting matchup between Jeremy Guthrie and Tim Hudson? Nice!
Back to back shutout games in the last two contests between these two teams. Who are you pulling for tonight? I got Kansas City winning on their home field tonight 6-5. Hopefully we see some great baseball tonight

I'm no baseball expert, but bunting one of your hottest hitters for a dude who is 0 for 16 or something against the pitcher makes no sense no?
Didn't work, obviously, but it's higher percentage to bunt the runner and have two shots at a base hit to tie.
At a 2-0 count no way is it higher percentage. Especially when the next guy is 0 for 16 against the pitcher too. The bunt, no matter which way you slice it, made zero sense.

If he has an 8th the way he just had the 7th, I agree with you. The Royals are completely outmatched against him right now and hes not laboring one bit.
The problem is while he's been decent he's never really been a good hitter. He's been a good hitter 2 out of 6 full years and an average one the other 4. Expecting him to now become a consistently good hitter would be a mistake.
Too bad because I really wanted the Royals to win

I'd seriously consider giving Sandoval money for 3B/DH. Yanks need good hitters like him.

I think what is so appealing about what he's done in this series is that he's hitting the other way, and none of our LH batters do that consistently except for maybe Ellsbury.
Left handed hitter would love short RF. Can also go the other way which a lot of our guys can't.
3 more outs
Baumgarner is taking this one home.
Yost got away with his asinine moves in the wild card play in game, he's not going to get away with this one.
I still have no idea why Bumgarner didn't start the game if they had him available for this many innings.

People automatically assume that will magically make a non home run hitter a home run hitter, like Ellsbury last year, how'd that work out?
He has 58 home runs in 4 years. Actually has more at home than on the road.
If they sign him, I'll be very surprised if it's not a really bad signing. He hasn't posted an 800+ OPS since 2011
What do you think about Resnyder and Bird? Do they get a shot at the big club this year?
Yeah son

If I had to guess, Bird will not, Refsnyder yes
