ALCS: Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays - Part 2

[JS19]

Reckless of Pillar to go for a triple.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Close at 3rd.

Think he's out.

7-1 either way.

 

[robert terwilliger]

there's the stupidest rule in the history of the world again.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Uh, almost looked safe there.

 

[GKJ]

Why was Pillar even going for a triple?

 

[robert terwilliger]

he would have been safe if they didn't allow the fielder to hold his glove on the runner while he tried to adjust his body from running full tilt to stopping on a dime.

Looked like Moose even got hurt in the process, as a result of the hard slide. Props to him for knowing to keep that tag glued on, anyways, since that rule is still in effect.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Osuna shuts it down.

I'd be nervous as a KC fan.

Is David Price really going to not win another post-season start?

And then it's possibly a Game 7 featuring Cueto...gulp.

And it starts:

 

[JS19]

Quick inning for Osuna. And now a game 6.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Osuna brings his A-game and makes short work of the Royals!

Jays stay alive!

 

[GKJ]

Tom Verducci sounds like they took him straight out of a video game

 

[robert terwilliger]

up 3-2 going home with the real ace of the staff going in game 6 and davis on full rest? i can't see them being worried.

even if cueto cueto's in game 7 i think the royals pen is deeper and better equipped to deal with it.

edited to add that i know that herrera got hit today but that backend of the bullpen is no joke. davis hasn't pitched in two games and would likely be available for at least six outs if needed.

Price vs. Ventura & Stroman vs. Cueto. Good baseball for the next two games (if needed) at least!

 

[Swervin81]

We needed that Rembrandt from Marco today. Huge outing. Huge.

 

[td_ice]

Haha....this post game show on Fox is pretty funny.

Pete trolling on the Jays a little.

Sure but the Jays have the obvious pitching advantage in both games I'd say.

Ventura didnt look that good against the Jays and got lucky his scoreline wasnt much worse.

 

[DougieSmash]

Not sure in which world Stroman is advantage over Cueto but okay.

 

[S A W F T*]

Woot! Go Jays!

 

[Virtanen18]

All those clowns who thought Price would pitch.

The clown who laughed at the "clowns" who thought Price would pitch

Gibby said in his post-game that Price was close to coming into the game.

 

[Eyedea]

How close was it to happening?

 

[robert terwilliger]

probably as close as that 3-2 on bautista.

Gibbons is the worst. With Estrada dealing and with a very manageable pitch count Price never should have even been considered. Price should only have been considered as a move of desperation if Estrada looked shaky in the first 5.

 

[Virtanen18]

He gave it serious thought after ACEstrada walked Cain on 4 pitches and Hosmer was coming up.

Gibby gonna Gib. With how depleted and shallow the bullpen is, I get Price being in there, but he definitely shouldn't have even got up today IMO.

 

[Virtanen18]

Double play off Zobrist in the 4th was big. After Escobar got on I thought they were gonna bring him home for sure.

Gibbons is an idiot, there was no way Estrada would give momentum to the Royals. He was on fire all night long.
