She is a Royals fan. I'm afraid I'll be paying more attention to the TV than her. Heh.... Maybe she will want to get dinner at 5 like we are 87 years old?

Congrats Big Daddy! Your team just finds a way to win. Gutsy ball players. Whatever it takes to win. Just get it done.

Last 5 games, 15 runs scored:

7 by Hits
3 by Error
2 by sac Fly
2 by Ground out
2 by Wild pitch
1 by Walk

Congrats again!

Well since she is a Royals fan, maybe you should start a thread like BigSmoke did for some advise?

Hahahaha.

She said she wants to meet a 6. I will only miss a few innings!

advice?

Still too soon?

I'll vice you pal

Unfortunately Matheny is here to stay no matter what happens.

Randy Choate's numbers against lefties this year:

.093/.205/.147

Against righties:

.385/.458/.481

This is not complicated.

Holy shit.

Holy shit is right. Let the guy with those #'s face two RH bats with a NLCS game on the line when your 2nd best bullpen guy is ready to go. Managerial malpractice on the highest of scales.

Worst move by a manager this postseason.

Tyler Lyons is better against both. He and Freeman can both go an inning or more. Choate shouldn't have been on the roster. Besides, Crawford has a reverse platoon split.

Carlos was the move.

Martinez may have got smoked, he may have struck out the side. Thats just who he is. Under any scenerio it is ****ing managerial dumbassery to leave Choate in against 2 RH batters. Even in a Tuesday night game in May. A NCLS game on the line.........you don't go with your best option? Thats a Mo needs to take him to the woodshed offense.

Maybe he will wear out his welcome next year. Maddon doesn't sign an extension on his contract and walks away from the Rays. We hire him.

Why is Wacha even on this team? Matheny can suck on Ebola for all I care.

Wacha is the long man. I don't have a problem with him not being used yet this postseason, there hasn't really been a spot where I thought he should have come in.
