(New NEW) 2014 Royals Repository

[SPchief]

Let's get back sole possession tonight.

Yep. I still like the idea of the 3 man rotation. Ventura pitched like 3 times last week and was just fine, as a rookie, despite the unfamiliar role he had in the WC game.

Shields
Ventura
Guthrie/or Duffy
Shields

Go from there. We get out of that 3-1 or 2-2 we can pitch anyone game 5 and I won't mind.

I want Shields for 1, 4, 7 and Ventura, at worst, for 2 and 6

The very definition of a troll.

Most of his conservative positions are not the unpopular side in DC.

[Hootie]

I like the idea of Shields, Ventura 1, 2 and 6, 7 ... meaning Shields has to pitch game 4.

I think, without a doubt, unless we're 3-0...We have to go 1, 4 and 7 with Shields. That's why he's here.

[Hootie]

Shields
Ventura
Guthrie
Shields
Duffy
Ventura
Shields

Unless, after game 4, we're facing an elimination game...then Ventura game 5, Duffy with a short leash and full bullpen arsenal game 6, Shields

A similar term used by Nielsen Media Research is the Designated Market Area (DMA), and they control the trademark on it. DMAs are used by Nielsen Media Research to identify TV stations that best reach an area and attract the most viewers. There are 210 Nielsen DMAs in the United States, 56 of which are metered (in other words, viewership in these markets are estimated automatically instead of through the archaic diary system still in use in the smaller markets).[3] There are also 210 TMAs regulated by the FCC within the United States.[citation needed]

And I will take $30K a year plus travel cost and food stipends to sit next to Ned and tell him who to pitch and when, for the record

I'm not crazy about the idea of switching guys to three days rest unless it's a desperation spot (down 0-3).

Only Shields. 1, 4, 7. It makes too much sense not to. He's BIG GAME, he can handle it.

[Hootie]

Shields 1, 4, 7 with Ventura 2, 6 gives us our best chances IMHO

Big Game James does not mean Every Game James.

Tons of teams set their rotations with their ace going 1, 4, 7 in the playoffs

When you get the gig can you hook me up with something similar for Andy Reid and timeouts?

I would chip in on this, honestly. And I dont consider you an all knowledgeable baseball wizard. Just above avg, and enough to be helpful

Im pretty sure I hate every Cubs fan Ive ever met..and I grew up in Iowa.

Not the most intelligent fan base, definitely a team I root for. Theo is doing big things over there, though
