What playoff/WS game did we win with small ball? We won the LDS with the long ball. |

I'm against 5-game series. I'd rather not have the WC games, and all 7-game series. If you lose game one, it makes it so difficult. Now you have to win 3 of 4.
I would imagine, we were at 57% to win the series before it started, now we are probably at 22%. Just because of one game.

I still think the Astros are making a mistake in starting Kazmir. I know he has done well against us in the past but I don't think he is Danks.
I am wondering if part of their decision is based on the fact that they traded for him and feel like he has to get a start. I am glad they are doing it though because I think we will get him out of there quickly and up big. |

I posted this is another thread and we did not do a good job of keeping him off base so it is not too surprising we lost. He is their main consistent on base and base hit person and though they didn't have huge innings, he led off the 2 run inning, had another RBI, and was on base again and divided Young's attention. He ended up getting thrown out but it probably didn't help Young's focus on the batter who hit a HR one or two pitches later.

I don't like the 2 WC teams... it's a problem. The WC that wins has such momentum moving forward. It helped us last year.
But when the WC was the #4 seed... they didn't win much. The WildCard winner has won 50% of the world series since 2011, I read. |

We did no such thing last night. Morales got his two solo homers, and the rest of the night it was Escobar, Cain, Hosmer, Moose, and Perez all swinging at shit like it was a burglar trying to rape their daughters. |

But aren't the Astros, "The idiot team that tries to swing for the fence every pitch?" Yes - much easier for the Stros to play .500 than for the Royals to play .750

The games were won on defense, dominant pitching and the HR. |

I'll tell you something - I used to work for the Astros up until May of this season, and there is a great deal of respect, among management and players, for the Royals and what they accomplished last season. In fact, the Royals were referenced in tons of meetings, followed with (Direct quote)," We can be the Royals this season." Make no mistake, this IS the matchup the Astros wanted and it was not out of bravado - it is /was out of respect. To be the best, you need to beat the best. The Royals are that, and like I said, deserve the benefit of every doubt.
