Royals Let's talk about the Angels.

TLO · 10-01-2014, 01:50 PM

Just heard we're starting Vargas for game #1.

I'll confess to not knowing a whole lot about the Angels. Do you like our chances?

God of Thunder · 10-01-2014, 01:53 PM

I don't like our chances with Vargas. But let's hope for the best! Vargas has been very off lately, but maybe the playoffs will jumpstart him. Angels are sending Weaver to the mound.

**petegz28** · 10-01-2014, 01:53 PM

Vargas has fooled absolutely no one as of late. Dude has been shelled like crazy. Granted his last 2 outings were against Detroit but they were not pretty at all. Don't even think he made it 4 innings last time out IIRC.

No. Looking at our line up I find it hard to ever like our chances. Even with good pitching, you still need to score a few runs and overall, our hitting really sucks.

Not even including yesterday's 0-5, our "best" hitter, Alex Gordon, hit .190 over the month of September.

But...they're somehow winning anyway

Hootie · 10-01-2014, 01:57 PM

If we win with Vargas, we win the series

Archie F. Swin · 10-01-2014, 02:01 PM

Angels?

At first I was going to tell you that I didn't think this was accurate at all but after I thought about it... You're absolutely correct. If he brings it and keeps the angels under 4 runs, Royals win.

Ok, let's talk about the Angels.

They are a bunch of weak-minded, fair weather fan driven yuppies. Every time I go to that stadium, I smell nothing but Estee Lauder, wine coolers, and visor sweat.

They say they're Los Angeles, but they're:
1. Geographically not even close.
2. Culturally even further.

They get their inspiration from a monkey.

The Angels have a large helmet outside of their stadium which might barely fit the size of the over-inflated heads of their fans who think they're God's gift to baseball and a lock to win the World Series against the other arrogant fans from L.A.

There's not one Angels fan I know (and I know a LOT of Angels fans) who doesn't think the Angels are going to kick the Royals' asses all over the place. Most of them have expressed to me how glad they are the Royals won so that we could feel good for one day and so that they could destroy us.

On to baseball. The Angels have had a tremendous second half of the season, but they clinched the division a few weeks ago and have been cruising and resting ever since. Furthermore, they have injury concerns on their rotation. After Weaver, you have C.J. Wilson, an injured Matt Shoemaker (coming back from an oblique) and a pile of shit after that.

The bullpen is decent.

The offense is scary good. Trout, Pujols, Cowgill, Hamilton, Aybar, Kendrick, et al are pretty damned good. Although if we could hire Ron Washington as a consultant for the series he might be able to smuggle some powder to Joshie and find an Orange County Whore brimming with crabs to seduce Trout, that could help.

Here's how I see it:

Rotation: Advantage Royals (I would start Guthrie in Game 1, Duffy in 2, Shields in 3 BTW)
Bullpen: Advantage Royals (HDH and Testicles Finnegan)
Manager:

Offense: Angels
Intangibles: Royals. We're in playoff mode and battle tested. Angels have to crank it up again.

Diagnosis? We ready.

Nice...

That offense is some scary shit, man. If we can get back to KC at 1-1 I'll be thrilled.

cmh6476 · 10-01-2014, 03:16 PM

so probably something like this:

Thurs - Vargas
Fri - Duffy
Sun - Shields
Mon - Ventura
Tue - Vargas

CaliforniaChief · 10-01-2014, 03:29 PM

According to Andy McCullough, Yordano Ventura will start Game 2.

I'll be at that one.

Is Yost going with a 5 man rotation in the postseason?
