[Official] Royals @ Astros

For the 100th time, don’t bring in your best strikeout pitcher in the 9th to face the bottom of the lineup when you have a likely 10th inning with a runner on 2nd and the top of the lineup!!!

It’s a ******* broken record. “Pressly pitches the 9th, therefore Pressly pitches the 9th.”

I’m going to bed. I can’t take Dusty any more.

 

Walk it off and it’s a 5 game lead.

 

disagree. You actually don't play for the 10th inning. You play to end the game asap and in this scenario its the bottom of the 9th. Pressly did his job. Now the bats need to do theirs

 

If this goes extra innings. Astro ain't winning it.

 

I called this exact situation multiple times before this season and was right every time.

You have multiple pitchers who should be able to get through a clean inning against the bottom of the lineup. You have very few who can get through a runner on 2nd, no outs and the top of the lineup. You have to think ahead.

“The bats should do their job” is just a nice - sounding macho slogan - scoring a run per inning would be 9 per game. No team does that.

Dusty can’t think ahead or figure out the probabilities, but you should aspire to be better than that

 

if the bats didn't do their job then that's not on pressly or having him come out when it's giving you a shot to win it in regulation. It doesn't mean you're actually right. if you're playing for extra innings that's loser mentality

 

this is just stupid sloganeering. Even if they score here, and I hope they do, that was a low probability. There is nothing magic about “winning in regulation.” The only magic element is that the 10th is much, much harder - especially where we are in the lineup.

 

not really. what you've posted just reeks of loser

 

I knew I had you ignore for a reason. Just dumb slogans without an ounce of logic or cogent argument. Ok, bye.

 

Damn, Bregs had a pitch to hit

 

ignore. losers are folks who actually announce it. Like it's relevant. who gives a shitt. you're a nobody anyway. nobody cares

 

Time to give up 7 runs.

 

We are all nobodys here.

 

Very peculiar that youtube keeps showing KCs 85 world series but no showing of the 17 world series. Then again theyre not showing the 15 one either.

 

Nice to see graveman...........................earlier would have been nice though

 

Lol the irony here is if Dusty put in Graveman back in the 7th, the game most likely would be already over.

 

Wow Carlos. You’re gone…

 

very nice play

 

Clutch play

 

its been pretty clear for a long time CC and the Stros are no where near in the same ballpark of what each side is aiming for. CC has been straight forward about that from the beginning
