I hate this one game wild card... ('14 playoff thread)

Yep. But I am fascinated by it, because it can just as easily bite you in the ass.

 

Oh, and how the hell has the Royals catcher caught 158 games this year? I would be in traction.

 

The thought of Matheny managing this sends chills up my spine.

 

Agree.

 

I love how the Royals play. So aggressive on base paths.

 

Spoken like a non-Cubs fan. I would let TennyD manage the Cubs in game seven of the World Series just to see it happen.

 

i think he sits in the dugout catatonic because he can't figure out how to double switch with no pitcher's spot

 

Matheny would either be out of pitchers by the 6th or keep his starter in for 6 and down 17-0 to meet his formula.

 

He'd nuke the dh to do it.

 

What. A. Play.

 

I hate broken bat hits. Hate them.

 

Steve Perry is NOT awesome. Just throwing that out there.

 

I said no more Journey psych outs.

 

Madison Bumgarner, holy shit.

 

Hell I was just joking. What a team.

 

Other than bumgarner they don't wow you but they don't make mistakes and bloop and broken bat hit you to death and damned if they don't just keep winning

 

Anyone who hasn't seen chevy guy yet, enjoy:

Damn. I think they could have picked a random fan from the stands and gotten a better presentation.

 

They're fundamentally sound. They put balls in play and don't strikeout.

Those two things alone win games at even the highest level of baseball.
