ALCS Update: Blue Jays Beat Mariners In Game 7 And Advance To The World Series!

[Randle McMurphy]

No but he should've been moved down.

For who? What Clement is doing is an absolute mirage by batted balls stats

That’s the only guy there would even be an argument for

I'll take the mirage that's getting hits and runs over what Kirk has provided in the 4 spot.

So we’re gonna drop Kirk 2 spots because Clement had a fluky week

Ok

[RalphWiggum]

I am not trying to beat up Little but how does John justify using him in game 5 but not tonight? According to John he didn’t make a mistake but it would appear he actually believes he made a mistake.

Unfortunately the crowd would boo him relentlessly to the point even if it made sense it wouldn't make sense. Other than up by 10 runs he was never getting into this series again.

Should’ve gone to Gausman to begin with

[pingpongrac]

Feels like we need at least one run in this inning. Getting multiple runs in any inning seems like a nearly impossible task with how the bats have looked tonight.

He’s on 2 days rest

Here is how you know who made that decision to put Little in.

If Schnedier is fired before next season - it was him
If Schneider is still here next season - it was Atkins

You wanted to bench Vlad off a small sample size too, so why not?

Little isn’t pitching in a high leverage moment until next year. I’m just saying John is full of it.

Let’s look at it this way: if we comeback it’ll be more memorable. No, I’m not happy either, this is me saying the glass if half-full of toxic waste.

We have 3 innings to do that. Our batters are popping out. We dont have it tonight. This is reminiscent of game 1.

Otoh, if we don’t believe in mirages what the hell do we believe in?

Kirk just looks bad with his swings. he's missing everything. usually at least foul off balls to stay alive like in the regular season.

ofc this is invalidated if Kirk comes back in this game and hits a ball out of the park or crucial RBI.

[SharoneWright]

How many million do we owe him for that strikeout?

[Lateral Quicks]

2014 Royals had a strong young core of players in their prime

We have Vlad and?

Varsho and Kirk!!!

Varsho hasn’t been extended

I’ll give you Kirk

Other than that, this group has no sustainability

Clement was a 4.5 bWAR player this year and is under team control until 2029.

Barger, Schneider, and Lukes look like bonafide major leaguers, though perhaps not full-timer players.

Vlad, Kirk, Santander, and Gimenez under long-term control.

Springer and Varsho are the only two they don't have under long-term control, but they should both be back next year.

The offense should be fine next year. Like last off-season, they'll need to address the pitching. Gausman/Yesavage/Berrios obviously isn't enough, but they'll have Bassitt's and Scherzer's money to work with.

o rly?

I’m sure that would have solved everything

then i guess whatever Kirk is swinging at is probably a mirage too

[RalphWiggum]

May as well be down 7 with the way our offense has been today

They just warming up. Big innings coming up, bet on it.

You're delusional or suffering a stroke, neither are good.

[SFour]

hate to say it but vladdy was due for an off game

[WaltFrazier]

Vladdy could have drawn a walk there, the last two pitches

[LoveMyRaps]

Ya Woo is locked in

It's over

He'll take it to the 8th and then hand it off to Munoz

Good season fellas
