Its crazy but you are right. As I said the other day, lots of people here thought the Royals got fleeced for Myers with Shields and Davis. Turns out they won that trade so large with Davis being virtually untouchable these days.nvalvo said:

I can see why his offense continues to fall off a cliff after catching that many games. Maybe a day off here and there would be in order.
Waiting for the 3 run homerun every time will not work against this KC pitching staff. Jays have to kind of reinvent themselves offensively real quick or this is over in 5.

I guess I am not alone in thinking that he used Price in relief in Game 4 in part because he had more faith in Stroman taking the ball in Game 5 than his "ace".
For the Jays' sake, I hope he responds as well as Kershaw did last week to the calls that he can't perform in the playoffs or else this will be a short series.

As you know, Gibbons said flat out that he used Price in that spot because "he wasn't going to pitch Game 5." Now, Price could have a great game Saturday, but if he doesn't, circumstantial evidence starts to build
"We know they got a lot of pull hitters over there, and power hitters, and he told me, `How you feel pitching down and away?' And I said, `I feel sexy tonight,'" Volquez recalled. "And he was like, `All right, we're changing the plan right now. We're pitching those guys away.'"
I suppose the other way to pitch to Donaldson, Bautista, etc., is up and in, but down and away seems safer. Both Volquez and Perez used the "both sides of the plate" du jour statement after the game, I think though. Not sure if I heard the other one which is "he used all of his pitches". Baseball and its cliches.

Joe Magrane on mlbn didn't seem to think it was just baseball cliches, and spent a good deal of time demonstrating last night's approach as a change for Volquez.Al Zarilla said:
I know but managers, pitchers and commentators all use those two cliches the last few years (both sides of the plate, use all your pitches) as if pitchers haven't been doing them forever.InsideTheParker said:
Clark's cousin looks equally, if not more, nightmarish an perverted as his cousin across the Great Lakes.Sprowl said:
The moose seems okay with that, though. So who am I to judge?
No. Harold said something like Meadowlark Lemon is no longer with us and instead he is alive. Can Meadow's family sue him or do a citizen's arrest and get him put away for 10 years?fineyoungarm said:
You were saying?Al Zarilla said:
Now, if V. can just hold it at one, which Revere's attempts to bunt have helped him with, KC will be "just fine."
