ALCS game thread- TOR VS KC

[fineyoungarm]

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?

I believe it was the late, great Fred "Curly" Neal, who is still (unfortunately) alive.

Why unfortunate?

 

[fineyoungarm]

Why unfortunate?

For Harold.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Royals lose ALCS over worn out SS glove. Alas, for the lack of a glove the ball was lost ...

 

[Al Zarilla]

So, if Kauffman stadium is sunken, which you could always tell on TV because the freeway, or whatever they call it in Missouri, is higher altitude, why don't they have muddy turf when it rains a lot? I know they had the most famous groundskeeper, George Toma, for years. Candlestick Park was just a few feet lower than SF Bay level, but it had a terrible mud problem when it rained very much at all. Proximity to the bay problem?

 

[scotian1]

39 pitches after four innings, can Price keep up this pitch rate. It is pretty damn good right now.

That highway isn't as close to the stadium as it looks. Most if not all of the roads heading into the Kauffman/Arrowhead complex are on a slight upgrade.
 
And Price looks as though he's rediscovered whatever Cueto found against the Astros

Is that dork with the computer posting on Sosh?

 

[Al Zarilla]

OK, 1 1/2 times through the order, time to do it, KC.

All of them are

 

[Al Zarilla]

Phrase electric stuff makes me laugh. Does it look like?
 

Spoiler

 

 

 

[brandonchristensen]

Jeeze, that catch tho.

Jeeze, that catch tho.

One of the best, most under-compensated players in mlb.

 

[fineyoungarm]

One of the best, most under-compensated players in mlb.

Pablo in the game?

 

[Al Zarilla]

Pablo in the game?

Who's that? Oh, you mean the one who shall remain nickname-less.

 

[mauidano]

If you had that seat behind home plate would you sell your ticket to Marlin Man?

 

[InsideTheParker]

Pablo in the game?

Huh? I said under-compensated, not over-.
 
Crap, Jays gonna win.

 

[fineyoungarm]

You know, except for the 5th and 6th innings, all pitching decisions are basically scripted. Harold said so.

 

[Sprowl]

Donaldson homecoming.
 

 

[fineyoungarm]

Make sure you leave him in through six, Ned.

 

[Sprowl]

Shane woulda had it.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Yesterday HR was going on about how KC had three great defensive outfielders. Then they brought in a defensive replacement for Rios in the ninth. Rios is not there for his glove, I reckon.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Donaldson homecoming.
 

Great painting but today denigrating to Irish wife. 
 
Almost happy for Tulo.

 

[fineyoungarm]

Fastest man in sports at the plate. Harold said so.

 

[mauidano]

Shane woulda had it.

Yep.

That is so 2014.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Ventura's arm will be shred.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Captain obvious now, but why'd Yost leave Ventura in so long?

 

[RIrooter09]

Captain obvious now, but why'd Yost leave Ventura in so long?

 
It's better not to ask why Ned Yost does things.

 

[Sprowl]

Yordan's river is chilly and cold, causing Yost's circulation to slow down.

Or circulation stops at the neck.

 

[scotian1]

So close Harold, it was almost down the middle!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Rios used to be a decent player, but that was when he was alive

 

[Shane]

Is the idea that Price can't pitch in the playoffs dead yet?

 

[Al Zarilla]

So, lust after Price back in full swing?

 

[scotian1]

If

 

[E5 Yaz]

Is the idea that Price can't pitch in the playoffs dead yet?

 
Only if you judge his entire postseason career on this first 6 innings

 

[mikeford]

David Price is on one

 

[Al Zarilla]

Harold got a Cliches to Use book for Christmas. Different dynamic, Take it to Another Level.

 

[Sprowl]

Is the idea that Price can't pitch in the playoffs dead yet?

[Al Zarilla]

If that isn't showing up the ump, what is?

 

[mauidano]

Robots please.

Or if you judged his postseason career on his first 6 starts.

 

[scotian1]

I wonder what song will be featured in the 7th inning in Toronto! I choose "the Maple Leaf Forever"

[soxhop411]

Wow

 

[E5 Yaz]

Or if you judged his postseason career on his first 6 starts.

 
That doesn't even make sense.
 
The time away hasn't done you any good, I see

Scythes put away for the fall/winter?

 

[Redkluzu]

Hi E5 and the rest of you.

 

[Shane]

The idea that he couldn't pitch in the playoffs based on six starts is almost as bad as saying he can based on six innings.
