Tough inning for Vogelsong -- he got three consecutive infield ground balls, and that resulted in only one out.

Even with a three run lead, this game is far from over.  Vargas needs to go six tonight or Yost will blow Herrera's arm out.  We have seen countless examples of how October baseball kills bullpen arms (the Sox in particular with Foulke, Papelbon and even, perhaps Koji).

The Coney Island of my mind
You can fairly put Bochy under the microscope here, although I think the bigger issue is that the Royals have no interest in losing this series.  They're good, they're relentless, and just about everything has gone their way since Big Game's Big Dump in the first inning of game one.

Pretty sure Yost and every player not named Herrera would swap his career for a ring.

Yes, but that was because they rode them like borrowed mules, which may happen this time, too, but everybody will be happen b/c they will have the trophy.

So Reynolds is advocating walking Posey to face the tying run.  And then Vargas immediately grooves one to Posey.  Hahahahaha

No way Vargas gets to where Yost wants him to go in this game

As a side note, Hunter Pence is one of my favorite non-Red Sox players.  
Oh yeah, Charlie Hustle without the gambling problem. Those crazy speeches of his too. The only preacher that used F-bombs.
 
Sad Panda.

That AB was fucking pathetic.  Even with his bare-handers and miraculous hits out of the strike zone, I don't want to see him with the Red Sox.  I might break my television SJH-style.

 But what major league second baseman can't do what Infante did?
None. HR just made some good points about remaining balanced and being mindful if the game situation.

If he goes to second and does not get him, this inning turns into a real nightmare.
