Royals had to win that game last night because of the pitching match up tonight. SF has to be feeling pretty good this morning. Game 6 ought to be a barn burner.

When royals went up 2-0 on orioles I thought to myself, this a hot team at the right time and a team of destiny.
BUT... I felt that San Fran had an edge. So I went with it.
Last night when KC went up 4-2 I thought to myself, this is just KCs time. I thought that bullpen would lock the game out at 4-2. So I just it's meant to be. And kind of leaned back to my original thought of KC destiny.
Only to wake up this morning and see that crazy score. I dont which way it's going now. Seems like San Fran got the advantage now even of ots 2-2. KC blew a golden opportunity. May not recover.

The score was 4-1 and KC had the bases load and failed to score any more runs. I knew then they had blown their best chance to win and were probably done. Less than a hour later they were toast.

I hated to see them blow it last night. I was looking at the very likely chance of being at the game when they win it. Now they have a huge challenge tonight, and Shields is going to have to snap out of his funk in a big way. I'm afraid this will go 7 now, and it's anyone's series.
I would not count out this team's ability to recover though. They overcame a 7+ game deficit in the division twice (though ultimately lost), came back down by 4 in the wildcard, and responded in a big way after the game one loss.

Most likely.
True. But San Fran knew the road to travel. KC not so much lol
I am still leaning to giants
I don't know I am asking. Hasn't their bullpen been a major strength for them?

It has, but they didn't use their big horses last night. They brought in Duffy who was actually their best starter during the season (2.4 ERA or something close to that), and a couple of other guys who have been solid, but not lights out. Then later they brought in the guys just to eat innings.

Oh wow, thats crazy... They had a chance to go up 3-1 and you change the formula?
Sorta reminds me of Texas Washington coach putting Darren Oliver in the game. Created a landslide that they never recovered from. They lost the World Series. Cards didn't win it.
Larussa was like... I am outta here after that World Series title gift!

Yeah, Vargas started struggling a bit, and then he was pulled for Duffy with a couple of guys on. He was kind of shaky to start, but then I think he started to right himself to finish the inning, but the first Royals batter got on the next inning and they pitch hit for Duffy. I think if he had been able to keep going, things may have been different. Will never know though.

What about that Herrera guy?

He's usually the 7th inning guy. He has come in early a few times in the post season, but no earlier than the 6th. If I recall right, they went down 7-4 in the 5th.

Good that they won while you were there.
Man, these games have all been blowouts except for one.
I can't call it.
Destiny says KC.
Experience says SF.
