Time to shake off last night! The Royals have been relentless throughout this season, beating expectations time and again. Tonight the boys in blue are going to take Game 4 and send this series back to New York. Fans at the K be LOUD! These opportunities don't happen every year, or even every decade. Enjoy it!

Certainly thinking whoever plays NY has a great shot to take them out. That’s not an exceptionally better team than anybody left. Biggest wallet, sure.
Agreed on both counts. Isbel’s fly ball will be a haunting aspect. The Yankees pitched exceptionally well. No taking that away. But, until Stanton righted himself, it was anybody’s series to take. [Reply]
People started heading to their cars in the 9th before the game was over. We're better than that. Great year, but you can't leave because you want to beat traffic in that situation.

The first half of the season Salvy looked more disciplined at the plate than ever. Second half he seemed to fall apart. The radio talking heads said his bat speed isn’t there which forced him to start his swing early which sounds very possible.
Will be interesting to see what the Royals do with Salvy. Might be time to give him the Lebron game management treatment. Split his time equally between C, 1B, DH with more full off days sprinkled in. [Reply]

Yeah, that sucks. They deserved to have a full stadium for the entire game. That said, the crowd knew what was going to happen. We were just too predictable at the plate. We chased everything out of the zone in the last two games. It was just crazy how bad and undisciplined we were at the plate. And look, the Yankees pitching at the K was outstanding, but we helped them out in both games. It’s why we lost the series…and amazingly, the 27 walks we surrendered somehow weren’t really the story.
