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!

I would have preferred Freddie plays C and Sal at 1st and Vinnie at DH. Freddie's defense would have nullified some of those base stealers.
23 attempts against Freddie towards 2nd base, thrown out 14 times for a good 61% clip.
28 attempts against Salvy towards 2nd base, thrown out 8 times for a dreadful 29%.
That's a significant difference.
Counter-point would be I think Salvy works some magic with our pitching staff. Going against that Yankee line-up that may mean more than having the better arm. [Reply]

That's a fair point. Still would have liked to see Freddie get a start as he earned it as well throughout the course of the season. [Reply]
