Great game. Bottom of the 9th. 4-4. HR Gordon. Astros had the Royals on the ropes in Game 4. I was at the game. The Astros bullpen imploded. Yogi is correct. "It ain't over until it is over."
Way to go Royals! Complete game 2 hitter. First time the Royals looked like themselves putting up a string of hits.
Never seen a team swing at so many pitches before. I don't really have a dog in the fight but I guess I'm pulling for the Royals.
Royals are a statistical anomaly. If I remember right, they had both the fewest walks and the fewest strikeouts. They put the ball in play, as has been evidenced by the 1st two games of the WS T
media all over dan murphy for error in 8th. don't think it mattered much at all. he wasn't getting double play on it anyway so run would have scored to tie game. then he eventually made great play to end inning on double play. would have been same result if he made the first play.
The fault IMO lies with Clippard for walking the two batters in the first place. Although, kudos to the KC batters, they had quality at bats to earn those walks...T
or fault with Collins for bringing clippard who is having a bad post season and looks tired. I would have stayed with either colon or reed for another inning.
Way to go Royals! Perez wins a 2016 Camaro! Too many under paid free agents though. Come on David Glass, pull out some of that WalMart cash again.
Knew keeping harvey in would backfire. Manager shouldn't make emotional decision. Only chance familia had was to start inning clean which probably wouldn't have worked either.
Like the game before, one batter too many for the pitcher. But, like the game, Familia was let down by poor fielding. Congrats to KC...T
Harvey was selfish ("I want this one!"). Collins was stupid ("The kid deserved it after what he's been through." Huh?). Result: A couple of losers.
