My only question is how much of this lead Yost allows Madson to give up. I like him, but not against Toronto.

I more or less agree. Although I would've put Tepera in before Hawkins. Hawk really has nothing at this point. Hendriks should be commended for what he did, and it's on the Jays offence for not scoring against Young and Hochevar when they had the chance.

The blame Dickey bandwagon is almost as heavily populated as the Jays bandwagon itself. Despite the fact Dickey pitched incredibly well post all star, one shit start and it's the same chorus of "he's old/sucks" etc...

I'm convinced by now that aside from sketchy starts from Cueto or other starters getting blown out, the only teams that can beat KC are ones from the NL. Royals too strong.

That's what I'm saying. Today's game is not something you can pin on the manager. Your starter got shelled and you got blownout. A couple of tactical decisions weren't going to change the outcome.
No more MadBum, Royals should have this.

Sad to see Dickey get shelled, but it happens. Our "ace" did the same yesterday. The problem is the Blue Jays have too little bullpen depth, and it's hard to put 8 innings on that group. None of this is on your manager.

Yo does anyone know if Salvy has a speech impediment. Since every interview in english he seems like his mouth is full or something. it is not an accent or anything. I have not heard him speak spanish but does he sound like it in spanish as well? just curious

Thank heavens for Bum last year!
Hope it's you guys' turn this year to win it all. Although Mets are cool too.

Jesus Christ Gibbons, your hook is three outs too late. Tepera never should've finished the seventh.
Unless he was literally the only feasible option, I'm not familiar with Toronto's bullpen.

Hi guys! I just got out of class. Did I miss anything?
the depth is especially an issue because Cecil is hurt. he's been nails for several months -- 0.00 ERA since July -- but it's even worse because he's their only good lefty, and the Jays bullpen has several righties who struggle against lefties. Cecil is basically the one guy whom they absolutely couldn't afford to lose.
the others are being saved for tomorrow.

so funny
and then we shut you out 3 games in a row >
Believe me, if you guys come back from this and win three straight, including two at the K, my hat will be off to you.

If Jays can come back in this Series and win it, I will be a devoted Jays fan for life, no more casual fan!
KC is too good and most likely will win the WS, I will bow my head to Jays for making it this far this year!

A bunch of Blue Jays fans leaving their $200 seats early.
Imagine if he did throw in the towel earlier? Would we be excited for Lang?

As a Torontonian I am ashamed of this bullshit: What a bunch of phonies, no support for their team when they are down and under... If Jays were up by 10 now, you bet They'll be swinging their towels, taunting the KC dugout singing to Cueto or something.

Exactly. But I get it - it's easier to blame the manager than it is to accept that the Royals are just far and away the better team right now.

A month ago, this series pays out very differently. KC is getting hot again at the right time.
Something, something contact hitting always beats out power in the postseason.

Sure is tough to get runs when the guy stealing signs doesn't show up. I wasn't watching Sal as intently tonight but I don't think he was running through the signs most of the time. In conclusion, Cueto is dumb.
Tragicomedy
Member
He ran through them all game long, even with nobody on base. I didn't see the Cueto comment, but that's stupid. He got shelled, and shouldn't make excuses. He didn't get the corner calls he likes and left straight stuff up in the middle.

Royals are a team built for a 7 game playoff series.

Agreed, I just wish we had a legit #1 starter. That's the only thing the team needs. Nobody is surprised when one of our big three Dominican guys get crushed, since there's lots of talent and little consistency.

Lmao Shi Davidi is an emotional wreck.
I agree. Yesterday, I was okay with a loss early on, but really didn't want us to get blown out. Was happy we made Toronto sweat in the end. Blowouts probably work a lot better psychologically. On the flips side, I wonder how hard it will be for Toronto to come back from this tomorrow.
And another pitching change...
