Why not a Detroit - Kansas City ALCS

[stevenash]

[lakerboy]

KC is okay Steve but they need to get more runs. As a yanks fan I really like our team this year. I think the pitching is much better than in the past. Another thing is that in the past the yanks always lost to Houston or an al east team. They have owned the central for years in the playoffs and guess what?

KC was a .500 team vs everyone but the white Sox. I don't think they win here. Yanks in 4.

[actiondan]

bye teams have really struggled in recent years. i feel better about detroit getting through

[stevenash]

Pitching wins and KC has it, top to bottom.
KC's pitching staff top to bottom is deeper, and did you see how much better that lineup is with Vinny Pas right back in the middle of it?

You know what KCR v. NYY reminds me of?

1990 Bash Brothers v. Nasty Boys.

I can see it... I think dodgers win the Was though

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Talk about a nightmare for everyone except Detroit and KC fans...that said, I'd like to see the Yankees knocked off.


Not that you or any other Tiger or Royal fan would care but that series might get the lowest ratings in history.

I dont see it nasher. Royals offense has dropped off a cliff for the better part of a month. Luckily they were in the AL so when they shit the bed in September so did all the other playoff contenders. Drawing Os was a gift from God as their offense was just as bad. Scratching out 1 run will be them boat raced home so they better figure something out at the plate.

[johnnyvegas13]

We just swept u remember that nash

[stevenash]

[GzaTheGenius]

Yanks win game 1
Royals 2/3

Game 4/5 is where series is decided

[JAKEPEAVY21]

nasher, it would be sweet to see Witt Jr outshine Judge/Soto in this series and send them home

From your lips to God's ears Jaker.

Seth Lugo is the secret sauce.
His curveball this season was the most devasting curveball I've seen since Mike Mussina's overhand yakker of 16 years ago.

KCs got the lineup back that was crushing everything in August, and the rotation is setup like a bowling pin.
It's all I can ask for, and then some.

If I'm Quatraro this is my pregame address "We're playing with house money fellas, go have some fun" and put Massey and Witt Jr. in motion and let Vinny and Sal Perez do their RBI thing.

I love what Quatraro did with the pitching.
He got Wacha throwing strikes again, tore down the bullpen, leveled it, then built it up with depth and a purpose.

Yeah, I'm a homer, but the team that is rolling into the Big Ball Orchard in the South Bronx can beat New York three games out of five.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

Padres made a big mistake not anteing up more for Lugo

KC let that one escape which means they are finished

KC might as well just forfeit the next two games then?

You can take KC +350 series and find out if you get paid.

[lakerboy]

Nash didn't reappear here. Praying for KC to win first. That will not happen.

[darrell74]

Both Ragans and Skubul pitch, Monday.
Capable of winning

There's a reason for that.
I don't have the time or energy to get baited into a flame war with you.
(doesn't change the fact you're still one of my favorite posters)

But you of all people should know better than to call a best of five series after game one.
Carry on LB.

All good but I called it before it started.

With the top two strikeout pitchers, they get the home field

The pitching is better with these two

[johnnyvegas13]

Both have home field now

one or both get thru imo

Won't be surprised if either wins the World Series. Just saying.

[SundanceKid]

Home field obviously doesn't play a factor here. Last year it didn't and this year it doesn't either. So let's pump the brakes on crowning anyone an ALCS berth at this juncture.

Yanks are the best road team in baseball. All season long they were rotten at home. They will be fine although Judge is disappearing again.
Detroit is about the same home and road so nothing changed there. Coinflip series still think Cleveland pitching is better overall but Detroit getting to clase was a big blow and the tribe can't hit.

Ya 50/50 I would still take yanks to win

as far as Detroit goes scubal is game 5 so they just need one in Detroit

[stevenash]

Every Division Series tied at 1? That's a first!

MLB Division Series tied 1-1 for first time

[johnnyvegas13]

[mjsuax13]

They keep winning.
