Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Royals win, that says teams win World Series, not a couple hot individual players like SF has.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Royals win tonight, the Royals should be the MVP.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If the Giants win it's definitely Bumgarner. Some of their position players are also arguably worthy but Bumgarner's domination in games 1 and 5 (and maybe 7?) will overshadow all of that. If the Royals win, pending any individual heroics tonight, it's probably going to be Ventura, who will be remembered for pitching through his grief to pull this team back from the brink of elimination. If it goes to a position player, probably Cain, because he's hitting well, playing excellent defense, and, most importantly for an award like this, getting a lot of attention for it. Agree that Perez has a shot here too, he's actually hitting even better than Cain (much better), but people aren't talking about him as much. Infante actually has great numbers too but literally nobody ever talks about him so I can't imagine the committee will even notice unless he hits a walkoff home run or something.
Because they're not players?Why not Glass, Moore and Yost.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Unless Bumgarner pitches multiple innings tonight and shuts the Royals down, I think a strong night from Hunter Pence wins MVP for him. 6 runs (most in the WS), 5 RBIs (most in the WS), 10 hits (most in the WS), most total bases, a homer, and solid D? His OPS is over 1.000 (1.196). I get the Bumgarner case, but Pence's numbers are unreal and he plays every game.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nobody in this World Series has gotten nearly as much buzz as Bumgarner though and that's what I think will win it for him. In the end a bunch of reporters and baseball guys are going to just vote on who they think it should be and they're probably going to vote for the guy they all keep talking about.

Just having some fun.Because they're not players?
Doubt a pitcher on a losing team would get it. As provided earlier a position player has gotten it in the past. With regards to the Royals guess it will depend on the heroics this game. If a pitcher it would be Ventura, position player Cain, especially for the defense.

Out of the inning down one. Guthrie could have done that. And kept pitching. I know it's game 7 but why does Yost feel the need to play an NL game? I look forward to eating all these words.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aoki had no business facing bumgarner twice he was 0 for 17. Also did gordon have a chance score?

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dyson would have likely hit in Aoki's place and Dyson hasn't done anything either. Highly doubt anyone would have.
I do believe in my heart of hearts that Gordon would have scored. And if not, would anyone be that upset with him being called out at home plate? I wouldn't have blamed him given the circumstances.
That has to be how close a team can get to winning the World Series without winning the World Series.

Re: GO ROYALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yost says before the game that his pitchers will be on a short leash, then Guthrie looks like shit in two consecutive innings but is still allowed to pitch the fourth even though there is literally not another game to save our bullpen for. And that's how it goes. See you all in thirty more years.

Think he would have been out by a mile as they say. Even Gordon says it was a good call to hold him.Also did gordon have a chance score?
Let's see. Batter barely hit by pitch, two cheap hits and two sacrifice flies for two runs in the second isn't that bad. Winning run the result of an infield hit, due to foot siding out from Infante resulting in a bad throw to first, soft hit, sacrifice fly to left to get the runner to third, given up by Guthrie, isn't that bad of an inning. Overall not that bad, not great but not that bad.Guthrie looks like shit in two consecutive innings but is still allowed to pitch the fourth
What hurt the Royals way more was the first double play with the stop by the second baseman and a glove throw to 2nd and then the reversed call.

A young Royals team loses Game 7 of a World Series by 1 run to a team that has won 3 of the last 5 titles with a payroll bigger than the Royals and one pitcher that was possibly the best starter in postseason history.
THE SEASON WAS A FAILURE!

Also, if that's the rhetorical tack you're going to use to massage your pathological Kan't City masochism muscle, what you'd really need to write is:AllThingsKC wrote:pash wrote:Well, there's always 2043.You're kidding me, right?phuqueue wrote: See you all in thirty more years.
"Well there's always 2019"
and

I didn't say the season was a failure, but I did predict that we won't be in the World Series again, which is not really going that far out on a limb.AllThingsKC wrote:You're kidding me, right?phuqueue wrote: See you all in thirty more years.

Man, what would have happened if we would have won, this was their 3rd in 5 years. Our city might have burned to the ground if we would have won, maybe it was a good thing we lost.
