I'm willing to forgive Cueto for two months of mostly subpar pitching if he gets us a win today.

We will lose Game 3 because Keuchel, but I like our chances in Games 4 and 5 if we can get a win today.

didn't we spank keuchel in the regular season. no question mark. not a question.

I'm more worried about the shitty LHP we face today than I am Keuchel, honestly.

I'm not as scared as some are about facing stupid beard. a lot of that has to do with us throwing volquez. I like our odds tonight because kazmir is a loser assuming cueto doesn't bomb.

TownieCat · « **Reply #50332 on:** October 09, 2015, 09:36:45 AM »

Volquez will have to pitch the game of his life on Sunday if we are going to beat Keuchel in Houston.

Emo EMAW · « **Reply #50333 on:** October 09, 2015, 09:37:19 AM »

He won't bomb but I doubt he's much better than 3 runs in 6 innings, and that's probably not good enough.

Not really. He just needs to go out there and do what he usually does.

Keuchel's ERA against the Royals is over 3. Not worried.

Keuchel's ERA against the Royals is over 3. Not worried.

He won't be able to handle the weight of the entire city of Houston on his shoulders on Sunday.

pissclams · « **Reply #50341 on:** October 09, 2015, 09:44:12 AM »

the last time easy ed volquez went to houston in may, he recorded 7 Ks, 0 earned runs on his way to an 11-1 royals win. not concerned.

Is regression to the mean a thing? It's a myth, right?

There are some sweet tickets on Stubhub for cheap....Diamond Club boxes for $267! Sat in those suckers last night, they are worth it.

So apparently 8 times out of 8 the team that has won the first game has won the series. Yeesh it's already over.

The DS has been played for 20 years.

I'm not sure of the constraints, but the announcer quoted this statistic during the game. Maybe it's when the visiting team wins the first game? I dunno. Looks bleak.

You figure Cueto should win today, and we'll lose to Keuchel. I gotta think Houston picks up one of the other two.

I'm sure there is a similar statistic for game 2 winners.

What are you doing to ensure a Royals victory tonight?

I've got my Royals T on as an undershirt, am wearing my Royals hat with World Series 2014 decal on the side, and I'm listening to the Royals Playoffs 2015 Walkup Songs playlist on Spotify. Also leaving work at lunch to go to Toon's Bar & Grill to smash Tank 7's (Chicago Royals HQ)

This is a team effort, we need you

8mp, I've completely disregarded their chances for winning this series. I know to you that must sound negative, but for example I did the same for the wildcard game last year (actually fell asleep on the couch) and you know how that one turned out. It was only when I started believing again (WS game 7) that they fell short. So, pardon my negativity, but it is only in the best interests of the team.
