Why are we automatically forfeiting game 3?

The Royals had a similar matchup disadvantage before last night but still managed to win.

James Shields >>>> Jered Weaver

 

Jason Vargas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> CJ Wilson

 

The matchup disadvantage isn't even close. In fact, Vargas even had a better regular season FIP than Weaver.

Two of those were vs a weak hitting M's team.

The Royals can put the ball into play very well.

 

They're also aggressive, free swingers who don't walk much. That could bode well for CJ.

James Shields isn't the top tier pitcher that people are making him out to be.

James Shields isn't the top tier pitcher that people are making him out to be.

No, he's not. But he's about 470000000 times better than CJ.

The 2009 team was way more exciting than this team. They swept Boston in the first round by beating Lester, Beckett and Papelbon before running into the buzz saw Yankees. I just can't believe how deer in headlights we looked last night. Geez guys get it together!

I am confident that CJ will pitch a good game. The Royals lineup is a lot like the Mariners lineup who only lost 2 more games than KC. They don't walk and they put the ball in play without a lot of power. CJ dominated Seattle. He can dominate KC.

 

I am tired of all the CJ bashing. 

 

Can't we focus on more important things? like bashing the middle of our lineup.
