The two strike call on Revere was a travesty. Robotic strike zones need to be installed quickly.

KC is everything the Angels wish they were.

 

The hitters put together good at-bats. Well balanced up and down the lineup.

[Blarg]

give the mvp to trout!

They already voted when the regular season ended.

[bloodbrother]

Strike 2 to Navarro was well up and away out of the zone....forced him to swing at the next pitch was was pretty much identical. Strike 2 to Revere was just horrible

So your saying their GM did a better job assembling a roster?

[JAHV76]

Runner on third with no outs and they can't get him in.

I've see the Angels do that way too often.

Maybe the Blue Jays manager will opt out.

They were' even close according to brooks baseball as well.

Looks even worse from an above angle.

Lol, Perez catching it as it crosses through the right handed batters box

 

Elite pitch framing!!! Angels need more of that from their catchers

[Angel Oracle]

Nice end of game hitting, Mr. So called MVP!

Yeah, I was looking at those and they were egregious for an umpire that was pretty consistent with the starting pitching. It looked like Price got a few free calls as well but they were boarderline not well out of the zone. Ventura got help with one pitch out of the zone.

I didn't have a single complaint about the strike zone until that last half inning, but man.

Gotta feel bad for the Toronto fans.

[seenoevil]

Mets > Royals

 

Let's go let's go!

[ABC]

Well let me spell it out since you have been an idiot all day. Batista can twirl the bat up his ass all night but he will never see the plate if with two outs Donaldson can't get a hit. So he is protecting nothing, Donaldson has to get on base which is actually more pressure on him to do something with a 96 mph heater.

I dont care who went, kc or tor, but i wanted to see a game 7. This is the first october in a bit where im watching but dont care who wins (no fave, no hate). Id have liked to see every series go long just because theres so many fresh faces to cheer for because i dont hate them yet

For some reason, he was calling the up and away to lefties.  Other than that, he called a tight strike zone all night.

 

 

 

[arch stanton]

Revere did himself no favor by dancing the crybaby jig. he knew he'd have to swing at anything close after that.

Over-rated.

 

How well can they "tip their caps" and "turn the page?"

Two years ago they were a joke and Yost was a horrible manager.

[Stradling]

Crazy how a good bullpen makes a manager look good, and yes that includes Scioscia.

Yost looked like a fool with how he handled his pen last night.

Kansas City and the Mets are probably proof positive that a managers don't necessarily make a team, their contribution is overrated.  We need the correct player formula first, in my opinion.  Changing a manager can help at times, but it's not on the critical path to success.

[Guest]

Ned Yost is one of the most mediocre managers out there. He gets too much credit for the Royals' recent successes. 

[Angel Oracle]

The one downside for the Royals going into the WS is Madson's terrible work in the post-season (8.00+ ERA and 2.00+ WHIP).

Hochevar, Herrera, and Davis can't hold down the late innings all by themselves, if it goes to 6 or 7 games.   

 

The Royals though have a chance to really test the defensively mediocre Flores and Murphy up the middle, by putting the ball into play a lot.
