Astros vs. Royals ALDS

[nmrch]

With Cecil gone the Jays clearly have a problem matching up against lefties in key spots. Not to mention only one of our 4 SP's is a lefty. The Astros have 2 lefties and a switch hitter in their lineup, the Royals have 3 lefties and 2 switch hitters. The Royals lineup is much more lefty heavy. With the Astros the you pretty much only have to worry about Rasmus and Valbuena. So from that aspect i would prefer the Astros.

On one hand, I'd definitely rather face KC. Keuchel is terrifying in a 7 game series. KC doesn't have an Ace.

 

On the other hand, I would hate to lose to KC. Also I have tickets so having home field would be cool.

 

Well, wasn't that a conundrum.

lol the gorilla suit guy smacking his ass behind home plate

[Spanky99]

I say who gives a f***, yet rather face KC, SP wise.

I was thrown out of the RC for heckling ball players, and another time they took my sweep brush away.

 

Hence, the RC suxxxx

 

The seats I was given for the former was durinf the 92/93 teams celebration, and I received the seats from a former 92 player, lol.

 

f***ing tossed for respectful ball banter.

Astros might be a better match up but putting a beat down on KC would feel outstanding.

Cueto is dealing..... Bad news

A series with KC would be insane and full of hatred. I also think it's a better match up.

Yordano Ventura will get very mad, and then very crushed.

[Governator]

Royals taking over now.

[Grant77]

Go Royals!

 

Those pitchers are good hittin'

[TheHurl]

A battle of the midgets in game 3 would be fun

[Krylian]

Doesn't KC have more dangerous LHB's than the Stros?

 

Considering the condition of our BP (lack of LOOGY's), is this something we should be concerned with?

3 average RHP or 2 good LHP. probably an even matchup any way for the Jays

It's not going to matter if we're up by 6 runs. We've hit Keuchel fairly well in the past, but that Royals rotation is a lot weaker.

Heh, I love JD!

Houston uses platoons more effectively, but overall it's 104 wRC vs. RHP for Houston and 100 wRC for KC for RHP. Not a huge difference.

Or that the Stro's have a clear better SP rotation?

The Texas teams are really s***ing the bed. So much for that all Texas ALCS they said was happening.

Cueto dominating after a rough beginning

I guess Royals fans can stop booing him and asking for their prospects back.

If he or Volquez beans someone, s***'s gonna get really real, really fast.

[candymartinez]

Wanted to face Houston but whatever, Jays can take the Royals. Think it's maybe a 5% difference.

[JaysAllMighty]

Doesn't matter who it is, Jays are going to kick their sorry asses!

5% or 50%?

 

Yost is a moron, but his team is awesome

Figure the Jays have a 55% shot vs KC, 60% vs HOU
