Who would you rather face in ALCS?

[magits]

Doing a player by player comparison we have:

 

KC:

P Johnny Cueto < Dallas Keuchel

P Yordano Ventura = Scott Kazmir

P Edinson Volquez < McHugh

P Chris Young = McCullers

 

1B Carter < Hosmer

2B Altuve = Zobrist

3B Valbuena < Moustakas

SS Correa > Escobar

C Castro < Perez

RF Springer >>> Rios

LF Rasmus << Gordon

CF Gomez = Cain

DH Gattis << Morales

 

Kc Bullpen > Astros

 

Overall appears pretty even. The astros pitchers are much better but they do have 2 lefties while the Royals have none. I think the Astros line up given their propensity to strike out are a perfect match for the Jays Strikeout pitchers. I'd rather face the Astros.

[King]

Stopped reading at Chris Young = Lance McCullers

[Grant77]

The Royals for the entertainment factor. There isn't a team that I find more boring than the Astros.

 

Of course, the Astros have far less talent so there's that. I still voted KC.

[L54]

Royals are the worse team.

[Atothe]

can't believe people are voting Astros

[Grant77]

Royals are the worse team.

 

Keuchel has never done much against us and the rest of the staff is pretty meh. We'd score a lot of runs against the Astros. I also think that Price and Stro would dominate against a feast or famine lineup.

Keuchel is gonna win the Cy young and he dominated the jays his last time against them but no he's not a threat. Genius

Keuchel is probably the best pitcher on the AL side of the bracket and could quite conceivably neutralize the HR threat for two games on his own. The Astros are a better offensive and pitching team. I would much rather hit against the Royals rotation then go up against the Astros.

[Grant77]

All I said was that he hasn't done much against us and that is absolutely true. Four starts, 4 homers, 11 runs, maybe a touch better than average.

KC...because I want to pound those f***ers into a bloody pulp.

[Nafro]

Texas on Wednesday. This is a ridiculous thread.

So if my wife asks me what I want for dinner tomorrow should I punch her in the face cause I haven't had dinner tonight yet?

[BTS]

I think Houston is better.

[Krylian]

I think Houston is better.

 

I think they're more dangerous as well.

Wow, kind of went straight from 0 to psychopath. My suggestion would be to ask her what your having tonight....than tell her what you want tomorrow. But hey by all means I can see the correlation between me pointing out we should worry about the Championship series once we win the Division series; to beating your wife.

We're not playing. We're fans. We can talk about whatever the f*** we want.

 

Ok. I'll ask her what I want tonight...then talk about tomorrow.

 

SO...regarding this series...yes...I want to win the ALDS....now can we AS FANS, talk about who we'd rather play in the ALCS?

[Nafro]

Texas on Wednesday...than whoever wins between KC and Houston. I think we match up a little better against KC, especially with Holland out now. But I like our chances against either.

Could gave been the first reply. Feisty!

[thatoneguy]

I think Houston is better.

 

Agreed, they have more guys that can really mash, a superstar in the rising at SS, and significantly better starting pitching than the Royals.

[fatcowxlive]

KC. Fireworks will go off

[nextyear]

I don't want to think about it because assuming that the Blue Jays will make it to the ALCS will lead to more disappointment if they don't win the ALDS in game 5.

[Jonn]

I DON'T CARE!

 

Win game 5. No f***s are given who wins between Houston and Kansas City. Not one single f***.

[Rajais Mitten]

I DON'T CARE!

 

Win game 5. No f***s are given who wins between Houston and Kansas City. Not one single f***.

 

and thats the way it should be. not us,not the players,gibby,AA,Rogers get to pick who the f*** we play so why care. You know who I would rather play in the ALCS? Whoever makes it because that's all we can do and it means we won game 5.

[Krylian]

I DON'T CARE!

 

Win game 5. No f***s are given who wins between Houston and Kansas City. Not one single f***.

 

Well.....maybe one f***.

[nonamejays]

I couldn't care any f***ing less. Get there, then hammer them.

[o2cui2i]

I DON'T CARE!

 

Win game 5. No f***s are given who wins between Houston and Kansas City. Not one single f***.

 

there are 7 teams hoping Texas wins because NO ONE WANTS TO FACE THE JAYS!!

[soc7]

I did. I'd rather have the extra home game.

[intrigid]

I did. I'd rather have the extra home game.

I'd rather have home games played on the weekend and not during the freaking work day for once.

[Trouba95]

Would rather face the Royals. But who the f*** cares? Let's get past the Rangers first! Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
