GDT: Blue Jays @ Royals Game 6 of the ALCS - The Price is Right vs Ace Ventura

[Olerud363]

Totally agree. All this barf in my mouth KC fapping by Reynolds et al is brutal. They are hot as he'll but they didn't invent doubles and gap hitting FFS. If our big guys truly connect it's out in any park. They just need to make some adjustments if they are getting pitched away like they did in game 5.

 

It's so crazy. Donaldson had 40 doubles and (as far as I could see) had a great season hitting opp-field.

 

Let's say you turn 20 of Donaldson's homers to doubles. Then he would hit 60 doubles and 20 homers, and there would be a narrative that Donaldson was the grittiest, dirt-bag, line drive hitting doubles machine ever seen.

 

Reynolds would say "Donaldson almost broke the doubles record, I haven't seen a guy like him... well since Don Mattingly or Paul Molitor... he's totally old school.. 60 double!!!! That's the way the game was meant to be played."

 

Turning 20 of Donaldson's homers into doubles would make him a worse player, but I bet the media would think he's better.

 

And if you took away 50 of his walks, and replaced them with 15 singles (15/50 so it didn't effect his average much), then Harold would think Donaldson is almost good enough to play for the Royals.!!!!

Do yourself a big favour and stop caring what Harold Reynolds thinks. The guy is a certifiable idiot.

Racking up the thanks today, aren't you?

[S33n]

Biggest factor is likely weather conditions, it was really cold last time they played in KC, the ball does not carry as well compared to Roger's centre perfect hitting conditions. They will need to look to use that big outfield for hits like KC does. I don't mean they need to get all singles happy but this is a team that hit a lot of doubles this year, lets see them line some into the gaps like KC was doing at home. they always seemed to have a guy on 2nd.

 

As of right now the weather conditions seems to be nice for tonights game. 19 degrees with no rain, lets go Jays!!!

[G-Snarls]

Go go go Jays

[Governator]

Good freaking lord, is anyone here being productive at work at all right now on a Friday with game 6 ALCS on your mind? Pretty sure I've pissed off a few clients the past few weeks.

Completely and totally unproductive for about 6 weeks. And it's awesome. This has been an amazing ride. Keep it rollin'

[Trouba95]

Go Jays! Just get it to a game 7 and anything can happen

[Zizzzzy]

When the Jays are not playing like absolute s*** to get me in a bad mood, the Murica Bias is actually quite funny to listen too.

 

Reynolds has a huge man crush on Pillar though...

We had a meeting yesterday to review log data on a new Firewall we are testing at our organization and in the report one of the top sites visited during the test period was MLB.TV....

 

Woops....

[RealAccountant]

Line makers have the Jays as favorites

As they should. We are the better team.

Yeah especially with all these afternoon games.

[Governator]

Yeah especially with all these afternoon games.

 

Yea and I left work for two of those (should have been 3). I've gone to both disappointing Game 2 home games so far. I have yet another Game 2 ticket for WS if or when we get there. Trying to see a postseason win live is costing me a lot of money.

[bowld]

Looking for Price to finally come through in the postseason. I think his next contract value depends a lot on how he does today. Needs the monkey off his back and believe he will

[Pulk_Pull]

The radio broadcast is usually a little behind, but given the simulcast issues with FOX, I'm wondering if I can get away with the radio broadcast while watching the game. It really is painful to listen to the FOX guys.

 

Let's go Price! Need to bats to show up today. So far they haven't in KC.

Watched the game with a Dodgers fan Wednesday. Here are a few things I learned:

 

Stroman is going to fall off a cliff within the next few seasons

Price is a very good pitcher but not a true ace

Ned Yost is a good manager

The Royals have a better team for the playoffs than the Jays

[mtljaysfan]

Hope Revere can get on base today. It makes our offense so much more dangerous.

[Markus2222]

Revere needs one of those 3 hit games he's capable of.

[Inklink]

Just fricken win!

[Governator]

Revere needs one of those 3 hit games he's capable of.

 

Definitely, because he's sure as hell not going to walk to get on base.

[Jonn]

Yes it would be nice if our troll slap hitter could cause a s*** storm. Its been really back to back series where it seemed DeSheilds and Escobar were on base and scored before anyone can blink. It's frustrating as f***. Especially Escobar because of how much of an easy out he was all season. f***ing leadoff hitters have been supercharged outside of Revere who has been abysmal.

[THANOS]

Revere needs one of those 3 hit games he's capable of.

 

It's why I really hope AA keeps Pompey over him. When Pompey doesn't get a hit, he still gets on base due to the walk. He had a +.400 OBP, with a 12% BB rate and a 13% K rate, from the time he was sent down to AA to the end of his AAA season.

I bet he hates Andrew Friedman.

I am stepping out to visit clients .... wink wink, nudge nudge, Say no more, Say no more!!!

[Terminator]

Does anyone here recommend a particular type of anti-anxiety medicine? And to follow up, if this all ends without a World Series win does anyone recommend a particular type of anti-depressant?

 

Thanks.
