Renfroe looks locked in to me. He needs to play every game. Not chasing.

Orioles ML -154 for today.

I like the Tigers and Padres also and may look at live betting them if they’re trailing.
Worthlessly late post but was able to throw a small piece at Tigers +450 in the 7th. Saw as high as +1000 on the ML 😳 Looking like they take it now.

I'm with you, id rather see Pham in LF over MJ. He's just lost. Already had a funky swing, I wonder where he's at mentally
Hated that they let him bat there with the bases loaded. I feel bad for him but he looks bad.

I would have never believed Baltimore would only score one run in two games. Kudos to Royals pen. They’ve been atrocious all season but came up big when they had to. Im ecstatic. Bring on the evil empire.

Having the O's winning it all in my bracket. Which naturally means they will be out in 2 games against KC
Bumping the above post to give you guys a laugh. And to say I was actually right about something for once. And to serve as a reminder why I generally don't bet outside of office/family polls Laughing

It was great work by JJ to pick up Erceg, and they really managed Bubic to get him back from TJ and peaking right now. Beyond that, I'm never happy someone got hurt but the fact that McArthur is hurt and can't pitch is a blessing. They kept throwing him out there in high leverage all summer and he sucked.

And that review just cost them a run, Yankees now up one. Jazz never got to the bag, not sure how it was upheld.

I’m enjoying the Royals game tonight, despite Bob Costas openly rooting for the Yankees. He wets himself anytime the Yanks hit a medium-length fly ball and cries every time they make an out.

I like Ron Darling, but wish TBS would pair him with someone who isn’t such an ***.

Royals!!

I’m going to be at Game 3.

And yeah - I not one of those guys that gripes about announcers - but geez Costas, ease up on the Yankee love a bit.

I can’t imagine Ron Darling cares for them much, being a former Met

OMG you are spot on. I used to love Costas. But was thinking the same thing listening to him tonight. Sounds like a yankee homer. It’s so annoying, especially not only as a big Royals fan but also hates the Yankees to no end. But this pen in the post season for the Royals continues to amaze me. They were completely garbage all year.

Costas sounded so defeated when Witt turned that double play against Stanton.

That was awful. That double play where he told Stanton it wasn't his fault. WTF dude.

This moron thinks the Royals are getting lucky. The only luck is that the review team made sure the Yankees won game 1.

There's one. Scoring the Royals way. Massey can really help this offense. Pham is good to have a clutch hit or two, and has been great on defense the last few weeks. Salvy will do something sometime in this series, just need pitching to keep doing what they do.
Keep it up

Royals are in a great spot considering they’ve gotten very little out of their strengths. Only 8 total innings from their starters and Witt 0-10 with half of the outs being just awful K’s (Bobby, if it looks like it’s going to bounce, DON’T SWING AT IT!!)

OTOH - the bottom of their order is producing, and Garcia suddenly woke up. The lead off spot is 6-10 in the series - which circles back to the #2 hitter being 0-10.

No matter what happens from here, it’s been a good postseason showing by KC.

Witt is pressing. I’ve never seen him swing at so many bad pitches and strike out like this. I think he’s trying to do too much. I am excited to see how Lugo fares. He’s been their best starter all year. Hoping he can go 7-8 innings.

Hoping for Royals v Padres just to mess with Manfred. Rangers v Diamondbacks hurt his feelings last year.

I feel like he's due for a giant game 3!

A little gamesmanship from machado has the mighty dodgers reeling early in San Diego
The Padres have come so far since I was a season ticket holder from 2008-2011 where they might get 2000 people there for a game outside of the name brand teams. Sucks for me!

My God, Costas is an embarrassment. Judge hits a routine fly ball short of the track, and he makes a puddle.
