Royals vs. Dodgers 3 game series official thread
TraceOneInfinite:
Royals win game one by knocking x-Royal Grienke around like he hasn't been knocked all year... 8) Mostly dinking and dunking mixed with some power from Salvador Perez, while our #5 Starter Guthrie shuts down the Dodgers offense!
Halu Sination:
Dodgers made a great late game comeback but looked weak as fuck otherwise. And Greinke laid a fat one.
I expect a Kershaw win, and then another disappointing loss with Dan Haren. Haren gets inexplicably overrated by internet fans so badly and I have no idea why, though I'm guessing it might be because he was underrated at one point. But that was a lifetime ago... he's been mediocre as fuck for three years.
This means I'm guessing you guys get the series 2-1. If my predictions turn out to be correct, then congrats lol

Yeah it's great to see Guthrie pitching the way he has. He finished off our winning streak in his last start. Then we lost 4 straight after him and then now he started the winning again. Before it was our #1 Shields holdin down the staff and now when he slips up, there is Guthrie bringing up the back end of the rotation. I really think the Royals rotation can fucc with the Dodgers rotation.
...as for the rest of the series. I'll get a look at your boy Kershaw. Maybe we can dink and dunk a run in but I doubt it. Anyway, I thought we would get swept. So everything else is gravy after tonight 8)

Royals have a solid rotation from 1-5, but their biggest problem is their Top 3 pitchers Shields, Vargas, and Yordano/Duffy (whoever they pick to be their #3 come play-offs) aren't really deadly enough to scare teams in the play-offs. That's usually what separates teams that slip into the play-offs and the true contenders that actually win championships.
That said, Dodgers' rotation was top-notch and we still lost in NLCS, so I suppose I shouldn't be one to talk. That's why it annoys me that we put so much stock into pitching and haven't made a single move with our position players. All it took was a pitcher like Kershaw having an off day and our offense did absolutely nothing to assist him. God, fucking Dodgers.
Halu Sination:
Kershaw shuts out the Royals as expected. Next, Dan Haren will continue to disappoint us.
