Fun homestand, for sure. It was nice to see that the success they had against Minnesota (a team that was clearly done playing baseball for the season after they fell out of contention) continued against a likely playoff team.
David, I'm curious about an offhand comment you made: "Then a single and two walks brought Matheny out to make a change and he called on Amir Garrett to clean up the mess, which is certainly a choice Matheny made."
Do you not like Garrett, or do you not like him in that situation (coming in with men on base)? His ERA is elevated but his underlying numbers seem pretty solid.
Sunday's game reminded me of the Royals-A's game from the movie "Moneyball". Although KC came back but eventually lost. I liked the black the Royals were sporting at the time!
I don't think I've ever followed a game like yesterday. KC facing Luis Castillo being down a TD and scoring 11 runs on playoff contender in the race. JJ is going to sweep out MM and Cal along with his guys. Thinking they will keep Grifol as an organizational guy. Easier not to say anything now with a week left in season than to make inappropriate statement. Can't imagine Sherman would allow MM to stay after his comments in the presser.
