pulling for KC, then SF (mainly because of Bumgarner)

Would be a great series

SF is gonna roll KC, IMO.

KC is a great story & all but they've overachieved & have no experience in this situation. They've also gotten literally every bounce their way, luck always runs out somewhere. SF is going for their 3rd WS title in 5 years, that's a dynasty. They have the experience & will be ready to go. SF also has the best player remaining in the playoffs; Bumgarner. Dude has been very good in the regular season over his career but he's lights out in the playoffs. Combine his dominance this postseason with his World Series performances in '10 & '12, I don't see KC beating him. That means the have to win 4 of the other 5.

If KC knocks off SF it'd be like the Dbacks upsetting NYY. Underdog knocking off the dynasty & huge favorite. Could it happen, yeah. But I wouldn't hold my breath.

Not to mention Yost vs Bochy. Arguably the worst manager vs the best manager in baseball.

I disagree. Everybody was saying the Angels was going to roll us because they were the best team in the AL. Didn't work out that way. Then it was Baltimore that was going to roll us because of their power on their line-up. No dice.

 

Anyone can use the argument that they have no experience in the situation, but really, it didn't show at all during the ALDS and the ALCS. It might had actually accelerated the Royals experience when they were playing against Oakland, and, I have no idea how to explain it, but something clicked when they went on a improbable comeback against Oakland.

 

Sight unseen (I have not looked up their team stats yet), if someone wants to tell me that the Giants have the edge in starting pitching and offense, I'd probably agree that its likely.

But, you have got to give the bullpen, speed, and the defense to the Royals before the analysis even begins. That was very much evident during the ALDS and the ALCS.

 

Not to mention, KC went 15-5 against the NL during the interleague play.

 

Either way, let the best team win.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
