2015 Postseason Thread and Predictions

Indians are going to be better than Detroit next season

 

[Simon]

The Royals man. I am actually rooting for them a little bit.

I'm hoping for KC to be eliminated as I don't want them to have extra revenue to re-sign Shields.

Them advancing would allow that? I doubt that.

 

[AZ_]

Yeah, playoff revenues will have very little effect.

Maybe revenue is the wrong word to use. Would a World Series appearance put more pressure on KC to re-sign him though? Absolutely.

I would go a long ways towards getting KC fans to show back up again, that is for sure. I think they have already guaranteed a ticket bounce for next year as it is. Kansas City was a good baseball town before the team went into the tank, so I guess we see.

 

[Walter White]

If anything, it will make KC more willing to spend more knowing that it actually produced results and was worth it. Even if they lose Shields though, I'm sure they could find a decent replacement and still be fine.

The only thing it will depend on is whether Shields gets offered more by a larger market team.

Nobody needs to see the end of season results to know re-signing him will be a higher priority.

This is, unfortunately, what it comes down to. Someone will get stupid with him, Scherzer and Lester. I think KC could afford though to find a next tier guy, although I have no idea who the 'next tier' guys are.

Honestly, Masterson is probably a good pickup for Kansas City just as much if not more than Cleveland.

Spending half of what they would on Shields in hopes of a bounce back year under Dave Eiland could be a great move for them.

 

[Chris]

Royals gonna go to the WS. Unfuckingbelievable...

 

[AZ_]

Got to say, I'm fully on their bandwagon.

I think they get smoked by San Francisco, though.

LOL not with Ned Yost on their side, sorry.

No, really, with the way the Royals are pitching and playing defense- I think they ahve more than a chance, and I can't see them getting run out of there. They have the experience, but then KC has also been winning dragged-out games in this posteason, too. I think it is a pretty good matchup.

St. Louis may have something to say about this.
