MLB: ***OFFICIAL 2014 MLB Postseason Thread***

Shields has settled down amd pitched nicely since the first. And while Lester is down 3-2, he's still not doing too badly. 62 pitches almost through 5.
Yeah...was really surprised he was pulled. And then Ventura gives you that? Bad move in my opinion.
The Royals have been Yosted. Pull Shields when he hasn't even hit 90 pitches. The first guy you use out of the bullpen is a young starter who has walk issues at times and isn't exactly used to coming into a game in the middle of an inning with inherited runners on. You don't even use a lefty against the lefty bats coming up (Finnegan?). Yep, Yosted.
The more I look into that move and learn about Ventura, the more I am baffled by yost's decision. If that is normal, I can see why the Brewers wanted him gone.

I love Ventura. He's probably the guy I'd want to throw a Game 2 in a playoff series for
the Royals. But he's absolutely not a guy I'd put in a game in that situation.
I cant wait to hear Ned's reasoning for that move.
I bet he'll say something about Shields' propensity to give up the longball, which he is known to do.
