The starting pitchers for Game 3 of the ALDS are Dallas Keuchel (20-8 with a 2.48 ERA—he’s going to win the Cy Young) and Fightin’ Eddie Volquez (13-9 with a 3.55 ERA—he’s going to win our hearts) and with that pitching matchup you might think the Royals should just concede, take a day off and go sight-seeing in Houston, but for 4 and 1/3 innings, Eddie holds his own and the Royals are actually ahead 1-0 going into the fifth inning.
While perfectly understanding the importance of sabermetrics, math-challenged me's eyes glaze over fast.
I gave up long ago trying to follow the advanced thinking that goes into managing a bullpen in tight games.
I just don't have the brainpower, plus it interferes with my appreciation of the drama of the situation and my overall love of the romance of baseball.

Can hardly wait to relive Game 4!
