Not that I was watching from a great angle, but you have to think the way he's pitching, the Royals' best chance is to force the play at the plate. Plus, how fucking exciting would it have been to come down to a play at the plate for a 10th inning?

Then again, since I didn't see a good replay, it's very possible that they made the right call. But I'm trying to ignore possible logic and I'm focusing on how awesome it would've been had the series hinged on a play at the plate.
