In Big Game James We Trust.

Key to AL Wild Card game: Royals must score 2-3 runs off Jon Lester by the 4th.

Give James Shields the lead and then get through the first six innings. Then use the Royals formula that includes Herrera, Davis and Holland out of the bullpen. Get on base, run on Lester. He doesn’t like to throw to first base.

Steal bases. Bunt early to get the lead. Bunt it back at Lester and he might throw it into right field. He has this thing about throwing to first base. Two great pitchers. Royals need to relax, get the lead and let the bullpen finish the job.

Sounds simple. Hard to do if they can’t reach base against Lester. ‪#‎GoRoyals ‬‪#‎DontStopBelieving‬
