I've argued with Ape before that AL managers have just as hard a job when managing a game, it's just a different game.
I've followed some of the Royals games because they've been on the Tigers' heels all season. He'll bunt at every available opportunity, his bullpen management outside of the 7th inning has been baffling, and he's buried Alex Gordon, one of his best hitters, in the 6th spot all year under guys like Billy freaking Butler who can't hit for anything anymore. Royals fans can't stand him.
Yeah they really don't have a rotation for the postseason. They better spank the ball like they been doin' or they're not going anywhere. Look how they did against the Yankees in the 2012 ALDS. That series was painful to watch.

hopefully the Tigers put it to the o's and the royals come out. Would love a KC detroit alcs
