Ned is just trying to make the point that Ian's failure wasn't due to lack of effort of desire. Its a fair point to make in the era of "he quit out there" being the reaction of fans in pro sports often.

Relax guys, its Saturday.

This is my favorite lineup except no Salvy. I have a good feeling about tonight. I'm predicting 3 homeruns. One for Moose and Moss. And a mystery 3rd guy. 3 run win. Gordon gets on base at a .400 clip.

Vargy will give up 4.

Vargy appears to have his good "stuff" tonight.

He will only give up one more run. It's time to get those bats going.

JFC Vargas. 1-2 pitch  and u let a .175 hitter get 2 RBI single with 2 outs.  He got the ball up and middle of the plate.. .WHY!! Keep the ball out of strike zone. Perferably down and low like u usually do.

Costly 2 run stupidity pitch.

Well. U may change your tone. 80 pitches and 3 runs thru 4 innings.  Had chance to just be 1 run, but his dumb pitcher to a sucky hitter for 2 RBI

What Vargas does doesn't matter if the KC bats remain soft.

I really thought he would sneak out of that jam after fanning that guy for the second out.   Struck out like 8 thru 4.   Bones129 bats are back tho :frown:

Starters ERA is now 5.99 in August
Bullpen ERA was 6.56 I think coming into today in August.

At some point you gotta pitch

True. But scoring 1 run in 18 innings doesn't cut it, either.

Very true.

But at this point we are playing for a WC bid.
2 games doesn't define us.

This team has scored 5.24 runs last 62 gms.
This team has scored 5.00 last 92 gms
2015 team got 4.47 per game

The pitching has been a bummer.
Our team ERA was 3.85 when we went 28-13 (going from 26-34 to 54-47).    Since then it's been bad. And we have only been 7-14 because of it

The time is rapidly approaching (if it hasn't arrived already) for Ned to make a change. Defensively, Alex is the best choice in LF, but he is a dead spot in the lineup and has been for a long time. Melky can play left and Boni can play right; Melky's plate production speaks for itself and Boni has been far, far better at the plate than Alex. Ned said several days ago that Alex gives the Royals the best chance to win, but it does not appear that's any longer the case.

What say, Ned?

Botching the Lindor foul pop up and then promptly giving up the home run is Royals' baseball the last month.

Cuthbert has to take charge, call off Cam and catch that. 2 run mistake when we are desperate for a win.  Moose probably does not get to that ball with his lack of speed.

Gonna really suck if we lose this one.
4 hits, 1 of them a HR in the 4th, and we got 1 run because of a DP ball.  That's twice today we have had a hit, then DP, then a hit.

No need to re sign moose, our third baseman is on the field.

Odd, not having the <.200 hitter out there seems to be helping the offense.

Good win.

Now we need to go on a run. Hopefully the August pitching (pics don't include today) can get much better over the next couple weeks.
