Will this team get an allergic reaction if they are a couple games over .500?

Why do we have a leadoff hitter we pinch run for and then that guy gets picked off? I mean.... What the? We pinch run for our "prototypical leadoff hitter" guys.

Aoki is fast but Dyson may be the fastest dude in the league.   May as well use him.   Now, getting picked off and was Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) as hell though...

Pissing away a 5 run lead was really tough to watch.

Lots of Royaly and Yosty things, but Vargas being handed a 5 run lead and then having a terrible outing was the worst.

This is what pisses me off and what will keep Yost being a crappy manager.  you don't owe them crap.  It's the major leagues.  Play to win. He was pitching crappy.  You have to pull him at that point.  Who cares if he has a chance at the win.  He now has the loss though.

Full disclosure: that was just my guess at what he was going to say during post game, he didn't actually say any of that (although that most likely is the way he felt about things).

When you give up a bunch of runs, you don't deserve the win, even if you only need one more inning to be eligible for it. Ned should let somebody from the bullpen go out and earn that W.

Just old baseball people, really. We need to go all in on some young hotshot who will play the best players in the best situations and not give a crap about who gets the W. Ned Yost is a dinosaur and there is no place for him on the Royals or any other team.

Francisco Pena - Tony's son. Resting Salvy

Quote from: KC STAR
With Salvador Perez ailing, the Royals promoted catcher Francisco Pena from Class AAA Omaha. To make room on the roster, they dispatched second baseman Johnny Giavotella back to the minors.

Perez aggravated soreness in his right hand on Monday night. He is not expected to be available for the next few days, team officials say.

Pena, 24, can make his big-league debut for a club to which he possesses longstanding ties. His father is Tony Pena, who managed the Royals from 2002 to 2005. His brother, Tony Jr., played for the team from 2007 to 2009.

Pena was hitting .240 in Omaha with enticing power. His on-base plus slugging percentage was .849. He has homered nine times in his last 23 games.
Once again, Giavotella failed to impress during a big-league stint. He hit .161 during a nine-game cameo. One of his hits was critical, a three-run, go-ahead home run in Seattle. But he provided no other extra-base hits.
Please don't ban me, Mr. Dave.

Also brother of ex-KCR Tony Pena, Jr. Gio back down. Guy must feel like a yo-yo.

Do we have the worst two active catchers on any roster in the majors right now in Hayes and Pena?

He might feel like a yo-yo but he should feel like a turd. He's really not very good at all.

Being a son of TP and brother to TP, Jr isn't something to brag about to Royals fans.
