why wasn't wade available? Is he on a strict every other night plan?  I thought his pitch count last night was like 7.

Wade pitched the last two nights because Alexander was terrible 2 days ago.

I don't think this team is a world champion without Ned's leadership style, but using Orlando as a late innings defensive replacement and using Soria as your closer in a one run game against a division rival is pretty moronic.

Yup. Gotta conserve your golden arms. Looked harmless to new $ fans at the time, but it set us back tonight. We can't waste him in garbage duty time.

Again, Soria definitely gave up hits, but those stupid plays by Paulo really hurt too. Plus the previous inning play by Omar. I'm not going to throw Soria under the bus for this one. He stunk early, but he made adjustments and was very good in May. He's fine.

I mean, of course I'd rather have Wade, but still.

Hos had an off day on D too. Very random and weird.

[Powercat Posse]

our 6-8 hitters had 8 hits and our #9 guy hit a 2 run HR.  And our starter gave up 1 ER thru 6.0

....and we effing lost. 

4 games in Clev this year...
1) blew a 2nd/3rd No out situation down 5-4 in the 8th....cause cuthbert was clueless on 3rd base and we failed to score any runs
2) and now tonight.

Infante being done is great news, almost worth losing for it to happen.

Yes, did you see the look on Ned's face? Wow

[mocat]

I'm about ready to buy wacky a ring myself at this point

lol

Can't recall Ned looking that mad.  He seemed quite pissed at our Defense in the 8th and 9th.

One of my favorite things is how besides himself PP gets when the royals lose. Like he can't rough riding believe it

I don't like it any game we lose, but when we blow a lead, piss down our leg, do stupid crap a Professional BB player should not be doing..... Yeah I don't handle it well and let my passion blind me....lol

[mocat]

Yeah but how else would they lose? Stuff has to go wrong and it does, a lot.

little things may go wrong and we may lose a game 6-1.  Little things may go wrong and we may win a 5-3 game. 

Games like tonight where there were little and major issues, or us giving up 1 hit all game and lose (Sea game) are types of games that get my blood boiling.

i have to #blessed myself here, but do you honestly think any fan thought it was NBD to see Wade come into a 10-5 blowout?

[420seriouscat69]

I bet it was about 50-50 (new money $ fans) to be honest (some are learning the game quicker vs others). I bet the lib's of the world were pretty pumped about it, but it definitely lost us the game last night.

[420seriouscat69]

I guarantee you there's plenty of new $ fans out there that think Wade (robot lol) can pitch an inning every day. "What's the big rough ridin' deal?!" Is what they'll say. "Never picked up a baseball in their life is what they'll say as well."

kick the crap out of that new $ straw man, wacky

I'm on it. 

[mocat]

i think giving whit the night off and getting infante's defense instead was a bigger factor. Hosmer played like garbage all night (his error led to a run), Orlando's inexplicable dive led to a triple and an easy GW run to score. Soria was ok.

this is a very important question wacky and could dictate how my weekend goes.

if you have played baseball (pretty routinely into your late teens)still play mens softball and have been itt since 2012 are you new $?

Depends. How many royals games did you go to before they got good? Also, not for a social gathering, for viewing pleasure. I might make a litmus test on this thing.

fellas.. its one game out of 162
