are you honestly telling me you think not subbing in fast runners was the right move there?

[sys]

i mean, hosmer is debatable.  but morales was just Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

[bones129]

NO, NED, NOT JOBA

NO, NED, NOT JOBA

Ned is conceding. On to tomorrow I guess.

two outs, down one.  slowest man in baseball or the fastest.  ehh, i'd rather have my dh for some overtime inning that we'll never play.

i am honestly telling you, PR'ing for Hos, who could score on any hit, or PR'ing for Morales, who was BEHIND Hos, there is the wrong move

c43, i love you (sometimes), but that's the stupidest thing i've ever heard.

[pissclams]

i think what this team is experiencing is what's known as the "ku effect", that is to say that we are getting every team's best shot, every night out.

there is not a person working in major league baseball who agrees with you

[sys]

you have to sub for morales because you need to score the winning run on one hit.  i'd actually chose orlando instead of gore, but if you are trying to win, you have to pr.

more like not one that would agree with you.

[Cartierfor3]

lol ok sys. have fun trolling

[kso_FAN]

I think we can all agree that no one else working in baseball would have thrown Joba out there in this situation.

[bones129]

They should release Joba right now. During the game.

Also we play in such a crap division that we arent prepared for the playoffs

[wabash909]

It's kind of cool the way we've completely stopped trying.

[kso_FAN]

We'll probably score a run here.

[bones129]

We'll probably score a run here.

Doubtful.

[bones129]

This is getting worse.

[Canary]

So very hard to watch. Not enjoyable at all the past few weeks.  Disappointing and a bit disgusting. Shouldn't let myself think they will do as well as my expectations got for them.

I've shifted my expectations to be only based on what we do in October like the rest of the Royals.

Our guys need to step it up now so they're trending performance-wise going into the playoffs.

I found it interesting tonight that in Royals Postgame the commentators focused on pitching. Cueto had a quality start by definition. His teammates laid on egg on offense, and they said little about that. In fact, the commentators seemed to ignore it.

If we don't start hitting, and regain our Royal swagger, our stay in the post-season will be short.

If we had hit tonight, we would have won. But we haven't hit lately.
