Posse, it was not an easy play. Soria was fine that inning.

Easy play, no.
Hard play, no
Play a MLB pitcher should make most of the time, Hell yes. At least get enough of a glove on it to knock it down ( not glance and roll 70 feet). Tyrannosaurus Rex is the runner

He also walked the 1st batter he faced. If he battles from that and gets 2 outs, then he pitched a fine inning. He didn't. We gave up 3 runs with a lead late. This is 2016 Royals Road BB. I better just accept it

if we don't want to finger croworia, we could agree to blame crowchevar. or merriecrowsie. or the shift.

i couldn't think of a good way to work crow into shift.

I remember when Alex could hit.

1. That was a good swing and just BABIP bad luck.
2. Our official stance ITT is its a new day and Gordon is getting a 2nd chance.

But yes Alex is basically a free out and it makes me sad

I'd PH Orlando here

Hope he makes the best of it.

Blame lies with the 2 pitchers, more with Hoch. Don't blame the shift.

We are paying Hoch and Soria 13.5M not to be the closer or 8th inning guys... to be the 6th/7th inning dudes

Hoch ERA is almost 4. Soria ERA is over 3. Not good enough

We have 8 guys who are in the bullpen right now. It doesn't matter who starts next Tuesday ( gee or Flynn), this fact hold true.... the pitcher who has the worst bullpen ERA of the 8 is Hoch.

Soria said he thought comebacker was harder hit than it was, got crossed up. Makes play 95% of time. There's no excuse, he said -- per Rustin Dodd tweet
