maybe there's such a thing as too confident in the other team's shittiness.

any runs will be attributed to gore today, the mantis has been put into an end of life care facility in the kc metro.

they rode him too hard. i defy anyone to find a more durable magic insect.

Bad read by Jirsh. But the ball Mo hit would have likely been a DP ball to end inning anyway.
.
Kennedy...quit being a dumbass and throwing fastballs to Dozier. He has 23 HRs since July 31.
He fouled off 2 of your FB over 300 feet down the left field line after he belted the one in the first inning.

hopefully kennedy challenges dozier with more fastballs next time he comes up. He can get him, I know he can.

This pitching matchup should favor us big time. But this game has a hangover affect feel from the tough weekend series. We aren't playing real smart so far.

pretty incredible that dozier has hit 25% of his homeruns off the royals this year.

Why do I have biggest nonhomosexual boner for Gordon. I also do and I don't want to sex him up

watching this team play without the benefit of a mantis is not so great.

Dyson not stealing is like caging an eagle in a pen.

have dyson steal home. what in the hell do you have to lose?

sys · « **Reply #67060 on:** September 05, 2016, 02:40:14 PM »

at this point in the season, a home run in a stealing home situation is a disappointment.

Mo

We needed that shot in the arm so sooooo bad. Now hopefully Kennedy will pull his head out of his ass

It's not like Dyson doesn't have the green light to steal anytime he wants (except home, sorry Sys)
At times, he is just very selective and really wants to study that pitchers move.
I'd prefer he steal earlier in the count, but Dyson just waits most times

Maybe we will get a strahm steak and follow it with a couple of pounders tonight

I heard on 810 this morning that in those 4 close losses last week, KC was just 2 for 13 in getting a runner at 3rd to score with less than 2 outs. We are wasting a lot of scoring chances the past week.

2 for 13, you say. that's funny because gore can successfully steal home at least 5 out of 13 times.

i like big john flynn. i dunno if he's a good pitcher or not, but i'm happy whenever he comes in.

Sys...your boys Moylan and Big John Flynn doing a great job there bailing out Kennedy.
Great righty lefty duo

wetwillie · « **Reply #67068 on:** September 05, 2016, 03:27:15 PM »

I hope the royals come to their senses and keep dyson for next year.

sys · « **Reply #67069 on:** September 05, 2016, 03:27:41 PM »

i dunno if i like moylan. i like that we have an illegal, but then i remember that he's only been a royal 1 year and he's like 40 years old and so he's probably about 50% of all the illegals that people have used against the royals over the years so then i dunno.

if they don't, they can say goodbye to sys, royalsfan who posts on goEMAW.com.

League hitting only .174 vs him as a Reliever (25-144) I like that. He quietly just does a good job out of the Pen.

sys · « **Reply #67073 on:** September 05, 2016, 03:36:53 PM »

he handles his business, which is more than can be said for some pitchers i've heard of.

I guess gore got the night off
