Day game lineup with Buterrible and no Moose. At least no Gordon tho. Gonna need Whit (my guy) to come through like I know he can.

What a freaking joke!

Whit is the team MVP right now, I still can't believe they started him in Omaha.

Of all the decisions the Royals have made lately, this one is the most bizarre.

Okay, maybe regularly playing the worst hitter in baseball might be worse, but you get the idea.

the TWO worst hitters, _FAN. and they are the two worst by a country breakfast mile

150. Villar MIL .632
151. Swanson ATL .632
152. Hamilton CIN .630
153. Peraza CIN .625
154. Escobar KC .585
155. Gordon KC .570

Escobar has been pretty good since June 1, so that's not very reflective of him as a batter now.

Gordon has been awful all season and August is his worst month.

Totally agree, Esky is never a great hitter by any stretch of the imagination, but he's been pretty serviceable and solid since June. In general I enjoy his play and knocking him a bit of a non-starter. Gordo has been just a steaming mess of hot garbage.

Or doing righty/lefty/situational use of the pen; also something we've been clamoring for. (Pete actually got the last 2 batters in the 7th, in addition to starting the 8th and facing 1 batter)

Well, crap.

And Ned gets burned.

I was a huge Minor fan the 1st half of the year.
Man, has he been a disappointment in the 2nd half. He's allowed runs in 7 of last 11 appearances.

0-5 with a 5.40 here since the break.

What did us in this afternoon? I could only glance at the gamecast at work. I saw two bombardiers from known studs. Absence of Salvy and Moose? Ned? Boney?

Or just baseball being tricky?

wetwillie · « **Reply #72317 on:** August 24, 2017, 04:42:43 PM »

Only have to win 2 out of every 3 from here out we got this!

bones129 · « **Reply #72318 on:** August 24, 2017, 10:12:38 PM »

No help from Boston tonight. At least the ChiSox beat Minnesota.

nickname jerseys tonight: afaik the cleveland pitcher tonight has not been around long enough to have a nickname

kso_FAN · « **Reply #72320 on:** August 25, 2017, 03:17:51 PM »

I don't understand that lineup at all.

Yes, CF3 it is super bad. I don't get the decision making behind it.
