Did anyone else see that called third strike on Gordon?

At least we got a run that inning though.

I was shocked that both Gordo & Salvy were picked for the All-Star team.

Can't believe Holland isn't even on the Final Vote roster...5 relievers listed, no Holland  :dunno: Dude is averaging > 1.5 K/IP

There are so many stud closers these days it's ridiculous.  Sucks for Holland though.

and we're about to be 1-5 against them. why should we not expect to compete against good teams?

1-5 is pud city, but to say nothing has changed is silly talk.

the good thing about baseball is that when the royals are losing by more than 2 or 3, i can just stop paying attention without any guilt.  i get all of the wins and only maybe a third to half of the losses.

Are we really talking about sending down Moose when he's just starting to improve?  2 HRs recently and that double today, batting average is up 40 points, sure his numbers are still crap, but come on, why ignore the improvement?  Anyway, any opinions on lineups?  Ned's are crap and puts them in weird orders that should not be there.  If Hos was hitting 4th with Gordon Butler and Salvy ahead of him, we'd probably be scoring a lot more runs.

Agreed. Moose is beginning to show signs of life. This is no time to send him down.

First came the multi hit games, now we're seeing his power come back.  The young guys who are supposed to be the future of the org.(Moose and Hos) have made some really good strides under George and Pedro, and I want to see some new prospects under them eventually like Mondesi, Starling, and Dozier.

The royals just need to get me to august and then I can discard them. Id even settle for two more weeks of quasi relevancy.
