its pretty clear that ventura is a giant rough ridin' stud

sys · « **Reply #7101 on:** September 23, 2013, 10:41:07 PM »

so i've been studying the situ a little and i figured out that with ventura, duffy and smith the royals might (probably will) win 125 next year.

Hard to argue with Sys on this one folks. We're looking at a below 2.00 team ERA in 2014

Adda way bonafacio.. but can someone please explain to me why the eff he tried to bunt?

sys · « **Reply #7109 on:** September 23, 2013, 11:31:38 PM »

good old gordofacio. jfc, i hate sac bunts. at least with 0 outs and a runner on 2nd.

even if he should have gotten a way better jump and was safe anyways.

managers are dumbasses that can't think rationally about probabilities. they just think a hit isn't a guarantee, therefore it's a 0%, which is still 0% x 3 batters. oth, a bunt is over 50% and and a flyball is, i dunno, not all that hard, therefore, players ought to be able execute them 100% of the time.

1.) Ned called a squeeze and somehow Alcedes didn't get the memo.

2.) Bonafacio actually thought bunting was a good idea on his own.

Either way, Ned has no control of the situation.

I'm not talking about when we tried to sac bunt Maxwell over. I'm talking about when Bonafacio bunted foul on the first pitch with alcedes on 3rd and alex on first, then proceeded to swing and got a hit.

Unbelievable. Two dingers in a row off Luke??

bullpen has been kinda unreliable lately. it least it feels that way.

Never has had a successful sac bunt in his career. That being the case, my bet is Ned called for the bunt. Yost Yosting.

It's unbelievable people have the balls to defend him.

i'm almost as disappointed in not bunting failing as i am in the royals not scoring. now that dumbass will think he was right.

Is it just me or does #20 look like a small child who shouldnt be major league in anything?

And we walked him..

Maybe at some point you just leave Butler in, just in case he comes up in the lineup again.
