Sheesh is there an easy out?

Top half of the first certainly could have been worse. Moustakas solo shot ends up as the only run.

A lot of barrels finding baseballs in that inning.

pots · « **Reply #4 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:21:45 pm »

Alcides Escobar - Ks quickly
Mike Moustakas - high fly ball that sneaks out to right
Lorenzo Cain - single
Eric Hosmer - Cain to second on wild pitch then single to right, Springer on it quickly, Cain holds, White boots the relay then Fister nails Cain at home
Kendrys Morales - Line drive in and out of the glve of a leaping Altuve who recovers and throws the out at first

1-0 Them

Altuve flys out deep to center to Cain who circle the wagons before catching it
Springer line out to Moutakas who gets him out twice on a throw to first
Correa deep fly to center.

Home boys forgot where not to hit it. 1-0 Them after 1

Good guys put the barrel on the ball too.

pots · « **Reply #7 on:** April 14, 2016, 07:31:42 pm »

Gordon lines out hard to Marwin
Perez soft grounder to Marwin
Infante grounds out to Marwin

Marwin is not impressed

1-0 Them mid 2

Rasmus, still the one the Royals fear, walks on 4 pitches
White gets ahead but swings and misses on a 3-2 pitch with Rasmus going, 2 down
Tucker Ks on a high one

1-0 them after 2.

I'm out for a while.

Nohitternohitternohitternohitternohitternohitternohitter... stop hitting to center!

Son of a bitch. And then miss the cutoff man, to boot.

Royals have capitalized on every extra out this series.

Gomez looks average in center tonight. He's not taking efficient lines to the baseball. Not sure if he could get there on that, but I bet Marisnick would have had a better shot.

I really don't like how Fister folded after the mis-play in RF. Glad they changed that to a Hit. He and his ERA can deal with it.

I am sick of Carlos Gomez, but I am 100 percent more sick of the shitty brand of baseball this team is playing currently.

WVastro · « **Reply #25 on:** April 14, 2016, 09:06:02 pm »

This team is snakebit right now. Things will turn around soon.

I keep coming back to this thought: the Mets looked at him last summer and decided that Cespedes was the more reliable guy.

This story from Blum and brownie re: the Ike experience makes me want to reiterate FUCK BUD AND THE CUBS.

That's a nice little bit of irony: Springer wins the "which outfielder makes the best catches" poll on the night where he loses a ball in the lights.
