Yunni cost us 1-2 runs that inning.

WilliamTheIrish 04-18-2010 02:45 PM

What a ****ing nightmare. It's game 12 and I want to turn off the TV the second the starter leaves the game.

HotRoute 04-18-2010 02:45 PM

Dodged a huge bullet there. And can someone find that Hughes kid and break his freaking arm so he can never pitch for us again. Good lord he is awful

Thanks for the info.

He was no where near the bag when he caught the ball. I don't know WTF he was thinking?

He certainly did his part, but Hughes was a ****ing idiot that inning. Two BB, one a LO walk to Hudson after having him down 0-2.

It seems when the Pen doesn't outright **** us, our defense will. Or some combination of.

I agree. Leadoff walks are something I will never understand. Especially when you have a 4 run lead at the time. There is no excuse to not put one over and let the guy get himself out.

petegz28 04-18-2010 02:49 PM

Ok, Yunni, time to redeem yourself, fugtard

I can't count how many times the pitch has been in the zone on gameday and called a ball.

WilliamTheIrish 04-18-2010 02:59 PM

I'd trade Eunuch-ieski Betancourt back to Castro for a good cigar. That fatass needs to lose about 30 lbs.

Dude, these Umps have squeezed the pitchers all series. I would be curious to see what their grades are.

Delano 04-18-2010 03:03 PM

Played with fire on that 1-1 pitch. Justin is off.

I wish they would put that Fox Tracks in the corner so we could have it for every pitch

LMAO Bloomquist would have been out by 4 feet had the catcher had a handle on that.

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:14 PM

AC!!!!!

BillSelfsTrophycase 04-18-2010 03:14 PM

Damn Callaspo

Another 3 run jack

I'm glad I have Callaspo on my fantasy team.

Damn son

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:14 PM

I don't give a **** about his defense, when Getz comes back Gordon needs to ride the pine.

DeezNutz 04-18-2010 03:14 PM

LMAO. Boom.

Dear Barnyard, please don't use this game as evidence for why Callaspo should be in the 3 spot.

alnorth 04-18-2010 03:15 PM

the cool thing about that is Soria still has a save opportunity.

DeezNutz 04-18-2010 03:16 PM

Last night, Kendall should have been credited with a homerun for sending a fly to the track.

Well, I don't care either way at 2nd, Getz or Avilles, my point is AC needs to stay in the lineup and Gordon is oddman out, imo.

Hey man, you can't gripe on Kendall. He has done well so far. I can count on one hand and not use all my fingers on how many passed balls we have had so far.

We should care, though, because Aviles can hit and Getz cannot.

Don't know if you're interested Pete but I found this article: http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/ar...ionate-umpire/

that may interest you about strike zone interpretation using pitch/fx data. It shows that umpires have a 50% larger zone on 3-0 than on 0-2. It made me think about how umpires really do affect games.

WilliamTheIrish 04-18-2010 03:17 PM

And nice job by 'Berto giving the guys some breathing room.

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:18 PM

Ok, I know it is a 5 run lead but why do you pull your best outfielder? Maybe I answered my own question, but still

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:19 PM

He swung!

Demonpenz 04-18-2010 03:20 PM

he swung at that

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:20 PM

That's a swing, like it or not

Blankey 04-18-2010 03:20 PM

That's a swing

WilliamTheIrish 04-18-2010 03:20 PM

Take a ****ing shower Gardenhire.

Come on now Gardy, that was a tossable argument.

Chiefspants 04-18-2010 03:24 PM

Did Crain pitch around Ankiel to get to Callaspo last inning? It kind of looked that way on Gameday.

petegz28 04-18-2010 03:24 PM

Game over.

Royals Win!!

Yes, that was not a typo....Royals Win!

ugly win but i will take it

AndChiefs 04-18-2010 03:25 PM

At least Rupe is looking pretty decent so far. Him, Parrish, and Soria at least gives us a couple bullpen arms.

Rupe had a great game. He should not have had to be out there as long as he was. He got the ground ball for the DP that was needed. Got another. Then struck out Thome with bases loaded. You can't ask for more than that.

DeezNutz 04-18-2010 03:27 PM

No English, really?

I could care less, but that's a willful choice when you've been living in a country for, what, four years or so?

I would also live with Tejeda going out there. Just keep Cruz, Farnsworth, and Mendoza out when you have a lead or are tied.

He spends the MLB season playing baseball all the time with people that speak Spanish. He spends the Dominican Winter League season playing baseball all the time with people that speak Spanish. Dude may live in America for most of the year but then it is very easy to live in America and not have to speak any English.

Absolutely.

I just find it interesting. Little harder to do that in the KC area, however.

WilliamTheIrish 04-18-2010 03:36 PM

He hits like that and he speak Martian (like Trey) for all I care.

Harder than L.A.? Yeah. Hard at all? Not hard whatsoever. The 2010 Census is going to surprise people with how strong the Hispanic presence in KC is.

Yeah, that will also be interesting and enlightening information.

Mr_Tomahawk 04-18-2010 04:24 PM

Just got back form the game...

GORGEOUS STADIUM.

I counted 4 Royals fans including myself. Got a foul ball tossed to me [front row] from DeJesus.
