Bunt for a hit

Dyson swinging for the fences!

Throw was in time, after watching in slo mo I think the tag was high on the steal attempt.

Or not

So bunt-loving, Ned, puts Dyson in and lets him swing away and leaves Moose on the bench???

Just WTF?

Short porch in right, need to let Dyson (not Moose) take advantage.

-Ned

Saving Moose so he can K in the 12th.

Nice

Nice hustle by Esky. Ran hard all the way.

Nice Esky.

The old slide feet first into first.....

Cain's been down in the count all night long.

I guess I'd rather they do that than dive head first into first

Easy. Get him in, no excuses.

Nice steal. Perfectly done. C'mon LoCain. Can you hear a "Lets go Royals" chant?

Yea....sounds like it's coming from Mike Sweeney.

missing too many pitches that are up and should be getting crushed

WTF?!?

Uhhh.... ok.

I'm glad he made it.

Hell yes Esky.

Can you get him home?

WE NEED TO WIN THIS ONE GOSH DARN IT, DAG NAB IT!!!

See? You bring up Mike Sweeney, and see what happens?

Royals: Can't hit a sac fly since 2012.

****ing AIDS

I'm going to bed. I like sending him though.

:facepalm:

Wow

Yet again, a hitter doesn't do his ****ing job.

Hell of a tag. Don't mind it at all

Not a bad play.

It's like clockwork, we get a guy on 3rd with less than 2 out and immediately pop up on the infield

Be Royal.

When you do something really crazy and get away with it, try not to follow up with another crazy move.

Time for Davis to blow the game here....

JFC

Ned needs to be challenging that. He was safe!

Umm

HE's SAFE!

How do you not challenge that?

Esky was safe. But too close to over turn it.

Escobar was safe.

He was ****ing safe! Fever making excuses for Ned sitting in the dugout like a bitch.

The radio guys are absolutely rock-solid for sure that he's out

**** YOU NED YOST! PACK YOUR BUNT FILLED PLAYBOOK AND GET THE **** OUT OF KC YOU PUSSY!

The radio guys are ****ing stupid and blind. He was safe.

Ned sitting on his hands not challenging. **** him.

ROFL

I think everyone here who is seeing the replay says he was safe and at the very least it is worth a review. Ned sitting on his ass like a pussy.

Should I stay up late and watch this game?

Hud asks, "isn't it worth the try?"

Lefevere says nothing. He considers himself a purist, so he probably says no challenge on principle.

Fever still trying to make excuses for pussy Ned

I mean how the **** do you not challenge that?

Is there a reason not to challenge?

I can't see it, but I will say that in the 9th inning there's almost no downside to challenging even if you think the odds of a reversal are slim.

Hell no. Matlock comes on at 10pm California Time, and Ned doesn't want to miss it two nights in a row!

The ball clearly beat Esky, but the tag was higher on the leg instead of down by the foot. Foot comes across the plate as the tag is applied. Given that it may have won a game in the 9th, not sure HTF you don't challenge.

not much of one. Even if you lose, the umps retain the right to initiate a challenge on your behalf if something egregiously bad happens later.

The downside is if something really bad happens later, the umps fold their arms and say "nope", and you can't force them to look.

And that's what burns my ass...it's the top of the 9th, tie game..wtf do you have to lose? Get off your ass and go chew some ear. Maybe New York sees it your way but how do you know if you don't try?

Esky slid his foot under the tag. It was close, definitely worth a review. What other situation can you think of that's more important to challenge? Even if you lose, so what?

The good Wade Davis came to pitch tonight

****ing awesome inning.

Well that was the most pathetic half inning of baseball I think I've seen this year for the Padres.

There was zero reason to not challenge that. ZERO, to much on the line. You lose NOTHING by challenging that.



And holy crap Wade

And you wonder why this team is soft?

Right now, Ned arguably has cost us the game by not trying to win.

Ned Yost should be fired for that mistake. If we lose it is totally on him.

well, as far as "you lose NOTHING" goes, if you, hypothetically, really think the umps wont overturn, then you don't challenge.

Both of these teams are hopeless. My laptop is almost out of juice. Kitties are all asleep. Time to switch off the TV, fall asleep to the radio.

Bring home a winner boys.

I'm out.

Ned isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

LMAO

wow that was a pathetic AB by Moose.

Ned needs to send that pos back down to Omaha.

I wonder if its possible that Ned did not know that he still needs to challenge after the 6th inning if he hasn't challenged yet.

A lot of announcers screwed that all up to hell the first few weeks of the season, falsely thinking only umps could initiate challenges after the 6th.

He's definitely going to have a hell of a time explaining that post game.

Couple Ned sitting in the dugout like a wimp with pinch hitting Dyson and letting him swing away when you have Moose, Butler and Maxwell on the bench...

Ned doesn't send anyone anywhere.
That is the job of the GM.

I know you aren't watching, but it was close. To close to not challenge. When are you ever going to get a better opportunity to challenge a go ahead run in the 9th that was extremely close?

WEAR IT YOU CHUMP

Still no excuse for him to sit on his ass about it. Even worse because it means he doesn't know the rules.

Could be an explanation. I'm sure not sure that Andy will ask though.

I can see it now after the game:

Press: Why didn't you challenge the play at the plate?
Yost: You can do that?

What a horrifically bad offense we have gentlemen. Padres are the NL equivalent.
