Still making him work. He's thrown a lot of high stress pitches the last two innings.

You know it's bad when they're intentionally walking our 2 hitter to get to Hosmer. The guy is absolutely worthless right now.

Keuchel against lefties is lethal. Yes, Hos had a shit AB, but Keuchel is just filthy.

All left-handed batters on this team are utter ass right now.

Drug test him

Nice job

Holy smokes. Volquez has all his pitches working today.

Dyson for Rios is a significant upgrade at D and would put pressure on any pitcher who happens to let him on. Dyson batting 9 and Gordo at leadoff might help get Gordo out of a slump with a steady dose of fastballs when Dyson is on.

Obviously that won't happen, but getting Dyson in there would be a start.

In conclusion, **** Rios.

Good news. Keuchel has almost 90 pitches through 5.

Dyson will probably be in soon.

Call that damnit

Keep it in the park

Against a RH pitcher? I'm all for it.

Against a lefty, and a lefty (like Keuchel) who dominates LH hitters? You might as well let the pitcher hit and DH for Dyson.

Dyson should start vs righties.

Kept it in the park, but crap

****balls

Shit.

**** word.

Uh oh

We need find way get out of this.

Not good here. We couldn't make them pay. Can't let them capitalize.

Need a K.

Low strike

KEEP EM THERE VOLKEY

He's ops'ing the same Rios against LHP if you can believe it (.570 vs .578), and he doesn't look like he's running in sand in the outfield.

****.

Ah,,shit

Crap

nice 1-2 pitch

Shit

Game over.

Well shit

****

****

Just keep it here and hopefully we get their bully

Yep, can't allow anymore.

Get out here with 2 runs. Get to their bullpen.

Royals need to answer right back like in game 2

Get the midget

Well, we had our shot. Too bad.

I hate the midget

I wanted a high heat fastball there...they knew the changeup was coming.

Good job limiting the damage.

We're fine.

DP

It always seems that when you walk someone they score.

Nice!

There we go.

Nice

Whew. Close.

What?! Haha..get outta here.

Another 2 strike, ahead in the count pitch over the middle of the plate. Quite a few of those by this staff.

Nice. Still in this. We can get more runs here.

It makes me so mad that as soon as they get a scoring opportunity they score.

Jason Castro?

That's what good teams do.

Yes! Let's get Keuchel outta there now.

Had our chances. May get a crack at Astros bullpen after 7 but have to hold at 2-1. Had our chances

you gotta score more than 2 runs anyway...if you thought we'd win 1-0 you were high anyway...that being said I fully expected a loss today going into it

Gotta work the hell out of Keuchel this inning.

This guy is seriously worse than Pete. He has said that quote or some variation of it in nearly every game thread I've seen him in, including multiple games they ended up winning.

A Sal walk with them loaded? Baseball.

Just get DK out of there. Make this be his last inning.

Meanwhile, Gordon andhHosmer do nothing in same situation

Got to play get em on, get em over, get em in baseball.

There's always one guy who has to say this shit. Too bad.

If we can get to the pen soon, I'll feel pretty good about where we are.

I had it a loss too.

Oh, I never noticed that. Ha, makes sense then. Speaking of, look at a couple of posts above yours.

Or Morales can even it up right now.

I agree

You pussies can leave. Go join the shitty Chiefs threads.

A lot tougher facing DK

92 pitches

Nice Moose

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!

Moooooose

Moose!

Alrighty.

Moose double!

Moose!
