I remember when our ace cueto did this.

Went away that entire at bat, Cain never adjusted

Hes thrown about 90 balls and 32 strikes, we just cannot trust the ump or lay off garbage at the same time.

Not happening.

A) Why is Gore/Dyson not pinch running for Rios after he miraculously walked and actually gave the team a chance?
B) Why is Escobar pretending to bunt instead of having Dyson/Gore steal and then try to move a guy over?
C) WHY IN THE ****ING HOLY ****ING **** IS ZOBRIST BUNTING?

Zobrist bunting has to be THE WTF moment of out ALDS thus far. That is monkey **** stupid

We're down 2 runs. Zobrist tried a bunt, but didn't get it down the third base line. Otherwise, we're sitting pretty. As it its, if we stay down 2 with the 8th inning coming up then I still feel confident.

Zobrist bunting was the most Christian thing ever. Great sacrifice. Jesus died for our sins, and then Zobrist bunted.

He was bunting for a hit, not a sacrifice. Did it on his own. Bad decision.

If you pinch run Dyson for Rios, Keuchel would be thinking about the runner the whole damn time. Not saying we would've scored, but it would have helped.

Gutted his way through the last 4 innings.

No, that belongs to the battery of Volquez and Perez. They should have thrown something other than a changeup to Castro.

I don't care how good he is. He wasn't particularly great today and we got embarrassed. Absolutely pathetic showing.

C

Well, that sucks.

man in scoring position, 1 out, 1 run down, 7th inning

Zobrist bunts

Don't give a **** if he was trying to bunt for a base hit, we needed to score the guy at 2nd.


:doh!:

****

Alright, Ball game. Down 2-1.

See you all tomorrow.

Welp.

Ball game

****

And off goes the crappy stream.

Ok. That might be it. Hate to say it.

Game. ****ing see you tomorrow

That's that.

Save us, Yordano

This will be hard to come back from.

**sigh**

Hater.

Fun day !!!

Such a moronic pitch

Oh no! We suck again!

Better score some ****ing runs tomorrow

Crush city meeein!

What a great day for KC!

Just think, if we traded Duffy for Cueto we'd still be up 3-1!

Hard? More like impossible.

2 innings we can get 3 runs, maybe not off douchebag but I think we can :D

Offense was absolutely pathetic today. Has been basically all series.

Duffy-the-douche strikes again

I just don't understand a first pitch fastball there. That's exactly what he looks for!

Why is Duffy on the mound?? Two filthy righties on the bench and Ned lets him pitch the 7th.

Last year Royals had fight and grit every at bat mattered and they took it to all the innings possible to win a series We just have to get that GRIT True Grit

Duffy might give up more.

Go strong or go home tomorrow.

THAT "should" DO IT! :clap:
Keep rolling STROS! :clap:

They worked counts well today. Just couldn't get the big hit. Been that same song for the last month.

eat shit and die

That's what I was wondering. Why is Duffy on the mound against a right-handed power hitter in a little league stadium?

Get out of here.

Because Yost wanted to troll some more.

i am still floored we have Rios walking and Dyson stays in the dugout. **** you Ned. Dumb!

Because lefty vs righty matchups favor the .........

Oh ****.

Ned was disgusted with the pitch call just as much as I was. You can easily get Carter out...move to a lefty in Castro, then bring in the righty. Not Ned's fault at all.

Your team plays like ours did last year. We look absolutely reeruned at the plate

ROFL Naw, I'll save that for if the Royals come back and win this game or series.

So we have like six or seven extra base hits this series. Have any been with runners on base?

Of course, if we can force game 5 Keuchel will probably pitch the last 2 innings to win it.

Shut your mouth you hussy.

First 3 hit game of season by Carter

Shit, we ALWAYS look reerunED at the plate with double-digit strike outs! BUT, we win more than we lose, so...:shrug:

Thought they didn't do too bad, actually... as mentioned, Moose's double was like the 7th extra base hit against Dallas this season and Cain's HR was a rare one, too... and they worked him. Lefties came up at the wrong time... I hear he's pretty good against them.

Everyone here has been saying this game was a loss for the past week, no chance against this guy... it was a pretty intense game for a while, hard to say they were absolutely pathetic.

Not one good reason. Not one.

I don't get why people keep saying this. The Royals struck out 1000 times and hit 1000 homers every game?

You can look reeruned when your hitters hit the long ball and you have Dallas Keuchel on the mound

So far, royals hitting has been clutch.

Mainly the situational hitting. 0 for 7 with RISP. They are 2 for 5. Also, as the broadcast mentioned Keuchel is one of the worst in the league (among starters I think they said) with giving up a .280 average with RISP.

Yep. He really sucked this year except for the last few weeks of the season. His BA was below .200 ALL season. Then, hit like .600 down the stretch. Go figure.

They find ways to win

When you have runners in scoring position 4 straight innings and don't score a single run, it's pretty pathetic. Gordon, Hosmer, Zobrist and Cain ddidn'tcome through. Those are your horses, I don't care how good Kueckel is.

Good point... I still say this series goes 5, but its MUCH easier to play .500 ball than .1000.

He went to Canada a few weeks ago.

Yep. They've roughed him up before. He's not invincible.

Isn't it about time for Hosmer to get his meaningless homer so he can strut around like he did something?

Rub some dirt on it Hosmer

It's pretty easy to win when the other team is bunting in a 2-run game in the 7th.

I agree, but just maybe Kuekel is the reason they didn't. Dude is kinda good...:shrug:

Hosmer has AIDS

****. Hosmer has been completely worthless today.
