Smith getting shelled already *Royals* gamethread 5-23
 

Sucks to see his family all stoked and then the dick head yankees are teeing off on him.

3-0 in the 1st so far...

Just let him pitch 110 pitches and pull him. He'll eventually hit a stride.

We are using an already in use thread for the game thread. See "Goooo Royals."

The ghost of Eduardo Villacis lives

Time to send hmi back

Well, he is getting a rushed debut early because we have like five pitchers on the DL. :shrug: Plus he's probably not the sharpest in his first game against a lineup full of future hall-of-famers. I'd say its a little early for Pete to declare him a bust. ;)

Guess if we are going to bring up just any guy with a live arm we might as well bring up Montgomery too. He supposedly has "great stuff" and they've got almost identical stats across the board other than Smith is 2.5 to 1 SO/BB to Montgomery's 1.5 to 1 SO/BB. Hasn't really translated into anymore runs given up though. They've only got a .3 ERA, .01 WHIP, and 1/3 innings pitched difference between them. Bring'em all up!!

Why would you not have Gordon lay down a sac bunt in that scenario? You know Pettite against left handers is going to induce a groundout. Sacrifice bunt scores one and advances another to scoring position and brings up a righty. Poor game management there, imo.

Will Smith fitting right in with our pitching staff

JFC...this guy is not very good

Wow Yankee fans are cheering arod tonight

****ing douchers

No small-ball in the AL until the 8th and 9th, please, unless there are extenuating circumstances (which don't exist in this case).
