haha what a lineup

I hope we decide to play defense today.

Butera better do something huge today. Maybe he can start by catching the ball

Probably not with Hammel spiking breaking balls five feet in front of the plate.

In it to win it.

Oh Butera is catching. We lost this game

Esky in the 6 hole!!

Done deal. KC getting Melky back from the White Sox.

**** yes!!

Pumped about Melky.

I take great joy in the fact that we will never have to see Jorge Bonifacio bat 2nd again.

Wow! Great move! Let's do this shit!

Nice play, Merrifield.

Turned on the game, said 'is that luke hochaver' and I think that's the 10th time I've done that this year.

Good bunt Esky. Not a easy play by the Red Sox pitcher.

Yeah good play. I kinda do feel like Esky has lost a step though.

I guess Ned expects this game to be low scoring. Hopefully that means he's also prepared to take out Jason before the 6th inning starts.

Maybe Butera can rebound from costing the Royals the game last night.

I'm all for not re signing Cain

2013-2015 Cain would had dived for it and caught that.

Good to see the crisp play from last night returning.

ButerAIDS is up on them today.

This feels like an ass kicking is on the way. Jason Hammel tries hard but he's just not very good

Cain and now Alex giving Red Sox runners extra bases.

Alex??

Following on mlb gameday. LoCain made an error? Was it a routine play for Cain?

Yeah, poor decision to try to get the runner at 3rd.

Bloody hell

This Hammel guy doesn't seem to be very good.

Yep. He didn't know if he wanted to dive or not and the ball bounced right by him

Got out of that only giving up 2 runs.

Cain cost us that inning. The sloppiness from yesterday continues.

Cain, in general, has been playing really lackadaisical defense over the last month.

I have a new trade plan.

Trade Hammel to the Indians for their stretch run.

Every time I see Jason Hammel I think the same thing.

Hanley went!!

**** Salvy

Esky!

JFC with the double plays already!

Not talking about anyone's mental perspective but from a performance standpoint the Royals have not played like a team interested in winning this series.

Meh. I don't think that's true at all. I think they have played like a team that was due for a little let down after two strong weeks of baseball. I will say that if they lose 2 of 3 to the BoSox without facing Sale and Price, well, that's a ****ing KITN.

I'm still not over last night's game. That was one of the most frustrating games in memory.

That's a HR

Jeez Hammel

You guys need to not put as much into individual games. Some times you gotta sit back and realize there are 162 of these. We won a few this year we had no business winning (Astros, Blue jays comebacks, etc)

Cain is getting his swing back.

At least Cain came to play

Even in 2015 we had heartbreakers, we just choose to forget them.

**** you Hos

Hit a 302 foot looper last night for a homer, hits a 400 foot screamer that doesn't leave the park today.

Remember when Davis & Holland combined to blow a 4 run lead against the Angels late in the year?

Terrible AB from Hos.

This team sucks

Yeah, he went around.

Salvy do not get thrown out.

Since you feel that way, you won't mind being banned from this thread then?

That was once. Most teams have those happen multiple times in a season. Holland blew a lead or two due to injury and he got replaced

JFC!!!!!!

3B and no outs = 0 runs

FML

Meh.

And your point is? My point was every team has heartbreaking losses over a 162 game stretch.

Apparently, the offense had been chugging gatorAIDS today

Terrible at bats by Hos and Salvy

Timely DP.

6th inning and 85 pitches for Hammel. Look out.....

6 inning with Hammel.

Always a ****ing treat.

Yay. McDouble Fat-ass Sandwiches will be $1 tomorrow!!!!

This pleases Billy Butler.

Double play. Praise Jesbus!

Really a pretty damned good outing by Hammel. Can't ask for much more than that from him. The offense has just been pure SHIT today.

Thanks. I'm new to baseball.

LMAO

Watching Indians-White Sox live. Tomlin was throwing a no no through 4. And he's gone! Injury!

Nick Goody in for Tribe up 1-0 B5

These clowns aren't gonna help us are they....

Outside of the second inning, this.

But then again, I'd take 6 innings and 3 runs from Hammel every single start. That's a solid line for your #4/#5 starter.

Not bad, JH.

Not gonna matter if we can't help ourselves....

Stupid wall costing us a run.

**** you Boni.

You need to sit on the bench.

13 runners LOB thru 7. That's how you get your ass beat

Boni is ****ing terrible

If we lose today it's not a big deal. But yesterday where we score 8 and leave many more that's the game you can't lose to a struggling team.
