KC: Mendoza, Luis (2-4, 4.41)


Let's do this.

You excited about this game or something?

Good Lord.

Hella early.

But...IM IN!

Gotta keep winning series

We got the good Wade.

It sure would be nice to get the good Dozer.

Gio on the bench again today. That whole "play him to find out what we've got" lasted less than a week.

Get the win!

Yeah, someone might want to explain "sample size" to Dayton Moore and Yost. I realize that the latter sets the lineup, but the former must be able to override stupidity, and is thus ultimately responsible for this nonsense.

What an ugly ****ing lineup.

Yost ****ing with the lineup yet again. No Perez and Hos is back to the #3 spot.

Apparently the Rangers have activated Joakim Soria. He hasn't pitched since 2011. Going to be weird seeing him in another uniform.

Hi, I'm Ned Yost, and if there is one thing I cherish in life it's variety. Change. Gotta love it. Change for the sake of change is the best kind when you get down to it. Something working for ya? Change it! You need the drama in your life. It keeps you young, keeps that anxiety level up, doesn't let you get too far ahead ....well in some cases it doesn't let you get ahead at all. Just look at my record as the Royals Manager! Do you know that in 82 games I have only had the same lineup maybe 5 times. Now that's change we can all get behind. I can't risk my players getting settled into a role and give the time to adjust and understand things. No Sir! That leads to things like consistency and we just can't have that. And we all know, if you can't be consistent at the top, there is no way to be consistent at the bottom.

I'm Ned Yost, your KC Royals Manager!
