Did Hootard give up?

We should have had more runs that inning. We should still have more opportunities against their pen.

[Bambi]

Moustakas shoulda stayed in high school.

[Shogun]

I would have had much for confidence with Frenchy there

Should have been 2, if the ump was consistent.

The Royals aren't going to get calls until they win the division a handful of times.

Detroit's bullpen is terrible. Unfortunately, their lineup is not.

I dont think where he was at in the lineup caused him to strikeout

That was a great pitch though.

[Strongside]

Moose has to be thinking "I cut off my sweet jerry curl mullet for this!?"

[TLO]

I'm not giving up on Moose yet.... but he needs to be sent down. Guy has 0 confidence. Just remember how long it took Gordon to get to where he is.

[DTHOF]

Moose needs to get his head out soon or get someone else in there

[Strongside]

That's it Mendoza. Throw at his head.

Um... yep?

[MeatRock]

I'm more concerned with Moose's defense. His frustration at his lack of offense is starting to hurt his defense now.
