Has it ever been more fun to be a Kansas City sports fan than now? Where all three teams (Chiefs, Royals, SKC) are looking good?

The Royals are clearly the city's best team, but hell this is awesome.

That Trop is a god-awful place. Let's sweep it clean.

If he keeps pitching like he been this month, I'm good with that.

3-1, 3.67 ERA, 1.30 WHIP

The walks are still a bit concerning, but it's a lot more manageable when he keeps the ball down in the zone.

Yeah, if he could keep them under two runs and not have 90+ pitches through five innings, that would be great.

Because you guys love your stats so much. Bottom line, Esky is struggling bad at the plate, the Rays just epically screwed up the bunt before, and you have your 2-3-4 hitters coming up. Why wouldn't you bunt?

Esky is literally our worst hitter not named Omar Infante or Drew Butera. He's a 9 hitter batting leadoff ...

now, if you're bunting Zobrist or Cain in that situation ... then you definitely have a point

I dont really like bunting there at all, unless its a P or Butera/Infante (maybe). A much better argument for bunting if you are facing Dallas Keuchal and have Cueto on the mound our something. Butx the Royals routinely do it over and over again. It is one of those situations you just have to go based on the numbers

I think it will once Gordon comes back. I think Ned is becoming a bit less stubborn lately. Yost is a great manager in the clubhouse as far as presence and gaining respect of the players. But he gives alot away tactically. A monkey could manage our bullpen, its idiot proof.

duffy's done...last batter for him regardless

Dude battled today, I'll give him that. It wasn't pretty at times, but he kept his team in it. At 99 pitches, I seriously doubt he comes back out in the 6th

Getting tagged out while still in the batters box has to be a "dogging it" record.
Did Kendrys break his ankle again on that one?

Only infield, I'm pretty sure you can challenge an outfield fair or foul.

Its probably not reviewable because an infield fair/foul ball that was caught and didn't bounce foul is such a judgment call.

08-30-2015, 02:07 PM

"Judgment calls" are by definition something that are less likely to need to be reviewed. Calls that need to be reviewed are black and white, it either bounced on this side of the line or that, either he tagged him or not, etc and we can often easily see it. This is where in midair in relation to the line was the fielder when he caught the ball, with the limited angles we have, we are not going to be able to see it very often.

Well Pete, you gave it your all. Long plane ride home. Ned will probably chew out the squad for not giving their all today.

Ned will probably lecture Morales on how dogging it to 1st could have injured his ankle. Thankfully, Morales only injured his ego.

Just a heads up. Jake Arrieta is throwing a no hitter through 8 against the Dodgers. That guy has really turned into an ace. Bet the Orioles wish they still had him right about now.

Hootie

hilarious trade

Scott Feldman netted them a top 5 NL starter

dude has filthy good stuff ...

Theo has just killed it for Chicago. Cashner for Rizzo. Feldman for Arrieta. Draft Bryant/Schwarber ... turned 1.5 years of Samardzija into Addison Russell.

I mean ... he's doing legendary things over there. It's amazing.

Cards just need to make sure the Giants don't overtake the Dodgers and they'll be all set to win another title ... they own the Cubs more than they own the Royals
