[TLO]

In!

[big nasty kcnut]

In it to win it.

[cabletech94]

Let’s do it!!

[MeatRock]

Glasnow is tough. Dude is electric. Hopefully Minor can pitch well tonight.

[LittleMeatballNick]

Let's go!

[TLO]

I'd put Mondi in the 2 hole and bump everyone else down a spot.

[KChiefs1]

Glasnow is tough. Dude is electric. Hopefully Minor can pitch well tonight.


His last few games haven’t been as good as he was earlier in the season.

Direckshun’s mom?

[ChiefsCountry]

Benny is just getting robbed by Tampa's CF this series.

[PHOG]

This ump sucks bawls!

[petegz28]

Fuck this Ump, seriously...

[theoldcoach]

Let’s get some hits.

[petegz28]

well, walks come back to bite

[PHOG]

He only has one more inning at best. (Minor)

[PHOG]

And Soler goes down in 3 pitches. :shake:

[petegz28]

Soler needs to ride the pine for a couple....

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Soler is unfathomably awful.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Soler has more than twice as many strikeouts as hits this year. Lulz.

[LittleMeatballNick]

Holland warming up

[PHOG]

Nice throw Salvy!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Another solid outing for KC starting pitching. They're really keeping them in games lately. How about some offense!

[LittleMeatballNick]

He's walked 3 times this game

[PHOG]

Looked like all breaking balls to Mondesi. And he K'd.

[ChiefsCountry]

We just got a pitchers duel tonight.

[lcarus]

Soler has more than twice as many strikeouts as hits this year. Lulz.

Yeah what the hell happened? He was good in 2019.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

!!!

[LittleMeatballNick]

LETS GO!

[PHOG]

Hell yes Benintendi!!!

[cosmo20002]

:clap:

[ChiefsCountry]

Benny says catch that!

[lewdog]

Fuck yes!!!

[phisherman]

What a shot to the opposite field!

[Pablo]

That just sounded good.

[ROYC75]

AWESOME!

[Dartgod]

Come on Soler, you worthless POS.

[ROYC75]

Come on Soler, you worthless POS.

Time to earn that 1 hit / 50 AB contract!

[cosmo20002]

JFC Soler is a mess

[ROYC75]

:shake:

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Soler swings at ball 4.

[KChiefs1]

Soler needs to sit for awhile.

[lewdog]

Soler sucks so much ass.

[theoldcoach]

If I didn’t see Soler for 10 days………I wouldn’t be disappointed!

[theoldcoach]

No walks Brentz.

[lewdog]

No walks Brentz.

Fail

[LittleMeatballNick]

Come on Brentz...

[cosmo20002]

JFC

[KChiefs1]

Geezus.

[Dartgod]

No walks Brentz.

Way to jinx him dipshit. :D

[lewdog]

He’s young. He’s looking tight in this high leverage spot.

[KChiefs1]

No walks Brentz.

[theoldcoach]

Oh them bases on balls!

Late inning walks…..they usually beat you.

You just can’t give up free bases in the late innings.

[PHOG]

Thank goodness Phillips was up next. :)

[lewdog]

Any reason Phillips wears the over sized little league batting helmet?

[theoldcoach]

Way to jinx him dipshit. :D

It was fucking stupid of me.

Sorry all.

[lewdog]

It was fucking stupid of me.

Sorry all.

Check your rep.........


Neg rep!!!

[cosmo20002]

Phew...time for some little league rules!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Way to go, Brentz!

[theoldcoach]

But they don’t always beat you!!

Let’s win this fucker!

[PHOG]

Any reason Phillips wears the over sized little league batting helmet?
According to Hudler, it's for when he's on base, he doesn't have to worry about getting hit from either side of the head???

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Any reason Phillips wears the over sized little league batting helmet?

Cause he hits like an oversized little league player?

[theoldcoach]

Check your rep.........


Neg rep!!!

LOL

I deserve it!

[cosmo20002]

...and Mondi out for the season...

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Don't know if I like Mondesi giving them a free out with Dyson and Lopez coming up.

[ChiefsCountry]

Another bunt coming up?

[lewdog]

Don't know if I like Mondesi giving them a free out with Dyson and Lopez coming up.

My thinking as well. Too many turds coming to the plate.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

O'Hearn?!?!

[Dartgod]

O'Hearn is on deck. Puke...

[lewdog]

O'Hearn?!?!

He’s literally useless.

Where’s Mcbroom?

[theoldcoach]

He’s literally useless.

Where’s Mcbroom?

Omaha

[PHOG]

Why O'Hearn? :deevee:

[ROYC75]

Another bunt coming up?

I would have, 3 rd base side.

[cosmo20002]

crap, Dyson
Inning over

[petegz28]

That's why you bunt and then bunt again....don't understand that all why they didn't

[lewdog]

Omaha

I know, that’s the problem!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Can't even score with little league rules. Unbelievable.

[Dartgod]

That's why you bunt and then bunt again....don't understand that all why they didn't

Yep. Pinning your hopes on O'Hearn is foolish.

[petegz28]

With Dyson at the plate I have no idea why you don't lay down another bunt?

[ROYC75]

That deep fly came 1 batter too late.

[ChiefsCountry]

Should have bunted with Dyson. Take that chance with great speed.

[theoldcoach]

Fuck

[Mama Hip Rockets]

That's why you bunt and then bunt again....don't understand that all why they didn't

Have one of your best hitters bunt, then two of the worst hitters in the league swing away. :rolleyes:

[petegz28]

well....need a little luck here or it's over

[petegz28]

you're better off intentionally loading the bases so you have a play at the plate

[ROYC75]

4321

[Dartgod]

Matheny fucked that all up.

[PHOG]

Well, shit.

[cosmo20002]

shit

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Welp, that was predictable

[petegz28]

That loss is on Matheny....dumb decisions in the 10th

[theoldcoach]

Fuck

[lcarus]

I hate the new extra innings rule. Fucking stupid.

[TLO]

The new extra inning rules are dumb.

[petegz28]

Sox lost so there's that....

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Yep. This one is on Matheny. A number of mind-boggling decisions.

[RaidersOftheCellar]

Yosted. Shouldn’t have been forced to rely on Zuber.

[PHOG]

The new extra inning rules are dumb.
Yep

I hate the new extra innings rule. ****ing stupid.
Ditto

[Dartgod]

Agreed on the extra innings rule.

Dumb. As. Fuck.

[theoldcoach]

Interested in hearing why O’hearn for Lopez?

[theoldcoach]

Agree with all the rest.

Xtra innings rules are stupid for Major Leagues.

[Dartgod]

Interested in hearing why O’hearn for Lopez?

Matheny'd.

[lcarus]

Agree with all the rest.

Xtra innings rules are stupid for Major Leagues.

It was just so boring. Even the Rays didn't really care when they hit in their stupid unearned run. They were just like "yay we won I guess". I'm sure they're happy to get the win but it's just a lame way to win or lose. Especially a game where the pitchers played so well and runs were really hard to come by.

[theoldcoach]

Matheny'd.

And if you are going to bunt Mondesi…….then you just have to bunt Dyson.

And if you want O’hearn……..then pinch hit him for Dyson for the sac fly possibility.

But then……I don’t get paid the big bucks.

[ROYC75]

The rule is dumb, but Matheny really screwed it up by not bunting Dyson with Taylor's speed at 3rd base! :shake:

[jettio]

Interested in hearing why O’hearn for Lopez?

Since Tropicana Field is in Florida, two possible explanations:

1. Matheny is hoping to see a Florida Man headline, "Florida Man Kills Hope in Extra Innings." or

2. Florida has no state income tax.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Interested in hearing why O’hearn for Lopez?

Interested in hearing why O'Hearn in major league baseball?

[theoldcoach]

Interested in hearing why O'Hearn in major league baseball?

Well…………yes.

[lewdog]

I think they should only start the new extra innings rule if the game goes to the 12th. Give them the 10th and 11th inning to still play normal and if after that it's tied, go to this format.

[Coach]

Interested in hearing why O'Hearn in major league baseball?

I’m more interested in hearing why the Royals have a dog shit plate approach/plate discipline/situational hitting.

I’m also more interested in hearing why in the actual fuck is Ryan O’Fucking Hearn is still on this roster.

I’m also more interested in hearing what in the actual fuck is wrong with Soler. I mean, Jesus Christ, the dude has more than twice strikeouts than he does on hits. That’s just dog shit.

[Prison Bitch]

ROH needs to be cut

Dyson is nothing more than a late inning def replacement

However: this lineup sucks anyway. 1 run 4 hits????
