Which makes you wonder even more why the ****head laid down a bunt with 2 outs???

yea that game was bullshit

IIRC, especially since he just had a clutch RBI in the previous inning to tie the game.

I don't get to watch too many games up here, but I think of at least a half dozen games where Yost's stupid decisions were the difference between winning and losing.

Last night, down by two, man on first and you "hit and run" into a double play prior to Hosmer coming to bat? Brilliant, no real threat to score after that.
I know us fans have 20/50 or 50/20 hindsight, but why was he just not outright stealing second? It was at Royals stadium, without a sandpit around first base.

You're complaining about Butler lining out? Seriously?

Players don't get an average much higher than .300 for a reason. :shake:

You know how much I could care less about avg? Not much. Batting Avg. is the most overrated stat in baseball.

Way to address calling Butler out for squaring up a baseball and smashing it right at someone. Sometimes, you just have to hand it to bad luck. Getz is at fault, Crow/Yost is at fault, Butler isn't.

I'll tell you what Butler has been real good at doing this year:

1. hitting the ball to the SS
2. hitting the ball to the SS for a DP
3. hitting a HR in the 8th inning when we are already up 4-2

Butler is so. He put a swing on that ball not to lift it to the OF. He pulled the ball down the 3rd baseline instead of doing what he does best and waiting on it to take it to right-center.

What is the % chance of a run scoring when the leadoff man is walked?

I'm complaining about Butler not being in the top 20 AL leaders in HR's,Sac Flies,RBI's or hits but BEING TIED FOR 1ST IN HITTING INTO DOUBLE PLAYS.

HE'S WAY ****ING OVERATED!

37.98% as of 2010

Squaring up and smashing? What selective memory you Billy-lovers have.

An inside of the bat jam shot that floats to Cabrera is not a jam shot, FYI. You'll notice in the video, the announcer (who was at the park) calls it a "soft line drive"

For the record, I don't feel like Billy is part of the problem. But he's also not part of the solution. His production this year has been shit, especially for a one-dimensional player. He does us no good if he's not driving the ball for doubles and HR's. So maybe it's just a "down" year, but at age 27, production starts to decline. So that's not a good sign at all.

When you know a Sac Fly is the least you have to get done, you don't go to the plate looking to pull the ball on a rope. We all know Billy's best swing is when he takes the ball o the opposite field. He has been trying to pull the ball all ****ing year which is why he is nothing more than a stat-padder for SS's at the moment.

vs. a 9% chance that Cabera hits a HR or 36% chance that he even gets a hit.
