Great. Listening to the game I hear the stupid unmistakable sounds of a crowd doing the wave. Over and over again, never getting tired of it.

3rd inning in triple-A, Kila is having a typical game for him so far. no official at-bats, 2 walks, 1 run scored.

game over in Advanced A and AA. Hosmer didn't do well, Mike and Mike did OK.

SINGLES MACHIEN!111111111

Butler can't score from second, of course.

not certain, but I think all runs in this inning will still be earned. Even though catcher's interference is an error, I dont think it is a presumed out.

AVILESSSsssssss

Royals tie the game!

PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ

Aviles drives in two!

Ring that ****ing bell.

they called that a swing???? WTF?

any ideas on this before we hear from the scorer? Is it just a 1-base error to Guillen like I'm thinking (so still all earned given the hits later) or do we presume Guillen should be an out?

Yuni!

**** YES BETANCOURT WTF

Yuni!

YUNI!!!!

That was a great bare hand by the LF.

Why the hell didn't they pull the pitcher earlier?

(not that I'm complaining)

We've got our future 2nd baseman in Colon/Dayton

PBJ PBJ

The funny thing about betancourts double is he thought it was a granny and posed for a second

STFU!!!!

LMAO

PBJ everything is finding a hole

All the royals players can do is high five betancourt since he hasnt learned the ****ing language

I fully expect Kendall fail

All 7 runs (so far) were scored with no men on, 2 outs. Without that interference, we probably are still losing by 3 runs.

.

well kendall sucks

Kendall gave up the 2nd and 3rd outs of that inning.

al, from now on you need to include Blaine Hardy in the futures or minor league players to watch. He's doing it again in Omaha after being promoted in late May.

IP 11 K's 10 BB 1 ER 0.

Found it, Guillen's run is unearned, but everyone after him is still earned. A very obscure scoring rule applies to this game. This is the only situation I know of where a batter-runner reaching on an error can later score an unearned run with 2 outs, but it has no impact on determining if other runs are unearned.

I guess that means if there was 1 out, everything would have been earned? Weird.

thought about it when I saw his ERA earlier today, but when I looked up his minor league career I saw he blew up just this year with limited IP. Figured I'd wait.

Oh, and holy crap Gordon and Kila are walk machines. 3 walks each so far in the 5th inning.

Butler Doubles and the astros player is his bitch by taking his leg gear for him lol

ROFL

Your NL Royals folks

batting practice

Davies should hang his head in shame. This could have been the easiest win of his career.

batting practice.

Davies owes our offense a huge blow job

We are using up all of Greinke's run support for the next 4 games.

batting practicee

Wow Davies is kicking his own ass

5th inning in AAA:

0 hits in 0 at-bats, 1 run scored, 4 walks.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Kila Ka'aihue.

Oh, and Gordon has 3 walks, too

You know, I saw that but convinced myself it had to be the ball boy. I don't remember having seen that before.

huh, Marte is still pitching. Only 17 pitches thrown so far. They might let him go for a 4-inning save.

It has to be jeff keppinger, they had an astros coach on 'former royal coach forgot his name' saying 'he does everything'

No shit, WTF is Pena not in the game now? Sending Kendall's 0-5 ass to the plate in a 15-7 game. STUPID!

Kendy's not happy unless he's playing. /Hillman

well, well, well, it only took 6 AB's for Kendall to get a hit

So Kendall is what now, 2 for his last 32 AB's???

Someone better get the wax out of their ears.


Good win. Good comeback. Davies got bailed out.

Betanclutch

Moose hits the go ahead HR #15 for the lead in the 9th

Excellent. I ****ing hate Houston.

oh, I didn't even notice the Naturals had a double-header today.

Yep...good thing for the HR....what a night by kila and alex 7 walks between them

...and we give it right back and then some by walking home the lead run.

I doubt Mike gets another at-bat in the 9th. I won't bother staying up to watch just to update his line.

edit: wait a sec, they are calling this game over in the 8th inning? What, do they have a midnight curfew or something?

Man, this seems like a different Royals team under Yost. When they went down 6-3 I thought we were done for. Hillman's Royals would have just crumbled.

wtf is that crap btw-heard we have 9 all stars from that team

They have respect for their manager, that is a big key. i like Yost so far, except that he bats kendall 2nd and plays him a ton.

20 hits tonight, 16 of those were singles.

Somewhere, perhaps inside a barn within a rustic setting, Trey Hillman is lubing up his palm.

I think managers are quite a bit overrated, but even with that caveat, I disagree with very little of what Yost is doing other than his obsession with Kendall. (or is it the organization? What kind of blackmail photos does he have of DM?)

This team will still lose until the minor league talent comes up in a couple years, but its still nice to not have an idiot manager.

It is crazy how much difference a decent MLB manager actually makes. I don't blame Yost too much for Kendall, he doesn't have a whole lot to work with right now. I don't expect them to compete yet, but at least they are enjoyable to watch most nights.

We are a pretty weak ass team, LMAO

It's good to see they won, its hard to score runs on a ton of singles

Agreed...

throw in 4 walks and 3 errors and anything is possible. Also a couple very rare calls: a batter's interference and a catcher's interference, both breaking our way.

Also 1 passed ball, 4 or 5 wild pitches (including back-to-back to score billy butler of all people from second), all of them in our favor

I actually started playing my MLB10:The Show franchise... apparently I can't fire Hillman. :doh!:

Man, that guy loves to walk.
