I've tried not to be a hater, but Hudler just isn't gonna work. He and Ryan have zero chemistry together. Ryan stays silent as Rex just blah, blah, blah, etc. Would really help his cause if he'd just STFU a little bit.

Way too many "Did he just say that?" moments from Ryan.

yeah, Keanu Reeves is a lousy analyst

Belly grunts out the stand up double.

Grunt with a double

Is Hosmer bad now too? C'mon man

belly doin his job in the clean up spot....nothing to clean

Hosmer will be fine because he still shows patience at the plate. Can't say the same for Alice, he just looks lost on almost every at bat.

Yea, seems like we are getting guys on base with 2 outs a lot. Can't even manufacturer a run with small ball.

how anyone can say Rex is better than Frank is ****ing beyond me

Good battle right here.

2012 Kansas City Royals : LEFT ON BASE

****ing Christ....why do we do this to ourselves. We really need this game!

Alright, let's start taking guesses at whose error is going to lose this game for us.

Hudler....I'm gonna say...Jermaine Dye ROFL

Let's score a run or two and put this bitch away

We can hit Dotel......I know it!

It would be nice. He wasn't great for us.

war pena

Get one ****ing hit here......

they sell Pena jerseys? LOL

Oh come on now..........all Glass and Dayton Moore's moves are money!!

Makes wanting to know exactly how it all went down even more intriguing and you have to wonder why the **** Dayton Moore is concerning himself with the TV broadcast?? Guy with a retired number and statue in the OF and they just can't make it work out?? I just don't get it. We've got Rex ****in Hudler instead of Frank over personal bullshit............just sad.

The hell? Pena actually looked kind of fast!

COOL, JUST THROW IT AWAY

Nope just the usual....another LOB

fock a low cal beer, Royals make me want to chug whisky

We should pull Chen if anyone gets on.

You would hope so, which means Yost will keep him in.

Poetic how our pitching is doing good and now we can't score for shit.

Chen is elevating the ball, get him out before someone jacks one to win this one.

Technically, the whiskey is more calorie efficient for getting boozed than "low calorie" beer is anyway.

Just got home. Was listening on the radio. WTF is wrong with Hosmer? Does it look like he's trying to pull everything?

Nice job tonight Bruce

Bruce did a very nice job tonight. It's not easy to make it so far with only one run allowed against the Tigers lineup - let's hope that he can produce more outings like this one, and less like the ones that he and the other starters had the second time through with the big innings.

Swinging at pitches out of the zone again while trying to pull every pitch

thanks for the free 2 strikes

Welp, the beginning of the end of this game.

Holland reminds me of Appier the way he falls off the mound

Holland looking like he is ready to give up the game.

Royals baseball.

Ugh **** this entire franchise

OUT TIME!

Can't say we didn't have plenty of chances to score....

3-8? Anyone? Anyone?

fuckin' Holland.

ROFL, chen shouldve stayed on

When did Holland start sucking?

Looks like we got no arm in center damnit

Well, six in a row it is. I would like to see the statistic on how many runners the Royals have left on during this skid.

Sorry Chen.... this Holland guy is a 1 year wonder.

Holy ****. We find more ways to piss away games. I'm frustrated with this shit.

It's actually a violation of MLB rules for the Royals to get a good outing from both the starting pitching and bullpen in the same game.

Holland is just another turd in the Royals punchbowl.

"Our Time".....**** this shit. Par for the course for Kansas City sports teams. Promising predictions in the preseason lead to utter disappointment. What makes it even more disappointing is that the front office will not make any moves toward fixing shit during the season. I'm preaching to the choir here, believe me I now, but geez...so damn frustrating.

Does tim collins remind anybody of the bucaneers mascott?

Nope, we must wait on the process to develop pitchers. By then of course Hosmer and Co. will be long gone.

that made me LOL

Well...

Hell I don't even know what to say at this point

More like Yosemite Sam

"We suck" would be to complimentary.

Out of it by June again....sweet!

Just checked the Gamecast.

Are we ever going to be good? Seriously, this sucks.

We really needed 2 of Cain, Gio, and Perez to hit this year.

COLLINS GETS SHIT DONE

back to back to back homers coming here???

"Our time" for the same old shit............God I hate being a fan of this team!!

All right Royals. Your due

Hos and Francouer both owe us something

Yes, due for another loss. We got that.

Deniro working a TV add for TWC? Never thought I would see that

Tried to kill it again....come on Hos...let's just go for contact right now.

Hosmer :sad:

Swinging for the fences when we need some base runners.

JFC...0-4. Time to move him to 4th spot in the lineup or maybe even farther back.

So...Hosmer looks really bad right now. I can't remember the last time he put a good swing on a ball.

I'm quickly losing confidence in Hosmer. He has all the makings of a very talented hitter, but the best hitters don't go on cold streaks this long.

Outside of Billy who is better?

2011???

Cabrera was 0 for 22. Good hitters will come around. Can't move him especially with all the other shuffling of the lineup. He just needs to change his approach and stop trying to hit a three run homer with no one on.
