Only problem: the bases are now cleared. Now the pitcher can relax without runners on o pressure him. Maybe a double would be better?

AND THERE WE GO!

Damn you for beating me to it

Gia hits a ton of fly balls huh?

DOGS AND CATS, LIVING TOGETHER

Now, I ****ing hate being at work!!

That inning made my special spot tingle.

Royals now tied for most Grand Slams in the majors this season.

I ****ing hate Guttierez

And of course we walk the lead-off batter.

Bullpen, other than Holland has been booty this series.

WTF bullpen? You were doing so well, and now you decide to blow the game?

booty mo precious than water mane

Well shit.

Crow is Mizzou trash.

Hey, Royals -- **** you on the Fourth!

Why does Ned treat Crow as some sort of fireman? He been giving up his inherited runners as if it were some sort of ritual.

1st round pick.

Our bullpen can't stop from sucking cock

I'll be shocked if they come back from this one.

Momentum lost....again.

Aaron crow again!


Just demote this pos already

The odds of losing yet another game when hitting a grand slam at home cannot be good.

I'd rather demote Colons. At least Crow seems to be able to get outs once he gifts the inherited runners.

If I said the royals would hit two grand slams in 2 games and we'd lose both you'd say I'm on crack

This guy singing needs to be shot. ASAP.

I hope nobody is listening to the radio broadcast.

I had to shut it off.

He sounded like he was in enough pain as it is.

Just shoot the guy. Put him down for good.

Big Dickscobar.

Holy shit....

Get the **** out of here!

What an epic game

ERIC HOSMER #@UY$OIU#YHRKHEJBFEB SN BLASHSHSHEBHEMAH

WTF is going on here?

Boooooom

This game is awesome.

Hosmer is just a mother-freaking beast right now.

Hosmer does it again!!!

He is finally becoming a beast.

Yeah, I think Hosmer is "fixed"

Word.

Can our bully get them out?

****ing awesome. Wonder which reliever is going to give it up next?

And did Hosmer gesture like he was smoking?

Can Holland pitch every inning, every game?

7th pitch seems to be a winner

Moose needs to start hanging dong like his buddy

What a lucky stab.

Can we throw Holland back-to-back innings?

Might be our only chance -- as sad as that is.

And yes; I'm joking.

ROFL

Awesome!

Now hold the damned tie. Seriously. Let's win this thing.

"Pilot to bombardier, we've got a sauce launch."

No one use this line later tonight.

Royals offense: six walks, three homers. Who are these guys?

Hope hos came into the dugout and knocked out Crow with a right cross

Luke with nobody on.

No pressure, right?!

Hoch in the 8th and I'm totally good with it? Strange...

Low-leverage Luke graduates

I'm okay with this.

Can't be any worse than the puds who have been pitching recently.

God, I'm actually....*gulp*....glad to see Hoch?

Stolen from Royals Review:

From June 4th, 2012 to June 12th, 2013, a span of 163 games and 629 PAs, Hosmer hit 7 home runs. Now he’s got 8 in his last 19 games and 85 PA.

Oh Lough!

Hoch is like the LT that we drafted at #1 overall and moved to guard.

Safe pick!

And he's hitting bombs too.

That's pretty neat.

Hoch has the hot hand, gotta use it. This move I agree with Ned, shockingly.

Right now he is the second best arm out of the bullpen.

Well, at least to a degree, it wasn't a massive waste/bust.

COME ON BLUE! Call that a ****ing strike!

If the Royals don't score in the 8th, I bet Ned uses Holland in the 9th, and this will be a mistake.

Oh, that 3-1 pitch was just Nasty.

Atta baby, Luke.

Let's go win ourselves a damn ballgame and series!

SIT YOUR ****ING ASS DOWN!

Great pitching Luke!

Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuke

Agreed. Luke has been dealing like a boss, keep him going as long as he can.

Leave in Hoch( can't believe I said that) until we get the lead.

:clap:

This feels like the biggest game of the year to me.

I've defended Hochevar so many times on this forum that it's nice to see him offer some positive results.

If KC didn't get the lead, and Yost is going to make the change, I really really really hope Hochevar tells Ned to **** off and goes back to the mound.

Normally I would say it's not, because it's no longer a save situation you're saving him for. But do you mean stay with the hot Hoch and give him one more inning? If so, I'm OK with that.

Let's play a little small ball this inning, gents.

Yep. Stay with Hoch, at least for one more inning.

7 Runs on 5 hits? Insane....

Are these guys serious? We find out now.

Get on. Pinch run. Profit.

Maybe someone could get a bunt down.

Please, please, please.
