Darn

you know Young is going to give up bombs ...

It's what happens when you go down in the count so ****ing much.

Gordo catches that.

I think Gordo could have got that. Dyson's too ****ing short.

Well when you are consistently going 3-0 to hitters...yeah

And that's why Hosmer choking not once but twice is biting our ass at the moment

The Sox are gaming!

Let's not start referring to failing to get a hit with a runner on 2B as "choking."

If the runners were on third and he failed to get either home, then maybe you can gripe about it. But when you're talking about guys who don't score unless you get a hit... pretty silly and short-fused to complain about going 0-2 in a spot like that.

Young really having some problems today...too many ****ing walks

It's Pete.

and now an error...:facepalm:

This.

Butera, know your role, buddy.

The deserve a run here. Hope they don't.

When you strike out and pop up on the infield in that situation I am calling it a choke..be different if he hit it hard at someone or something

whew..way to pitch out of it....let's get some runs now

Hard to call anything a choke when .333 is pretty damned good overall. Clutch? No.

Young battles back to get out of the inning.

Melky needs to get back on them PEDs.

meh, fair enough ....

I think "lack of execution" is a better, more accurate way of putting it.

Way to bounce back there, CY.

call it what you will, it all ends up with the same result

What's disappointing is he struck out on a shoulder high pitch on his first ab. Took a pitch that literally hit the center of the pitch trax, and popped out on the next pitch his 2nd ab. I don't know about choking, but it was 2 shit abs.

Both teams have missed opportunities so far.
It's almost like we're watching a baseball game.

damn rios...you slow ****....please can we just put Orland and Dyson in?

Lazy ass Rios.

Really? And here I thought I was watching golf.

For Rios being a 20/20 guy at one point, he sure is slow.

Rios always stole bases because he's quick, not fast. It's all about how you read the move and react. Rios was never a speed demon, but don't take this as me excusing Rios ... I ****ing hate him

Lucky LaRoche didn't get under that a little. It was a meatball down the middle.

where was that one?

gee look at that, another ****ing walk......

Well I am glad I am not the only one who has ever taken a bite out of the bottom of a plastic water bottle. Welcome to the club, Gordo.

young will do good to get through 5....not sure I'd pitch him after that anyway with the way he is throwing today

Fortunately, we are facing one of the worst offenses in baseball.

laboring is how i would describe Young's outing today.....effective but laboring

I hope the Royals have figured out that he's trying to strike everyone out with high fastballs..

Moose needs to figure it out.

Moose just up there hacking...swinging at pitches no where near the zone

Holy shit. How do people do read these threads with Pete menstruating all over the place.

He has swung at balls 2,3,4,5 &6 and now 7

Moose seeing a ton of pitches today

And goes yard!...

LMAO guess it was all part of the plan

Great ab by Moose, forced him to make that mistake.

Someone tell me again how Moose needs to get it together?

That was just a beautiful AB. Love seeing him take one to center, too.

Decent AB by Moustakas.

Moose had never had an at bat that good before this year in his entire career.

Uh, the outcome was great but you can't call that a beautiful AB. He swung at 7 pitches out of the zone and managed to foul them off. Tough AB, battled but typically not what you'd want I suspect

Why did Cain get out? I'm confused.

way to hold them down, Chris.....

For his $11 million salary, I would have thought we could get a much better outfielder and cement the "best OF in baseball" label.

Nice

Love the aggressiveness

You can always count on at least 1-2 bombs per start.

Hosmer didn't get much of a read on that.....or he scores easy

A flyball pitcher pitching in a hitters park on a 99 degree summer day. Not surprising.

Okay, Omar....man on 3rd, 0 outs...do something good

well. I'll take the run but that was the least desirable way.....3-2

Oh shit!

Is that "desirable" enough for you, Pete?

Rios vs. Samardizjjaaa - 2 home runs
Rios vs. everyone else on Earth - 0 home runs

hell just froze over

would have been nice had we had a runner on, yes? :thumb:

Rios the blind squirrel found a nut! Good for him!

The White Sox are saying the same thing, I bet. Had how many free baserunners and only managed 2 solo shots. I'll take it.

His first one was against Kyle Drabek. I checked it.

We need Scott Downs back

goooooooooo royals!!!! rios is back!!!!!!! (I can't believe I typed that)

I like it, Ned.
2 run lead with Madson, Herrera, Davis, Holland

Ned managing like it's the playoffs

maybe that will help Rios figure things out

it surely would be nice

(though, I hope eventually Ned starts going the 'defensive replacement route' and starts taking his atrocious defense out a la Aoki later in the year)

Dangit, man. Don't thwart my theories.

JFC Madsen.

Well this isn't good

****..we go up 1 they tie, we go up 1 again they tie, we go up 2 and they are about to tie

come one man, let's get out of this shit

That's a big oot

Lefebre you fool, pretty much everyone who watches baseball has seen For Love of the Game.
