Fat POS who's getting paid 8m

So what's your solution about the second base position..

This would be a fine time for a no-doubt bomb by Maxwell.

oh **** yeah it would be

Verlander, haha

Prediction: One of the storylines when Justin Verlander's career is over will be the question - "How much did Jim Leland shorten Verlander's career by having him continually throw 120+ pitches/start?"

So is Crow coming in next.

Platoon him and Colon

think we'll see Moose in the 9th?

Doubt it.

uh oh

What the ****

Ramon Santiago?

Seriously?

Damn.

R u shitting me?!

Not Timmy

Aaron "Money Shot" Crow

:banghead:

Here we go again...DAMN!

Going to have to face Miggy and Prince again

Cabrera might have a shot at Crow. FUUUUUU

Holland might have to

Holland to face the meat of the order. Strength against strength.

Holland to face the Miggy, Prince, and V Mart. I don't have a good feeling about this.

Insurance please!

I don't know how in the world you give up a HR to Santiago of all people there

Best-case scenario at 2B: Christian Colon has "figured it out" at Omaha this year, closes the year strong there and makes the Opening Day lineup out of ST and provides a .750 OPS-type season.

This allows them to hold Bonifacio and use him as the utility guy (MAJOR upgrade from Johnson/Getz).

Medium-case scenario: Bonifacio is the everyday 2B and provides a .700-.750 OPS with 30-40 SB.

Worst-case scenario: Bonifacio sucks, Colon continues to be a bust, and we get stuck with Getzie again.

Also... Crow got drilled all inning. Very fortunate to get out of that without them tying it up.

Yes this is a good progression from "yay" to :shotmeinthehead:

Al Alburquerque

Love that name. I hope Salvy drills one over the CF fence

OK. Time to see if Holland can do what Mo Rivera could not...keep Cabrera in the park. Shut em down!

AlShitty Escobar with another 0-4 barfbag

Locating my diffribulator

1 big out

Wow

Nice Holland...two more!

Atomic slider

It would be OK with me if you just struck all three of them out here, Holland

You absolutely have to have a player to hate on. It's been a different one every month it seems.

Nerve-wracking

shit. walks.......

OK, how about rolling up a DP?

BIG save

ROYALS WIN!!!!

GAME!!!!

WOOOOOOOT!!!!

HUGE WIN!

Haha YES!

Awesome.

:clap:

Holland is such a ****ing bauce

**** YEA GOOD CALL!!!!!

Nice!!!!

Let's get #2 tonight!!!

Great win.

But we better start scoring more than 2 runs.

Waiting for Shields to get blown up in the nightcap.

I'm on a 4 game winning streak with Game Threads. Nightcap stays here.

Refractory Period starts now. Let's do it again tonight.

*fist bumps all around*

BOOM

so.... if we win 4/5 from the tigers, are we back in it?

Sweet Jesus... we aren't completely out of it yet! There is hope!

**** to the yes.

Yes.

"Hello, Win Column!"

Royals are a very slight favorite in the nightcap at -109 on the money line

Hell yes we're still in this thing. I love that everyone in the rest of baseball (and some in here) are like "Oh, same old Royals." F that.

We're going to win tonight, and just for shits and giggles, let's just run the table.

This. I want to see Moose, and no Getz in the leadoff spot.

Technically we could lose 17-18 more games and give it a run, but it never hurts to beat your division leader.

The KC fanbase is just beaten down.

True. AlShitty's giving me quite a bit of material to work with this year, no?

first Duffy start: I was all like

Second Duffy start: I'm all like

Here's the real question ned needs to be asked. Did Duffy just pitch his way into the rotation?

I want to see Getz in Omaha.

I think all baseball fans default to this:

Hell yeah--that would be picking up 3 games on them.

Probably not this year but definently next. He needs to work on his command.

Lough will play next game. Maxwell will be leaving.

We're now 1-7 with Getz leading off.

Just for S&G...

Since becoming the Royals closer on July 31 last year, Greg Holland's numbers:

75 1/3 IP
111 K (13.32 K/9)
1.67 ERA
1.02 WHIP
49/53 save opportunities
OBA: .184

Jim Johnson in the same time span has blown nine saves while getting crushed in every statistical measure.

But he's elite. Totally.

haha

Is Davies gets his meat and carrots handed to him against the Tiggers, could Duffy potentially finish the year in the rotation?

I hope so. Davies...........It's like watching Kyle Davis all over again.:D

His spot for next year is assured, obv. Now if you're referring to this year he does have an innings count because of his arm history, almost guaranteed.

I understand that this game was played in Detroit. Any word on where tonight's game will be played?

Dubuque, Iowa.
