BB coming up big when we need him most

Absolutely. Neither one of them is great defensively and while Kottaras is pretty good at drawing walks, there is nothing else he does well. Walks only drive in runs if the bases are loaded.

Well then answer this smart guy - Billy Butler has an OPS of .811. Everybody else on his team has a lower OPS, including many much lower. Who has to best OPS on the team?

That's cause the season is over. And so is the game.

So would rather have a guy who goes 1-4 with a solo home run or a guy who draws four walks.

LOL, Miggy is so damn slow he made a sliding catch on a can of corn.

Ummm...Billy's fat!

So this is how you blow a season.....you give 0 effort.

We need a spark plug in this lineup.

It looks like someone gave the Royals valium so they wouldn't be nervous and press.

Billy Butler, by the way, is not in the top 13 in the league in double plays. Even though he is fat.

These losers are, though. Look at all these pieces of shit:

Matt Holliday
David Freese
Martin Prado
Albert Pujols
Prince Fielder
Kendrys Morales
Michael Young
Edwin Encarnacion
Victor Martinez
Robinson Cano
Paul Goldschmidt
Adeiny Hechavarria
Dustin Pedroia

I figured the Royals would be lucky to win more than two over this series.

There's always next year... Without Santana and still missing production from RF, 2B, 3B, SS....

Because he strikes out more with RISP

Looks like Detroit found the goose that laid the most eggs tonight.

I didn't realize Benoit has been pitching so well.

2 more to go

Are we going with the theory of clutch hitting?

Because I don't really buy that shit.

Getz keeps swinging like this we don't need another 2nd baseman.

Nobody n this offense that scares people. A collection of slap hitters.

This

Anyone interested in tickets to next Wednesday's game against the White Sox?

I have 4 Dugout Box seats in Row H right off the plate, and a parking pass. Will sell pretty cheap.

Yanks signed Mark Reynolds

Billy 2013 batting average stats:

Bases empty .269

RISP .337

RISP with 2 outs .390

Look pretty "clutch" to me.

So because he isn't successful about 7/10 time, you tards think he can't hit because you only remember his failures.

Even though he has like the third highest average in the league with RISP.

DON'T YOU POINT YOUR FINGER AT ME. I WAS JUST MAKING SHIT UP DAMMIT

Also fat.

But...he's fat!

Stop using logic!!!!!

Hosmer 2013 batting average stats:

Bases empty .300

RISP .253

RISP with 2 outs .217


Hosmer...not clutch then? Oh and the theory of clutch is pretty ****ing stupid.

Unlucky.

Our offense has The AIDS again

Looks like I made a wise decision to take a break from baseball today.

Never in it after the first. Shit

**** Detroit

Helluva run, fellas.

Have we checked his fat?

OK, we lost this one.

Stranger things have happened, but " IF " we win the next 4 games, all the naysayers will be back onboard.

I said I would be happy if we win 3 of the 5, this is still possible.

Detroit is not a good daytime ball club, but we do face Verlander in the day game, a tall order, but we can win it.

Sweep tomorrow and then get at least one of the next 2. So many things can happen in a season of 162 games.

We back on track.

Escobar is fat.

Does anyone actually watch these mutts live? Even when we were winning I would DVr the game so I could FF most of our pitiful at bats. We have a AAA lineup

PHM

The problem with Butler is his slugging pct. is down. He's not hitting for as many doubles and HRs as previous seasons. He still hits, but it's for a lot of singles. But he's not a fast guy obviously, so he's just a big guy with no power and clogs the bases. We need him to drive in runs, not just get on base with singles.

Omaha thinks are whole team is....

too fat!/

I agree. He doesn't hit as many homers as he should and his doubles are down for sure this year. It isn't the Billy type year we needed but he is far from a problem in our hitting lineup.

And the clutch argument is the dumbest argument ever.

#Royals now 0-7 when Chris Getz leads off. Search for "Giavotella" and "leadoff" returned NULL.

I'm starting to wonder if Butler is hurt, like a clogged artery or the beetus or something.

Hes a fat unathletic pos that Dayton signed to a long term deal. Dude is a fatass. Any sensible fan should be ashamed to have Billay fatass as your mascot. There is a reason he singed that contract.

KC Royals are doing it wrong.

Nobody here even knows who you are.

You're point is???

The last time Ned Yost managed a "contending" team he got fired after a double-header. Just saying.

Nobody gives a **** what you think.

Or what you think sport.

How does my ass taste??

A Missouri MLB team just promoted their undersized .300 hitting second base prospect. No not the team starting Chris Getz. The other one.

Whats your argument? Hes a fat unathletic POS. Making 8K.

If this series were in Detroit, I think the Royals would be more focused.

Damn it I shouldn't have deleted that.

$8,000 is pretty cheap! Think you meant $8 million. K after a # means thousand....dumbass :facepalm:

Glad i missed this and had other plans.

Seems like the ship is sinking. Hope they somehow pull off a doubleheader sweep tomorrow.

Who am I kidding....this lineup is a joke right now

Ya cuz he never hits home runs or anything else. Kottaras is one of the best back up catchers in the MLB offensively, and Pena sucks at defense too.

i think i missed the joke

He has one more home run than pena. That category is pretty much a wash. They both suck on defense btw.

Well this ain't lookin' pretty.

There was some confusion in a previous gameday thread over where this series was being played, if I recall correctly.
