Yost on Duffy: "The rest of our starters are doing pretty well, too. We’ve got two weeks until…the rosters expand…"

More Yost on Duffy: "We’ll let him go down and get another start or two and then come back up."

Yost says Herrera, Crow and Holland all available for second game, if necessary, despite pitching in first game.

Good Lord. Maxwell can't even stay through this next game? It's a left-handed pitcher, the reason we acquired him for the stretch run, for God's sake. This is a playoff game as far as we're concerned. Grandma died two weeks ago. The other 59 grandkids can STFU while the most important grandchild does his job.

Because I'd like Gordon, Lough, and Maxwell to be our OF for the next game, not Gordon-Dyson-Lough against a lefty.

Tropicana Field, they're trying to find a way to boost attendance for the establishment.

If that's the case, I'm bringing EJ back for one game.

Nah. Nevermind.

This post is gold.

Game 2 lineup
Carrol 3B
Hosmer 1B
Butler DH
Gordon LF
Salvy C
Lough RF
Bonifacio CF
Escobar SS
Getz 2B

BIG GAME JAMES TIME

I don't like Carrol leading off, but I guess it could be worse. Moose & Cain being gone is horrible for this lineup.

Is it a unwritten rule that you now have to have a OBP of sub .300 to leadoff for the Royals? WTF!

Getz, carrol, escobar, bonifacio all in the same lineup.

We won't score more than 4.

Denny and Ryan were classic on the radio when Iglesias got nailed.

Ryan: "It looks like Kottaras is appealing this, saying that he offered at the pitch before the ball may have....oh ok. Replay helps us see things that you don't see live...let's just say he got hit somewhere between the kneecap and the belly button...you can figure that out."

Denny said something good, but I forget it now...

And then Ryan goes..."So Iglesias, who is now a soprano, leads off from first."

I'm a big fan of the Fever. He's a damned good announcer.

And BTW, that will teach you to bunt again, bastard.

Now there's a report that the game will actually be played in Detroit, Michigan, which is very interesting considering that that is where the game was played earlier today.

I'll keep you posted.

4? I was thinking we'd light up the scoreboard if we scored 2 with this shit lineup.

Been watching them play all summer .. lots better team than quite afew years .. GO ROYALS ........

Why does Yost hate Maxwell? He does realize we need to score points, right? It can't all be about negligible upgrades in team defense.

Maxwell left after the first game. His grandma died over the weekend.

No way if you ask a few of the experts we have on here, after losing 2 in a row to the FISH and last night, we were clearly out of it. For them to think we have a chance we have to have a 5 game lead on any and all division rival with all of us only 3 to play.

Great win today boys, I was slammed all day at work and forgot about the game. Let win tonight and try to win again after that.

I mentioned in the game thread last night that the Tigers do not have a winning ptg in day games, even us facing Velander that we had a chance today.

:clap::clap::clap:

Keep it going boys.

She died two weeks ago. But NOW that we're in the fight for our effing lives, the family decides that they can all get together NOW.

I see no reason why they couldn't ship her corpse up to Detroit, do a quick service at one of those cheap $1 houses in Detroit, and get Maxwell back to Comerica to bat in precisely the kind of game he was acquired for.

:facepalm:

ROFL

We need to hit Cabrera early - send a message.

Points? GTFO

Just got home. ****ing shocked we won a low scoring game against the Tigers!

They should play it at the old Tiger Stadium... well, the field is still there.

HOSMER - Prince was holding him he should get 2. come on ump!

HOSMER! We're going to run wild vs Pena. Just kick the fricken sand out of the way.

Hooties back!

Alex is lost at the plate

Hope Shields can get a scoreless 1st.

Should he be hitting in the 3rd spot or leadoff?

shields off to his typical first inning start

Alvarez

Salvy!

PEREZ - HE GOT TO GO! The sand backfires!!!

Sal ****ing Perez

Should we send Holland down?

From his knees wow

alright time to hit Cabrera

One does not simply run on Sal Perez

THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HIT HIM. JFC

Jesus. Awful pitch. He was lucky there

No hitter gone

Yep, no more belt high fastballs to the best hitter in the game.
I think Sal wanted it a little bit higher, but Cabrera isn't missing that pitch, he's just too ****ing good.

wow we can't buy a break

Nice catch.

Bonifacio got robbed

Cool catch

Funny you mention that because I also seem to associate the 2 all the time!

dirtbag up

Mark Reynolds first AB as a Yankee is a home run

alright Shields that's enough free passes

Windsor, Canada ya freakin' hoser!!

Shields not looking ace like

Shields not fooling anyone right now

Now, that was a good pitch

Iglesias dick must be bothering him

Yost may be unaware of the need to score points, but I hope he is aware of the need to score RUNS.

Nice job Escobar

wow getz

Getz looks like a pitcher at the plate sometimes I swear

Can we not get dominated by this no name POS?

well time to steal if he can

BLASTED

HOLD MY DICK!!!

Eric ****ing hosmer!

Teh Hos

That was WAY fair Physioc you sack of shit

Holy ****.

Holy shit, Hos!?!? DAMN

Jamey Carroll created that HR!!!

Hosmer is turning into a man. Great swing.

Now THAT was a bomb.

Eric Bossmer.

SON OF GOD

BILLY! getting that pitch count up. If Gordon gets on it's our night

You can't root for him. He's too fat.
