5 innings, and he was up to 81 pitches and still building up his pitch count so it was a foregone conclusion that he was not going to be able to finish that game.

Moose got his pitch, just didn't square it up.

My 4 year old just said "outfante!!!"

Just checking in. I'm sure Young is going to lose his no hit bid now. I hate myself. :(

ned pushing it, imo

Are they still booing Mauer???

He just doesn't look as sharp to me.

Good, Ned's got plans in case he gives up a hit.

ned still hasn't learned to just let herrera start a clean inning

With a no-no going? Surely you jest?

You aren't taking Young out when he's throwing a no-no, given his current PC.

THERE'S ONE

It looks like the no hitter for Young is slipping away. The team no hitter could still happen though.

Young has a no-hitter through 6 with 79 pitches. He's not going to Herrera to start the 7th, no way

Sorry about that dude.

Damn. There it is.

how you like me now???

WELP, IT WAS FUN WHILE IT LASTED CY

Well crap

Doesn't prove anything. No manager is letting Herrera start that inning in that situation.

Shouldn't have started the 7th.

Doesn't mean you are correct. You realize Herrera could have given up the same hit right?

You don't take out a pitcher with 80 pitches, who is a veteran, pitching a no-no.

Rios misplayed that into a triple.

Please neg rep me into oblivion

They are able to sit on the fastball as his offspeed command is gone.

Great start by Young.

good job by young but i pitch herrera that inning

Hindsight post of the year.

It only looks bad because he got dinged with a triple. Shit hit too.

The rest of the team owes CY an apology.

That triple does not make you right. Its one regular season game out of 162, every other manager also lets him go for the no-no

LMAO

That's it. You're like the second person I've ever had to put on ignore.

No actual MLB manger would have, only the internet managers like yourself.

I just don't get how you can watch so much baseball and make a claim like this.

No shit. What was he thinking? It was either a HR or way up high on the wall.

Some people just take the fun out of the Royals threads.

cause i know how this team is

That was awful Rios.

Just awful.

This. Hard lesson that should have been learned in BP.

Nice job. One more out.

okay so you end up with the guy i said you should have started with...hope it isn't too late

ROFL

And you've been wrong "pulling" guys many times before.

ROFL

You only remember the times you get it "right." Which is a dumb term here since Herrera could have given up the same hit. You do realize that right?

ROFL

The game threads are hard to follow sometimes.

most certainly..or the ball bounced in an unexpected way

If he gives up a hit here would you have been wrong to have him start the inning?

Actually if Plouffe makes that kind of contact off of Herrera the ball is long gone.

The "live or die by each and every pitch of every game" motto gets old.

call it what you want..i can't prove kelvin wouldnt have done something he never got the chance to do but i did prove i was right that young would

Not ****ing cool at all

To be fair, a base hit is not a triple. I'm almost rooting for a HR....

He was too close to the wall. He could have played that & had a chance to throw him out at second.

or foul

HOSMER!!!!

You're right. I am always right when I get hindsight as well.

Nice!

defense bitches!

Wow.

OH BABY THAT DEFENSE

Esky and Hos showing the Gold.

Holy shit. Wow!

Esky and Hoz puttin in work

I love Esky, but forget him, what a pick!!!!

Esky saved Neds butt.

Woohoo oooooohhhh fuck yes

DAT WUT ALLSTARS DO

and dont you ever ****ing forget it

He doesn't need a hit if he plays D like that!

There's your all-star SS & 1st Baseman!

Brilliant moves from Ned that inning. Great job out of the pen. Great D. Nice job all-around.

Great job Esky, saved the inning!:)

Hoz has a ton of flair when he makes those pics. Kind of like Edmonds in center.

Royals voodoo defense > Twins voodoo magic

Uhhh, Hosmer made that play. Easily. He deserves the finger pointing and hat tipping.

Damn Hosmer, that looked great on slow mo replay too

Anybody who says Esky shouldn't start the ASG can get ****ed.

Just get a insurance run!

I woke my neighbor up on that one. Game-saving defensive play.

To nitpick. Esky has time to set himself and make a better throw that doesn't force Hos to make such a great play.

Mucho awesome there!
