Yeah, I love me some Escobar, I wear an Escobar jersey to games, but that was Hoz

Will Kelvin come back out? Hoch?

both made great plays

Not often the highlight of the game is a pick at first.

That was close....

He scoops it like that to make sure the ball doesn't pop out of his glove, not really for flair.

BTW, What Molitor has done to Duensing the past three innings is an excellent example of how to not handle a pitcher. He's gotten him hot 3 times now.

If he struggles, this is on molitor.

i wannasee that in slo mo..cain made that super close

100% this!

2nd

Yeah. There are maybe 5 SS in the major leagues who get to that play and have the arm strength and accuracy to get the guy at first.

And there are maybe 3-4 1B who handle that tricky scoop.

Why not Wade?

He's worked quite a bit, hasn't he?

Possibly not available due to pitching each of the last 2 days.
12 pitches each outing.

davis gonna go tonight?

Yeah, Wade might not be available. If thats the case, Kelvin should work a clean 8th

I'm thinking Hoch.

I'd rather that.

2-0 to a guy who throws balls and you dont take until you get a strike....

im not sending hoch out in a 1-0 game

Wow. A walk....

Oh well if he's up, then F it. Wade time.

Or 2-0 vs a guy with a mediocre fastball and you think maybe he's thrown you a cookie, so you take a HR swing. Turns out it is a changeup. Oh well.

alex missing on too many pitches he should crush

The official word from our favorite beat writer:

Alex sure is missing/fouling off too many of those pitches that are pretty much in the middle.

I assume he's definitely not available tomorrow.

Nice. A infield single.

Shift works to our advantage.

2 OUT RALLY BOYS

That will work.

Woot....

That'll work

I'll assume that your assumption is a correct assumption.

need some 2 out clutch here, rios

Anti mini shift hit for Alex.

wasn't really a shift..just had the 2nd baseman playing super deep

And if we get to Holland, that'd mean that Holland probably won't be available tomorrow either. He is in the same boat as Wade, pitched the last 2 days.

Assuming you are assuming what I am assuming and you are assuming that then we are assuming the same thing

Ass.

Come on Rios

Well, no something's got to give.

I know, we'll just win the damned game by 12 and have Hoch pitch the last 2 in a laugher.

When is the last time Rios had an RBI?

Can't really tell the difference between Rios or Orlando....

****.

he had one tonight except kendrys got shot at the plate

Orlando is faster and hits more triples. Also he has bigger ears, I think.

Sucks to burn through both of them when our starter does so well.

Talk It up more Rex geez

Royals hitters aren't staying inside the ball very well tonight. Way too many roll over grounders.

Sit down

Indeed. Offense had their chances to put this one away without needing to burn through our core bp guys.

LOL. That hitter reminded me of my 4-year-old preparing to throw a tantrum.

It'll be interesting to see if the 2015 stats show that Salvy's framing has improved or not

Nasty.

Or it could be possible that the strike zone is expanding again....

wtf ump???????

Bull shit

What the hell ump?

**** YOU!!!!!!!!!!

Too easy.

Nice!

He isn't fair

You wanna squeeze the Wader? HAH, he needs no ump.

got the ****er out twice in 1 ab

STOP ENABLING REX WITH THE "WADER" SHIT.

I'm tired of my puckered as**ole...need some insurance

Thanks!

wow!!!

ya he sux

And there you go

SalvaDONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That. Was. A. Rocket.

Holy shit.

Holy moly, Perez.

Douche.

We could call Holland "check please". Then, it would be, "Wader, check please".

And boom.

That went a LOOOOOONG way!

Bombdiggity

Yeah let's score 3 or 4 rest and Holland.

Oh wait, Infante is up.

Al Bundy where you at, brah?

Sweeeet!!!!
