damn it..he shot his wad on a foul ball

Damn, he hit that a long way.

That would be epic.

According to the rules, the official scorekeeper can award the win to the pitcher of his choice...at least that's what I think? You probably know this...what is the rule?

and buck with his routine flyout

C'mon Royals...It's DJ Friggin Carrasco.

Where's Ken Harvey when you need him?

And here comes Avilles with his usual weak ground out

ok Aviles, I expect you to stop disappointing me right now.

Buck Buck Bo Buck, Banana Fanna Fo...you know the rest.

I've heard word that if one accrues enough neg rep, a fat bitch will magically appear from your monitor and force you to lick her pearl.

Clearly, he was trying to expedite your encounter.

not in this situation. He is mandated to give Wright the win because he will have been the only pitcher of record with the unsurrendered lead. You only get a choice if more than one relief pitcher pitched after you took the lead for the final time.

It usually goes to the first reliever in that situation unless he was spectacularly bad.

Aviles is not the same player this year.

gosh!!

Way to drive the ball Avilles......

Come on Aviles, Mike Dorn that one..it was barely going the speed limit. See, now you pop out, weakly!

Good assessment.

Aviles has been incredibly disappointing thus far...

**** we have a hole in our lineup if we go to the 11th.

this game has officially been going for four hours

You know we're in some trouble when we're just begging for the walk-off homer...C'mon Coco, put it out!

Hillamn deserves to lose this game....the players deserve to win. Especially after being ****ed by a call at the plate

ROFL

Well atleast Coco knows what a good at bat is

Crisp, why you make me have to love you so much?

Coco has impressed me a ton this year. You have to like that trade so far.

ok DDJ....do something you no fielding chump

He was a FA, no?

unless Carrasco has a terrific move, a steal attempt is almost mandatory here

You know DeJesus is going to try to pull the ball because LF has scared him all night.

Can Callaspo play shortstop full-time? Then when Gordon returns we're set.

No.

Traded Ramirez.

Coco's walks are insane...he has never done this in his career...it's incredible.

Good time for the steal.

OK. I learned something today.

Go COCO!

obvious steal situation here

Isn't baseball ****ing awesome?

Like to see that again.

Yes! :D

I think I was watching a game where a starter had to leave after 4 innings due to injury, but had the lead...and one of the announcers said the official scorekeeper could give him the win even though he didn't pitch 5 innings...is there something in the rule book for that?

Say a guy guys 4 scoreless to start the game...and his team ends up winning 2-0 or something...(and they were winning when he was taken out)...is the scorekeeper mandated to give the W to the pitcher who pitched the 5th inning?

600 posts in a game thread in early May. Cool.

Thanks!

Come on DDJ..a liner in the gap is all we need

Great situation for the Royals...

A bloop single if Coco is running. Which he will be here.

to the mother ****ing 11th. ****. Im tired.

welp he worked him atleast

Yuck.

3-4-5 in the 11th. Sounds great, huh?

God damn I swear DDJ you ****ing suck you no hiotting no fielding gum chewing waste of space!

I'm watching the rest of this one in the bedroom. Good night guys and GO ROYALS!

OK, its like this.

Starter leaves with 2 outs, reliever comes in, totally sucks ass gives up runs but gets the 3rd out. They take the lead. 2 or 3 relievers come in after that to finish without giving up the lead. Scorekeeper's call.

In this case it (would have been) Wright and only wright, the other pitchers are not eligible because we did not have the lead. You MUST have the lead that isnt later given up before being taken out to even be qualified for a win.

0-6 nice game duh jesus

The problem there with not having CoCo steal is the lack of pressure on the pitcher. You put a guy on 2nd and now all the sudden he has to worry about a lot more shit.

At least he's been solid in the field. Wait...

KEEP ****ING DOUBTING WILLIE BLOOMQUIST

Gallop back out to left...

11th inning

Bottom 11th

Lance Broadway relieves Carrasco

Teahen strikes out (swinging)

Bloomquist singles to right, Maier to third
Bloomquist to second on defensive indifference
Jacobs lines out to third
Callaspo intentionally walked

3 Royals killers

Nice start.

so true

Sit Down

Cruz looking like Cruz. /Herm/

aight lets cruz to a victory, you guys get it

and of course we get to look forward to Teahen, Guillen and Butler....oh wait I mean Teahen, Bloomy and Maier :thumb:

to quote coco, "whew."

I love long extra inning games because the announcers completely run out of stuff to talk about, and just talk out of their ass.

Greinke hits for Maier. C'mon Trey....that'd be fun. Please???

pretty efficient so far, Cruz can go a while. White Sox have Jenks, but not much after that.

He'd prolly get beaned

Wow....

****ing 2 out walks.

I'm not a big fan of AJ's...that is all.

This game is loooooong.

Cruz making that mantis look stupid.

94 MPH!

Slider and sit his ass down.

Go to it again.

There it is ..the 0-2 pitch that isn't even close

:D He does look like a mantis

stop that shit damn it!
