Good to see Mondesi back in there today. I didn’t have time to read up on it yesterday, but why was he out yesterday? Just precautionary? Easing him back in to regular action??

Yes.

Gutierrez batting 5th LOLOLOL

This morning's rain should make it nice and steamy out there today...

Perez batting 3 and Mondesi batting cleanup. How long will it take for us to get a manager that has a ****ing clue about baseball?

Yeah

I'm more concerned with the fact that the four guys after them are worthless than the order in which Mondesi and Perez hit.

This.

Our lineup is garbage outside of the Top 4. Hopefully Mondi keeps it going so we can at least give them a game today.

Beni near the top of this lineup would make it look so much stronger right now. *sigh*

Lol really protecting Mondesi there. I wouldn't throw Mondesi a single hittable ball because after him that lineup just turns to complete trash. I'd walk bases loaded instead of pitching to Mondesi because there is a high likelyhood the next three will ground out or strike out.

Gutierrez

****ing POS at 3B.

Yep :banghead:

Dozier got a hit!

DOZIER GOT A SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

D-O-Z-I-E-R

Little luck never hurts.

A RUN!!!!!!

Way to cut the lead in half guys!! :clap:

Take it however we can get it!

It's interesting that right before the game started on the radio - Denny Matthews said the sun will play a problem today. Sure seems like it so far.

Good lord, Mondi is talented.

Tied up! Way to go Salvy!

Tie game!

Look at this team hitting the ball up the middle and the other way.

Only the tarp can slow down Salvy's blazing speed.

Good grief Dozier

Dozier is a sack of shit

Dozier just stares at strike 3. SMH

For a guy who's trying to pull the ball too much, hard to imagine why he'd sit there and watch a fastball like that on the inside of the plate. I could at least understand if pitcher painted the outside corner.

Baseball players should just be paid on performance and one stipulation should be that if you stare at strike three with the bases loaded your salary is cut to $0

Dyson up there battling unlike the turd before him

Dyson gonna end this with a double

What an AB!

What an AB by Dyson.

Amazing AB by Dyson

LMAO

Great AB by Dyson ends in a 2 run hit!!

Rep.

BWillie said we shouldn't have signed Dyson

That was beautiful!

Dyson! Great AB.

THAT was a professional at bat!

Wish we had more players that could take at bats like that . . . . .

Eovaldi out there sweating like Ted Striker flying into the sun and Dyson was calling time just as he got his hand dry. Great gamesmanship.

Thank God for Dyson because Dozier and Taylor are absolutely worthless.

WTF was Taylor doing???

IMO if they’re not going to let the young guys get AB’s (Matheny has seemed to carry over his hate for the youngins’ from the Cards) I don’t know why Dyson hasn’t earned every day AB’s.

Taylor can’t catch up to 94 mph fastballs right now, and everyone knows it.

Swing the bat asshole, I've seen about enough of that guy.

Watchin strike 3 go right by. :#

Dyson with a professional at bad Taylor follows up with a completely confused at bat.

Well, at least our shitty batters play pretty good defense. :rolleyes:

Minor holds them scoreless in the top half.

This dude has been leaving pitches over the middle of the plate all day. We should have more runs.

Good job Minor....scary a bit, but no runs. :thumb:

He can't even slide correctly.

Why are baseball players such pussies???

Attaboy, Whit!!

WHITDONG!!!

MerriDong!

Whitleydong!

And pretending it was ball 4, even though it would have only been ball 3 if it was not actually strike 3.

That's what speed do Salvy

Mondi can put the game away right here . . . . .

I want to know how this Red Sox team is leading the AL East? They just don't have the eye test.

They don't have to play against Kelvin Gutierrez and Michael A. Taylor every day.

7 -2 . We got this!

That was one of the more confusing innings.

Salvy and Dozier with infield singles.

Mondesi strikes out looking.

Kelvin with this third (wtf?) walk of the game.

3 Dozier hits, 3 Gutierrez walks, and a Perez infield single.

Good job Royals, score them runs! :clap:

Uh oh. Mondi out of the game. Let’s hope it’s just because they think the game is well in hand.

Oh no..

We hope so.

But FTR, that TV shot looked like a father/ son pic. Why were they together like that!

Game is essentially over. They got Mondi out of there. Rest today, tomorrow is off day and then play the Yanks on Tuesday.

Minor was major / Hud

Yep. Just 1 mistake throwing an 0-2 strike down the middle for his only real blemish!:clap:

7-2 is far from a finished game. There was still 1/3 of the game left. He's probably ****ing hurt again.

It isn’t showy, but if Lopez keeps playing like this, he’ll prove very useful. Decent plate discipline, doesn’t try to do too much, is a tough out. He’s the kind of player that just ticks off the other team.
