All the royals players can do is high five betancourt since he hasnt learned the ****ing language

[Sure-Oz]

I fully expect Kendall fail

[alnorth]

All 7 runs (so far) were scored with no men on, 2 outs. Without that interference, we probably are still losing by 3 runs.

al, from now on you need to include Blaine Hardy in the futures or minor league players to watch. He's doing it again in Omaha after being promoted in late May.

IP 11 K's 10 BB 1 ER 0.

Found it, Guillen's run is unearned, but everyone after him is still earned. A very obscure scoring rule applies to this game. This is the only situation I know of where a batter-runner reaching on an error can later score an unearned run with 2 outs, but it has no impact on determining if other runs are unearned.

A runner who reaches on catcher's interference and subsequently scores with two outs scores an unearned run, but baserunners who subsequently score after the runner who has reached on catcher's interference exclusively on clean plays score earned runs; the baserunner cannot be assumed to have been put out except for the error. (Rule 10.16(4)).

I guess that means if there was 1 out, everything would have been earned? Weird.

thought about it when I saw his ERA earlier today, but when I looked up his minor league career I saw he blew up just this year with limited IP. Figured I'd wait.

Oh, and holy crap Gordon and Kila are walk machines. 3 walks each so far in the 5th inning.

Butler Doubles and the astros player is his bitch by taking his leg gear for him lol
