Alright, we're losing hope. No gamethread? I'll take BOTH under this thread.

Verlander vs. Duffy

Let's do this.

Yost on Duffy: "The rest of our starters are doing pretty well, too. We’ve got two weeks until…the rosters expand…"

penbrook · 08-16-2013, 02:39 PM

More Yost on Duffy: "We’ll let him go down and get another start or two and then come back up."

penbrook · 08-16-2013, 02:39 PM

Yost says Herrera, Crow and Holland all available for second game, if necessary, despite pitching in first game.

CaliforniaChief · 08-16-2013, 02:42 PM

Good Lord. Maxwell can't even stay through this next game? It's a left-handed pitcher, the reason we acquired him for the stretch run, for God's sake. This is a playoff game as far as we're concerned. Grandma died two weeks ago. The other 59 grandkids can

while the most important grandchild does his job.

CaliforniaChief · 08-16-2013, 02:43 PM

Because I'd like Gordon, Lough, and Maxwell to be our OF for the next game, not Gordon-Dyson-Lough against a lefty.

Tropicana Field, they're trying to find a way to boost attendance for the establishment.

If that's the case, I'm bringing EJ back for one game.

Nah. Nevermind.

I don't like Carrol leading off, but I guess it could be worse. Moose & Cain being gone is horrible for this lineup.

Is it a unwritten rule that you now have to have a OBP of sub .300 to leadoff for the Royals? WTF!

Getz, carrol, escobar, bonifacio all in the same lineup.

We won't score more than 4.

Denny and Ryan were classic on the radio when Iglesias got nailed.

Ryan: "It looks like Kottaras is appealing this, saying that he offered at the pitch before the ball may have....oh ok. Replay helps us see things that you don't see live...let's just say he got hit somewhere between the kneecap and the belly button...you can figure that out."

Denny said something good, but I forget it now...

And then Ryan goes..."So Iglesias, who is now a soprano, leads off from first."

I'm a big fan of the Fever. He's a damned good announcer.
