Royals @ Tigers
-
Royals taking on Verlander and the Tigers. Salvy has made Verlander his b***h so looking for good things from him tonite. Five straight series wins, in the month of June, so let’s see if they can make it six. Merrifield bounces one over the 420 cf wall to lead things off.
-
Was just thinking about a favorite poster of ours in the KU BB area. He would probably say series wins during the season don’t mean anything if you don’t win the WS. Bonifacio singles in Whit. Royals 1-0, no outs.
-
Wonder if Salvy got Miggy to sign his Grand Slam bat.
-
Cain singles, Bonifacio to 2nd and still no outs. R’s really need to jump all over Verlander early as Hoz singles and loads up the bases.
-
Salvy bloops first pitch in to short rf scoring Bonifacio and LoCain.
-
Moose grounds to Miggy who throws wide to 2nd for the force instead of a dp. One out runners first and third.
-
Moss swings at 3 straight balls out of the zone. Two outs.
-
Esky lines sharply up the middle, deflected by Verlander allowing the force out at 2nd. Royals 3 - 0
-
@brooksmd 'bout killed him!
-
Strahm on the hill for the Royals.
-
@brooksmd Bubba, Bubba! Starling, please!
-
@mayjay he ready? Where we putting him?
-
When’s duff coming back?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Recent article says Bubba is playing his best ball after almot quitting when he started season badly. Call him up. Euthanize Moss.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Isn’t Duffy rehabbing in the minors now?
-
@mayjay nice way to put him out!
-
@brooksmd yes
-
-
He’s done 1 of 3 rehab starts.
-
brb, gotta feed the kids.
-
Close!
-
Big SO of Miggy. I can breathe again.
-
You guys think Ned will hang in there w/moss?
-
-
Liking Boni better all the time, trusting him out in field more too
-
“When he was drafted, Bubba Starling was hailed as a game-changing selection. Many believed the local boy from Gardner, Kansas would quickly become the face of the franchise.”
Nothing like putting major pressure on a kid.
-
@brooksmd my sons good friend was one of Bubba’s coaches in fb at G-E. Great athlete.
-
Salvy a little short on the ooomph on that one.
-
Even Salvy tipped his hat to Matook for that catch. Class.
-
CAIN!!! That’s what lackadaisical get you. Stupid.
-
@brooksmd what? Missed it
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Routine fly ball and he dropped it.
-
@brooksmd dang!
-
At over 100 pitches let’s hope Verlanders nite is over as the Royals haven’t done squat since the first except wasted a couple of good opportunities.
-
Verlander threw the 7th and the Royals were kind enough to not make him exert himself with Whit, Boni and Cain going 3 up and down on just 7 pitches.
-
BS 3rd strike on Moss.
-
It’s where it crosses the plate ump, not where it hits the catchers glove.
-
But it’s pathetic to have a .180 hitting DH.
-
Crap, Gordon leading off top of the 9th still down 5-3.
-
Great opportunity guys. Bosox beating up on the Twins and Tex has thumped Clev.
-
@brooksmd how much are we paying Gordo?
-
@brooksmd I miss our old fans here, not old in age!
-
Anything over a buck two eighty is too much.
-
Well, on the plus side, if everybody loses nobody gains.
-
@brooksmd rather gain though!
-
Should have scored more in the first
-
Good nite!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 And the other 2 innings with 2 on and no outs.
-
@brooksmd 6 tmrw?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yup
-
Tough loss last night. Can’t stop scoring after the first. I wonder who buys Verlander here at the deadline. Not having a great season, but he is still Verlander.
