CWS vs Royals - Game 1
-
@truehawk93 They came down with it at Tampa Bay, so I would think nobody else will be affected after 4 days.
-
@brooksmd Contained and they are on injured reserve for now?
-
@truehawk93 Watching game now…bats need rattled
-
@truehawk93 Yep. Think 3-4 weeks
-
@truehawk93 It’s early.
-
Medlen doesn’t seem to be too effective on the mound right now. The Sox are hitting him well.
-
Toronto beat Balt in extra innings so Royals need to win this one to keep Toronto at bay.
-
Time to pull Medlen, but maybe this game doesn’t matter much at this point.
-
@truehawk93 For home field advantage it’s important. Toronto has been coming on strong. Only have a 6 game lead on them and they won, so Royals lose and it’s down to 5.
-
@truehawk93 They just don’t seem to be in the game at the plate.
-
Medlen has had 3 good innings, unfortunately he’s had 2 bad ones. And apparently the Royals bats are tired after the last 2 games. CWS 6-0 after 4 1/2.
-
Royals only 3 hits after 5 innings.
-
@brooksmd Afraid this one ended in the 4th for the Royals. It’s a series so maybe they’ll come back and roll them.
-
Medlen’s ERA is 4.88, whoa
-
They pull Medlen and bring in Guthrie with a 5.52 ERA. So the Royals have conceded this game. Interesting strategy, but apparently they feel this game won’t impact their season.
-
The American league hitting king, Cabrera is 0-4 in this game.
-
Damn old age. I was looking at last nites scores when I said Toronto won. So it looks like losing won’t be that bad tonite. Toronto losing could be why Ned gave up on this one.
-
@brooksmd They just started their Labor Day celebration in the 4th this game.
-
Moustakas is day to day with his hammy. He might be back on Sunday.
-
@truehawk93 Cuthbert has filled in very well for Moose.
-
@brooksmd Just one of those games. The bats should rally next game and I expect a win. Maybe Duffy will have a better outing. Then Cueta which his cutter isn’t cutting much lately. So, if we can sneak out with at least 1-2 wins this series, it should keep them paced. I just reviewed the standings and didn’t realize the Jays were so close. But a 6 game deficit is difficult to overcome. I don’t see KC dropping too many more games. I expect the Jays to drop a few more too.
-
Looks like Danks may get a Labor Day weekend shutout.
-
@truehawk93 Yep. That’s it. I’m out. Hopefully like you said they’ll storm back tomorrow. Later…
-
Looks like if I’d chimed in to talk about this game I’d have been talking to myself!
-
@wissoxfan83 If you had chimed in last night you would’ve had me and @truehawk93 to talk to. I was here til the back-to-back hr’s in the 8th. Still 2 more games in this series so join us for them.
-
@brooksmd cool to have truehawk!!
-
@brooksmd I might a little. UW-Bama tonight, I’ll be watching that for sure! Tomorrow plans for LSU soccer in the afternoon.
-
Well, I sure picked a bad game to go to last night. At least it was relatively quick.
-
@DanR oh
, I have family and friends going today and tmrw.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I originally planned to go tonight, but I couldn’t find 5 decent seats together for under $125 each. Prices on StubHub have gone up!
Even for last night, had to pick between $84 tickets in lower section 111 way down left outfield line, or $35 for seats in section 413, 7th row in the upper deck behind home plate and third.
Considering the score, we were happy we went with the cheaper seats. First time I’ve ever sat in the upper level. (usually only go to 3-4 games a year)
-
@DanR Yeah, it could’ve been a 5 hr game like the nite before. That would almost make you jump off the upper deck.
