No reason to bunt, Ned. He could hit into a DP I guess, but kinda dumb of Neddie.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:42 AM) He's done that a handful of times this season. No reason he can't be better than Duke overall. Yeah, I've been unfair to him. My bad. However, this game is OVA with one of the worst pitchers in baseball on the mound, maybe THE worst and that's not hyperbole.

It would take a miracle to extend this game another inning. I stand by my statement(s) that Fathom could hit a double off Albers if given a chance.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:39 AM) Tim Anderson is just a guess hitter. 5 strikeouts. I'd seriously consider sending him back to Charlotte. He should have been sent down 3-4 weeks ago with a .280, 290 batting average. It was obvious he needs work on his approach.

Gee looks like Don Drysdale out there.

QUOTE (harkness @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:35 AM) Royals just horrible this year... They do stink, but their record against the Sox is stellar of course. LOL Albers is up, so KC wins this game after all!

Jennings is officially out of my doghouse. I commend you, Mr. Jennings. Sorry for blasting you in the past. You sir, earned my applause and admiration tonight.

He might steal home, folks. Don't discount it.

Now the squeeze is on. Nah, he's their superstar.

They might as well squeeze. Kidding, not with nobody out.

sorry i jinxed us; this game is about OVA.

I'll give Jennings credit. He's been OK, especially of late. Win or lose tonight.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 04:20 AM) Gee is a long man, spot starter... The Royals announcers said this affects his next start.

Wow, Yost pulled a Robin. He ran out of relievers. But he goes to a starter, not a position player.

If Albers comes in this will be very quick even though KC can't hit.

That was high for modern strike zones, but too close to take in the 12th inning. Sox are out of useable relievers. This game is about to be OVA.

Sox yearly play so many one-run games. We usually lose them. Hopefully when we get good again we'll win our share of blowouts.

Oops my bad. That was Colon not Mondesi.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 03:51 AM) Time to remove Robertson from closer spot. Maybe someone will claim him off waivers. Might as well make Burdi the closer. He shoulda been traded to a contender.

Oops. It's back to Mondesi-mania provided by the Sox if he gets a hit here.

Nice hit by Abreu. That ball just stopped in the zone for him to smash it.

Good positioning by the Royals. Eaton stroked it pretty well.

Nice hit by Melky, now does he get picked off? Kidding. But we have baserunners that do dumb things.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 03:17 AM) Yuck....Anderson has been exposed big time since the ASB. Sit him tomorrow against Duffy. Hope he winds up over .225 by season's end.

QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 11, 2016 -> 03:13 AM) Got Mondesi at least. Hit a bomb Timmy Yes. That was a good sequence of pitches. Mondesi had no chance as it turned out. Bad at bat by Timmy there.
