Would be nice to see Dunn do a repeat of last at bat and yesterday's first at bat.

Wow. Great bunt on the 0-1 pitch.

Lousy bunt try. Let him hit now?

QUOTE (Stan Bahnsen @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 01:08 AM) Phew, now get Jake the hell out. Don't try too hard to get your boy the W tonight, RV. I'd rather have Jake stay in than Matty. Don't know the pitch count, though.

Jake needed the whole ballpark on that one. Good read and catch, Rios.

At least Flowers has a good arm.

I didn't realize Flowers was a 33rd round pick. So he's lucky to be in the big leagues. He's no good.

Cmon Flowers. Little hit for once, sir.

Nice job by Tank with two strikes. Supurb.

Wow. Yost ripped by fans last night for leaving Chen in too long; dismisses Hochevar early.

Finally Paulie gets a hit. Good job, Paulie. Dunn HR: 451 feet.

Wow. What a bomb by Dunn to center field. Boom!

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 12:35 AM) This guy has not pitched well most of the year. He and Betancourt are the most-hated Royals by the fans.

That's the DeAza I know and love. 3B.

Hochevar is this year's Chen vs. the Sox. He is a s***TY pitcher, White Sox. Hit him, please.

The Royals have a pretty good TV crew tonight with Ryan Lefebre and Jeff Montgomery.

Getz is much better ballplayer than Betancourt. Too bad for us the cancer Yuni isn't playing tonight.

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 12:14 AM) Only if you are on drugs. What about Beckham, Quintana and Humber for Sal/Duffy?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 12:13 AM) Hell no Do u agree Sal Perez is a star in the making, tho?

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 12:08 AM) Stop throwing Escobar fastballs, and he won't do as much damage. Escobar is a future star, to his credit IMO.

Would you trade Chris Sale and Beckham for Sal Perez and Danny Duffy (I realize Duffy is hurt). I think Perez is gonna be special.

I think sweltering weather teams like KC, St. Looie and Texas Rangers should never play games before 7 p.m. I personally won't consider going to a game like Sunday afternoon's game. To me, it's not enjoyable sitting in 95-105 degree heat unless it's on a beach or Vegas pool cabana. Just too hot.

Let's face it, guys, every game we play against the Royals this year is gonna be a dogfight. Our starting pitching ain't looking dominant right now.

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ Jul 15, 2012 -> 12:00 AM) Orioles up to their last man, some guy named Jim Thome. When did the O's acquire Thome? Is he everyday DH?

QUOTE (ScottyDo @ Jul 14, 2012 -> 08:59 PM) People often mention that one bad outing completely screws over a reliever's ERA. If you take out Reed's one disastrous outing, his ERA would be 2.53 and he would be getting ROY talk. He is giving up homers at an insanely low rate, striking guys out and has a bad BABIP at the moment. I'm not sure what people who doubt his offspeed stuff are watching because his change and slider can be devastating from my eyes, and are perfectly matched with a 95mph fastball with good late tailing action. Seriously, what do you want from the guy? He's aggressive, keeps the ball in the park and is unflappable as a rookie. His stuff is extremely good, he's just not polished yet. There are 139572 other things to complain about on this team that are more legitimate than Reed. Good post. Last night's outing won't help his ERA either. It was 9.0. I'm complaining because he didn't get the save last night. I was ready for that game to end.
