92 mph...jeez

Throw a pitch out

And he's leaving Reed in.

That slider is freaking pathetic. Reed is not a closer, he's hardly even Major League caliber.

92 mph fastballs right down the plate

I really wish they brought in a lefty so Veal could be used.

Of course

Wow, just wow

THORNTON!

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:26 PM) Thornton. They going to have him face Butler and Perez as well?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:23 PM) Myers has an 18 ERA vs. the Royals this year. He has nothing on his pitches of late. This bullpen is so fragile right now.

Wow, huge out at home! Great relay by Alexei.

And just like that, tying run is on deck. PK's fail with the bases loaded looming large.

Myers velocity seems way down from where it was earlier in the year. I saw where he threw 94 mph in a game vs the White Sox earlier this year.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:17 PM) Paulie's popping almost everything up. He's having a hard time hitting anything on the line.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:14 PM) Konerko's 1 for 10 with the bases juiced this year. Jeez, we've seen that weak pop up far too often from him.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 11:03 PM) He's had it for a while. I don't think he's thrown it as much this year due to the injury. I remember Crain used to throw a ton of sliders. I think he really changed his approach in his last year with the Twins. There were times when he was untouchable against the Sox by throwing that slider in the dirt.

Wow, great inning for Crain

Since when has Crain thrown this particular type of curve? I like it.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 09:01 PM) This home plate ump is f***ing blind. He called a totally fair ball foul and then Cain was out by an entire foot. It's the Angel Hernandez crew...they always suck

Got to get out of this inning with the score tied.

Butler continues to own Chris Sale

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 8, 2012 -> 09:54 PM) Good at bat by Escobar. Royals working Sale over. They've seen him so much this year, they don't seem to be fooled by anything.

Olmedo's career stats vs LHP are terrible. Under a .475 OPS now.
