City just lost to freakin' Crystal Palace. They've now sunk to 4th and are at risk of losing a guaranteed spot in the Champions League round of 32.

I'm not sure how you take the same lead after you almost got picked off on the last pick-off throw.

Atta boy Micah.

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) i dont think Jeff liked the way moustakas celebrated that. And I don't blame him If you didn't like what he did, hit him the next time he's up. Don't hit the next batter.

I hope Shark just has no control today. There's no reason to start a bean-ball war with the Royals.

Flowers :|

Nice quick inning. And my god Melky looks shaky out there.

Nice job by Micah.

QUOTE (shipps @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:17 PM) The pitch tracker on mlb gameday must be waaaaayy off. There are pitches down the middle on there that are called balls. I want that live K-Zone from the ESPN brodcast yesterday during all the CSN broadcasts.

The slider is Samardzija's money pitch. If he doesn't have it, he's pretty mediocre.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Probably the most overrated pitcher in baseball the last 3 years. He definitely was before last year. He was damn solid last year though, although I'm still not sure what Beane was thinking trading Russel for him.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:10 PM) Ok, I don't blame Flowers for that one. I'm pretty sure Yadi blows that one.

God damn it Flowers...

QUOTE (daa84 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) the royals are the new twins At least they don't play in a dome.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:04 PM) Garcia is a terrible outfielder. I'm not sure how he rated out as such a speed threat...cause from what I've seen of him, he's not fast.

Nothin' you can do about that.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) Jeff's offspeed stuff is not good today It wasn't good in ST either.

That's one hell of a first at bat for Micah. He didn't get on, but he made him throw 13 pitches.

Micah's got some good plate coverage.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:49 PM) Alex Gordon has to get called on that roll into Micah. If this isn't opening day at home that's a call that should be made every time. I've seen far worse take out slides. It's part of the game.

QUOTE (Bigsoxhurt35 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:48 PM) No need to overreact. It's ok just one run. Pitch selection albeit one pitch to Salvy was bad. Free swinger. Showed in the World Series to not throw him a strike Throw him high and in and he'll try to swing every time.

Hitting Gordon really screwed up that inning for us. Turned nothing into something.

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 03:45 PM) He was referring to Gordon Ok that makes way more sense.

Did Stone just say Rios was in the conversation for MVP until August? Wha?

I don't see how that's intentional. He already buzzed Hosmer.
