Jose Abreu

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:20 PM) Carroll was ineligible to be called up because he was sent down less than 10 days ago and there were no injuries. Johnson pitched in the AAA All Star Game on Wednesday and would not be prepared to pitch today. I thought the rule was 7 days and not 10, but I guess I was wrong. And I feel like there must have been other options at AAA rather than calling him all the way up from AA.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:18 PM) You're not going to see Montas unless one of these teams scores 6 runs Why would we have called him up over Carroll or Johnson for one day and not have him pitch

I'll take it

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Pull him. Only at 90ish pitches, I think they give him another inning, then Montas

How did Melky beat that tag...

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:09 PM) Give Danks his due against his favorite patsies . Do KC fans call him Cy Danks ? I wish Guthrie pitched tonight instead of tomorrow. Cy Danks vs Cy Guthrie. 1-0 loss in extra innings.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 09:07 PM) QS for Danks. Wow Don't jinx it. A 5-run 7th could be looming.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:57 PM) He really is like the anti Royal. Yeah, a subpar defender, bad baserunner, inconsistent hitter... weird signing for them.

Sale AND Quintana to the Cubs for Bryant, Soler, Castro, Schwarber, Edwards, McKinney, Baez, Steele, Vogelbach, and Almora.

He's clearly playing hurt.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) And much, much worse offensively. It's sad. Would have loved to see his glove in the bigs. Yeah, he's hitting like .170 at high-A... jeez

Yay, Beckham batting 2nd... against a righty... he's hitting .195. .125 when batting 2nd...

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:00 PM) My guess, 6-2 Royals victory tonight You think we get two runs? Anything over zero is probably a bad bet.

And that's the game. Positives: -Eaton's power -Saladino's hitting approach -Defense Negatives: -Hitting

Saladino sucks at hitting homers.

QUOTE (Dunt @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:53 PM) Is there an actual legitimate reason to replace Soto with Bonafacio? I seriously cant think of one Holland is much more effective vs RH hitters

Why is Bonifacio PHing over Shuck??? wtf edit: nevermind

Hey, a CS!

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Which of the 3 headed monster is most susceptible to giving up runs? Herrera

QUOTE (greg775 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:42 PM) Is there any reason they didn't pitch Sale in Game One to suggest to the Royals maybe we came to compete this weekend? Weird organization. Sale must be hurt or sore or something.

Let's take his 0.46 ERA and make it... well s***, it would still be under 1

QUOTE (shysocks @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:36 PM) https://twitter.com/TheBlogfines/status/622141937529810944 Sorry for Cubs link but it needs to be seen. The good old 4-6-3 putout!

A 1-2-3 inning for... Dan Jennings? That can't be right. Gameday must be f***ing up.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:27 PM) I'm hoping they're going to give him a shot at SS. I can't imagine they have money to fill that position next year while also filling some of the other gaping holes on this roster and he's been a solid defensive SS in the minors. He's got a shot to be a tolerable SS for next year, let's give him that shot. And the year after it's Anderson's

And here comes the rain (in the suburbs)... I guess not watching the game is a good thing.
