Man our pen is gonna be spent after today. Gonna need some solid outings from Nova, Rodon, Santana and Lopez over the weekend against Detroit.

Too bad they wasted Colome yesterday. Maybe come up with mystery injury for Burr or Ruiz and recall Fulmer?

Fuck what a terrible AB by Leury. 

Wouldn't he have been better going for a bunt on the last pitch ?

Good stuff from Chuck

Yes. Yes, this will do.

I just don’t see KC taking Vaughn, and I’m happy that Kiley started to hear some doubts about it

I don't believe so no. Leury is a free swinger but he had no chance to make contact on that 3rd pitch.

Well if Giolito goes on the 15 day DL they won't have to.

You really don't bunt when the count is no balls and 2 strikes , if you foul off the bunt attempt it is strike 3. What he needed to do was after the 1st pitch right down the middle realize how badly the pitcher had been throwing and take the 2nd pitch. Have to have a brain in baseball and be aware of the situation and how things have unfolded.

Yes...I love the idea of bringing back Q as the veteran on the staff

Burr won't pitch again until at least saturday

Somewhere @southsider2k5 is grinning due to the Burr-Hamilton jokes

oo boy, me no likey.

Yes , just thought it was a waste not to get something with 2 out .

Ah yes, bring out your big guns here: Josh Osich.

Time to take out Burr...sigh. Royals looking like they are gonna make the Sox pay. The wasted opportunities we have had so far with the bases loaded opportunity and not taking advantage of the KC error is looking like it might come back to bite them.

Even though he got a hit here, I can‘t believe how wrong I was about Billy Hamilton as a prospect. He hits like a good hitting pitcher.

Burr did a good job though, one of those bad luck innings for a pitcher. Obviously, don't walk people, but getting 2 ground balls and only 1 out is tough.

Geez nice spot for Osich. Probably will be at least tied after this inning  and that's if Osich does well.
