Royals had Junis and Keller out with COVID-19, the common symptom of not being able to smell/taste the pizza the key indicator.

2 pitches 2 outs

Keuchel was catching a lot of the plate that inning after working below the zone earlier in the game (not that he was commanding well)

That wouldn't have been a homer in a phone booth.   We haven't heard that one yet this year...although best reserved for balls on the infield or foul territory around the baselines.

McCann looks hitterish

That linedrive was an encouraging sign, give him time to figure it out. He will be fine, his track record speaks for itself.

Of course he will be. I didn't say bench him. I said give him a day to rest

Likely to happen as EE goes back to the line-up.   If not tmrw, day game Sunday.

Jimmy Cordero will apparently pitch the bottom of the 6th.   Keuchel done.

4 straight hitless innings for the offense. Just not clicking at all.

both Eloy and Robert with 102+ MPH batted balls that inning

4 100+ MPH batted balls for the Sox this game, all outs

Why  can't we hit the damn ball

McBroom's choice of Roses as walkup music isn't terrible

Amazing Robert got that high considering he was way under it

Ball 3 was a strike 5 innings ago

Everyone must be in a rush to go out for BBQ or steaks after the game...or hang out on the Country Club Plaza.   City of Fountains.    They might even run into Greg775 at the local Applebee's.

Keuchel still in.

Royals' announcers got fooled.   Undoubtedly out of the game with the first baserunner to get reach.

Ricky is such a terrible manager 

God Rick is an idiot. He really is 

yup, and now he will come out

 

edit: or not and we are really tempting fate

Yep, I knew it. Had no reason to go out for the 6th, he was done.

And he homers. You already know.

Not a single thing last inning suggested keeping him in was a good idea

this wasn't hard to predict....

So Ricky was scared of Gordon facing a righty. What a clown

Thanks, Ricky.

Ricky is so stupid
