So what do people think of Frank in the booth?

i like Frank, but not in the booth. At least w/hawk blowing smoke up his ass. I had to change to the radio broadcast and turn down the volume.

Yeah I think he might flourish more in a 3 man setting with Ed and DJ.

Is the home run by Castro the only one we have this series?

That's why the fans here love Getz. It's not always about sabes numbers.

He is a good guy to have on a team, folks.

I'm amazed he wasn't asked to bunt to lead off.

This is 100% a situation where a successful stolen base is the right move.

 

Omar will bunt.

When he's not injured at least.

 

Or hitting somewhere around .250

 

Getz was ok last year, sucks this year.

OMG, Omar swang away.

 

I like him swinging away. WTF though? Why does he get to do that?

Yes he is and I was surprised when we traded him for Teahan

Why not have the league leading base stealer attempt a steal here?

A "successful" stolen base is always the right move.

Problem is it aint always successful.

Like Mark Kotsay? I don't expect everyone to be into sabermetrics, but there's no set of criteria under which Getz is good.

It's as successful as a bunt.

Sabes people can say he sucks; Royals fans get some joy from watching him play in another season of no joy.

why is he bunting, STEAL!!!

Surprised they brought Greinke out for this inning.

I am thinking it's becasue he is a contact hitter and can get Piertre over to third on a hit through the infield

He had some good time and showed some promise last year with us. I thought he had a shot to develop into a legit contributor. This season he's regressed on everything.

Then Alexei and AJ shouldn't be bunting either.

Thank goodness we brought in a base stealer just so we can bunt him over to 2nd all of the time.

But, he can bunt too

Maybe we're trying to get the record for most outs given up in a season?

might as well have konerko at 1st if you're going to give away an out like that. He didn't do that w/Pods.

Well, not all the time
