Run on Gordon? What the hell?

Alexei out by a mile. Damn it.

Stay hot Flowers...but jeez Alexei, did he know there were 2 outs?

Out at home dam

Whaaaa that ball was definitely catchable

By whom? Maybe if he had a rocket up his ass.

Quickly jumping on Garcia's defense is now the cool thing. Did anyone see where he was positioned on that play? It wasn't a bad jump, he was playing way too shallow to catch that ball. Yell at the bench coach for that one.

 

Why would you play shallow in RF against Alex Gordon with a gale force wind blowing in that direction? He's the most dangerous hitter for the Royals, arguably. Or Butler.

 

He's already showed an inability to get back on the ball...the one that got over his head from Collabello yesterday.

On the bright side, we're hitting Cy Guthrie

Stay hot Flowers...but jeez Alexei, did he know there were 2 outs?

What? He was being waved home.

No, it would have been very, very difficult. But a guy who has shown center fielder skills shouldn't have those skills regressing at 22.

He doesn't have center field skills and to say he should have caught a rocketed gapper flying with the wind is comical.

that was a bad send, alexei new not to try to stretch that single into a double yet he runs on him trying to score..

By whom? Maybe if he had a rocket up his ass.

 

People would still complain even if we had 3 Mike Trout's starting in the OF

Probably not.

 

You just don't run on Gordon and Escobar. Two great arms.

Ask the coach who positioned him there then. I was shocked he got as close to it as he did with how hard he hit it.

flowers and alexei leading team in hitting

Like Uribe and Thornton donks? Or butt implant looking ass, like Octavio Dotel?

 

Dotel for sure.

Again, didn't say that - the effort was less than ideal.

On first view, seemed like he wasn't as far past 2nd as expected when the camera view changed. He was running all the way though.

Not that it will matter, but that third place coach is a fricking moron. How can you be that dumb and have a major league job? Gordon is the best in baseball at plays like that. My god, McEwen. Idiotic.

Johnson has nothing today.

if anybody wants to complain about Hawk...listen to this homer in the Royals booth right now.

Good god...dude...STFU!!!

It was hit in the gap but far over to the right field side. To act like Eaton had a shot on that is silly.

 

You're a great poster Rock but you do yourself a disservice when you fall in love with a player like Garcia and fail to look at his plays objectively. You have defended each and every one of his bad reads/plays/jumps in RF. Are you saying he's been adequate thus far? I remember going back and forth with you when you said he was going to have Magglio like impact. He's a specimen and a talent but he has a ways to go.

Yes reality of not getting to a gapper is doing me a disservice. Uh huh. His defense has been putrid thus far this season, that play was not one of them.

I'm not sure he could have caught it, but it just seems like he's not getting good reads on anything hit out there right now. Like you said, why play him so shallow with wind flying out and Johnson trying to pitch Gordon inside?

EJ's settled down

What good what it do to have 3 CFers? There'd be no one to cover LF or RF.

who rex?
