Those first inning runs came back to bite Q lol

Failure to put up a crooked number in any of these last 3 innings will probably cost. The fight is there, but Guthrie should already be toast.

 

Guess I should be used to this by now.

 

That's exactly right. I know slugging percentage and OPS is an indicator but I'd love to see a stat that says how many hits drive in 2 or more runs at a time. But I'm afraid it would only disclose what we already know.

Every damn time. Why did they keep him in?

 

Because Ventura is clueless in managing pitchers.

If score stands, he'll be tied for AL in losses

I'm sorry but Tyler Flowers sucks. I can't believe how many posts I've seen in the past week or so saying catching isn't a gigantic problem. I don't care where we currently rank in terms of catcher OPS, because had you looked at the end of May we'd be near the bottom. Flowers had a good June where he finally hit some home runs and brought his overall offensive numbers to respectability, but anyone thinking this was anything but a hot streak will be fooling themselves. We saw the same thing last year, wait until the end of the season and the numbers will be garbage as usual. We're stuck with him for now, but Hahn definitely needs to find a better starting catcher than Flowrrs before next season.

 

Sox pitchers getting beat up pretty good today. Flowers isn't that bad, folks. He is average. He is what he is. There are a lot of terrible catchers out there.

Nice job by Putnam

Sox love to give up runs

He definitely was the right choice by Robin to get the DP.

Has there ever been a team less ready when the lights go on? Other teams have a game plan against our pitchers, especially the divisional foes. They have learned more about us than we about them in the same games, and THAT folks is one of the clearest indictments of our coaching/managing.

 

Unless you want to believe there's some kind of huge talent gap. The record against the rest of the league tells me there isn't.

No more Guthrie that blows but expected.

The elusive Carlos Sanchez walk

Something is definitely broken. Not sure if it's on the players or coaches, but I've never seen anything like this.

This umpire is missing an insane amount of calls the last few innings.

A few outside pitches to our lefty hitters called strikes.

 

 

Will have to imagine a delay soon.

What's with all the rain this summer?? Crazy s***. It seems like every Royals game in KC has had threat of a storm for about a month straight now.

That sucks they had to bat in a typhoon like that.

would be nice to see them score 2 more and get that 50% off at papa johns

Jose Abreu does not like thunder.

Why would they risk playing in a thunder storm?

ALEXEI!!!!!

THE LEAST LIKELY THING JUST HAPPENED

That is surprising.

WOW ! Alexei goes oppo !!!!

Avi would have caught that. JB too.
