Now the question is whether the White Sox offense can get anything at all going against Volquez??

 

Because those were two great plays in one inning...sandwiching a pretty poor one by Abreu.

 

 

Sale as a starter against KC..., .277 BAA, against the rest of the AL as a starter (even MN), only .218. Have won the season series every year from 2011-2015.

 

Saladino, btw, with a great relay throw to get the runner at 1st. He has to be on that field instead of Rollins just for the sake of his defensive superiority.

How was the Abreu play a poor one?

Abreu now 2/16 on the season against KC.

 

And of course the Orioles are blowing their 4-0 lead against CLE as well. 4-3. Great!

Caulfield, can you please stop with all the negative little tid-bits? How about something positive for a change? I'd like a reason for optimism.

Nice aggressive baserunning by Abreu on the bleeding single up the middle...not hit that well into CF and Jose read it well to get to 3B.

We need to get Abreu in right here.

there we go

f*** you Volquez. Only a run behind, don't stop now boys!

How was the Abreu play a poor one?

 

 

Very simple. That dugout has a very distinctive corner.

 

He took an angle straight into the corner and caught his hip on it. If he rounded it, basically reading it off the bat right away and just put his head down and got over there a bit faster instead of drifting with the ball into the dugout railing, it would have been a MUCH easier play.

 

 

2-1 Royals. Lawrie into third, need to tie this game, at the very least.

Volquez falling asleep and Navarro steals one on the pitcher to stay out of the DP situation there.

 

Onus now on Garcia to drive at least one run in.

Navarro with the wheels!

Lovely situational hitting there, Garcia.

 

Wasn't even close to a strike. Impossible for anyone but Vladimir Guerrero to hit that one.

The Royals f***ing suck. Of all the good BBQ in KC, they have Sweet Baby Ray's as a home plate advertiser. They don't deserve to win this game if the baseball gods know what's right.

Saladino .266 BA, .269 OBP. Not so easy to do. Splinter from TMNT or Ming the Merciless from Flash Gordon with the facial hair.

Garcia with the obligatory k with runners on third and one out

Yeah, you just posted that word for word

Garcia with the obligatory k with runners on third and one out

elrockin, you know things are bad when even you start voicing frustrations. Don't let him down any further Saladino!

Well, we could've used a fly out one AB ago!

Anyone know where I can find out if any teams are worse than us with runners on 3rd with less than one out? We have to be the worst in baseball.

Of course

Well, keep grinding.

Sale needs to hold these f***s to two. Their lineup is a complete joke right now with all the injuries.

The Royals f***ing suck. Of all the good BBQ in KC, they have Sweet Baby Ray's as a home plate advertiser. They don't deserve to win this game if the baseball gods know what's right.

 

 

Gates, Arthur Bryant's, Oklahoma Joe's...KC Masterpiece, when they had a restaurant on the Country Club Plaza.

 

 

Saladino at least has saved one run, if not two...with his defense today.

problem is Avi had to take a strike for Navarro to reach 2nd.

 

This team is so mentally fragile that even that little thing kills them.

You missed Jack Stack, but the point remains. f*** Kansas City and f*** the Royals.

No f***ing walks Chris!!!

1-2 pitch was a blatant strike. Nice throw Melky
