Nice win and Twins loss. Odorizzi on the DL with a blister, he was getting bombed before he left the game. I really think the Twins slide could be coming.

It's amazing that we win a game and there's not a single post in the game thread.

The Royals are a really bad team.

What do you guys think we see out of Clev today? Why did we not send him down to get back in shape, I am afraid he is still a couple of appearances away from being ready and might get shelled again tonight, but I am not basing that on anything but gut feeling.

If you listen to his ex wife, karma will strike again and he’ll get shelled. Then get hurt again.

I don't think he's out of shape. He's just rusty.

Physically he's there. The guy was hitting 98mph on his pitches. He was just leaving them over the middle of the plate. With how much time he's had off, it's not unreasonable for him to be rusty.

Robo's trip around the basepath was hilarious.

Also, the Royals are still really bad.

Trade us Merrifield... Cmon you know you want to

Naquin sac bunting.

Fuck Tito

 

[jhard]

Would you rather he hit into a doub....
Spoiler alert...bunting would have been way better

Nice to see Bauers swinging it well.

OPS is up to .714 for the season.

Very nice considering his start.

Eh, can't use the ends to justify a shit decision. Having naquin try to sac bunt there lowers your odds of winning. Titos been doing this all year and it's terrible managing.

Also, maybe he doesn't GIDP if isn't starting the at bat down two strikes after not getting the bunt down.

Naquin sac bunting.

Fuck Tito

I'm assuming you have never played the game of baseball. In that particular situation, that is absolutely the right call. If Naquin successfully lays down that bunt, you have runners on 2nd and 3rd with only one out. Not to mention your best player Frankie Lindor is up next. He hits a single and the score is 4 - 0, essentially putting away the game when you consider the way Clev is throwing right now

You assume like an idiot, and your entire post is antiquated garbage that's been proven as such.

The play lowers your run expectancy. Period.

Try doing just the minimal amount of research or have a basic understanding of the game before coming in here with a shit take.

If you want to defend the bunt call, I think your only option is to say that Tito wants them to execute it in the regular season just in case it's ever needed in the playoffs. I can't think of another argument.

Not to mention "The way Clev is throwing right now" when he's no longer in the game

Perez absolutely carrying us tonight with that two run bomb. Man was that Gomes trade a steal.
