This kind of gets to what Chief is saying.

 

If you are going to sacrifice Mauer to second, then Mauer shouldn't be the runner on second. He's too slow.

Rosario couldn't find his *** with both hands

Unless he did it on his own?

Buxton 0 for his last 13. Time to end this streak.

Rosario may need a day or two off.  Don't like the bunt with a cold Rosario and Buxton next up

 

Rosario 0-6 vs the lefty minor and mired in a slump. Should probably bunt before he's up (prove me wrong)

Yup, just another terrible decision to bunt. Polanco is hot, let him hit!

Not to mention you're depending on Rosario against a LHer and then Buxton with 2 out.

What a pick. I really hope that bunt call didn't come from the dugout. Ruined the whole inning.

 

Unless he did it on his own?

He might have.

 

I still hate the play, and if he did, Polanco should know better.  In fact, he should be told not to bunt in that situation before coming to the plate.

True, the #3 hitter in a baseball lineup does bunt frequently

Who wants the Wild Card? Show me!

I'm not sure who called it, but it stunk either way

Where we're going, we don't need lineup roles

Who wants the Wild Card? Show me!

I do, but honestly, as an east coaster, the thought of yet another playoff loss to the Yankees makes me want to vomit profusely

Play for the tie at home, the win on the road

 

Oh wait

There are no ties in baseball.

 

Or crying.

Benefit of two TVs, Women's tennis tonight at US Open has been spectacular. All USA semi-finals. Venus vs Slone Stephens superb match. No grunting until the third set. 2nd match not as close at this point. Since I am forced to listen to KC announcers who are more homerific than Dick and Bert, I muted the BB game.

In NW Arkansas 4 teams claim your region broadcasting rights. Astros make no sense, I am OK with Rangers, also OK with Royals. Cannot remember when Twins last played the Cardinals. Oh yeah 1987.

How about hugs?

 

Interesting strategy to take the first 2 pitches for strikes

 

Edit: and we see how it worked out for him

We just got a base hit on an 0-2 pitch.

 

knock me over with a feather.

please don't sacrifice.

Kennys is lurking

Somewhere, Royals fans are furious for that 0-2 hit.

Blew it right by him

Pinch hit?

Et tu, Escobar?

 

We need a big hit, badly

Kennys is lurking

lurking over what?

OH MY

Gordon needs to catch that.
