Some lazy outfielding by six-time Gold Glove winner Gordon in left. Eddie takes advantage.

 

Thought I'd add that in case anyone had forgotten.

 

Like maybe Gordon.

Horrible throw home. Swinging at low and outside. Is the Buxton honeymoon fading? Berrios looks like a #4 today.

Okay, in front of a tele...

 

What i miss?

That throw home from Buxton was just a hail mary. That guy was going to score 99 times out of 100, nothing more he could do there.

I like Cruz!!!!!!!

CRUZ!!

There we go!

 

Cruz control!

Great green light call by Rocco!

lol after throwing 3 bad balls, they were actually pitching to him?

Gave Cruz something to hit...

 

We got us a lead!

I don't think that pitch was supposed to be in the zone but Cruz made them pay for the mistake, just like what good teams should do

Berrios actually looks like he's getting better as the game progresses.

Seriously? Nothing.... like a professional ball player with a great arm being on target, late or not? I totally disagree there. A bad throw is a bad throw. He wasn't even that deep. I guess I just hope for better performances as a standard.

Berrios is pitching well enough to keep the game close and the pitch count down. I am definitely not complaining.

Agreed. Lot's of #4s win games. Certainly he is not as special as he can be. Observing is not complaining in my book.

Cron hustles out the pop up.

 

Is that a seeing eye double?

More of that quality OF defense in the central, and I think KC has the second best OF defense

Terrible AB by Gonzalez there, gotta get 'em over dude.

Neither did Schoop...

I just can't bring myself to cheer against the Royals pitcher ... you do the math.

 

And that is all I have to say.

C'mon Castro!

Willians at 3rd tomorrow afrernoon.

Baserunning or fielding?

Yes. Geez, that was way too easy.

Full count to Buxton...

Dude, nobody in the majors is going to throw out a tagging speedster on a play to home on that fly ball. We all are hoping Buxton plays better but that play doesn't illustrate his weaknesses.

 

The strikeout with 2 on and 2 out, on the other hand...

I was intrigued until this turned into a story problem.

Perfect examples of why I distrust defensive metrics in this game. Merrifield will get killed by the metrics for missing that pop up, that if Hamilton catches he gets extra points. Kepler missed a couple this year that he caught last year. Rosario gets little credit for his fire hose while Gordon will prolly win another gold glove for potentially costing his team a run with a less than 100% approach on single to left.

...and it looks like my campaign of "errors mean nothing anymore" will continue into 2019. Merrifield can't find a routine flyball, and gets counted as a double. Ugh!

Warning to people in south-central Iowa who are not watching the game:

 

A batted baseball will be reaching you from the air, sometime in the next 45 minutes
