Royals

[Back2Lawrence]

Would be ground rule double if change decision yes?

[Back2Lawrence]

What???? Don’t tell us what happened? Boo

[Sparko]

I thought it was a fair ball over the bag. Should be a double

[Back2Lawrence]

[Sparko]

Now if Bobby led off he would be up. If I were manager

[Sparko]

Pham.

[Back2Lawrence]

I thought it was a fair ball over the bag. Should be a double

Not since it was in air whole time.

[Sparko]

Well. Pham was an interesting reach. Needs to go. Gurriel I keep for PH. Renfroe needs to go. Not sure if they can call up guys, but I would get some faster LH batters. Grossman gone. McArthur gone. Q gone.

Not since it was in air whole time.

Timing has been off for days and days.

[Back2Lawrence]

Keeping with the price is right theme, this is how I feel right now….

[Sparko]

Sigh. Wump wump. Perfect storm of incompetence.

[Back2Lawrence]

Guess it’s time to watch the Royals choke after the hawks did….again.

[Back2Lawrence]

Through 5, 5 innings with RISP. Zero runs. Amazing.

[Back2Lawrence]

Having watched this team all season, I’d resist ever say these guys lack heart…

…as a casual just watching the last few weeks, I’d definitely come to that conclusion.

Vinnie held up the house of cards lineup.

[Back2Lawrence]

So much fail. The team looks like they wanted to be invited to prom, then got nervous and left before the first dance.

[Sparko]

Renfroe, a slow RH batter up as the tying run in the 9th. Nobody out. Against a RH pitcher with a 1.99 ERA. Renfroe was 0-3 with three Ks. Struck out a 4th time. Then came Gurriel the slowest Royal. After a near 5-4-3, Massey pops out harmlessly and weakly to 3B. 27 innings. One run. Quartraro is an awful manager. Has no answers. Never bunted. Left gimpy Gurriel on 1B without a pinch runner so even if Massey hit a gapper, he was barely geeting to third. Lose this guy.

[pdub]

Uh oh.

[Back2Lawrence]

Uh oh.

It does not look good, Bob.

I read, somewhere, an analysis that the Royals missing the playoffs (with reference to their peak make-the-playoffs probability) would be the equivalent of being up 3-0 in a best-of-seven series, with a one-run lead after four innings in Game 4, and blowing the series.

[Back2Lawrence]

The Tigers have already won today, so the limp dick Royals need to win to keep the fifth position for sure
