God damn. Do I really have to say it AGAIN? This game isn't over. ****. Yeah that sucked hard, but we have a chance still.

been saying all day if Perez swings at shit in the dirt we will lose......dude had a golden opportunity to tie the game and never saw 1 strike

It ain't over yet

Drama at the K in the ninth

Would have left Davis in. Just me.

What in the hell hapened to Sal? He need a shit ton of work at the plate.

Why not pinch hit for Infante?

No, we should have pinch hit for either one of them. We have 2-3 months that suggest they're both hot garbage at the plate in recent history.

Im sure the term your shooting for is mind boggling ive seen like 5 mind bottlings tonight. ok come on royals you got this just one run.

Pinch hit for Moose?

A ****ING SAC FLY, THATS ALL WE NEEDED

That is what I called for. I know it is unpopular playing to tie on a bunt with 1 outs but christ

If you would have told me we would score 6 runs tonight I would have taken that and told you we would be winners!

Safety squeeze with Gore on 3rd is what I thought they should have done. Keep out of the DP and strike out. Get the tie game.

That was a shameful AB for Salvy.

I would think so

In the end, it appears the things we knew could **** us, ****ed us.

1. Ned

2. Plate discipline that is beyond terrible

Also, I much rather would have had Chris Getz up instead of Infante

Seriously. No amount of complaining or anger is enough for Perez tonight. No more Salvy either.

Nice to see player taking balls

Or they could have not swung at pitches that were 90 inches away while holding a 34 inch bat.

Did Wade get tired throwing 7 pitches? #yosted

RH pitcher, nadda chance!

I bet I could design a software program in a week that would replace every manager in baseball.

Holland K

Dyson should have hit for salvy

Belly swung at one a couple weeks ago that the catcher couldn't even get to

Other than he probably doesn't know how, Yost probably didn't call for it.

Dale Sveum is a sexy man.

Also, are these announcers not allowed to show any sort of emotion? Zzzz.....

Hadn't seen blades of glory. Google fixed me. Thanks

Perez just flat out choked. Worst AB I've ever seen possibly.

Salvy and Perez are the same guy.

Watch Blades of Glory please

Pathetic

Omar has gotten a lot of clutch hits!

Sal has had some of the longest, slowest swings that I've seen all year tonight.

That was a perfect situation for a squeeze. Leave yourself in position for a walk off RBI in the 9th. We may not have another baserunner

I wish we would have pulled him, brought in dyson and put the squeeze on.

Of all people Billy made it safe on first on strike out ball dropped.

He deserves Buckner-level derision after that shit.

You guys don't have pinch hitters to bat for those last two guys?

Salvador Perez's strikeout was -.189 WPA. Omar Infante's was -.168. Rare to see consecutive negative plays that big.

how does a team that loves to bunt not bunt there

Yosted

I meant the nickname.

What is WPA?

Yeah, it's mind bottling isn't it?

**** that weak NL shit.

PFFFFTT!!!

Gone is the strike zone again

Whoosh.

"how is that not a strike"

**** you idiot, it's about winning

Yeah, he struck out pretty bad.

Win probability added

At least there is no chance Sal will get a huge AB in the 9th.

Of course Holland will have to put his usual 2 men on before getting out of the inning.

Will one of you Yost lovers tell me why we aren't saving "Holly?" Wadey only threw 7 pitches in the 8th.

So if we pinch hit who should it be?

Get out of this inning bitches.

He's a kid, and wasn't well coached there IMO. First, I maintain he should have bunted... Second, doesn't matter, they should have bunted him. Gore on third, and one out! Really!

Can we please keep him in the park here

Save him for what? Wtf? LMAO

**** Brandon Moss

Ned cost us so badly. I'm not even mad, I'm just depressed.

Was Yost at the plate swinging at nothing? They have shitty hitting plain and simple. The team sucks more that they are good.

Who the **** is Brandon Moss anyway

NL sucks baskets more than AL...good luck with the 20th century style...STFU

This

Read the comment before you dumb ****

Um, Sal is not having a good night. JFC.

I know this might be stupid but colon than have Dyson pinch run for him

Had it of been a guy that can handle the bat? OK

But Sal! Bunting we have never seen and it might have been worst than him swing at 3 breaking balls out of the zone.

I blame Sal. His at bat was worse than Neds decision IMO. You can make an argument defending Ned's decision. You can't defend that at bat.

Jesus....is Perez buckling under the pressure?

Did Ned replace the guy who, as everyone expected, displayed abysmal plate discipline?

I told you ****ers before the 8th to have a little ****ing faith. I am askin you to have some now. BELIEVE IN SOMETHING DAMN IT

Kryptonite apparently.

.234

You forget who our ****ing manager is

All we needed was a fly ball. That is going to be hard to swallow.

He problem is, Salvy's plate discipline problems are nothing new. His backup is a veteran who could at least lay down a bunt.
