Just got back from the game. Wanted to see us get 20 hits but understand why we took the foot off the gas a little. Getting some of our starters some rest against a good team is important...and a gift really. That 6th inning was a doozy. Had to piss, we had 2 outs and I was waiting to go make a quick exit for the men's room mid inning but we just kept hitting and scoring in guys from 2nd, bout pissed my pants.
Chris Young pitched great...looked to have control all night he was pitching a lot of strikes. Didn't seem like he pitched that much when Ned yanked him but I think he was up at 91 pitches when he left. Good contact pitcher that lets the defense work, and when you have the best defense in baseball good things will usually happen. Other than the mishap in right center the defense played great. It looked like Cain had it (it was a hard catch to make, but nothing Cain probably couldn't handle) but neither outfielder called the other one off. It happens, can't remember if that play lead to their 1 run or not but either way at least it wasn't a bigger problem than it was.
Morales hit into the shift multiple times again tonight. He needs to hit it to the other side of the field, teams are playing his pull all night long. He did hit it the other way in that 6th inning and I think had another hit after that. Maybe I'm looking for something to bitch about considering we played great tonight, it's just frustrating as hell to watch it happen.
Moose and Cain played like All-Stars tonight. Having a good hitting Moose and Hosmer is absolutely huge for this team. They need these guys to have breakout seasons if they're going to win the division.
I didn't like the pitching matchup tonight. But we came away w/ a dominant win once we started hitting Pineda. He only had 1 strikeout and let up 5 ER and we gave the bastard his first loss of the season. ESPN baseball tonight sucking NYY bullpen's cock on Thurs. One of there on set guys said Royals are still best 'pen in baseball but they were sucking the NYY cock w/ putting their BP stats on the screen, spewing all of their overrated crap. We murdered their 'pen tonight. Morales was great as the long reliever as well.
Beautiful night...thought it was gonna rain but it didn't. Great breeze whippin' through the stadium esp in that upper concourse area. Great Fireworks, great BJ in the car on the way home. Great night overall.
