The Ginger Kid Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I hope his persistence in starting Keppinger and hitting him 2nd finally starts to pay off. Because I'm so f***ing sick of that guy already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckham wasn't his usual reliable self in the week before he got hurt either. Hell, Keppinger has a higher fielding %age right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) HUGE GAME. Royals have won 7/8 and 13/17 in Kansas City. They're largely responsible for knocking us out of the playoffs in 2012. If Shields beats our ace in Sale, they're sending a message to all of baseball they're going to be a force to contend with (especially at home) all season long. Likewise, a Sox loss puts us 7 GB and in serious jeopardy of the entire season going south with Harvey looming tmrw night...licking his lips simply savoring the chance to face one of the worst offenses in MLB. A buzz is starting to emerge around the Royals. They had six different media outlets at a game last night for the first time in ages. The Chiefs are terrible...and fans are starting to believe in them. Edited May 6, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals could win today, send this huge message, and then go on a 10 game losing skid and no one would think anything about this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 6, 2013 Author Share Posted May 6, 2013 Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales 10s Royals have 4 LH hitters in their lineup. Lefties 1-for-29 (.034) vs. Sale this season, acc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I really just want to see the Sox start playing good baseball. If they pitch well, play solid D and get some timely hits but still lose, I can live with it. Watching them beat themselves is gut-wrenching. To me, that's what makes fans turn away....how they lose.

I'll make you a bet right now. If the Royals win this game, they go on to finish at least 5 games over .500 and in 2nd place in the AL Central this season. Care to wager?

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 We keep hearing how there's no "momentum" in baseball, but there's certainly some type of carryover effect in play here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said they could easily lose 10 games in a row. (That happened last year, at home, in April). I don't believe it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a game against one of the worst teams in the AL with an injured roster matter so much for the rest of the year? It's not like they have some awful pitcher going for them either.
