Dick Allen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 04:06 PM) It's not Mr. Peabody here. Anyone who follows baseball...95% of them...would have done the same thing if presented with the exact same scenario. And there is no guarantee Downs would have retired Moose or that moose would have batted at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I hate when guys swing and miss and ask the umpire if it was a strike. It is admitting you don't know the zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 On paper, the Royals are so much better than the White Sox, the Sox deserve a grade of A for keeping this game this close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 The Royals have a much better bullpen at the back end. Davis was terrible today, but it was his fourth game in a row out there and he was clearly tired and struggling. They're still missing Coleman.

Semien down for more seasoning. QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 10:11 PM) I think the Sox have hit one ball in the last two games that went farther than 300 feet. That is scary. As we all know our best teams have been HR hitting teams. MLB is like college baseball now. Not many bombs.

Seriously. On paper, it was a move that can be ridiculed over and over with Moose hitting .000. The Royals probably would have pinch hit that former Twin they've picked up who is going to platoon with Moose soon if Moose keeps this up.

caulfield12 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 5, 2014 -> 03:11 PM) So you just want him to play it by the book. Instead of facing the best hitting catcher in the game with someone who clearly struggled with his command the last time out and doesn't have much of a breaking pitch, YES. You can go against the book when you're actually proven to have the instincts to do so, like Joe Maddon. If they bring in a RH hitter to PH, then you have Belisario. Pedro Ciriaco or Danny Valencia against him....or Perez/Cleto??? How is that even a choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not concerning, right? Swinging at everything usually catches up to a hitter with a 1-for-30 in there somewhere. Then again, Dunn draws walks and isn't exactly a good MLB hitter. Maybe Abreu will be fine, but you need to draw some walks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
