elrockinMT Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) I know we somehow won last night but have you noticed Sox have cured the Royals' hitting slump? They hadn't been hitting at all. What's with all these Royals fans at the Cell? Embarrassing. Good point. Now today we are slumping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 07:00 PM) The bunt was not bad. It advanced two runners. Melky does not hit Duffy very well. But, Garcia didn't have his head in the game Some managers never bunt. Bunting is always bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalSox Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jun 11, 2016 -> 12:23 PM) All because we bunted in the first inning... It's a shame that bunt cost them all 3 outs in the inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Royals were smart enough to put Duffy back in the starting rotation. He'll dominate this division for years. Teams like the Sox can't hit a guy like Duffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Duffy in a groove now. Looking pretty sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 (edited) I thought Duffy was pitching Sunday. Did Royals pitch him today cause they knew he'd end the losing streak? Smart move. Q might have beaten whatever stiff they were going to pitch. It's possible anyway. We're 2-5 a lousy KC team this year Royals had five home runs in last nine games, lol.

caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Duffy has the lowest opponent ERA at USCF, 1.5ish. Cris Carpenter of StL, second. Seems Cabrera was bunting on his own, but you don't want to put the bat in Frazier's hands right now, even though Melky doesn't hit that well as a RHB. Coats still doesn't have a hit. Avi with some bad baserunning. Clock is ticking. Quintana has something like only 0-1 run scored for him in 5 consecutive. That hasn't happened since 1993 in the majors. Two fly ball homers probably would have been outs 90% of the time if not for the weather conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're 2-5 a lousy KC team this year Royals had five home runs in last nine games, lol. Yeah, yesterday was the first time in a week they scored more than 1. Chris Young was originally scheduled to pitch, but he was passed over...Ventura tmrw. Quintana had only surrendered two homers all year, two more today. Bad luck, as they should have been outs but they still count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew we'd give them their ninth loss in a row so they switch to Duffy. they just didn't take the L for granted and did something about it against their rival. Sad we don't shoiw such fight.
