Game 2 Overflow Thread

The Royals finally showed some offensive life in the sixth, taking a 2-0 lead and forcing Rogers out of the game.

Through six plus, Brian Bannister has been the Banny we all expected: throwing strikes, somehow avoiding hits, being efficient. He's also struck out four, which isn't awesome, but isn't half bad either. It's not like he's had zero Ks today. 

We go to the eighth.

No

Slapped into the LF corner

by jonfmorse on Apr 2, 2008 3:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Slap double down the LF line

I probably disagree with you.

Gator with 1.25 OPS in April.

Hooray for arbitrarily looking at stats!

Before the end of the inning if possible.

Hopefully we bunt

Get Grudz in scoring position.

while he's trying to leg out a triple

Delicious

Passed ball walk, Gathright to third

I probably disagree with you.

I'm gonna say it

I smell an insurance run

I probably disagree with you.

Nice grit from Grudz

Making that pitch get away from Rodriguez!

For all our maligning of Rogers

He didn't do too badly, even if he is in position to take the L.

I think the only way Detroit can

get rid of Grud, is to get him to say his name backwards.

Can't argue with that strike 3 call

I probably disagree with you.

Gordon...

not a good day. If not for that HR yesterday...

by mazoboom on Apr 2, 2008 3:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I just remind myself

That Brett sucked for over a year, too.

by jonfmorse on Apr 2, 2008 3:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

they continue

to pound the outside corner and gordon continues to try to pull it/ not swing... 5k's in 2 games

swung

I probably disagree with you.

by NYRoyal on Apr 2, 2008 3:07 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

My mistake

Took strike three down the middle

I probably disagree with you.

by NYRoyal on Apr 2, 2008 3:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Has he struck out

swinging yet? Haven't all five been looking?

Come on. Zerou outs with Gator on third.

A squeeze would have got him in.

Butler does it again

"Bill the Thrill" as Teahen calls him

I probably disagree with you.

by NYRoyal on Apr 2, 2008 3:10 PM EDT   0 recs

BILLY PICKS US UP!

He should be hitting third with Gordo 5th. Butler is the better pure hitter, while Gordo provides the power.

butler in a rundown!

what is this? the circus

by KC Masterpiece on Apr 2, 2008 3:11 PM EDT   0 recs

So..

You endorse him trying to get to third there in that situation?

by KCctrell85 on Apr 2, 2008 3:12 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Actually, yes.

The throw should be going home, so he can take third. If him going to third induces a cutoff which insures the run scores, then so much the better.

I probably disagree with you.

by NYRoyal on Apr 2, 2008 3:13 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Fair enough.

This takes into account that there is a chance to get the guy at home correct?

by KCctrell85 on Apr 2, 2008 3:15 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The other problem is that Grudz stuttered coming around third

He'd have been out at the plate if the throw came through.

No way of knowing whether Billy SAW that, of course.

by jonfmorse on Apr 2, 2008 3:16 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

4-0.

Nice work, Rojales.

by CaptainDT on Apr 2, 2008 3:11 PM EDT   0 recs

Butler in the pickle

Benny "The Jet" would be proud.

Really sad how long it took the Tigers to get a slow guy like him out.
