Stupid camera well.  that was playable if they aren't there.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

Oh look...yet another flare that is within reach of the Royals.  Nothing seems to find a hole against them.

Bit of karma on Perez' at bat there.

Estrada:

That was poor from Donaldson, not something that's been said a lot this year.

3-0 swing = not good.

 

[L K]

Escobar......come on.  Then a huge double play to get Escobar and Zobrist.

 

[herman]

Yeah, boy.

3-0 swing = not good.

3-0 swing = not good when it doesn't work. Players like Donaldson and Bautista generally have the green light considering chances are they're getting a fastball right up the middle.

 

[Joe S.]

That's great and all but they need baserunners. I don't care who is at bat because they have all been useless this series.

 

[L K]

I'm concerned at this point that Gibbons is going to find a way to pull Estrada off a single/walk.

I was thinking that too, at the same time, I don't want him giving Estrada the rope he gave Price and Dickey when they got in trouble.

 

[L K]

Estrada through 6 innings. We don't have Cecil so honestly I don't really see Sanchez as an improvement against the lefties.

Just spitballing when Volquez is dominating the Jays hitters for a 2nd game.  Got busted for a prohibited substance in 2010.  He throws a 94-95MPH fastball all year (highest it has been since 2010) and is now hitting 97 and touched 98 MPH a few times.  That hairline though.

Gibbons has Price up in the bullpen....mistake.

 

[L K]

Wow.  Bases loaded with nobody out.  Revere (walk).  Donaldson (HBP).  Bautista (11 pitch walk).

I was wondering about this when Volquez hit 98 several times early on.

Perhaps he was taking something off to save his arm in the regular season?

 

[L K]

Walks in a run  2-0.  Bases loaded.  Nobody out!  Volquez is done.

 

[Joe S.]

They stopped calling that outside pitch.

And here comes 100mph Herrera so a double play and a strike out.

 

[herman]

I just want to see the bottom of our order single the Royals to submission.
