7/14 KC @ Sox 1:25PM ET

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Yankees blow a 5-3 lead after Kimbrel blew the save in the 9th. Birds win 6-5. Terrible L by the Yankees

 

 

Terrible loss by Yankems? Hell, no. All their losses are glorious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

That ball was screaming when it left Bello's hand.

[Old Red]

BIG Baby Bello has been knocked around all afternoon. Luckily only 3 runs so far.

[d-money]

Again no lead is safe with Bello. This offense has stopped hitting. They need this game.

[Maxbialystock]

Not turning DP's are errors that don't register as errors.

 

Meh. I don't know what the announcers said, but I didn't see much lag time in those uncompleted double plays.

[Maxbialystock]

Again no lead is safe with Bello. This offense has stopped hitting. They need this game.

 

I see it differently. Bello had a quality start before he came out for the 7th inning.

Still gives up too many hits. KC has been terrible with runners on.

3 runs in 6 innings is a quality start.

[Maxbialystock]

Still gives up too many hits. KC has been terrible with runners on.

 

The solo dinger in the 1st and then a bunch of singles. Given Bello's ERA (over 5), I honestly don't understand why you are griping.

 

This is a big game, and beyond question Bello came through with a workmanlike start.

[Maxbialystock]

You want something to gripe about? Look at that at bat by O'Neill, who took a called 3d strike in the middle of the strike zone, and he had the advantage, righty bat vs lefty pitcher.

Dominic Smith has been huge today

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

It's important that Casas takes as much time as he needs. Edited July 14, 2024 by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

Great at bat and huge rbi single by Smith, lefty bat vs lefty pitcher!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Dom has been money in the bank the last couple of weeks.

[Maxbialystock]

It's important that Casas take as much time as he needs.

 

Actually, it is. There was/is no treatment for his injury. Plus it was caused by swinging a bat.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Kenley Ken!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Actually, it is. There was/is no treatment for his injury. Plus it was caused by swinging a bat.

 

Yup. No point in coming back too early just to re-injure it again.

[Maxbialystock]

Jansen going for the 2 inning save. Earlier in the season I basically said he was pathetic, not because he couldn't get guys out--because he could. I just didn't like that he throws a whole lot of cutters.

 

And he just struck out the side in the 8th. My goodness gracious.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

SOX 1 & 2 batters are 7-10. That's not bad.

[Maxbialystock]

Who is that masked man behind the plate for the Royals? He got Hamilton and Duran, both of them by a mile.

IMHO, Kenley is as good a closer as anyone in MLB this season. He doesn't always get it done quickly, but he does get it done.

Casas is going to the All-Star Game!

 

... as an announcer.

 

ps: he can never hurt his mouth, talking too hard.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Hamilton!

[Maxbialystock]

Way to go Gonzalez, you dipstick.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Blocking the bag? Give me a break.

[d-money]

Ridiculous. Here we go.

[Jasonbay44]

What a throw by Rafaela. Horrendous base running by Royals

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

See above.

[Maxbialystock]

Ball game!!!!

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

What a throw by Rafaela. Horrendous base running by Royals

 

 

Yes on both.
