GDT(1/4): Kansas City Royals @ Toronto Blue Jays - Shields vs. Dickey - 7:07 PM ET

[Caper]

f***ing melky cost us a run now

 

No he didn't. Melky got us two runs. He changed the space time continuum.

[Solaxys]

How many is that this month?

 

16 I think; 17 is record. 20 is record for highest across any month.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Huge inning here for the pen.

 

Quick inning please. Is Janssen available?

[MrMariusz]

That's true. But he WAS coming off a CY Young season where he lost what? 5 times? With an ERA under 3? I'm not expecting him to be Roy' date=' but I do expect him not to s*** the bed when the team has won 9 in a row, and he's facing the weakest hitting team in the league.[/quote']

 

He gets unbelievable scrutiny because some people simply do not like the knuckleball. Fact is, other top 3 starters have average seasons all the time, and they do blow up once or more a month. Look at Shields today, gave up a bunch of homeruns on few hits, are people on the Royals forum now telling him to pack his bags?

 

Gibbons is an idiot though for failing to recognize that RA can get rattled, and when he does, hes not likely to recover. If the bullpen is available, use it. Its not because he is a knuckleballer that he has to throw 120+ pitches every time out. Not getting pulled in time puts him at a disadvantage vs "traditional" pitchers who are on a much shorter leash.

[Anemic0ffense]

Rasmussen?

[Trouba95]

Sucks we have no bullpen...

[o2cui2i]

angel Hernandez thinks he made a bad call on the Aoki HBP and tried to make up for it after the jays got the lead back

[Doc]

Put the rookie in a 1 run game smart!!

[Inklink]

Rasmussen?

 

Probably for 1 batter again? LOL

 

Gets the K!

[AdamDunnHatesBaseball]

Edwin can only carry this team for so long.

[Orgfiller]

SSS, but I've liked Rasmussen's stuff so far.

[Solaxys]

Oooo Rasmussen. Hot.

[Dylan]

Is the sky no longer falling?

 

That is great news.

[Inklink]

They're going to start walking EE anytime now.

Is there seriously no accountability for umpires and their strike zone awareness? I know #roboumps is a pipe dream, but shouldn't umpires being terrible result in like... some sort of punishment? suspension? firing? SOMETHING to make these fat f***s accountable for their utter terribleness?

[Atothe]

This kid is golden

[Trouba95]

95 from Rasmussen on the FB.

[o2cui2i]

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Rasmussen throws 95?

 

Damn son

[Inklink]

Damn Reyes.

[TwistedLogic]

16 I think; 17 is record. 20 is record for highest across any month.

 

Edwin still put himself in the record books with that blast:

Most home runs for an American League player in May (tied with Mantle)

[SpeedyGose]
