  Two guys on let's go Hannahan

  I agree about pinch hitting for Hafner. Dumb move imo.
• OQB

  

  ^^haha!
  
  We need to be taking advantage of all these walks tonight!

  Exactly....it's nice knowing you have a shot at winning every night you take the field! Go Tribe!
  
  Hanahan is due!

  Yeah you take advantage by making contact with the bat and ball, not pinch running for your hottest hitter and then having your players strike out.

  Damn it!

  Our bats are dead right now...we need a couple guys to get back to back hits to get it going again.

  Someone..Buster Olney or Tim Kurkijan, said something about the Royals being two years away from World Series contenders because of the young guys in the bigs and their talent in the farm. Hyperbole..maybe, but you can see the stuff the last 2 guys they have brought in have. Both hit 96/97 easy and will be solid backend bullpen guys with Soria in the future.

  Don't groove a 3-1 to this guy
• iclfan2

  

  How do we mess up a routine ground ball to 2nd?
• Laley23

  

  This inning isnt going well. Perez versus Kila Ka'ahuie is a good match-up for us though.
• Laley23

  

  haha, WTF is going on!
• grodt

  

  Holy shit
  
  How do they not call that when they give that phantom tag on double plays all the time?
• TBone14

  

  What in the hell is going on?
• OQB

  

  Wierd play!
• Laley23

  

  What a pick by Cabrera on that HORRIBLE throw by LaPorta (horrible inning for him lol)
• wildcats20

  

  Did they call him safe at 2nd?
• OQB

  

  Matt LaPorta needs to work on his throws to second...man that is twice now this season where the Cabrera's had to make a big time play just to catch the ball. That should've been an inning ending douuble play.

  yes. Then Butler walked off the bag, and Asdrubal subtly motioned for the ball back to him and they called Butler out.

  Initially yes, but the runner didn't realize it and wandered off the bag and we tagged him out.
