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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
