Like to see Naquin and Chiz in there against right handers--Almonte can't play in the post season, so why give him so many at bats.

Davis with a 3 run bomb. Albers terrible too

Yep. Get Almonte the F out of the way. His baseball I Q hovers right around ZERO.

Dumb ass bats .265 on dope, and .275 not on dope.

Some doper s are just dopes.

End of this rant.

We are running into outs all over the damn place the last 2 nights. Gimenez trying to go 1st to 3rd on a single to left and he's toast. Should be 1st and 2nd...nobody out.

Now it's man on 2nd with 1 out.

There's a difference between being "aggressive" and 'fucking dumb" on the base paths.

Jesus Christ. Kipnis throw out at the plate for the 2nd out. This guy can't get people out and we're giving him free outs.

Regardless...we take the lead 5-4 and Lindor in scoring position. Nap coming up after a pitching change.

The running into outs is pissing me off tonight as well, but the two throws to get Kipnis out at home were great.

Weird game. McA thinks he is in goal tonight.

Weird game is right but we have the lead heading to the 7th.

Shaw in vs the top of the order.

Haven't been very many easy innings tonight for pitchers on either side.

Borderline but got the call. Changed the entire at bat. Nice pickup.

Underrated how a single borderline pitch can change the course of a whole inning.

Who is coming out for the 8th? Cody isn't available...I'm assuming Miller for the 9th. Gonna try to get 2 out of Shaw?

Around the league...the Tigers have scored 8 runs in the last 3 innings to turn 3 run deficit into an 8-4 laugher.

JaCoby Jones has 2 hits and 2 RBIs in his Major League debut.

Royals trail 4-2.

I was just getting ready to post this. Probably Shaw and if he runs into trouble It is Miller Time.

Shaw spots Miller the 1st out of the 8th. It'll be Miller for 5 outs tonight.
