At home to play the defending AL Champs Royals

[Justinkm83]

I'd prefer to expect Elvis to execute with a bat. No reason he shouldn't be trying to take the ball to second base there.

Why? He's not a good hitter. I'd expect him to be able to get ANY bunt down as opposed to a ball to the OF or through a hole.

 

[Justinkm83]

You're right but he may have been signaled to swing away

That's true.

Who said anything about getting a ball into the OF? Just swat the ball to the ride side of the pitcher and he scores.

Congrats on your golden sombrero Pegs. Guess where you're headed in two weeks?

that would be fine but he tried to pull the ball

The IF was in, so getting a ball to the right side of the pitcher doesn't mean he'd score. Do you really think EA has a better chance of directing a hit instead of getting ANY bunt down? What he did at the plate kind of proves my point. He swung at the pitcher's pitch. Ventura threw it inside and EA wasted no time.

That's been exactly my point.

Just saying it's not easy to drop a bunt on a guy pumping fastballs in at 97.

When will we learn, Hosmer is hunting the first pitch fastball.

Wait for the curve that he's hung all night.

Oh well. Elvis screwed it up. We're still in good shape.

My point he has been making a habit of costly screw ups

 

[Justinkm83]

C'mon Detwiler. This would be a great series win. I said before the series started that I liked the pitching match-ups. I think we've had success against Guthrie in the past. I think the offense is going to have to show up big time tomorrow.

 

[romeo212000]

Feliz got lucky with Hosmer and Morales there. Morales ball is out if it's 20 degrees warmer.

There's no question about that. I hope Profar eventually takes the reigns. Wishful thinking, I know. We haven't had a SS with pop since MY gave his spot up.

Long balls like that is not the way I like seeing him close

 

[DT LUNA]

Damn. I'll be in the dentist chair at game time

We may still need him at second base.

 

[Justinkm83]

We may still need him at second base.

God I hope not. Profar might not be able to make the throw anymore from SS. Who knows with this kid.

 

[Justinkm83]

I'm ready to see Hollands name in the rotation instead of Detwiler.

Throwing shouldn't be a problem once he's healed.
