Series Thread: Kansas City Royals vs Baltimore Orioles

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Nelson Cruz is slow


Orioles will kill themselves if they lose this game


Cant seem to get that one hit to blow it open


17 baserunners, only 5 runs

Completely different strike zones when O's are pitching as to when they are batting.

This ump has been fine

 

[jeffro151]

lol dyson!!!!

That's what happens when you shave 'Zoom' into your head like a clown.

 

[mr.hockey4242]

Now that was a shaky call lol.

That's called homerism. Every call against your team is a bad call, and every call against the other team is a good call.

That was way inside....not borderline

 

[jeffro151]

That pitch to Cain was no further inside than the pitch that Hardy struck out on.

Cmon man don't be ridiculous.

I was hoping the Royals could win it all, but this Baltimore team is looking like they are gonna be hard to put away.

You must be blind. They showed kzone for both of those calls and the hardy pitch was borderline while the pitch to cain was much further inside

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

The Angels and As are two of the absolute worst teams against a running team
Baltimore is one of the best at containing a running team.


That is arguably their best defensive strength.


KC is a great running team, but they are not going to have it as easy versus the Baltimore run defense.


They will get some stolen bases as they cannot be completely contained, but it will not be anywhere as easy as the first two opponents.

Finally calling the game even behind the plate

He pushed his leg right off...actually a smart play by Baltimore...might have even had that planned pregame on dyson or gore overslides

Homerism is a blindness.

 

[jeffro151]

Homerism is a blindness.

So is douchebagness, and you take the cake in that department!

 

[mad4comp]

I think that swipe by Schoop was planned... If you watched Pearce earlier, he did the exact same thing, forcefully swiping over the runners hand.

Good gameplan.

I was getting ready to say something about that. It wasn't as blatant as Hrbek's, but it did look like his leg was pushed off the base
