Kansas City fell into riots tonight as the Royals managed to win a baseball game.
Also what this means, of course one can never guess with Yost, is that Getz will be the lead-off man for the next several games.

It looked to me like Rodriguez threw up the stop sign before Choo even picked the ball up on the track, because Moose was throttling down on his way into third.

If he had the arm swinging the whole way, I’m convinced Moose would have been two strides down the third base line before Choo even released the ball. So the ball would have been cutoff and there wouldn’t even been a play at the plate. It was appalling. And it cost them the chance to tie the game up in the ninth.

Sanchez was only able to run about 4 our of his last 30 pitches up over 85 mph, and i think one of them almost took one of the Indian’s head off.

I feel like he’s hurt or will end up with a mystery trip to the DL, but then again who’s going to replace him and do they really care if they ruin his arm. He feels like Meche all over except the Giants got the 2 good seasons and the Royals just get to finish the destruction of his elbow/shoulder/career.

My take on the streak is, they “should be at about 6 wins,” they’re playing bad and the guys that need to make big plays are not. However, I pretty much blame Yost for the 3 game difference with a combo of bunts(free outs)/stupid bullpen use/no feel at all for when a pitcher is in trouble/ and bad lineups.

(Mostly, that first one against the A’s when we’re rolling 2 wins vs an assumed power house team and he’s like oh hey Gordon you know you’ve sucked right? I bet you where all like hey it’s just 3 games no big deal, well guess what it’s a big deal, go sit and think about it, and just remember when you get back in the lineup, you hit or you sit…. no pressure)

Yeah, we were really winning big when White was in the booth. Makes perfect sense.

My final decision on this losing streak is that this is all karma for what happened with Frank White.

Go to the website didtheroyalswinlastnight.com. It is very fitting and simple. Hopefully we’ll see what it looks like when the answer is yes.

Sanchez FB velocity and lack of use makes me think the certain trip to the DL will be medically warranted, not just a reaction to the results.
