Double play. Still got through the whole lineup in the first inning. Why can't we play the Royals every day?
Throw 'em the heater Ricky.
Seems like Austin Jackson has more hits up the middle this season than he had all last season.
I want that - what he did to get Eldred out there - to be the official signal for Valverde, the signal for "the big dude". Great moment.
It has become apparent that we will need another starting arm at the trading deadline unless Scherzer and Porcello can get their stuff together. I think the hitting will come into form as the season goes on and we get Victor back.
being back is not a factor unless we make the playoffs. He just got out of his brace this week. September is pushing it.
Meh, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in early August.
I have never seen the catch on the bounce off the wall before.
Now hopefully they get onto a roll after the recent stumbling.
Ball bounces off the top of the fence and goes almost sideways; Jackson catches it over the fence on the hop. Ruling is a double.
I think having Monday off was big for them. Instead of going right from that series in NY and playing another series, they had a whole day to sit around and get ready for the Royals. I am sure they heard plenty about dropping 8 of 10 from Sunday to Tuesday.
Then again I could just be thinking this because they went out and won.
And this happened!
