Billy got like 8" of air there.

I believe Hosmer would have had that one if he was in the same position Butler was

Lets throw a 0-2 fastball right down the middle.

Oh yea, no one. You pull him there, he gains nothing but the idea that a manager doesn't have confidence in him. He goes on to lose, he now learns what he needs to work on. Last thing you want is a closer who feels on a short leash early in the season. If it happens a few more times, then you look at other options. But not in a closer's second outing.

I mean really, do some of you even watch baseball for an entire year?

Seriously, what manager keeps his so-called named closer in for 3 straight walks in the last inning with only a 2 run lead thus loading the bases(with no outs), ON THE ROAD, knowing(obviously he doesn't) his team has an already weak ass psyche(that is not strong enough to get past a weak start) coming off the previous year/years sitting at 1-3 knowing at this point, WINS (no matter how ugly they are) are A MUST thus a 'conservative' managerial strategy IS ESSENTIAL AT THIS POINT until the team can fly out of the nest psychologically(not to piss on their own shoes when adversity hits) on their own.

Holland needs to produce or be gone. There is no time for coddling the psyche to the point of losing when it didn't need to take place ESPECIALLY for a very weak ego team that needs all the confidence early on it can get. The Royals don't have that 'winner's moxy' ego yet to afford and endure 1 player pissing it all away just for the sake of learning what he needs to work on ? Seriously ??

Yost is not reading the psychological context of his team correctly here and 'thinks' he has the team ego that can afford to go 1-4. WRONG !!!

I have no ****ing clue what stupid argument you are making because the first paragraph is all one ****ing sentence. ROFL Nice work reerun.

And since you seem to watch sooooooooooo much baseball, you probably know that we actually have two wins. We are 2-3 you dumbass. Get back to the DC, you don't know shit here.

Damn Shields hitting 95.

Way to work out of it Shields

Those last 9 pitches from Shields were nasty.

Who brought all the idiots out from DC?
