we have LITERALLY 6 ****ing outs to score a run...like 95% of the time

if we're at home

and we're tied

heading into the 7th inning

we are literally HEAVY FAVORITES to win against ANY ****ING TEAM WE EVER PLAY this year

HEAVY

FAVORITES

Bullshit.

Lets presume we hold them scoreless through 11. Look at the last damned few days and count how many times we put two little harmless zeros together.

And you say we're 95%

No we weren't. You are either drunk, or driven temporarily mad.

Hootie · 08-28-2014, 10:21 PM

no, wrong

I NEVER ASSUME THIS TEAM IS GOING TO SCORE A RUN. EVER. PERIOD.

I do know that...

WE HAVE A BETTER ****ING SHOT OF WINNING AN EXTRA INNINGS GAME IF WE KEEP HOLDING THE OTHER TEAM SCORELESS AND KEEP GETTING 3 OUTS TO SCORE 1 RUN

AND BRUCE ****ING CHEN ISN'T GOING TO HOLD THE OTHER TEAM SCORELESS...

****

I WAS CROSSING MY FINGERS FOR HIM ONLY ALLOWING 1

If we're going to parade Bruce Chen out, in the 10th inning, in a pennant race because we don't want Wade Davis to run out of gas

here's a ****ing idea

let's just forfeit once we get that far

BECAUSE GOD ****ING FORBID BRUCE CHEN SERVES UP A BOMB TO LEFT FIELD THAT SENDS ALEX CRASHING INTO THE WALL AND BREAKS HIS ****ING NECK NEXT TIME

good ****ing grief

Willingham was dogshit tonight.

Obviously, if Davis is not available and Downs is apparently not available, the majority of the blame goes to Yost for mismanaging the bullpen. If you've got two guys unavailable, you have to let Frasor and/or Herrera and/or Holland and/or Bueno pitch more. None of those guys threw more than 15 pitches.

Completely inexcusable. Whether you agree with the decision that Davis was "not available" or not, you can't disagree that given the circumstances, Yost screwed the proverbial pooch tonight.

sure I can. Guthrie does not get extra credit for being bailed out by the offense, if he put together any sort of average outing, we win.

what the **** are you talking about?!??!?!?

LITERALLY

ONCE THIS GAME WAS TIED UP AFTER 7 INNINGS

WITH OUR REMAINING GUYS IN THE BULLPEN (HERRERA/DAVIS/HOLLAND)

we were HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY, HEAVY ****ing favorites to win the game

TWO OF THOSE GUYS HAVE ONLY PITCHED A COMBINED 50 ****ING INNINGS IN A ROW WITHOUT GIVING UP A SINGLE RUN AND THE OTHER ****ING GUY IS THE BEST ****ING CLOSER IN THE AL BY FAR

you said if the game played out how I wanted it to play out we were less than 50% to win the game

uhm

what?

what?

what?

what?

HOW

HOW?

My head is going to ****ing explode.

HEY NED

A CLOSER DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIMITED TO 3 ****ING OUTS...SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, IN A PENNANT RACE...YOU COULD PROBABLY GET AT LEAST 4 OR MAYBE EVEN 6

because 3 more outs in a tied game where 1 swing ends it isn't valuable or anything

ok mr.

THE ROYALS WERE LESS THAN 50% TO WIN WHEN THE GAME WAS 5-5 IN THE 7TH INNING

which is literally one of the dumbest things I've ever read from a guy who constantly talks about percentages and playing by the numbers

the same Willingham with a .780 OPS this year and a career .825 OPS

yeah uhm, no

newsflash

EVEN MIKE TROUT GOES 0 FOR SOMETIMES

Willingham needs every day at bats for this team IF ONLY BECAUSE HE'S THE ONLY ****ING GUY WILLING TO TAKE A WALK ON THIS ROSTER

I don't see how you could say that, given our failure to score after the 7th.

At best, we could have squeezed one more inning before we go to Chen.

Maybe they were demoralized in the 10th, but you are basically declaring that we were destined to score in the 10th if it was tied.

Al Bundy · 08-28-2014, 10:26 PM

Guthrie, Chen, Willingham.. all 3 of those guys were turds tonight.

It is a given that Wade Davis is unavailable.

So yes, we were less than 50/50.

Go to bed, you are drunk or mad.
