That wasn't really a hard slide, Infante just has the athleticism of a 55 year old.

Duffy looking good. Had two opportunities to fall apart like usual and so far he has bounced back well. Solo shots are fine.

For how small the dude is you'd think he'd be a fast mofo and a dart down the line. Not the case.

I would have preferred a wicked line drive in the gap for a double. Seems Cain is the only one who can do that for some reason.

Pfft...it scored a run. Lots of ground balls go for hits, and lots of well-hit balls go for outs. Baseball.
And, if that was a seeing-eye single, then every grounder through the infield is "seeing-eye."

From our backup catcher?

The offense is

C3HIEF3S · 07-05-2015, 01:12 PM

Hosmer with another two-hopper to the right side of the infield, amazing.

C3HIEF3S · 07-05-2015, 01:14 PM

Hell of a throw there, Duff

Brutal to watch right now. Getting tied up on anything middle-in, and not driving anything the opposite way middle-away.

from anyone at this point besides Cain, I don't care who from. Backup catcher, Gordon, Moose, Hos, Kendrys, Esky....we've done nothing outside of a single up the middle and a blooper by Cain that took a great play to catch....other than that....shit, total shit

This being last in the MLB in homers is getting frustrating again. Sometimes you just need a big smash.

and that's where his ****ing power is. It's amazing to see him drive balls to center and left. When he wants to he does it better than anyone. But he just pulls everything and we know what the results of that are.

If you're scoring at home, that's now 65 grounders in Hosmer's last 147 at bats. #Royals
