Do I dare watch this on mlb.com or do I just read the comments here?

[rileyroy]

Forgiven

[Aggies7]

Wow garver, thought that was a SB all the way

[Don Walcott]

Garver with an unforgivable day at the plate.

I forgive him.

[Aggies7]

He MIGHT have been safe?

[VATwinsFan]

#2 and 3 hitters coming up with no outs and you try to steal? If you insist.

 

I'll take it.

[bighat]

No challenge from KC there? Nice throw by Garver. As Dick said, he's probably had his worst day in the majors at the plate today.

[VATwinsFan]

Romero with 4 hits, no runs , no walks, 8 Ks in 8 innings today.

[bighat]

 

 

I really, really, really don’t want Rodney back next year.

 

Me neither. I don't care if he gets the job done most of the time. I'm sick of him walking the bases loaded, going to 3-2 counts, etc. I miss those "boring" closers who simply get 3 ground ball outs in the 9th.

[yarnivek1972]

97?!

 

Where’s that coming from?

[yarnivek1972]

Me neither. I don't care if he gets the job done most of the time. I'm sick of him walking the bases loaded, going to 3-2 counts, etc. I miss those "boring" closers who simply get 3 ground ball outs in the 9th.

Where have you gone Rick Aguilera?

[rileyroy]

Romero with 4 hits, no runs , no walks, 8 Ks in 8 innings today.

[tvagle]

Give Duda the GS FRE (Golden Sombrero)

[rileyroy]

Thought he was on an innings count

[Circus Boy]

 

Where have you gone Rick Aguilera?

Lemme guess -- you misspelled Rick?

[ashbury]

Garver with an unforgivable day at the plate.

Give him his due for a nice CS, though.

[mrmpls]

Whats next - Passed ball ??

[Aggies7]

This guy simply is not good enough.

[ashbury]

Me neither. I don't care if he gets the job done most of the time. I'm sick of him walking the bases loaded, going to 3-2 counts, etc.

Rodney is the only major league reliever who's on a pitch count.

[Danchat]

I think the Royals would have a tie game if Merrifield doesn't try to steal.

 

Oh, and that Duda shift is ridiculous.

[yarnivek1972]

Lemme guess -- you misspelled Rick?

Actually, I missed the “ne” in gone.

[mrmpls]

Rodney= never a dull moment

[yarnivek1972]

Sigh, again

[VATwinsFan]

Yay

[Blake]

 

[ashbury]

Woo! Chicken dinner!

 

Cutting it too close, though.

[bighat]

Fernando "Don't Get Too Comfortable" Rodney with the save.

Nice play by Sano there.

[Don Walcott]

Nice play, Sano! Winnah!!

[tvagle]

Kindeling...kindling...kindaling....whatever it is FRE went all TMNT on Herrera there....Splinters!

[Danchat]

Wow. Rodney's saves always go down to the wire, don't they?
