to be fair, he had one of the worst swings of the game on that pitch in the dirt

How about those swings by 3 consecutive hitters with bases juiced. All quality ABs

Two games in a row now.  Key spot late in a game with the bases loaded and no outs.  And they get nothing.  This is not just a bullpen issue.

They handed the bullpen a lead, late.

Ump's strike zone is outrageous. But, hey...the Royals know to take out a guy when he doesn't have it in a close game. 

Would've put Gordon in to run when Sanchez was standing on second.

He held up to make sure the ball was going to fall in.

Also, like, most teams from little league on up can score with bases loaded nobody out

Well, I think it is both a bullpen issue and an offense issue. Not getting runners in from third base with less than two out really is telling.

And the offense has loaded the bases with no outs and got nothing.  Late.

TD owner surly will write an article about "Manager of the Year Rocco" and his brilliant decisions leading to a blown lead to the Royals and PH a guy (with the bases loaded no less) with a sub .600 OPS after this game, right?

And I ask again...how does Sanchez not score on a single to left center? 

A smart manager would have pinch run Gordon for Sanchez instead of using him as a pinch hitter.

Seriously, what are we doing? We gave this way by refusing to pull Duffey, and then again by rostering a "fan favorite" who isn't a good baseball player because we're worried about the 1.1 SS being unable to adjust to 2nd or 3rd base. Just pathetic by the front office and by Rocco. 

Total System Failure!!!!!!!!

You want bases loaded bunts? Really?

It's not like swinging away has been all that successful either though! :)

Gary Sanchez was on third. You really want bunts? 

I was being sarcastic!  Partially anyway because what I said was true.

Hence the smiley face!
