[scotty216brs]

Liriano is back in the rotation I see...

Is the KC/Cle game a make-up game? It isn't on Extra Innings.

I know, WTF. was hoping to watch Moose!

 

[Frow]

Just got home and see they put Gordon at leadoff and Dyson hitting 8th, wtf

 

[Russ S.]

Matt Kemp back in the lineup tonight.

 

[TGutta]

Liriano with his strongest game of the year so far. Still doesn't have the control you'd want to see but with 6 shutout innings so far it is a step in the right direction.

 

[Exposfan]

Matt Kemp back in the lineup tonight.

Yesterday,

 

[Russ S.]

Yesterday,

You are right. Missed that. :benson:

 

[Frow]

Wow...the only thing worse than these Cleveland relief pitchers is the Royals' batting with the bases loaded. Second time they've walked 2+ to load the bases and Butler just got the first rbi on a ground out.

Two innings with the bases loaded, get 1 run out of it and both innings ended by Franceur. What the hell man.

 

[Exposfan]

You are right. Missed that. :benson:

It was a fun listen, Ryan Braun booed loudly and Matt Kemp cheered!

 

[scotty216brs]

Can Viciedo be anymore on fire? 3-3 RBI R....BA now up to .293! And for those who might have forgot, just 2 weeks ago his BA was as low as .196....since that point he has gone 28 for 63 (.444) 8HR 23RBI ONLY 4 K's! Crazy...

Liriano is back in the rotation I see...

I was actually predicting a gem from him but wow, didn't think it would actually happen!

 

[MantMaris]

Darwin Barney with a 2 run walk-off HR. Cubs win.

 

[scotty216brs]

Middlebrooks with his 6th HR on a line shot barely over the green monster....looks like Gonzalez will be a permanent addition to RF as there is NO way Bobby V can take Middlebrooks out of the lineup.

Funny, as I just got an offer on ebay for my Gonzalez 2012 Bowman Buyback Auto RC. Wonder if they are thinking the same thing.

Lawrie with a HR as well.

It doesn't hurt that he is on a 10 game hitting streak


Encarnacion with his 17th HR, tying last years total.

 

[vwnut13]

GRAND SLAM ROCKIES!

Friedrich on the mound tonight.

Friedrich on the mound tonight.

Did Scutaro hit it? Ah wait, nevermind, he couldn't hit his way out of a paper bag with RISP.

 

[Y4NK335]

Morrow drilled with line drive in the leg and couldn't put any weight on it. Had to get helped off field. What a shame he was dominating tonight and having a great season. Hopefully he avoided a huge injury but didn't look great.
