Looks like Yost sticking with last nights lineup.

I'll be watching- go Royals.(and LSU). Nice to see how Vanderbilt played Mizzou so tough in Columbia today. They were in the game until the last 4 minutes.

@Crimsonorblue22 Mo'ne "throw like a girl" threw out the first pitch.

@JayhawkRock78 LS who?

I hope Mississippi wins because I think it will be a lot of fun for an undefeated egg bowl.

The dreaded leadoff walk

@brooksmd Thanks for starting the game thread. AM BUSY...with this boy. Piss & Vinegar Galore. Mom pulled rank-he is now Racal & living up to it. I swear he jumped at least 7 ft high knocking a basketball out of my reach this evening. Have not had one this feisty in almost 10 years. Will try to keep up as he winds down later tonight. He IS a handful !!

@globaljaybird

Ok I'm ready now. Just had a couple of dogs with kraut and mustard. Got a cold one at my side. Hope Vargas is ready next inning.

@globaljaybird Our patio is plumbed for propane for our grill and have about a 10 ft hose. Mikey when he was a pup took great joy in turning that hose into equal pieces. I know he did 2 and it may have been 3.

@wissoxfan83 Yeah I'm going for Ol Miss also.

There you go, According to Bill James the leadoff walk scores 38% of the time, but even more importantly, in an inning when it happens teams average nearly one run in those innings, which is essentially an ERA of 9.00 when it happens.

Need to win tonite with Baumgardner going tomorrow nite.

Gordo needs to park one in the pond.

Good hustle by the boys to tie this up.

Yes sir. Infante you da man.

Royals playing some very effective small ball.

@wissoxfan83 You betcha. Just text my nephew that Infante has really had a good post season. Playing great d and getting timely hits. Nobody really talking about him but he has been a big part.

Just wish it was the 7th innning.

All the runs have been scored with two outs.

Vargas needs to help his cause now.

MAN!!!!

If there was ever the time for a suicide squeeze that was it! 3rd inning, 2 outs, bases loaded, and the pitcher at bat. In an inning where the defense was already shaken up.

I wonder when the last time Vargas practiced a bunt?

Back in the 90's the Braves pitching staff practiced bunts everyday.

@brooksmd 2nd base was a revolving door last year.

Just looked at Houstons sched for next year and see a 3-4 day trip the end of June when the R's are in town.

@jayhawkbychoice Welcome. That might have been interesting.

Damn, thought Gordo had one.

@brooksmd yell louder!! For me!! Everyone here is in bar watching.

@Crimsonorblue22 Lol, ok. Was just commenting to wife about stupidity of the clown out there in his kayak with his dog and the grill warming up. What an idiot.

Let's go Royals. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

Boy I hope Vargas isn't doing this to keep my interest.

Alright Hosie, that's how you beat the shift. Come on Moose put it in da pond.

Looks like a young Fidel Castro pitching.

@JayhawkRock78 LS who?

I am for sec upsets. SO TIRED of this SEC bunch. When A&M moved over it is twice as obnoxious around here.

@JayhawkRock78
How did that end up here???

C'mon ROYALS,!,!!

@JayhawkRock78 Huh, because you put it here?

@brooksmd Yeah it would have been interesting. Maybe Yost is saving it for later. If it was game 7 that would be the ideal situation.

Damn, Vargas has been his own worst enemy tonight.

@brooksmd Damn Merv did it again. But one is as good as a hundred if it holds. Lets see what Duffy has in the tank. Couple of months ago he was PDG but he may have issues with shoulder or the after effects of the Tommy John surgery. If its a cuff, that usually gets worse & rarely better.

He was close to 100 mph but low to mid 90's is about it now.

@globaljaybird It don't help when you leave it belt high over the middle of the plate.

@brooksmd Looks like it's a 4 inning game now. If it goes extra we've spent 4 pitchers already.

Damn one of the few times Aoki pulls one.

Geez, loading the bases with Pence coming up. I feel sick.

@brooksmd Not me I'll have a couple shots win, loose, or draw.

Let's go Jay...er Royals clap clap clap clap clap!!'

@VailHawk don't give up!! Go!!!

Come on Finns show your stuff.

Good nite. Be back tomorrow nite.

@brooksmd bummer, got to get it tomorrow!
