IGT 8/2/13 Royals @ Mets Davis v. Gee

[Edgy MD]

Nice to see Q not struggling tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

Now that Recker has PH'd, Mrs. Buck really needs to keep her legs crossed for the next hour or two.

[Edgy MD]

This guy's mouth is all over his glove.

And other than the fact that AL pitchers have been out-hitting our pitchers and out-bunting our pitchers this year. That's the shame of it. Ike Davis might never have another 3 hit game in his life but getting him around the bases is impossible on this team.

And that's even with the guy behind him (Q) getting two hits, plus a bunt, plus a walk.

I didn't expect that.

Bob Costas is going to be pissed off

[Frayed Knot]

THAT I was not expecting.

[nymr83]

He can do that??? Wow.

Young doesn't have that kind of power, does he?

He must really like OAR.

[smg58]

I was just thinking earlier today that Young doesn't drive the ball nearly often enough. He drove that one!

Y'know, I noticed that the home plate ump was walking away before Young ever reached home and never even bothered to check whether he actually touched the base. Umps used to be anal about seeing it through to the end.

[Zvon]

Young was actually surprised by the pieface,lol.

He really got his weight behind it, you could tell there was a little more umph.

[Fman99]

Put it in the books!

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Good thing they went with Hawkins there on pie duty; I'm pretty sure Turner would have rolled it weakly to second.

[MFS62]

So now, who is going to be the starting pitcher tomorrow?

Later

[Zvon]

They always have that net above the food area beyond right? If I was there Id want a chance to catch a homer. Thats fkd up.

they put it up when they moved the walls. They do that in public CF areas a lot, I don't get it myself.

One minor bit of good news is that the 51s are playing in that great Pacific Coast city of Nashville. So Lutz or Flores or whoever should be able to get a redeye flight and be in Queens in time for tomorrow's day game, presumably as the starter at third base, if he's able to answer the bell.

According to ESPN Mike Baxter is the guy getting the call. Which I would think means we're going to see a lot more Satin/Turner in the lineup at 3B.

[Edgy MD]

And probably some Eric Young at second.
