Highly unlikely we get many runs on Severino. Hitters need to be patient and drive that pc up to get to that bullpen. Hopefully Cashner can just keep it close till then.

The Yankee ass kissing is already annoying.
Hopefully that was just an ankle sprain and not an Achilles tear. Didn't look good.
Yet another injury, because of course.
Who is injured? DVR recording the game so not able to follow live

Gomez. I guess the good news is that we know the offense can have success without him. The outfield defense suffers, but deshields can play center.
Of course, most of those games were with Beltre in the lineup. What a freaking brutal series of injured players

Way too many Yankees fans at the game
Bring up Calhoun to DH
Something about Frazier reminds me of Scott Brosius.
That ball was about thisclose to sticking under the padding on the wall, which probably would've left Middlebrooks at 3B instead of scoring the run.
I really hope we resign Cashner. Dude can pitch in our park and that can be hard to find.
Yeah at this point I'm all for signing Cashner. He's been arguably our best pitcher for about the last month or so. I feel like we have a good shot
Who knew Severino was the best pitcher on the planet?
Damn, hope we can scratch out another run. Hate to waste this cash start.
Looks like the team forgot to bring their bats today
Putting in the call now for a Gallo walk off after the announcers talked earlier about him not being "clutch" enough.
Slow death by bullpen
Banister strikes again. Cashner out for the 8th to only hit a guy, bringing out a struggling Claudio for the 9th. But this is what happens when you have essentially no good options out of the bullpen. If Claudio isn't great it's done
I guess we couldn't bring Diekman in?
This is why I didn't want to use Diekman last night in a 6 run ball game

He should be rested though. Off on Thursday and didn't pitch Friday. I can't blame him for giving Claudio a shot.
Even with the bullpen giving it up late, how many games do you win with only one hit? Offense was putrid today.
Damn, the hitters owe Cashner an apology after that.
Need the royals to win today
No ground lost today
Gomez with a high ankle sprain and in a walking boot. Need some players to step it up (looking at you Rougie)

Texas has traded their #1 pitcher and lost their best player to injury.
They are 28-25 since the ASB.
Houston is 26-27.
Astros are no doubt the better team, just interesting that this "world-beater" team that has been lauded all season has actually been playing under 0.500 ball for 2 months.
If that team fails to make a WS I'd say it's a failure... If they **** the bed in the ALDS... Wow.

I do give them credit for ACTUALLY trading and going for it with the verlander trade. That's gonna help them. But yes, this started out as their year and they've been skidding in the second half. We'll see how it goes.
Not to mention they're now tied for the best record and may not even have homefield after how they started

Prolly scared of Texas sneaking into the WC and having to face them in the ALDS.
I know with Beltre and Gomez out there's not a whole lot of options unless you want to burn a year of Calhoun.
But Mike Napoli batting 4th?
Below replacement level Mike Napoli?

How the **** is Napoli still playing? .192 average as an every day player in mid-September? Is there anyone else with the same amount of AB's that has a worse average?
It's very baffling. We're pulling Griffin in the 4th with no outs, so Bannister realizes that these are crucial games.
But then we're batting Napoli 4th.
Again, not like we have a heck of a lot of options and the lineup doesn't matter THAT much... But maybe Chirinos or Gallo deserve to hit a little higher than Nap?

Actually... no.Huell Babineaux said:

Here are the Top 6 worst BAs in the AL:
1. .193 - Napoli: 13th in HRs
2. .207 - Alex Gordon (KC)
3. .210 - Gallo: 3rd in HRs
4. .210 - Frazier (CHW/NYY)
5. .210 - Bautista (Tor)
6. .214 - Odor: 17th in HRs
And not even in the Top 20-25 in Runs or RBIs, as far as I can tell.
Welp... Not the nail in the coffin... But probably have to go 14-6 over our last 20 to have a chance at WC2... and I just don't see this rotation being able to keep the games close enough for a banged up offense to win.
