Gordon and Moose were both sat because of the LHP the Tigers started....

Moose would tear it up in that ballpark, and it'd be fun to seem him and Cain together again, but from the Brewers perspective this just seems like a really bad idea. Their lineup might look better but their middle infield defense would be an adventure.

Mauer about to blow a great effort by Fillmeyer

I literally would have just brought Hammel in from the beginning. We all know how this is going to end.

And there it is. You could have put 1 million dollars on that.

Yep, tie game.

What a ****ing waste of oxygen.

And Mauer blows the game.

What a turd this guy is. I don’t understand why we keep him on the team.


Yes, I realize it doesn’t matter ultimately (except for the rook who just got his great effort pissed all over).

Just DFA Maurer, seriously. I’m sure we gotta another below average bullpen arm we can stick in there that will still be better than that pile of shit.

I could say that the Royals squandered opportunities to give Maurer a bigger cushion, but I don’t think you can produce a Maurer-proof lead.

Well this is fun.

Has Moore explained why he traded for this guy?

Or why he is still on the team. Or why Ned puts him in to close games instead of garbage time.

Maybe we had too much momentum from our weekend sweep of the Twins so Ned wanted to plug Maurer in to get things back on track . . . . . . :shrug:

Because he wanted Matt Strahm out of the Royals system?

Man it’s been a minute since I looked at Maurer’s line. HOLY SHIT! 16 R in 12 IP on 22 H? Surely we have a bat boy that can put up better numbers for half the price.

Front office and Ned clearly tanking on purpose. There is no justification for ever putting Maurer into a game unless the lead or deficit is double digits. Ever. This guy is the one major league pitcher I've ever seen that I am convinced any asshole off the street could get a hit off of.
