vs. ROYALS, 5/14

[LA2]

Left five runners on in the last two innings. Four were in scoring position. Even after Gausman's bad game, better relief could have saved it.

[Uli2001]

Four one-run losses in a row.

At least the Orioles are not about to blow up a 25-point lead in the playoffs as the Spurs are about to. 

[Natty]

Our pitching failed us again. 

[Moshagge3]

At least Boston is getting clowned? Gotta find those silver linings wherever you can.

Does Gentry score on the Caleb double?

I knew the Spurs weren't safe.  GS has too much fire power on offense for the Spurs.

Yeah, I was going to say, Dickerson not sending was a head-scratcher after all the sends of slow runners in less likely circumstances. Buck will justify by saying it's Gordon's arm in LF and the top of the order coming up, but Flaherty was already to third when Gordon picked it up. It wd require a good throw to SS and perfect relay home to catch him. Was worth a try. That's what I felt at the time, not after Smith and Schoop failed.

No, my point is Gentry came in after the double for Caleb, not Flash. 

[eddie83]

I went outside in the 9th and listened on the radio. Just rewound it, Schoop had a pitch to hit.

Sorry, got confused: I meant Flaherty not Gentry. And yes, if it had been Gentry instead of Flaherty I would have sent him on Joseph's double. But why do you mention JJ?

Kwahi Leonard leaving the game was huge. He should do some training to strengthen those ankles. He keepings turning them.

Screwed up. Thinking it was JJ not Flaherty.

Understood. I'm a bit teed off at Dickerson now the more I think about it. Time to forget and fix dinner....

If Gentry is running instead of Flaherty who knows.  

I know teams rarely play for tie road but still.

Yeah, I didn't realize he got hurt while hoping for an O's comeback.  I think Spurs hold on if Leonard doesn't get hurt.
