I know Hosmer's been on a tear, but he's not seeing the ball at all against this guy

QUIT MAKING EXCUSES FEVER

Another night of facing a Cy Young pitcher. It's gotta be some sort of record.

5 straight... and a lot of "I don't give a **** looks". Hey Hosmer, shit for brains this guy isn't going to throw ANY****INGTHING near the plate

Erlin is our worst pitcher too.

Good inning Guthrie

There's a nice quick inning

10K post bitches!
 

This next inning is ours!

10k post mojo!

Facing the Royals is like throwing to one-armed players. They may get lucky some of the time, but mainly, your pitcher is going to look brilliant. It's how we do.

I don't even know how Salvy got contact on that pitch

This Padre team is bad, a playoff team doesn't struggle for consecutive games like this. If Shields gets a ton of credit for changing the attitude of the players and that contributed to wins what does Ned get for managing these players prior to Shields? Will they "revert" to mental midgets/"our domes are bad" type players when Shields is gone?

Should Big Game James be a player and manager?

Stop giving Ned a free pass.

Gordon is lost.

Hosmer and Gordon never met a pitch they didn't like

JFC, these guys are acting like they've never seen an off speed curve ball.

This is pathetic

Anything offspeed low and away will equal a swing and miss from Gordon

Every batter should force this guy to throw two strikes before even taking the bat off the shoulder.

I feel like Donald Sutherland and Alex Gordon are going to come out of that dugout soon, point and scream at the Padres Invasion Of The Body Snatchers style.

ESKY still whacking the ball

2 feet more to the right and we're up 1-0.

Every pathetic "sly" lefty gives us fits. This is nothing new. We occasionally hit "fireballers" but very rarely hit the cerebral lefty.

Damn, if that doesn't hit the corner, it's a run

And he's safe

Watch Guthrie knock in 2 here.

Guthrie up with the bases juiced

Send Billay up here, and let him whiff with the bases loaded. That would be perfect.

Guthrie should hit a big fly.

This guy shouldn't strike anybody out, but Billlllay could certainly ground out to the shortstop.

I hate National League baseball.

Damn

He whiffed Alice and whiffed Erica twice.

I know. How ****ing exciting. Watching a pitcher bat to end an inning. ****ing worthless.

Big pop fly.

But there is so much less strategy.

Luckily the Padres suck so bad that they struggle against the cerebral righty.

ROFL

Ballgame.

Now stick one in Jerko's ear.

SMOKED

Stop pitching to him

Uhh I hope that isn't ballgame.

Well, sure glad we let Guthrie bat with the bases loaded, so he could come out and do that.

Our announcers are so convinced that conditions and parks play a much bigger part in preventing home runs than they actually do.

Game.

That's because they see so few of them.

ROFL again.

Our pitchers are premium at fielding the ball.

Yep, really happy we stayed with Guthrie here....

Our pitchers really need to practice throwing to 1st base

Yeah take him out in the 4th inning in a game where you need him to go deep and give the taxed bullpen a rest.

One run should be plenty against this AIDS OLYMPIC Offense.

I hate this Team

Thank God we have an actual shortstop.

OH MY ****ING GOD ESCOBAR

Wow

You can't be serious. Take out a pitcher who hasn't given up a run and pitch count at sub 50???

You aren't that dumb.

It's the 4th inning on a night after our pen pitched 6 innings.


:eek: Escobar

Amazing throw; how did he keep that on a string?

It's comments like that in which I can't take some of you people serious sometimes.

They are paid employees of the Royals they know they HAVE to say that.

The game threads are getting pretty bad.

Our announcers are the baseball equivalent of a couple of ****ing Uncle Tom's

Game threads go as the games go.

Royals are driving us insane.

Might as well have Frenchy out there. Both shit at the plate but at least Frenchy has better defense and great arm.

Nori you're going to have to start slapping the ball a little harder.

No hell, let Guthrie pitch till his arm falls off. If we're gonna lose, he might as well give up a couple more dingers tonight so he can lead the league in home runs surrendered. If the Padres score four runs, we're toast.

Fever calling it a pitcher-friendly ballpark as SD has hit 3 HR's in the last 1.5 games

Erlin shouldn't dominate any team. His stuff isn't very good for a starting mlb pitcher.

Poor mans Jamie Moyer.

Do you drink and are you doing it tonight?

Quit trolling you almost got me.

Oh, and our bullpen was very effective last night, puking up the lead not once, but twice.So I guess you're right. Doesn't matter who we trot out there, Five straight innings, no runs scored for this weak ass offense.

If they get swept in San Diego, I might have to start drinking heavily tomorrow.

Ryan is bragging about how many Royals have hit a bunch of doubles. Wooo!

He's clearly not watching. Our singles number is off the charts great so far!

Well, at least Hosmer put the ball in play that time...

Hosmer swinging out of his shoes again and then dogging it down the line......

I have to go to the dentist tomorrow.
Compared to this, I'm almost looking forward to it.

Cy Erlin mowing them down. JFC........

It's clear our hitters don't scout a single bit against any pitcher. None of them look like they have a plan up there.

Whoa dude, me too.

Just a simple cleaning/check here.

You?

That would take personal accountability on the players part. Surely you jest?

Same.

There's this little oriental dental tech who climbs up on my chest and flosses me till I bleed. She beats the day living shit out of me. I kinda dig it.
