This team has gotten back to the point where there is absolutely no stress watching them down in a game. You know they're going to make a run at some point in the game. Just like the second half of 2014 and entirety of 2015.

Moss grabbed his shoulder.

Maybe he's hurt!!!!!

Anyone see that?

Don't give the run right back please!! :(

Yeah, had to back the DVR up, was early in his AB.

Yea. This could be good news!!!

My stream is always behind so I post about 60 seconds after something happens.

Joey Bats. My loathing for him cannot be measured on any machine.

All they had to do was get a bunt down.

DP gets Vargas out of trouble!! :clap:

Esky having a game

Esky is our rock.

Which of you ****s doubted Esky. He was our ALCS MVP!!

Present

On a quick note former Royals James Shieds has allowed 3 home runs today. And all 3 were by three different people with their first career home run

Looks like a nail biter.

Shit

Gotta keep the weak shit out of the middle.

:facepalm: Two mistakes, otherwise a nice game. Tied up. :deevee:

Damn

Dicks.

Ok, get the lead right back...plus some preferably.

Winning pitcher from last night is up in the BP. :rolleyes:

ESKY!!

Nice hit, gordo!

GORDO!! Woot Woot!!

GORDON!!

Escobar/Gordon a winning combination

The Blue Jays defense is just one big turd.

This game is.........OURS!!!!!

Vargas in line for the win now

Gordon and Esky partying like it's 2015!

Once again Bautista throws to the wrong cutoff lol. He had no chance at Esky.

That is some of the most efficient hitting I have seen in a while

3 runs 5 hits

Shit

Come on, LoCain

I really wanted that fourth run

Soria incoming.

If you just take out Jason Vargas’ May 17th start, he has a deadly 1.80 ERA through 90 innings/15 starts... He’s an All-Star.

Soria 3 up 3 down. :clap:

The 4th run would have been nice seeing as Kelvin will most likely make an appearance...

Nice time for a trip to dongtown.

Holy cow, nice pitching Soria.

Hold them down Kelvin!

Wil Kelvin have a 123 inning?

1-2-3 please Kelvin!

Not a ****ing chance.

MOrales!

1 more Kelvin!

Suck on that Morales.

:cuss:

I ****ing hate Tulo...dickhead has been a thorn in our side all game...

Almost Salvy, soooo close!

WINNER!

PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ PBJ

Finish him!

Game!!! Nice win!

Moose is a monster at third. Nice win, above .500!

yay

ITS OVER .500!!!!!!!

Hell yeah. Man I love beating this team.

Winner winner chicken dinner!! :clap::thumb:

That's a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hot ****ing damn!

So sweet. This deserves a frosty beer.

This ****ing team.

This ****ing thread.

Also hot: Saturdays spent at bar mitzvahs.

Unreal - these guys never cease to amaze me.

Stay hot, boys. Get those brooms out tomorrow.

KC has Toronto's #, count on a sweep tomorrow!

Vargas with 11 wins already. When is the last time a Royals pitcher had 11 wins before the break?

I was thinking that earlier. Probably not since the 80s, I would imagine.

I told you Vargas would be starting the All Star game but nope everyone said Sale

Thought maybe Greinke in 2009 but he didn't get his 11th win until August. David Cone did it in 1994.

Believe Kevin Appier was 11-2 before the all-star break in 93, with a sub-2 ERA and crazy K numbers.

He didn't start the All Star Game, though. (Some bum named Johnson did).

Still may be Sale.

Appier got his 11th win just after the All Star Game on July 22.

Never mind. Was wrong - he was 10-2 before the break.

May not be exactly what you were looking for, but using the Baseball Reference Play Index I came up with the results for Royals pitchers who had 11+ wins through the first half of the season (not always exactly the All-Star break):

I'm still familiarizing myself with the Play Index, but I think I got this one right. There could be a "before All-Star break" criteria somewhere in there that I am just missing.
