***Official GDT Royals vs Yankees - May 23***
 

3 up, 3 down for the Royals. Esky hard out at 3rd and Moose with a big fly to left center.

2 good plays by Headley and Merrifield already

Let's do this!

Duffy is getting rocked so far, hard hit outs

Boni about had another dong.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, almost another Boni Bomb.

Just got inside from "swimming."

It makes watching the Royals lose that much easier.

****ing joke of a ball park. He hit it off the end of the bat for a HR.

What a ****ing joke. That's a ****ing 315 HR. **** Yankee Stadium

Bad thing is, the Royals pitchers have no room for error here at all.

Who's the emergency catcher with Salvy at DH?

That's the 3rd Royals hit that has been out there.

Good question. I found this from 2015:

I'm ready to be done with this group. 2014 and 2015 were ****ING AWESOME.!! But, this mixture of players is just crap. Scrub the roster, and let's re-build

So, correct me if I'm wrong....the last 2 batters saw a total of 6 pitches? And looked completely inept?

With the at bats we're getting tonight, that ought to about do it.

Hmmm, they don't miss mistakes. :hmmm:

Just like most of the season.

Maybe a few of our (players) guys are already counting the money. :eek: Too bad if so.

I don't think that. They just aren't that talented.

Sell this sinking ship!

I think they are very talented, world champs talented...but for whatever reason, just have a lackadaisical attitude about them, as if to say hey we brought you a world championship, now you won't pay us???

Hmmm they lost probably the 4 most important parts to that championship.

This is a tired and incorrect argument.

Why? If they paid Davis, and let the Cubs deal with Soler, how bad would we be? Quite a bit better I would venture.

Lol at thinking having Davis and no Soler makes this team good.

Baseball has some of the quickest regression of any of the major sports. Teams and players do not typically stay on top for long. We are seeing a regression towards to mean, if not under the mean this year. 2014-15 were likely outliers where this team greatly over-achieved above their actual talent level.

They were never all that great or consistent an offensive team.

They have lost a lot of pitching and certainly pitching depth.

So, your argument is that because the Royals traded Davis, the rest of the players don't give a **** anymore?

Yup.

All very true.

Good bye, nice hit.

No, not at all. I'm saying Herrera in the 8th and Davis in the 9th is looking a lot better, especially with the anemic run production.

Bonifacio saves the day with a 2-run shot!

Jbone!

Boni needs to be in the lineup everyday

Let's go Royals!

Why wasn't Boni up early??

Bonifacio is playing himself into an everyday spot.

Wade Davis is a guy that takes your team to the next level, the guy is Iron Man. He is a goddamn Cyborg with ice cold plasma in his veins. He has no remorse and will stop at nothing until your batters are dead and to end the game in the 9th.

Yankees great playoff success can be attributed to Mariano Rivera for all of those years. The hardest out to get is the last out.

Bonifacio should give Hosmer and Gordon some hitting lessons sometime.

Yep. I wish his D was a little better than it is, but I love his power

Bonifacio has as many home runs as Cain,Hosmer, and Gordon combined

He's probably the only one of those that is listening to the hitting coach, the others are too good.

I love that he can hit Oppo really well

Bonifacio is everything I hoped Soler would be.

But you said that the players were lackadaisical because we traded Davis. It's right there.

I think you are supposing quite a bit there, and I admire your quoting abilities.
Right now, Herrera and Davis would look pretty damn good.

And also, I said lacka whatever, because they aren't getting paid, not anything to do with Davis....

Whit bomb!

They see us rolling!

They hatin'!!!

Those keeping score at home....Jorge has homered in each of the past 4 games.

Hahahaaa! Add a 2-run Moose donger!

MOOSE DONG!!

Can we give Moose a $200 million contract? He's worth more than anything you'd get in return for 3 months of him.

Wow, this game really turned

The new Bronx Bombers. ROFL

Hitting bombs in this shit park.

That might be a little high, but Moose is the only one of them I really want them to keep.

These aren't your 2 year old grandson's Royals.

Nice homer Moose!!

ROFL

Moose put it on 'em. I hate the Yankees.

Yeah moose is the one to pay.

I will hate to see Cain go.

I am on the same boat as Dart. Moose is the only one I keep. He can mature the best of all of them and continues to make adjustments to getting better each year.

I like Cain but he's a sure no with seeing what Gordon is doing as an aging outfielder.

Sorry, man. Just following the logic.

I agree, doesnt mean I have to like it

Totally agree.

They aren't playing their best because they aren't getting paid, but if they played better they would get paid more.

There is no bullshit when it comes to Moose. He went through his struggles no doubt, but he fixed his swing and plate approach. No absurd hot/cold streaks, no superstar ego preventing him from making obvious adjustments, just a good ballplayer who can rake.



Also fat, but that's okay.

Soria brought 96 woowww. where was that last year??? HE ROIDIN TOO?

By baseball standards I don't really consider Moose fat.

If comparing to other sports, then yes. :D

SoriAids

Not by KC. I'm saying maybe they aren't, it wasn't an absolute...damn. They did everything KC asked, and now they're letting them all walk, I understand.

Bring on the next rebuild by all means.

SUCKS, but it is what it is. Still sucks.

Pretty sure we can say now Soler just sux

I'm giving up on him yet, but he looks pretty shitty.

Nice win, **** the Yankees.

Good win Royals, Thanks. And get the series win tomorrow. :thumb:

4 game series.

Oops. Thanks. Shoulda checked.
