**Royals @ Baltimore 5/17**

[petegz28]

Davies throwing tonight

[chefsos]

Patterson breaks up the no-hitter.

[petegz28]

Wow, covering a bunt must be something Trey never went over?

[petegz28]

Oh come on, Rodriguez!!! Send Maier home on that....he would have been shot by at least 10 steps. You do Coach Owen no justice.....LMAO

[CaliforniaChief]

It'd be nice to see the bottom of the order get us a few here. 2nd and 3rd, 1 out.

[petegz28]

Ok, now THAT time I would have sent him

[Oso]

ROFL

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm not seeing the game other than through Gamecast, but if it's close I think you send him. Force them to make a good throw and if they do, you've got the top of the order coming up.

[petegz28]

Balk scores the run for the Royals

[CaliforniaChief]

That's awesome. WE score on an error and a balk...you'd think that would be what we do for the other team.

[chefsos]

People don't run on Markakis anymore.


EDIT: Wow, I'm way late with that one...

[SnakeXJones]

People don't run on Markakis anymore.


EDIT: Wow, I'm way late with that one...

Sounds like your watching a stream like me

[petegz28]

2 fucking bunts now that we are clueless on....

[chefsos]

Sounds like your watching a stream like me
Nah, I'm watching it on MASN, on an actual TV set. I'm just slow.

[jbwm89]

Baltimore might actually be more pathetic than we are

[Sure-Oz]

baltimore probably has more talent too

[CHENZ A!]

that popping noise is fucking annoying

[Dartgod]

that popping noise is fucking annoying
What the hell is that?

[LetsSignRussell]

popcorn vendor?

[chefsos]

Baltimore might actually be more pathetic than we areWell, the young pitchers who were expected to blossom haven't, the guys who were expected to hit haven't, and the vets brought in to add stability (Garrett Atkins, Mike Gonzalez) have apparently forgotten how to play the game.

So, yeah.

[jbwm89]

wow would have been a great play

[Sure-Oz]

betancourt with the D

[Sure-Oz]

What the hell is that?

Someones getting a hand job

[Sure-Oz]

Who the hell is this weiters guy?/dayton

Alex Gordon's stay at Triple-A Omaha is going well. He was named Pacific Coast League Hitter of the Week. Gordon posted a .500 average (11-for-22) with three doubles, three homers, 10 RBIs and seven runs. He was also doing well in his conversion to left field from third base and threw out a runner at home plate.

[Reaper16]

Who the hell is this weiters guy?
Only the best catching prospect since Joe Mauer. Only a guy the royals passed on drafting for cost reasons.

I forgot to put the /dayton tag after the post

be nice to see him behind the plate...who did we pick instead

Mike Moustakas.

[Sure-Oz]

Mike Moustakas.

Well atleast hes hitting in AA right? Weiters ftw

[KCUnited]

Kendall to the fucking track!

[petegz28]

Well atleast hes hitting in AA right? Weiters ftw

I thought it was stupid to draft Moosetacos. I am not a fan of drafting players out of highschool when you have a team that is among the worst in the league. It just prolongs the agony.

[baitism]

Are there even 5,000 people there?

[petegz28]

Are there even 5,000 people there?

Fever said there were 17. Not 1,700, or 17,000....17 LMAO

[chefsos]

Meat.

[Sure-Oz]

Way to run out of the inning, time to ride the bench for getzy/barnyard

[baitism]

Meat.

How fast is Aviles? I saw he got a great jump and figured he would be in there.

[petegz28]

We're gonna make this a 1-2-3 inning one way or the other

[chefsos]

How fast is Aviles? I saw he got a great jump and figured he would be in there.Wieters has a gun.

[petegz28]

How fast is Aviles? I saw he got a great jump and figured he would be in there.

It was just a great throw. I contend though had he gone in head first he is safe. I know they say there is no difference in the timing on slides but I tend to disagree.

[Sure-Oz]

Kendall is clutch

wtf

[baitism]

JFC Kendall

[Oso]

:facepalm:

[baitism]

Wow. Hell of a play by Dejesus.

[Sure-Oz]

That was the ballsiest catch ive ever seen from DDJ

[teedubya]

Pete Royals threads suck, because he doesn't update the score in the OP.

Damn you Pete. Now I have to go to Royals.com

[baitism]

Slow ass Guillen

[Sure-Oz]

Moose just a hit bomb

[DeezNutz]

Why is Farnsworth warming up in a game that A.) we have the lead in and B.) is still close?

[Sure-Oz]

Why is Farnsworth warming up in a game that A.) we have the lead in and B.) is still close?

He'll be the Yost of the town when Ned is done with him

[Sure-Oz]

Butler just raped that pitch

[petegz28]

Butler just raped that pitch

And if it weren't for an error we are probably up by 3 instead of 2

[DeezNutz]

Hey, does anyone remember if the K showed the pitch count on the scoreboard last year?

Was at a game recently and was surprised that this statistic was not to be found. Reaction to the Hillman criticism, perhaps?

[alnorth]

pitchcount was up both last year and this year. You have to look at the boards over each bullpen, the main scoreboard doesnt have it.

[DeezNutz]

Huh, thanks. Obviously overlooked this.

Uh yeah, what he said.

[petegz28]

Huh, thanks. Obviously overlooked this.

Personally I wish they wouldn't put that up there. It sounds trivial but I don't want the pitcher looking up at his pitch count.

[Sure-Oz]

LMAO how do you bean him there

[petegz28]

Nice job, Farnsworth......fuck

[petegz28]

OMG...pull him already!

[Oso]

Really?

[petegz28]

I have never seen a pitcher try to pick off a guy standing on the base.

[ZootedGranny]

Super Mario Brothers 2 music? Awesome.

[Farzin]

WTF why are they playing the Mario theme song at the Baltimore Orioles stadium!?

[Sure-Oz]

Kyle just got squeezed

[Sure-Oz]

Wow thats a DP ball if he isnt running

[Sure-Oz]

What do you know? You hit or walk a guy he comes around to score

[Sure-Oz]

He gets out of it with just 1 run

[baitism]

JFC Soria...

[chefsos]

It's been Buntapalooza tonight.

[CaliforniaChief]

Time for McFilthy to get it done.

[LetsSignRussell]

god royals have to make every frickin game a god damn roller coaster ride

[CaliforniaChief]

One more.

[CaliforniaChief]

Ballgame.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Two in a row

[CaliforniaChief]

Baltimore has been Mexicuted.

[SnakeXJones]

:thumb:

[AJKCFAN]

Ned Yost Era 3-1!

I got Pennant Fever!!!!PBJPBJ

[chefsos]

Congrats Royals and fans.

[GoHuge]

Thank god. Soria has got a flair for the dramatics! Shit makes my stomach roll. I always feel like he's in control of the situation, but sometimes he gives up the big one...... not tonight!!

[petegz28]

Dramatic ending..nice win

[chefsos]

Baltimore has been Mexicuted.

I watched "Sum of All Fears" last night...so it could be worse, I suppose.

[LetsSignRussell]

it would be nice if minnesota ever lost

[AndChiefs]

I turned it on right as Soria started the 9th...He gave up 2 on, figured I was jinxing it and stopped watching. Good decision by me.

[CaliforniaChief]

Let's run down Chicago first. And BTW, Minny did lose 2 of 3 over the weekend.

[Mr. Laz]

Ned Yost = GENIOUS!!

[Sure-Oz]

Trey who/David Glass

[OmahaChief]

Soria so far this year has far too much Affedlt and MacDougal in him. He needs to get back to throwing first pitch strikes.

[Sure-Oz]

Soria is still getting out of it for the most part...

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Soria does seem to have regressed a bit. Last year at this time he was making hitters look stupid at the plate. Now it seems every save opportunity is a nail-biter.

He's still getting the job done, so you really can't complain too much.

[Sure-Oz]

Does Yost have a less dumbass feel to him? atleast so far?

[-King-]

ROFLROFLROFL I thought I was the only one to feel that way. Like right now, I don't know if I should turn on the Lakers game. If I do, they might lose their lead. :shake:

[-King-]

Does Yost have a less dumbass feel to him? atleast so far?

If we don't have our annual 14 game midseason losing streak, then I'll say he isn't a dumbass. Until then...

[petegz28]

Does Yost have a less dumbass feel to him? atleast so far?

Seems that way. 4 games and I can't recall one bunt. Hit and run seems to be used more. Outfield doesn't seem to be playing the opposite way that the pitcher is pitching.

Oh, and no one has been shot out at the plate by 10 ft.

[Mr. Laz]

Does Yost have a less dumbass feel to him? atleast so far?
so far ... feel is a good word

for some reason it just "feels" like he might know what the hell he's doing.


:shrug:

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Does Yost have a less dumbass feel to him? atleast so far?

No more freaking bunts in the first inning, so yes. Windmill Dave being gone knocked the dumbass meter down a few notches too.

[DeezNutz]

Part of this is because of how incredibly unqualified Hillman was as a manager. Thus, though it's easy to say that Yost is better, he very well could still suck.

That said, I believe Yost is the best manager to be in KC for some time. Probably the best since Hal.

[Reaper16]

RE: Soria's locker room interview - when did his English get so good?

Also, Soria is a dead ringer for Roy Khan, the singer from the band Kamelot.

We've had alot of assclowns managing this team the past several years that is for sure

Agreed there.

[petegz28]

I believe Yost is the first manager we have had in eons that had previously managed a ML team? Or did Bell have experience there?

[teedubya]

Ned is gonna go like 90-30 the rest of the season!!

[petegz28]

Ned is gonna go like 90-30 the rest of the season!!

If we went .500 for the rest of the season I would be most impressed. Seriously I think we have a lineup that can do it. We have the starting pitching that can do it. The bullpen is still the big ? I think just from a strategery aspect we will get better. As some have said, no SAC bunts in the 1st inning. No incompetence coaching 3rd base. That alone should save us 15 outs and benefit is 10-15 runs alone.

[DeezNutz]

I believe Yost is the first manager we have had in eons that had previously managed a ML team? Or did Bell have experience there?

Fuck yes. Dude lost approximately 985 games with the Rockies.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

Blake Wood has been a huge improvement coming out of the pen.

[black angus]

**** yes. Dude lost approximately 985 games with the Rockies.

Before that he managed the Tigers for 2 0r 3 years.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

He'll be the Yost of the town when Ned is done with him

ROFL

I LOL'd for real.
