KILLKILLKILL THE GARDENHIRES




apologies, Delano

[tyton75]

We got this!

[Saul Good]

I was thinking about our team today and what I am looking for out of this season. I decided that a great scenario would involve us having 1\3 of a championship roster right now, 2\3 by the end of the season, and the pieces all in place by next year (even if those players haven't yet reached championship potential).

I don't know if we are on schedule yet, but we might be. We would need 3 everyday players. Billy Butler is one. Escobar may be another. Gordon may be another. Guys like Kila and Pena I would consider longshots. All things considered, I'd say we probably have 3 out of that bunch.

I would like to believe that Hoch will be on that level, but its hard to say. Francis looks great so far, but I don't know that he will be around that long. Chen won't, Davies sucks, and nobody else is worth mentioning. Crowe has the best chance, but its hard to project him at this point. We may be on schedule with our starters between Crowe, Hoch, and Francis, but that's pretty optimistic.

Our bullpen is ahead of schedule, so that's a plus.

I would like to think that Cain, Moose, and Hosmer will bring us 2\3 of the way there by the end of the season as far as the lineup is concerned. Maybe Mazarro can get it going soon, and the lefties can start joining the roster by the end of the season.

What do you guys think? Is that a reasonable timeline, and where are we in relation to it?

[Delano]

[alnorth]

Radio guys confidently predicted that Jeff Francis would give up 5 runs or less.

Well gee guys, way to set that bar high. If he gives up 5 runs, we're in trouble.

[milkman]

So who are the TV game anouncers for the Royals?

[ChiefsCountry]

So who are the TV game anouncers for the Royals?

Ryan Lefvere and Frank White

[milkman]

Ryan Lefvere and Frank White

Thought that was White, but hadn't seen him in years, so wasn't sure.

My favorite Royal back in the good days of Royals baseball.

[alnorth]

Top 1st

Getz hits an infield single to second
Cabrera reaches on 6-4 fielder's choice, Getz out at second
Gordon strikes out (swinging)
Butler grounds into a 6-4 fielder's choice, Cabrera out at second

0 runs, 1 hit

Bottom 1st

Span grounds out to second
Mauer strikes out (swinging)
Morneau grounds out to shortstop

0 runs, 0 hits

[DeezNutz]

What do you guys think? Is that a reasonable timeline, and where are we in relation to it?

Sounds reasonable.

We need two guys to emerge in the rotation. Crow? Montgomery? Lamb? Someone else? I don't care, but we need two. Currently, we have a #4, and that's all; his name is Hochevar.

I'm not trying to kill the guy. Just saying it like it is. He doesn't suck, but he's definitely not a 1-3.

[CoMoChief]

This camera angle is MUCH better.

I wonder why Royals telecasts aren't at this angle? BULLSHIT

[SPchief]

Good AB by Getz

[CoMoChief]

That OB% keeps getting better.

That's what you want in a leadoff hitter.

Not too familiar w/ Getz, is he fast/ can he steal?

[DeezNutz]

This camera angle is MUCH better.

I wonder why Royals telecasts aren't at this angle? BULLSHIT

Wind was causing some problems because of the fountains.

[alnorth]

If Hillman were the manager, Cabrera would be bunting right now.

[Demonpenz]

This camera angle is MUCH better.

I wonder why Royals telecasts aren't at this angle? BULLSHIT

fountains blow water all over the place

[DeezNutz]

That OB% keeps getting better.

That's what you want in a leadoff hitter.

Not too familiar w/ Getz, is he fast/ can he steal?

Yes, but historically he's average at best. He's off to a great start, but we shouldn't expect THIS much from him.

[alnorth]

is he fast/ can he steal?

decent / yes

[DeezNutz]

If Hillman were the manager, Cabrera would be bunting right now.

Fuck you for triggering memories. Bunting earlier than the 8th in the AL is maybe the dumbest fucking shit I've ever heard of.

[Demonpenz]

Getz some

[chopper]

sorry if this is the wrong thread for this, but does anyone else use stream torrent to watch the games? The quality is almost unwatchable, is there anything I can do to improve it?

[DeezNutz]

I think that pitch got up on the handle.

[Demonpenz]

on those miracle days when we would bunt over the runner get him in then thome would hit a homerun to beat us 3-2

[DeezNutz]

Nice slide, Getz.

[Demonpenz]

Demonzone

[SPchief]

Just realized that Aviles is Dh'ing tonight :spock:

[keg in kc]

So the Twins and A's combined for 12 runs in their 3-game series?

Christ.

[Demonpenz]

Mauer goes down

[SPchief]

Good start by Francis

[Demonpenz]

11 pitch inning for Francis

[alnorth]

Top 2nd

Francoeur lines out to shortstop
Betemit singles to center
Aviles flies out to center
Pena grounds out to first

0 runs, 1 hit

Bottom 2nd

Young grounds out to pitcher
Cuddyer singles to center
Kubel strikes out (swinging)
Valencia grounds out to pitcher

0 runs, 1 hit

[stonedstooge]

Come on Betemit. Keep Evilas off the field

[Demonpenz]

.

[Dartgod]

Every time I see Betemit bat, I expect him to say "Fuck you, Jubu. I do it myself".

[DeezNutz]

This is why Yost is exponentially better than Hillman:

Betemit has been hitting the shit out of the ball, so........he continues to play. I know, it's ****ing brilliant.

**** you, Trey, for wasting several years of my life. And a tip of the cap **** you to DM for hiring him.

[ChiefsCountry]

Sounds reasonable.

We need two guys to emerge in the rotation. Crow? Montgomery? Lamb? Someone else? I don't care, but we need two. Currently, we have a #4, and that's all; his name is Hochevar.

I'm not trying to kill the guy. Just saying it like it is. He doesn't suck, but he's definitely not a 1-3.

Francis could turn into a legit 1-3 guy as well. He has the talent.

[-King-]

Holy shit. Francis pitching a no-hitter so far.

[Dartgod]

Holy shit. Francis pitching a no-hitter so far.
Way to go, dipshit.

[stonedstooge]

You just jinxed it

[SPchief]

And Aviles does nothing again

[DeezNutz]

So tough to call the balk...looked like there was a lot of movement toward home on that pick.

[Delano]

Holy shit. Francis pitching a no-hitter so far.

Hi5!

[milkman]

Come on Betemit. Keep Evilas off the field

Why do we hate Aviles?

[KCUnited]

Why do we hate Aviles?

0-16

[alnorth]

Nice to see all the foul balls. We keep working Duensing over like this and we're getting into that bullpen no matter how good he is.

[DeezNutz]

0-16

And he's a motherfucking butcher in the field thus far.

[Demonpenz]

Pena Grounds out

[milkman]

0-16

Looks like he had a pretty fair seaason last year.

[alnorth]

Holy shit. Francis pitching a no-hitter so far.

I admit I'm relatively early on these things, but even I usually wait for the 6th inning.

[DeezNutz]

Looks like he had a pretty fair seaason last year.

A couple of years ago he was our best position player (complete surprise), and many (myself included) said that he was the most important player for 2010, primarily because our SS position was such a cluster ****.

He ****ed his shoulder last year, though, and the book on Aviles is out. Dude steps in the bucket like a sonofabitch, to the point that most college pitchers would expose his ass.

He's likable, but he's just not that good.

[keg in kc]

Motherfucker.

[keg in kc]

Why do we hate Aviles?Because he makes Billy Butler look like a solid defensive player.

[Demonpenz]

Francis at 20 pitches

[SPchief]

nice curve there

[KCUnited]

Its not a tough luck 0-16, it's a Tony Pena Jr. not even close 0-16.

[DeezNutz]

Unhittable pitch there.

[DeezNutz]

Thome's fleshlight is blue and white.

[alnorth]

Whoa. Francis, that foot was dangerously close to home.

[SPchief]

Francis is looking good, but just got away with one there

[stonedstooge]

Man if the ump continues to give him those pitches on the outside corner, he'll be tough tonight

[milkman]

This umpire has a pretty generous strike zone.

[teedubya]

Thought that was White, but hadn't seen him in years, so wasn't sure.

My favorite Royal back in the good days of Royals baseball.

The Good days are NOW!! ROFL

I enjoy watching this team... they have fire. Ned Yost is a good coach for this group of dudes.

[Demonpenz]

Francis 29 pitches

[SPchief]

nice

[Dartgod]

Nice snag!

[Demonpenz]

Predicted winner MIN 54%

[alnorth]

Top 3rd

Escobar strikes out (swinging)
Getz flies out to left
Cabrera flies out to right

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 3rd

Hughes hits an infield single to third
Casilla reaches on a 4-6 fielder's choice, Hughes out at second
Casilla steals second *
Span singles to left, Casilla to third
Mauer sacrifices (fly) to left, Span to second, Casilla scores
Morneau grounds out to first

1 run, 2 hits

* Casilla was picked off, but Butler threw wide of second

[milkman]

Francis showed soe quick reflexes on that shot back to the mound.

[Demonpenz]

Dumbsing 44 pitches

[Demonpenz]

Remember when Delmon Young dove a couple years ago and gave mark teahen an inside the park hr?

[-King-]

I admit I'm relatively early on these things, but even I usually wait for the 6th inning.

I wait until the first out of the first inning.

[Delano]

Dumbsing 44 pitches

Good one.

[Demonpenz]

Dunsing 53 pitches

[Sure-Oz]

Cmon wilson!

[Demonpenz]

Well have to wait to see what they score that as.

[milkman]

Cmon wilson!

That's a tough play.

Great one if he makes it.

[Sure-Oz]

WTF kind of throw was that

[stonedstooge]

Damn it Billy Bob

[milkman]

I guess that's why Butler is usually the DH?

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Fuck you Billy

[Demonpenz]

Well have to wait to see what they score that as.

,

[alnorth]

I blame Kila. If he didn't completely suck against lefties this season, he woulda been in there.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

I guess that's why Butler is usually the DH?

That and he has the range of a slug

[alnorth]

Well have to wait to see what they score that as.

anything which is that difficult (ie you have to barehand it, no time for glove) will always be a hit.

[SPchief]

And that's one of the reason that either Billy needs to play 1st more than 1 in 10 games or none at all

[Demonpenz]

growl

[keg in kc]

Not looking good.

[Blankey]

More typical Twins bullshit

[Demonpenz]

I wish more players would try to tag up from first

[Sure-Oz]

Thanks billy

[milkman]

Throwing error bites 'em in the ass.

[keg in kc]

Lucky to get out of that with just one run surrendered.

[Demonpenz]

I have 43 pitches for Francis

[stonedstooge]

Sit down you squareheads

[alnorth]

Top 4th

Gordon flies out to center
Butler walks
Francoeur doubles to right, Butler to third
Betemit hits an infield single to third, Francoeur to third, Butler scores
Aviles sacrifices (fly) to right, Francoeur scores
Pena singles to right, Betemit to second
Escobar grounds out to pitcher

2 runs, 3 hits

Bottom 4th

Young strikes out (swinging)
Cuddyer singles to left
Kubel doubles to right, Cuddyer to third
Valencia walks
Hughes singles to center, Valencia to second, Kubel and Cuddyer scores
Casilla reaches on a 6-4 fielder's choice, Hughes out at second, Valencia to third
Span pops out to second

2 runs, 3 hits

[alnorth]

Throwing error bites 'em in the ass.

oddly enough its not scored as an error. If you blow a pickoff play and the runner doesn't get to third, its a stolen base no matter what.

[petegz28]

Billy's terrible D costs us......

[petegz28]

I fucking hate the camera angle and this field.

[kstater]

Billy's terrible D costs us......

Us?

[Rams Fan]

I fucking hate the camera angle and this field.

Target Field is awesome, though.

[SPchief]

Walk to billy, Frenchy coming up

[SPchief]

nice drive Frenchy

[petegz28]

And now billy's fat ass costs us.....:facepalm: ....lol

[milkman]

oddly enough its not scored as an error. If you blow a pickoff play and the runner doesn't get to third, its a stolen base no matter what.

I know, so the pitcher gets charged with an earned run, when in fact, that run would not have scored.

Francor with the double.

[DeezNutz]

I love you, billllaaayyyy, but damn you're one unathletic ****.

[SPchief]

Come on Bentiment

[KCUnited]

Dave Owen gets Billy thrown out 3/4 up the line this time last year.

[SPchief]

And now billy's fat ass costs us.....:facepalm: ....lol

Nobody would have scored there

[DeezNutz]

Dave Owen gets Billy thrown out 3/4 up the line this time last year.

United seeing the "bright"??? spot.

[petegz28]

Nobody would have scored there

Dyson would have.....:thumb:

[DeezNutz]

Nobody would have scored there

Disagree.

Someone with good instincts on the bases scores. Read the ball over the head off the bat, take advantage of the poor read off the wall.

Betemit: Awesome. Not sure about the call...

[keg in kc]

Nice, ah, swinging bunt there.

[SPchief]

Bentiment scratches one out

[petegz28]

Betemit meant to do that!!! He told me so...

[Dartgod]

Sweet!

[Demonpenz]

lets see how the rule that

[milkman]

That was close.

[petegz28]

Can Avilles fly out to the OF again?

[CoMoChief]

naked eye he looked out...but i take it :)

[CaliforniaChief]

C'mon Aviles. Gotta at least get Francouer home.

[DeezNutz]

lets see how the rule that

Talking about the Aviles out? Probably an out.

[milkman]

lets see how the rule that

LMAO

[Demonpenz]

lets see how the rule that

'

[keg in kc]

Talking about the Aviles out? Probably an out.I think the question is regular K or reverse K.

[SPchief]

Come on Aviles! do something, anything but get out

[DeezNutz]

That will work. Well done.

[petegz28]

Can Avilles fly out to the OF again?

Yes. Yes, he can. Good AB.

[SPchief]

Whoo hoo! Aviles sucks his way to an rbi

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice work.

[Dartgod]

Wow. Aviles with a productive out. Whoda thunk it?

[DeezNutz]

Pena needs more carries.

[milkman]

Come on Aviles! do something, anything but get out

He got out.

[SPchief]

Good job pena. Dayton, keep keep watching these guys behid the plate.

[CaliforniaChief]

Would love to see Escobar muscle up here.

[Demonpenz]

duensing 79 pitches

[DeezNutz]

Would love to see Escobar muscle up here.

Spoiler: don't watch.

[CaliforniaChief]

Nevermind.

[CaliforniaChief]

Spoiler: don't watch.

LMAO
I'm on Gamecast.

[petegz28]

Spoiler: don't watch.

I'm slightly diappointed in his bat so far. I saw him in Arizona and he has yard power and hit pretty good.

[alnorth]

lets see how the rule that

any barehand play is either an out or a hit. Unless a wild throw leads to a second base.

[DeezNutz]

I'm slightly diappointed in his bat so far. I saw him in Arizona and he has yard power and hit pretty good.

I'm keeping the faith. I don't think his approach looks that bad.

If the glove is elite, we need about marginal (.250/.350/.450). I think he can do this.

[petegz28]

any barehand play is either an out or a hit. Unless a wild throw leads to a second base.

I always get a hit with the barehand play but rarely ever get to 2nd base unless I've had a few.

[SPchief]

nice strikeout

[alnorth]

I always get a hit with the barehand play but rarely ever get to 2nd base unless I've had a few.

ROFL

[DeezNutz]

I always get a hit with the barehand play but rarely ever get to 2nd base unless I've had a few.

Maybe your best post.

Is this game on FSN?

[petegz28]

Is this game on FSN?

yes

[SPchief]

Come on Francis

[SPchief]

Is this game on FSN?
yes

[petegz28]

Need some good pitching and defense here

[alnorth]

Wow. This ump's strike zone is fricken enormous.

[Demonpenz]

they are playing half the cha cha slide half the song "They say the neon lights come out on broadway.

[SPchief]

3 straight pitches in the same spot. 2 balls and 1 strike

[DeezNutz]

No problem. DP and go bat.

[petegz28]

Not a bad walk there. Get the DP in order.

[Dartgod]

Come on double play.

[Sure-Oz]

DP time cmon francis

[SPchief]

shit

[Sure-Oz]

My god i hate the fucking twins

[petegz28]

Well that sucks.

[kcchiefsus]

Fuck you Francis. Fucking pussy.

[Demonpenz]

lets see how they rule this

Figures their bats would wake up against us.

[milkman]

Figures their bats would wake up against us.

Royals.

The cure for what ails ya.

[alnorth]

3 straight pitches in the same spot. 2 balls and 1 strike

all 3 of them should have been a ball. That he got one strike out of it says something about the ump. (and its disappointing that Francis walked a guy with such a big strike zone)

[Demonpenz]

Frank is trying out is C.B. his handle is black bear

[DeezNutz]

Fucking Escobar.

[SPchief]

damnit getz

[Sure-Oz]

Son of a bitch

[Demonpenz]

Mini Blizzards 1.99

[Dartgod]

Fuck fuck FUCK!!!

[Demonpenz]

Error on Escabar

[DeezNutz]

****ing Escobar.

damnit getz

Correct.

Incorrect.

:)

[Sure-Oz]

We got out of that inning pretty well

[Dartgod]

damnit getz
Definitely on Escobar. No damage done though.

[SPchief]

all 3 of them should have been a ball. That he got one strike out of it says something about the ump. (and its disappointing that Francis walked a guy with such a big strike zone)

I understand. But the ump has called that a strike all game and so Francis throws it there thinking he's going to get a strike yet gets 3 balls out of it. The ump isn't being consistent in that inning at all

[Sure-Oz]

whered they find this chick

[DeezNutz]

Target vs. Walmart. Classic battle.

Francour has 83 assists this year.

[keg in kc]

I should probably just copy and paste this into every game thread, but the thing I love about this team is that they make every game interesting. Usually in a good way.

[alnorth]

It looked like the Royals were going to foul and work Duensing out of the game, but now after a lot of quick outs he might get a solid 7 innings.

[petegz28]

ugh, our bats are quiet.....

[milkman]

I remember watching Harmon Killibrew.

[Demonpenz]

green light aviles

[SPchief]

did they just pitch around Aviles?

[kcchiefsus]

Wow, pathetic. Making a shitty pitcher look like Cy Young.

[Sure-Oz]

well that sucked, we better score soon

[chiefsfan987]

How many ground outs to the pitcher can you have in one game

[shakesthecat]

I remember watching Harmon Killibrew.

Harmon will harm ya, but Killibrew will kill ya.

[DeezNutz]

well that sucked, we better score soon

I heard there's a rule about that...

[chiefsfan987]

Wow, pathetic. Making a shitty pitcher look like Cy Young.

This pitcher has the Royals number. He hasn't lost to them yet I don't think.

[stonedstooge]

Got to keep it down Francis

[Dartgod]

Fuck no he doesn't look like a .107 hitter against us.

[Chiefless]

Players should be punished for following a 4 pitch walk with a first pitch ground out to the pitcher.

[Demonpenz]

This batting practice Jersey is broken, like your arm Josh Hamilton

[Sure-Oz]

WTF....Valencia can't steal Alex Gordons music

[alnorth]

good choice. That would have been very close at third.

[Demonpenz]

that was amazingly quick fake to third and a strike to butler, yuni would have fell down

[DeezNutz]

That bitch takes the 2-1 pitch but swings at that?

[SPchief]

Nice!

[DeezNutz]

Change is a bitch, son.

[Demonpenz]

Settle down francis

[milkman]

That bitch takes the 2-1 pitch but swings at that?

Struck out swinging on two balls.

[Dartgod]

Alright, good job of pitching out of that. Now lets get the bats going!

That will work

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Sweet

Better cash in on this

[stonedstooge]

HAHAHAH

[Sure-Oz]

DUNSHITTTT

[SPchief]

Ok, I'll take it

[milkman]

That'll work.

[Demonpenz]

teams are playing horrible defense on the royals. I hope that doesn't make yost bunt more

[Dartgod]

LOL. When did the Detroit Tigers show up?

[keg in kc]

I think they cloned Aviles and put several of him in Twinkies uniforms.

[Demonpenz]

I love the helmet Mauer wears.

[SPchief]

stalling

[keg in kc]

I love the helmet Mauer wears.You want to touch Mauer's little helmet don't you.

[Blankey]

Wow, Is Farnsworth really the Ray's closer?

[Demonpenz]

they will probably bring in a left handed reliever against gordo

[banyon]

Yikes, Twins literally throwing the game away

[SPchief]

nice!

[CHENZ A!]

EVERYBODY SAFE!

[keg in kc]

Wow. This is the weirdest half inning.

[Sure-Oz]

Yes

[SPchief]

got him on the knee

[Fish]

Word.

[milkman]

Score a run with 4 batters who never get the ball out of the infield.

[Dartgod]

Nice. Scored a run without getting the ball out of the infield.

[KCUnited]
