King Felix vs O'Sullivan. Yee-hah.

Even O'Sullivan's stats look like they have a lol buried in it.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Why is Wilson Betemit not playing?

[alnorth]

Hey Dyson, you haven't played much all year, but today you are leading off against one of the best pitchers in the American League. Make us proud!

[Mizzou_8541]

Hey Dyson, you haven't played much all year, but today you are leading off against one of the best pitchers in the American League. Make us proud!

Getz batting second? That seems odd.

[Coach]

We're so gonna get dominated by the "King".

[Three7s]

This lineup doesn't stand a chance. Last night we ran out our C-lineup and we got lucky that Bedard sucks. Today is our B-lineup with a terrible pitcher starting for us. Looks like the first blowout of the year for us.

[alnorth]

Seriously though, this is our path to victory.

O'Sullivan gives up 4 runs through 6. (only four because Seattle has a pop-gun offense) Our bullpen takes over and blanks Seattle the rest of the way. We fail to score on King Felix or maybe we scratch out a run, but we manage to foul off pitches and work him over to the point that he's out in the middle of the 7th or after 7. Gordon, Butler, and Kila go completely Ape on their setup man, whoever he is. Betemit and Frenchy pinch hit to lead us to the win. Soria ends the game with a 2-0 record.

[ROYC75]

Why is Wilson Betemit not playing?

This.


Good Luck Royals.

[kcfanXIII]

Why is Wilson Betemit not playing?

day game after a night game? good question though. he seems to be tearing it up.

[Saul Good]

This is the game where I figured we could rest our starters. Either way, today's game is just a freebie. You can't expect to win, so anything good is just gravy.

[Mr. Laz]

Why is Wilson Betemit not playing?because Aviles actually got a hit last night

[stonedstooge]

Resting Betemit two days in a row? What the hell. Yost trying to cool off his bat?

[alnorth]

Here's why we still have a chance to win today:

.170
.182

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

day game after a night game? good question though. he seems to be tearing it up.

He didn't play last night either

Hope he's not hurt

[KCrockaholic]

Well at this rate maybe O'Sullivan's pitch count gets high quickly so we can bring in our young studs.

[SPchief]

Dyson gets a leadoff walk

[alnorth]

The way Dyson runs, that was probably a 2-base walk

[SPchief]

Good patience Getz

[SPchief]

Dyson is going to be taking off here

Smoak strikes out (swinging)
Rodriguez singles to center

The amazing thing is Dyson is still yet to have an official AB, and he has 4 steals.

[SPchief]

That should do it, Jason Kendall is no longer a royal

[stonedstooge]

Damn Escobar makes it look so easy

[SPchief]

Oh, and nice grab by Escobar

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

That should do it, Jason Kendall is no longer a royal


I'm scared to get my hopes up

[stonedstooge]

Good hustle Melky

[kstater]

When did the Royals and Mariners switch teams?

[SPchief]

Nice blooper

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

ROFL That wind must be a bitch

[Sure-Oz]

Huge hit, 1-0 royals

[kstater]

w00t

[SPchief]

Aviles!

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Eviles!!!

[SPchief]

And King Felix didn't even try to get that

[Sure-Oz]

Aviles owned

[SPchief]

:banghead:

[stonedstooge]

Nice

[kstater]

dumbass

[alnorth]

eh, he's got a good move. If you are going to be a crazy running team, thats gonna happen sometimes.

[alnorth]

This strike zone is about as solid and consistent as the wax inside a lava lamp.

I love you, Escobar.

[alnorth]

Ladies and Gentlemen: your Royals starting shortstop

[Saulbadguy]

Wow, Escobar is awesome.

[stonedstooge]

Escobar is a diamond in the rough

[Archie Bunker]

Man Escobar is slick

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

I love me some Escobar

(no homo)

[Kyle DeLexus]

Love Escobar's defense

[stonedstooge]

Smooth as silk

[Sure-Oz]

There was a reason Escobar was a top prospect

[Mizzou_8541]

Love Escobar's defense

I'm unable to watch the game. What happened?

[kcfanXIII]

ESCOBAR!!!!

[alnorth]

Escobar just saved us a run on a play that hardly anyone could have made. That was about as good as hitting a solo homer.

[Dartgod]

I love me some Escobar.

[stonedstooge]

Escobar making hard plays look easy

[stonedstooge]

Anyone know how long the Royals have Escobar under contract?

[KCrockaholic]

I don't care what Escobar does as a hitter, because his defense is priceless.

[duncan_idaho]

Anyone know how long the Royals have Escobar under contract?

He's in his second year, so he has four more years of arbitration-controlled contract time (he might qualify as a super-two and be eligible for arbitration after this season).

[WoodDraw]

Anyone know how long the Royals have Escobar under contract?

2016 will be his first year of free agency.

[alnorth]

Anyone know how long the Royals have Escobar under contract?

He wont be a free agent until 2016 at the earliest.

[stonedstooge]

what's a super-two?

[Kyle DeLexus]

I'm unable to watch the game. What happened?

Escobar just saved us a run on a play that hardly anyone could have made. That was about as good as hitting a solo homer.

This. Made a diving stop, got up quick and still made the throw to first in time. Only 2 or 3 shortstops in the league could make that play IMO.

[alnorth]

This. Made a diving stop, got up quick and still made the throw to first in time. Only 2 or 3 shortstops in the league could make that play IMO.

and the base-runner was freaking Ichiro, so it wasn't like he had a slow runner to deal with.

[alnorth]

what's a super-two?

You usually don't qualify for salary arbitration until you have 3 years, but if you fall just barely short of the 3rd year after the season is ended, you may qualify as a super two and get salary arbitration.

Super 2 is just a money thing, not player control.

[stonedstooge]

Thanks

[Mizzou_8541]

This. Made a diving stop, got up quick and still made the throw to first in time. Only 2 or 3 shortstops in the league could make that play IMO.

Awesome...liking this guy. Thanks for the input.

[KCrockaholic]

And it was with Ichiro running BTW. Makes it even more spectacular, cause Ich is fast as shit.

[Sure-Oz]

ugh

[alnorth]

Top 4th

Langerhans flies out to left
Cust singles to left

[Kyle DeLexus]

And it was with Ichiro running BTW. Makes it even more spectacular, cause Ich is fast as shit.

Yeah I forgot to add that part but that's what made it a truly amazing play.

[alnorth]

Took King Felix a couple innings to figure out this ump's tiny strike zone. O'Sullivan just cant.

[Oso]

Fuck yeah!

[SPchief]

NICE

[Sure-Oz]

The Mariners really are the Royals

[Blankey]

Phew... can we put in Crow now? :)

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Is the Mariner's offense THAT bad? I can't belive O'Sullivan's got a shutout going

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

That.... is sweet.

[alnorth]

Is the Mariner's offense THAT bad? I can't belive O'Sullivan's got a shutout going

It is very bad, and O'Sullivan is legitimately putting in the very best mediocre performance he's possibly capable of in front of a good defense.

Sean is up to about 70 pitches and wobbling. He might go 5, but thats probably it.

[Kyle DeLexus]

Gordon = Dominating

[SPchief]

Thats a 10 game hitting streak for Gordon now

[SPchief]

Billy you got to swing at that

[SPchief]

wow, you would think that Hernandez would get that call

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Is the Mariner's offense THAT bad? I can't belive O'Sullivan's got a shutout going

Ryan Langerhans in the 3 hole pretty much says it all ROFL

[alnorth]

The ultimate pitching equalizer: a very bad ump with a very small strike zone.

Felix was squeezed.

[stonedstooge]

Billy look like he slide about a foot and a half

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Nice job

[KCrockaholic]

Holy shit, I thought that fat guy was Charlie Weis.

[Old Dog]

2-0 good guys

[SPchief]

damn

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Damn

[SnakeXJones]

Jesus Kila sucks call up Robinson

[alnorth]

This ump has jacked up the pitchcounts. If Seattle doesn't crush O'Sullivan right now, they could be in a lot of trouble.

I'm getting deja vu back when we gave Greinke no support and lost by a run.

[alnorth]

Top 5th

Ryan singles to right
Suzuki reaches on a 5-4 fielder's choice, Ryan out at second
Figgins flies out to center
Langerhans strikes out (swinging)

Dyson strikes out (looking)

Gordon doubles to center, Getz and Escobar scores
Butler singles to right, Gordon scores
Ka'aihue flies out to center

3 runs, 3 hits, 1 error

[stonedstooge]

Evilas just about got Getz killed

[alnorth]

O'Sullivan's ERA has dropped more than 6 points so far today.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Can't ask for much more from O'Sullivan

[stonedstooge]

So far I guess

bad pitching < bad hitting

Double negative would be right wouldn't it?

[SPchief]

Tiny Tim warming up







And he calls that a strike?

[Blankey]

Chone Figgins is a bad baseball player

[SPchief]

This ump sucks

[SnakeXJones]

Chone Figgins is a bad baseball playerI think he just gave up as a baseball player since he signed that contract in seattle

[alnorth]

This ump sucks

Its getting so silly that I looked it up, he's Ted Barrett

[Oso]

Dominating!

[Blankey]

DOMINATED

[SPchief]

Domination baby!

[Mr. Laz]

ALICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stonedstooge]

GORDON

[petegz28]

Nice hit there, Alice!

[KcMizzou]

Gordon! :clap:

[alnorth]

Every run this inning is unearned

[Titty Meat]

Will his pick be justified if he keeps playing like this the rest of his career?

[Oso]

Billay!!!!

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Billay!

[SPchief]

Way to hang in there Billay!

[Mr. Arrowhead]

that is what happens when your 3 and 4 hitters are good hitters

[Mr. Laz]

Nice at bat by Billy ... adjusted and just took that crap to the opposite field.

:clap:

[kstater]

Who are these guys?

[Blankey]

Billy as been amazing at driving that outside pitch to oppo field

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

LMAO

I'll be a beliver if they are still winning games in Mid May

[alanm]

must ..... not ... begin .... to ..... hope ....It's a nice start to the season. But that's all it is.. A nice start.

[Mr. Arrowhead]

thats got to be embarrassing if Billy steals on you

[SPchief]

must ..... not ... begin .... to ..... hope ....

I just keep telling my self that it's only a little over 2 weeks in

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

must ..... not ... begin .... to ..... hope ....


Same here

With the team as a whole and Alex Gordon

[KCrockaholic]

Welp, this has been a fun beginning to the season. We have seen flashes of what this team can be. They are a decent team. But no where near where they need to be to be a consistent playoff contender. Fun team to watch, that's for sure.

[stonedstooge]

Kollins

[alnorth]

Looks like Tiny Tim shook off whatever the hell was wrong with him yesterday

[kstater]

[Coach]

Sit your ass down.

[Coach]

FINISH HIM!

[SPchief]

nice

[alnorth]

Thanks Saunders. The last one was a strike, but a couple of those pitches may have been called a ball by this clown.

When in doubt and its less than 2 strikes, just don't swing the bat today.

[Coach]

Are you fucking kidding me, ump?

[Archie F. Swin]

are you fucking kidding me?

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

[SPchief]

I guess just throw it straight down the middle

[Archie F. Swin]

see, size doesn't matter

[Mizzou_8541]

Just turned on Gameday....Collins just struck out the side?

[Archie F. Swin]

that was strike 4`

[Coach]

Just turned on Gameday....Collins just struck out the side?

Mixed in with a walk and a double, very questionable home plate umpire but no runs scored, so yes he did stike out the side.

[alnorth]

Just turned on Gameday....Collins just struck out the side?

He struck out 4 guys, but only got credit for 3.

[alnorth]

This pitcher was obviously paying attention. He's just tossing them right down the middle.

You know....I can't tell who is gonna be better between Crow, Jeffress, and Collins. They are all bursting with talent.

[alnorth]

So, what do you do when the ump sucks and wont give the corners or the low strike?

Bring in the fireballer and just fire them in there.

[Dave Lane]

Seriously though, this is our path to victory.

O'Sullivan gives up 4 runs through 6. (only four because Seattle has a pop-gun offense) Our bullpen takes over and blanks Seattle the rest of the way. We fail to score on King Felix or maybe we scratch out a run, but we manage to foul off pitches and work him over to the point that he's out in the middle of the 7th or after 7.

Quoted for lutz :)

Damn.....didn't expect this against "King" felix......the Mariners are just awful.

[Coach]

Good catch. That was tough.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Yuni would have butchered that pop up

[alnorth]

Dont even bother with that knee-high crap. This ump doesn't believe in low strikes.

[Coach]

Whoa!

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Holy Shit

[SPchief]

:eek:

[Archie F. Swin]

murder ball

[alnorth]

Our pitcher almost died.

That Grienke trade on the surface has made the Royals a much better team.

[Titty Meat]

What's up baseball? -Jeremy Jeffress

[Archie F. Swin]

I'm really anxious to see this team in person. My first chance will come Friday for game 1 of Royals at Rangers. I'm totally jacked!

[alnorth]

I've seen a hell of a lot of games that looked just like this from the other side. Baserunner every inning, never score, key error leads to 3 unearned runs, long miserable day.

[Coach]

This is my 3rd game live. I'm trying to understand if the Gods of baseball are just f'ing w/me.

I don't know man. They're playing pretty solid baseball. Helps alot when Alex is (hopefully, knocking on wood) finally performing better than what we were used to see.

[CoMoChief]

That Grienke trade on the surface has made the Royals a much better team.

What did kc get for him again?

Not too sure if i like that trade.....good starting pitching is huge in mlb. Though our bullpen so far has been good, Hoch doesn't deserve to be starting but is because we don't have anything else.

[Archie F. Swin]

the pitcher's name is Dwight Funke?

I'm sold now that it was a great trade.

[KCrockaholic]

When I think about it, the Greinke trade could end up similar for us as the Jared Allen trade did.

"The Royals announced Sunday that they acquired shortstop Alcides Escobar, outfielder Lorenzo Cain and right-handed pitching prospects Jake Odorizzi and Jeremy Jeffress from the Brewers in exchange for Greinke, shortstop Yuniesky Betancourt and cash considerations."

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=5935586

The fact that Greinke hasn't pitched yet, and Escobar and Jeffress is doing well, I'd say it's fairly even. Hell, it got rid of Betancourt, that alone is also a win, for KC.

[Saul Good]

I've got high hopes for Cain, he's supposed to be an excellent center fielder, if he can hit.

[SAUTO]

This actually has the potential to be quite a but better IMO.

[Archie F. Swin]

I remember when Smoak was the infielder OTF for the Rangers. They traded him before the end of his first major league season.

[Mr. Laz]

wow ... i didn't know you could "decline" a balk

[Coach]

GD it!

[alnorth]

3 of those 4 balls were in the strike zone.

This ump should be flipping burgers.

[Mr. Laz]

that was gawd dam strike

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Nasty

[alnorth]

Denny: "This is a big man with a little strike zone"

[Coach]

Same location of the last pitch, and he rung him up.

This ump really needs his eyes checked.

[SPchief]

heh

[Dartgod]

LOL, almost in the exact same spot. This ump is and idiot.

[Mr. Laz]

Treanor needs to do a better job of bring the ball back into the strike zone

[Blankey]

We've had a lot of bad umps so far but this might be the worst

[KCrockaholic]

This actually has the potential to be quite a but better IMO.
Posted via Mobile Device

Well dude, thanks to the JA trade, the Chiefs have Jamaal Charles, and a good LT. That's hard to beat considering Charles is arguably the best HB in the NFL.

[Coach]

Holy hell... 100 mph pitch.

[SPchief]

Sit the fuck down


100 mph

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

That was fire

[Mr. Laz]

Jeffress heating up

[Archie Bunker]

100 mph bitches

I tuned in at the 6th inning; why was O'Sullivan pulled?

Lots of pitches, very shaky all day, incredible defense behind him.

Escobar would have had him

Wow. Nice defense, but somehow Gordon beat out the throw.

ROFL

[Coach]

LMAO @ the pitcher.

What the fuck was that?

[SPchief]

wtf was that?

[Archie F. Swin]

wow...this is a bad team

[duncan_idaho]

Wow, the Mariners' offense is bad. Almost pathetic. Collins and Jeffress pitched well, but the lack of productivity from this group is just... strange.

Anybody still want to trade GMs with the Mariners? Jack Z has fallen hard, and fast.

You could probably have a great time finding posts from about 12-13 months ago from Royals fans drooling over Jack Z.

A throwing error, and a wild pitch.

Man, he definately is out of his league.

[Mr. Laz]

now for the suicide squeeze!!!

The real test will be tomorrow

If they can make Davies look good, there's no hope for them

[Coach]

[Coach]

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Aviles again
