Still have any hope? The Royals had better go at least 7-2 (http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=254372&page=144) in the next 9 games!

Drew Hutchison is 21 years old and has made only 6 starts above class A. There's no way in hell Dayton Moore would have thrown him out there tonight if he were running Toronto.

[The Dawg]

4-10 here we come!

[DeezNutz]

Battle of AA pitchers tonight at the K.

[Nightfyre]

Hosmer is definitely pushing to do too much. Seitzer needs to get through to him somehow. He swung on every first pitch yesterday. I am also noticing that the team as a whole is falling behind in the count quickly. Clearly this losing streak is getting in their heads. If someone on the coaching staff can't get through to these guys, it is going to be a long summer.

Completely agree. He looked over-matched in the 9th last night. He tried to hit that first pitch out of the park. He looked lost after that.

Battle of AA pitchers tonight at the K.

Great seats still available! Bring the kids out to the Little K!

So I guess this means He throws a 3 hit shutout against the Royals then? Bank on it.

[ChiTown]

Tonight, this kid will pitch like Cy Young. Well, at least we will make him look like him for an evening.

YUNIESKY BETANCOURT IS BATTING LEADOFF. I REPEAT: YUNI IS BATTING LEADOFF. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. EVERYONE TO BATTLE STATIONS IMMEDIATELY.

ROFL

Must win, we got to split this series
Posted via Mobile Device

[Shogun]

ROFL

HE DRAWS WALKS LIKE NOBODY ELSE ON THIS TEAM

[SCTrojan]

Yuni leading off? I have no words.

[stonedstooge]

Yuni leading off? I have no words.

Yost pre-game decisions are almost as poor as his in-game decisions. Quit tinkering with the line-up every day NED

[alnorth]

Yost pre-game decisions are almost as poor as his in-game decisions. Quit tinkering with the line-up every day NED

If Ned wasn't changing up the lineup every other day, he'd be crucified.

[AndChiefs]

Yost must be drunk early today.

[SCTrojan]

Yost pre-game decisions are almost as poor as his in-game decisions. Quit tinkering with the line-up every day NED

I'm not sure what bothers me the most - the lack of options, or the Royals having this almost will-sapping compulsion to have Betancourt on their team.

[chefsos]

1 out away from a perfect game for Phil Humber...

http://www.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?topic_id=28665884

[Three7s]

Remember back to when Yost named Chen the ace of the staff and I said he lost it and everyone here said they agreed with the decision? Yeah.....still lost it.

[alnorth]

There is no ace of the staff.

Chen was fine to start opening day by default.

[alnorth]

Looks like I've got somewhere to be tonight. I'll probably have to bail after about the 4th inning.

[Shogun]

I love Bruce chen, i still stand behind that move

[kstater]

Remember back to when Yost named Chen the ace of the staff and I said he lost it and everyone here said they agreed with the decision? Yeah.....still lost it.

The same Bruce Chen that has a 2.0 ERA, 7k/9, and only 13 hits in 3 outings?

[stonedstooge]

Lets turn it around tonight Royals

[kstater]

Great effort Yuni. Almost got to that one.

[kstater]

I'd bean him for that bush league BS

[stonedstooge]

Batista The Bitch into the double play to end the inning.

[Bowser]

Yuni with the Roger Dorn effort at second with that grounder. At least he didn't drop the relay throw to complete the double play. This time.

[Shogun]

really yuni? 2 straight fastballs down the middle?

[stonedstooge]

really yuni? 2 straight fastballs down the middle?

He likes that walk he got the other night. Requires less effort

[Shogun]

WOO

[kstater]

DOMINATING

[stonedstooge]

GOR GONE

[KcMizzou]

:clap:

[Bowser]

I'll be damned. Alex with opposite field power.

[kstater]

Wow, when was the last time Belly wasn't cleanup?

[Canofbier]

http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l249/SPRINGHEEL69/AwwYeah.png

[Shogun]

pretty impressed already by how well this guy is finding the strike zone so early in his career

[stonedstooge]

Wow, when was the last time Belly wasn't cleanup?

Last year when Yost was changing the lineup every day

[Bowser]

Hudler :"wordswordswordswordswordswordswords"

[The Dawg]

Stupid Rex.

[stonedstooge]

Stupid Rex.

How are you a Royals fan being in Washington?

[Bowser]

As bad as Yuni is at most things, Escobar is just as good.

[Shogun]

nice heads up play

[Bowser]

Now that was a lesson in shitty base running.

[stonedstooge]

Glad he didn't balk on that play. Nice job Mendoza

[KChiefer]

Mariners had a better day than the Red Sox ROFL

[Bowser]

Nice mullet, Mendoza. Heh.

[stonedstooge]

Got him rattled. Need to jump on the opportunity

[Bowser]

Predictable.

[Bowser]

Nice play, Moose.

[stonedstooge]

Mendoza works out of a mess

[KcMizzou]

Damn, Yuni with the lead off double.

[Bowser]

I knew Yuni had that in him!!1

[Dartgod]

I knew Yuni had that in him!!1

And I knew Gordon had that in him.

[Bowser]

Billy got hit in the moob.

[stonedstooge]

Hit a couple more and we score

[Shogun]

hosmer....

[Bowser]

Again, predictable.

[stonedstooge]

JFC. Another bullet stopped

[Canofbier]

Hosmer's goddamn cursed.

[Canofbier]

The hell kind of poll is this today? How is Perez even on the list?

[Bowser]

Fucking surround sound. That ball sounded like it hit right behind me.

[stonedstooge]

****ing surround sound. That ball sounded like it hit right behind me.

Yuni you on Twitter?

[lewdog]

I am sick with a sore throat and now watching Royals baseball is giving me a headache!

[stonedstooge]

Paulino throwing 96 in the minors? He must be feeling pretty good

[Shogun]

wheels are off

[Reaper16]

Mendoza is not a good pitcher. This organization overvalues Spring Training performances.

[Bowser]

Hey, look! We suck again!

[Bowser]

Damn, Gordon. You concievably had a chance to hose that guy at home.....

[Simplicity]

Hey... Usually we start well in the first month... Maybe it is opposite?! WE WINNIN THE WORLD SERIES!!!

[Archie F. Swin]

I love to watch Ned let pitchers twist in the wind.

[stonedstooge]

Ned's going to lose another one trying to let someone prove themselves

[Bowser]

We're getting blooped to death.

[Bowser]

Time to shave the mullet, Mendoza.

[ChiTown]

This is just an extremely embarrasingly shitty organization - heads to mutherfking toe.

[Archie F. Swin]

why the fuck do i even make time for this team?

[arrowheadnation]

I bet David Glass is watching reruns of Three's Company on TV land right now while sipping a glass of wine and sucking back on a fat ass cigar with no knowledge that his major league baseball team is faltering yet again due to his reluctance to spend money.

[chiefsfan987]

Hey... Usually we start well in the first month... Maybe it is opposite?! WE WINNIN THE WORLD SERIES!!!

I wouldn't say that, KC in the last 20 years have had a lot of starts just like this and went on to play the same way the rest of the season.

[Bowser]

I bet David Glass is watching reruns of Three's Company on TV land right now while sipping a glass of wine and sucking back on a fat ass cigar with no knowledge that his major league baseball team is faltering yet again due to his reluctance to spend money.

Got paid. Don't care. [/Glass]

[stonedstooge]

OH MY

[Archie F. Swin]

in what universe is that a ball?

[Canofbier]

in what universe is that a ball?

"Our Spacetime"

He's probably fapping to gay porn actually.

[ChiTown]

The Royals fans deserve a better owner. One that actually gives a shit about wins and losses and an owner that understands the game of baseball.

[Archie F. Swin]

When will someone get gravely injured by a broken bat?

[Archie F. Swin]

He's probably fapping to gay porn actually.

your avatar is glorious!

[lewdog]

We won't score 4 runs in this game and the one tomorrow combined!

[Bowser]

We won't score 4 runs in this game and the one tomorrow combined!

Way to go out on a limb, there.

[ChiTown]

We won't score 4 runs in this game and the one tomorrow combined!

Why does our fucking offense suck so gawdamn bad? It's unreal how shitty we have been.

[stonedstooge]

Keep going like this and the Royals probably won't be able to sellout the AllStar game

[The Dawg]

your avatar is glorious!

Thanks. It fits well

[lewdog]

Way to go out on a limb, there.

I am trying some revere psychology, so back off!

[Shogun]

Being destroyed by a AA pitcher. Priceless.

[ChiTown]

Lil' Cy Young taking us down.

[Archie F. Swin]

How much longer will Cain be out?

[Bowser]

Keep going like this and the Royals probably won't be able to sellout the AllStar game

$9,300 for the Crown Royal seats! Bargain!

[Three7s]

What are the odds of going 3-158?

[Bowser]

Being destroyed by a AA pitcher. Priceless.

Watch him get sent back down after this game, never to return. This will be the one game he gets to tell his grandchildren about.

[stonedstooge]

$9,300 for the Crown Royal seats! Bargain!

No shit? That's insane

[Bowser]

No shit? That's insane

AND, you have to buy a minimum of two seats!

[Simplicity]

I say we go on a strike at the All-Star game... Nationally televised... That would sure get the front office's attention.

[Shogun]

can escobar just play all infield positions? hes fast enough

[Dartgod]

What are the odds of going 3-158?

No way. We're on pace for.... 37-125


:banghead:

[Shogun]

No way. We're on pace for.... 37-125


:banghead:

Thats more wins than we have fingers and toes. thats a lot of wins.

[Archie F. Swin]

No shit? That's insane

you have to pay large to see REAL major leaguers at the K

[stonedstooge]

you have to pay large to see REAL major leaguers at the K

I wonder what the Royals cut is on hosting. Glass get to keep it or does it have to be spent?

[ChiTown]

Odds of the Royals scoring another run tonight?

[Archie F. Swin]

Today I bought good seats to Royals @ Rangers (May 14th). Had it been any other visting team I would have had to pay out the ass. But since it was the Royals I just had to send the ticket booth one of my tears.

[Shogun]

Escobar has really evolved as a hitter since the first game last year

[Simplicity]

Odds of me throwing a second remote at the TV tonight?

[Bowser]

Odds of the Royals scoring another run tonight?

About the same as you hitting your 100 dollar bet on a number at Roulette.

[Bowser]

Odds of me throwing a second remote at the TV tonight?

98% certainty

[Mizzou_8541]

Any chance we score Escobar? Any chance we move him to third even?

[Archie F. Swin]

come on, Sniffles! Doesnt have to be a homer.

[Dragonocho]

Too bad we don't have a pitcher like Humber on our team. I cannot freaking believe that we Released him 16 months ago!

[Shogun]

MAIER!

[Archie F. Swin]

SEE!!

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Triple for Snort

[Mizzou_8541]

Any chance we score Escobar? Any chance we move him to third even?

ROFL good call.

[ChiTown]

About the same as you hitting your 100 dollar bet on a number at Roulette.

So you are saying there's a chance. Thank you Mr Maier!

[Archie F. Swin]

What's gotten into Yuni?

[Simplicity]

Maier hits a ball... #YOLO

[Shogun]

YUNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[stonedstooge]

Yuni loves those slap singles

[ChiTown]

That was a seeing eye Yuni.

[Shogun]

Montgomery pitched well last night if you were all wondering

[Archie F. Swin]

I'm hungry for a County Breakfast

[ChiTown]

I'm hungry for a County Breakfast

Which County?

[Archie F. Swin]

Which County?

uuummm...jackson?

[Shogun]

rofl

[ChiTown]

ROFL

Billay!

[alnorth]

That ground ball, with Butler running, actually had a chance at being a triple play.

[stonedstooge]

So many fails

[lewdog]

I just want a "doinker."

[stonedstooge]

HOSMER with the dinger

[Shogun]

MONKEY OFF YOUR BACK

[lewdog]

Suck it!!!!

[Archie F. Swin]

Whoop there it is!!

[ChiTown]

MERRY HOSMESS!

[arrowheadnation]

FINALLY!!! THE HOS HAS COME BACK TO HITTING THE BASEBALL!!!!

[Shogun]

now theyre having fun

[Canofbier]

About damn time! Hos was due after all the shitty luck he's had lately.

[SPATCH]

Mendoza has been absolute shit the third time through the order. He could be serviceable in the pen with the amount of groundballs he induces, but we have got to get Paulino into the rotation ASAP and get Mendoza the fuck out.

[The Dawg]

Butler the king of the double play.

Good to see Hosmer get the monkey off his back. He had been hitting the ball well.

[ChiTown]

Fkg hell, let's hope this gets our bats going.

[Simplicity]

Triple play!!!

[Archie F. Swin]

Soooo. you guys like Physioc or LeFevre better on the TV call?

[Shogun]

Soooo. you guys like Physioc or LeFevre better on the TV call?

im just used to lefebvres voice, i like them both though

[Reaper16]

Soooo. you guys like Physioc or LeFevre better on the TV call?

Would prefer that the two of them call games together, actually.

[Shogun]

fuck

[stonedstooge]

Damn Teaford

[ChiTown]

Well, that was short-lived. Lol

[Bowser]

At least we can definiteively say we had a lead in this game at one time.

[The Dawg]

Don't keep the lead! Don't keep the lead!

[arrowheadnation]

FUCK OUR PITCHING STAFF!!!!

[Reaper16]

That homer was as no-doubt as you can get. Jesus this fucking team.

[Archie F. Swin]

speaking of shitty teams...wonder how soon Valentine' gonna get canned?

[stonedstooge]

speaking of shitty teams...wonder how soon Valentine' gonna get canned?

I'm sure the players will decide

[arrowheadnation]

In other news... Matt Kemp just hit his 9th homer of the year. Wonder how long it will be until he starts getting the McGwire/Bonds treatment (I mean intentional walks, not weekly drug tests). At the current time, he leads the majors in:

.474ba...LEADS MLB
27 hits...LEADS MLB
20 runs...LEADS MLB
9 hrs...LEADS MLB
21 rbi...LEADS MLB

[stonedstooge]

What was that? A 500' foul?

[ChiTown]

Holy fuck, that was a big foul shot by Bautista. Gawdamn.

[stonedstooge]

Loves me some Escobar

[Shogun]

lol @ the OP post with the W-L posted already

[Shogun]

bullshit strike

[stonedstooge]

Maier's got busted twice tonight with pitches out of the strike zone

[lewdog]

Maier has gotten some shit called strikes over the last few games.

[alnorth]

lol @ the OP post with the W-L posted already

The purpose of that is to show who is on the hook for the win and the loss, and if there's a save situation. I'm not predicting anything.

[Shogun]

The purpose of that is to show who is on the hook for the win and the loss, and if there's a save situation. I'm not predicting anything.

Oh, have you always done that? I've never really noticed.

[ChiTown]

That wasa well-struck ball by Yuni

[ChiefsCountry]

Soooo. you guys like Physioc or LeFevre better on the TV call?

Physioc is better on the radio. Him and Denny are great together.

This ump is super inconsistent on that corner.

Yuni never moved on that play. I know he was playing way deep but shit

[Shogun]

so many home runs

[ChiTown]

And that is the ball game.

[alnorth]

ball flies in at 100, flies out at 200.

A fastball with no movement = a long home run.

[BigMeatballDave]

100-loss season underway...

100-loss season underway...

Well, the first 11 appear to be in the bag, anyway.

[BigMeatballDave]

I really thought this team could win 80-85 games. LOL

I'm an idiot.

[alnorth]

Our offense came through tonight. Any time you score more than 4, you really ought to win, even in the AL.

[alnorth]

I really thought this team could win 80-85 games. LOL

I'm an idiot.

I didn't expect our pitching to be quite this bad

They were never going to win that many games with this pitching staff.

[Deberg_1990]

Well, there's always next year.....


Ill Bet Yost is gone by May 1st......Moores second manager fail.

[Nightfyre]

WTF gordon? Head first?

[Archie F. Swin]

this is almost surreal

[ChiTown]

Well, there's something u don't see very often. A BILLAY double play.....

[stonedstooge]

this is almost surreal

Hard to believe isn't it?

[lewdog]

Anytime the bats are going, the pitching isn't. Anytime the pitching is working, the hitting isn't.

[alnorth]

I'm out, I'll update the box later.

[petegz28]

This team is the laughing stock of baseball...get pitching, can't hit...get hitting can't pitch

Isn't this back-back Saturday's we've allowed 9+ runs?

[BigMeatballDave]

this is almost surreal

Its a fucking nightmare.

I truly expected a solid team. These turds are guttless.

[BigMeatballDave]

I'm out, I'll update the box later.

Why bother?

[The Dawg]

May as well trade everyone away and try to build for 2022. I'd say we have a window opening in 10 years.

[Deberg_1990]

If I were the owner I'd fire DM and Yost on the spot after this game. but we have an absentee owner who doesn't care about wins...

[Three7s]

Its a ****ing nightmare.

I truly expected a solid team. These turds are guttless.
I'm still trying to figure out how anyone in this city could possibly remain optimistic about a 3-11 start. All I hear is the whole "it's okay guys, everything will start magically working if they just keep playing!" In my vocabulary, that's called denial.

[ChiTown]

Herrera is actually pitching now, instead of just trying to blow away ML hitters with his fastball.

[58kcfan89]

My God, will it never end?

At least Glass will get to show off all that Kauffman stadium advertising to the world!

I'll just comcede at this point that we are going to get swept by the Jays as well. Question: when does the bleeding stop? After 10, 11, 12, 15 losses?

When we are +20 Games under .500, we'll kick it into gear, Buddy Bell style!

[Sure-Oz]

STFU REX!

[Archie F. Swin]

This will be one of the most obscure references in a Royals thread ever, but Moustakas resembles the Canadian pop star Hawksley Workman.

Maybe if we lose we could get the first picm in the draft and get someone Good.

I actually took delivery on a Sporting t-short this week. Couldn't name a single player though.

[ChiTown]

Maybe if we lose we could get the first picm in the draft and get someone Good.

Why? So he can come up to the Club after 5 years in the Minors and join a shit organization for more mediocre to absolutely crappy baseball? YAY!?

I am fuc king jaded right now.

[Braincase]

We should likely neg you into the red for this shitty post.

Feel free to do so right after the Royals are back in first place.

[lewdog]

Feel free to do so right after the Royals are back in first place.

Ok so that will never happen but I would still rather watch the last place Royals than a soccer game at any level.

[Archie F. Swin]

what would you do for a escobar?

[stonedstooge]

Hudler with the expertise in how to handle failure

[Sure-Oz]

Feel free to do so right after the Royals are back in first place.

Yeah there is a soccer thread you can post that shit in dude. I dont care, but good for the soccer fans of kc

[Archie F. Swin]

Maier's a big fella, eh?

[stonedstooge]

Royals trying to make it a more crushing loss

[Al Bundy]

Shit.

[ChiTown]

9 straight.

[Sure-Oz]

"Hit sharply!! But right at a fielder!"

The KC Double Plays!

[stonedstooge]

And another

The only thing the Royals have really managed to accomplish throughout the season is to not get blown out. Hurray?

[Sure-Oz]

Seeing some Improvements!! the eternal optimist Rex

[The Dawg]

I can't stand the broadcasting crew. It's probably just because the team is losing. But I want to gouge my eyes out while chopping my ears off watching the game.

Again, the marketing on this season was way too aggressive. They should have saved "Our Time" for 2013 or 2014, 2012 was always going to be a year where we enjoy an all-star game and mark time until our pitching prospects finally figure out the minor leagues.

Yeah but as much as it sucks- he has been one of the most potent bats in the line-up. Let that sink in for a minute. Yuni. Best option at the plate. Our Time.

The marketing campaign for this year should have been "2012, the year our prospects completely flame out."

We'll win tomorrow. For sure.

It's as bad as when they had Kendall taking up one of the top 2 spots.
