**** Official Royals vs. Yankees Thread May 3, @ Kauffman Stadium ****

[The Dawg]

Time for a winning streak / a win at home!

Also; Yuniesky Betancourt is on the DL. I'm sure many will be please by this news.


ROYALS WIN! ROYALS WIN!

[mr. tegu]

The hate for Yuni is a bit too much IMO. He is a solid major league backup who I am sure most would love if we had a regular starting second baseman not named Yuniesky Getz.

[mr. tegu]

Go Royals! Gold glove replica tonight. I am going for the bat on Saturday though.

[alnorth]

The hate for Yuni is a bit too much IMO. He is a solid major league backup who I am sure most would love if we had a regular starting second baseman not named Yuniesky Getz.

He's a fine utility backup, if he's primarily used to pinch hit and not used to give people a day off and start 3 times a week. In a limited role that emphasizes his offense and tries to keep his glove in the dugout, I'd be less enraged at seeing him on our active roster.

Whenever you can bring a "bat" off the bench that carries a .293 career OBP and a career 83 OPS+, you simply have to make that move.

Betancourt is and always has been a complete piece of shit.

[tk13]

This game is supposed to be on MLB Network.

When his avg dips below the Berroa Meter (.230) you may not feel the same.

[Bowser]

I thought friday night's game was supposed to be on MLB, not tonight's?

[Bowser]

The hate for Yuni is a bit too much IMO.

I'm not following you.

Mariano Rivera appears to have been injured in outfield during BP. He is being taken off the field on a cart. Looks bad. #Yankees

[Al Bundy]

Nate Bukaty ‏ @nate_bukaty

Here's Rivera in the cart, just now, after evidently injuring himself shagging flies during BP at the K. http://pic.twitter.com/zl2GdKxu

[Bowser]

Ha. Hahahahaha!

[stonedstooge]

Dude playing 3rd for the Skanks last night bounced his head on the ground while diving for a ball, came up to bat the next inning and stepped out on the 3rd or 4th pitch and about went down. They had to help him off the field and thought he may have concussed himself bouncing off the ground

[stonedstooge]

Riverea fucked his knee up big time. 5 years until he's in the Hall

[KcMizzou]

Gonna be interesting to see how things go for Duffy tonight. "Sitff elbow" and all.

[Ceej]

if the royals lose because a n00b started the game thread a BAN is in order!!!!!!!11!!!

[Bowser]

Gonna be interesting to see how things go for Duffy tonight. "Sitff elbow" and all.

*knocks on wood*

[stonedstooge]

Go Johnny Go Go must still not be ready. Called up some other dude to replace Yuni

[KCUnited]

Lot of rats out here tonight.

[chefsos]

Man, if you guys were gonna kneecap a MFY, you could've selected from a wide range of douches before you got to Rivera...

[stonedstooge]

Man, if you guys were gonna kneecap a MFY, you could've selected from a wide range of douches before you got to Rivera...

Quit your complaining. Orioles ought to be thankful

[DeezNutz]

*knocks on wood*

As in Kerry?

Motherfuck you, Bowser!!!!! Motherfuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[kstater]

Fucking guido's

[DeezNutz]

Lot of rats out here tonight.

As in "hood"?

Soundtrack from Next Friday in background...

[chefsos]

Quit your complaining. Orioles ought to be thankfulHeh. We just took two out of three from those jerks. Softened 'em up for ya.

[kstater]

Oh, I just saw we ended Rivera's career. That's a Sportscenter mention. Chalk another one up to Dayton.

[stonedstooge]

Heh. We just took two out of three from those jerks. Softened 'em up for ya.

Knocked out their 3rd baseman last night too. Thanks

[Bowser]

As in Kerry?

Motherfuck you, Bowser!!!!! Motherfuck you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11I didn't think before I spoke. I'll punch myself in the nose for you.

Oh, I just saw we ended Rivera's career. That's a Sportscenter mention. Chalk another one up to Dayton.

Heh, I laughed.

Yeah. Fixed it.

[BryanBusby]

Oh, I just saw we ended Rivera's career. That's a Sportscenter mention. Chalk another one up to Dayton.

Stay down, bitch?

[KC_Connection]

Kauffman ended Rivera's career.

[Great Expectations]

Duffy is great until the batter gets two strikes.

[stonedstooge]

Nice play Dyson

[Great Expectations]

Effing Dyson, why is he playing?

[SPATCH]

Saw that #23 on the mound and thought it was Greinke for a moment. I miss that wacky fucker.

[chefsos]

Kauffman ended Rivera's career.You just watch, they'll run him out there in the ninth on a horse like El Cid.

[Al Bundy]

Looks like Jeter knows there is a no talent shit for brains player in the outfield for the Royals.

[SPchief]

Thanks for costing us an out Dyson

[DeezNutz]

So anyone who tries to make the claim that Dyson is even average in the field knows absolutely nothing about baseball. That debate has ended.

What a fucking clown.

[Strongside]

Just turned the game on. Has Dyson fucked anything up yet?

[stonedstooge]

Don't quite understand why Dyson looks so lost in center. Seems like every fly ball his way he seems to missread it and has to readjust to make the simple plays

[kstater]

LMAO

Going out on top Jerry

http://espn.go.com/new-york/video/clip?id=7888283

[DeezNutz]

But he's fast, Dayton and Trey! Better play him in CF!!! Better keep him on the roster!

And before there's any reactionary bullshit, I don't care if he goes 4/4 tonight with 10 stolen bases; he's a piece of shit player who shouldn't be on a ML roster.

[DeezNutz]

Don't quite understand why Dyson looks so lost in center. Seems like every fly ball his way he seems to missread it and has to readjust to make the simple plays

Because he's fast. That's it. He's not a baseball player; he's less instinctual than Joey fucking Gathwright, no hyperbole with that statement either.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Somewhere Joey Gathright points and laughs.

(at Dyson, not you Deez)

[kstater]

HOT DAMN

[SPchief]

:eek: Sit the fuck down

[stonedstooge]

How many pitches that inning?

[Strongside]

Haha!!!! The camera cuts to Duffy right after the strikeout and catches saying "Yeah, Motherfucker." I love this guy.

[Great Expectations]

99? Where did that come from??

[Shogun]

Saw that #23 on the mound and thought it was Greinke for a moment. I miss that wacky ****er.

get the tin foil hats!

[SPATCH]

Like a dude who pitches with a dip in.

[kstater]

How many pitches that inning?
22

[Shogun]

@Buster_ESPN

Scouts' assessment of Danny Duffy is right on: When he puts it all together, he'll be scary-good. Just fired 99 mph for strike 3.

encouraging

[stonedstooge]

22

Thanks

[DeezNutz]

My last post for now about Dyson's piece of shit ass is to say that people who bitch about Mitch Maier also don't know a damn thing about baseball. And I say this with respect for Mecca, who was banging this drum in the last week or so. Mecca is a good poster who should be on this site more.

That said, Maier would be on most ML rosters as a bench player. That's what he is. He can fill in at any OF spot and give you average (and occasionally above-average) production in spot duty. In other words, he's a pro. Always prepared and always reliable.

He's who should be playing in the event of injury. The fact that Dayton and Trey don't seem to understand this makes me very, very worried.

[Strongside]

@Buster_ESPN

Scouts' assessment of Danny Duffy is right on: When he puts it all together, he'll be scary-good. Just fired 99 mph for strike 3.

Yeah...he's going to be legit.

[kstater]

No way they call that a hit.

[tk13]

DYSON MAKING THINGS HAPPEN ON THE FIELD!

[SPchief]

Don't be a dumbass Dyson

[kstater]

"Expert"?

This is the same guy that has coached this team to 4 billion pickoffs this year?

[mr. tegu]

Don't be a dumbass Dyson

This.

[Strongside]

Willie Mays Hayes on the basepaths.

[Strongside]

Shit, thought that had a chance.

[Shogun]

good shot alex

[mr. tegu]

Okay Dyson jeter took a base on you, did you not learn?

[SPchief]

Damn, the wind almost took that out.

[kstater]

Jeter advances on fly, Dyson the speedster barely makes it back to 1st.

[stonedstooge]

SHUT UP REX

[Shogun]

DYSON MAKING PLAYS

[tk13]

DYSON'S SPEED AFFECTING THE PITCHER.

[mr. tegu]

Okay Dyson jeter took a base on you, did you not learn?

I know that is off base and critical but his lack of instincts is frustrating.

[Strongside]

Come on Bill.

[mr. tegu]

Lol.

[kstater]

Holy shit that was Royals' bad.

[SPchief]

Dyson in their heads

[Shogun]

LOLOLOLOOL saw it coming in the windup and immediately started laughing

[Strongside]

WHAT IN THE NAME OF FUCK JUST HAPPENED THERE!?

[tk13]

DYSON HAS THE PITCHER COMPLETELY RATTLED. NOT SINCE RICKEY HENDERSON HAVE WE SEEN A PITCHER SO READY TO SOIL HIS PANTS.

[stonedstooge]

This dude pitching for the Skanks looks like he has the potential to be a Royal in the future

[mr. tegu]

Lift one out there Billy!

[SPchief]

Dyson's speed should have taken him home, nobody was covering the plate

[Strongside]

Jesus, that didn't look good for Rivera there.

[kstater]

ugh

[BryanBusby]

Butler you fat dumbas

[Al Bundy]

Belly!!!!!!

[mr. tegu]

Way to jinx him Rex.

[SPchief]

Jesus Billy

[Strongside]

God damn it. Dyson is the only player on this team.

[Al Bundy]

and Hos and Belly strand another RISP.

[Shogun]

I have a feeling, tonight, Getz is gonna hit FOR MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I have a feeling, tonight, Getz is gonna hit FOR MORE POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lazy fly to shallow right?

[mr. tegu]

Nice short inning here.

[mr. tegu]

Six pitches...nice!

[kstater]

6 pitches will work.

[stonedstooge]

Duffy has a 6 pitch second. Good for him

[Great Expectations]

6 pitches from Duff in the 2nd.

[SPchief]

Good inning Duffy

[Great Expectations]

Why don't they show fox tracks anymore?

[stonedstooge]

Why don't they show fox tracks anymore?

Royals think we would rather listen to Dumb Rex's analysis of the pitches

[kstater]

MOOSTACOS

[Shogun]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE

[SPchief]

MOOOOOOOSEEEEEE

[stonedstooge]

MMMOOOOOOOSSSSSEEEeeEEE

[mr. tegu]

Loopholes!

[BryanBusby]

Damn that was a nice hit

[tk13]

Good job Moose. The pitcher was still obviously rattled by what Dyson did on the basepaths in the first.

[mr. tegu]

Loopholes!

Stupid iPhone. Moooooose!

[kstater]

Damn that was a nice hit


Eh, he gained prolly 30 feet off the wind.

[Strongside]

Moose is looking sick nasty so far.

[SPchief]

Shut up rex

[Strongside]

Nice job queen tearo.

[stonedstooge]

Is it about time to switch Moose and Frenchy in the lineup? I say yes

[Blankey]

Ump robbed us of a walk there

[Strongside]

I bet when they cut to commercial they show the HR and Rex says something like ...."Mike Moustakas...Go ahead!"

[Shogun]

GETZ

[mr. tegu]

Is it about time to switch Moose and Frenchy in the lineup? I say yes

Won't happen because Ned likes to alternate lefty righty.

[SPchief]

Getz keep doing that and force us to trade Yuni

[Canofbier]

Getz has an .844 OPS so far this year.

[mlyonsd]

Score? Interested O's fan here.

[Great Expectations]

Is it about time to switch Moose and Frenchy in the lineup? I say yes

I thought they might pitch around Hoz in the first.

[kstater]

Score? Interested O's fan here.

You have an internet connection no?

[Strongside]

Score? Interested O's fan here.

1-0 KC

[stonedstooge]

Score? Interested O's fan here.

1 zip Royals

[Nightfyre]

this umps strike zone is a mile wide.

[Strongside]

JFC I swear there is a consensus among phone companies that in order to sell their products they need to create the world's most annoying commercials.

[Strongside]

this umps strike zone is a mile wide.

It may be a mile wide, but it's only 2" high.

[kstater]

Uh, Pete might want to look at that pitch.

[mr. tegu]

this umps strike zone is a mile wide.

Yep. Just keep pitching outside.

[Blankey]

Well at least the ump is consistently bad

[Strongside]

I hate the Yankees. But Jeter is incredible.

[mr. tegu]

Gees second time Jeter down 0-2. .600 against lefties!

[Canofbier]

Bad luck for Moose; looks like he had a bead on it and it took an unexpected hop.

[mr. tegu]

Fortunately it went in the seats? Rex? Hello? I would rather they get a chance for a lazy fly ball out than worry about the backdrop.

[Strongside]

Duffyyyy. The Duffmeister.

[tk13]

They switched the signs and Duffy didn't get it right and just gave Quintero a meatball on the wrist.

[stonedstooge]

Looks like Quintero needs to learn how to speak Engrish

[Strongside]

Looks like Quintero needs to learn how to speak Engrish

Why you no frow right peetch, cowboi?

[Great Expectations]

Why is Frenchy playing at Getz depth with Teixeira up?

[Mr. Laz]

so did Quintero pull a bull durham and tell the batter what pitch was coming after Duffy threw the wrong pitch?

:D

[Strongside]

Dyson leading off. Big inning here. Bet he goes yard...twice.

[Great Expectations]

Brett Commercial > Mike's Weeney commercial

[tk13]

DYSON WITH A SCREAMER. TERROR REIGNS ON THE BASEPATHS.

[Great Expectations]

Dyson leading off. Big inning here. Bet he goes yard...twice.

Being on First will have that effect. Probably better not to steal second so he can mess with the pitcher more.

[stonedstooge]

Dyson flinches to 2nd every throw to first

[mr. tegu]

Alright Hos.

[Great Expectations]

Double steal

[mr. tegu]

Phelps throws right down the middle everytime on the first pitch.

[Great Expectations]

Dyson flinches to 2nd every throw to first

He counters that with a flinch to first with every pitch.

[Canofbier]

ROFL at Hud's impression of Hosmer's mom.

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Royals up 2 to 1

[mr. tegu]

Nice hit. Come on Frenchy.

[Strongside]

ROFL at Hud's impression of Hosmer's mom.

Rex just went full retard.

[KC_Connection]

He's incapable of taking pitches.

[stonedstooge]

Frenchy fails on a grooved fastball

[Strongside]

Moose to mop up Frenchy's bullshit.

[mr. tegu]

Wow that was fat. French gotta hit that.

[mr. tegu]

We have been lacking big innings this year.

[petegz28]

Wow that was fat. French gotta hit that.

You can't hit what you can't see. Frenchy on every swing has his face looking down the 3rd base line before his bat crosses the plane of the plate.

He is trying to kill the ball every time he goes up there swinging long and lanky like a mad man. Personally I've seen enough of him already this year. He has terrible AB's and constantly strikes out or hits grounders cause he is trying to pull and rip the cover off the ball.

[tk13]

I always forget Andruw Jones is still in the league until I watch a Yankees game. This guy once hit 51 homers in a season.

[petegz28]

We have been lacking big innings this year.

We haven't had a big inning all year.

[Strongside]

OOOOOOH! MOOOSE! Smells like a Jam Sammich!

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/.a/6a00d8341c630a53ef0168e72041d6970c-800wi

[petegz28]

That's a terrible call. I've seen pitchers do much worse than that

[stonedstooge]

I've seen worse that weren't called balks

[Strongside]

Nice play Tupac.

[SPchief]

Whoa, Dyson tracked a ball down

[petegz28]

Ok, good play by Dyson...Duffy did the right thing going after him

[Canofbier]

<3 Dyson

[chefsos]

TK13 IS GOING TO POST ABOUT THIS IN ALL CAPS

[petegz28]

I've seen worse that weren't called balks

I was at a game where a Lefty was pitching and he would start towards first then swing his leg to home and the Ump's let him do it several times without ever calling a balk.

[stonedstooge]

Getz--Respect the Power

[petegz28]

Getz--Respect the Power

I have to admit he is hitting so much better this year. That was a good hit just a good play on defense

[Canofbier]

That was close - hell would freeze over the day that Getz got a ball over an outfielder's head.

[Strongside]

Dear God. Shut up Rex.

[stonedstooge]

Sit down Jeter

[petegz28]

Ump's had a liberal zone all night for both sides of the plate. I'll say that was low but not low enough.

[Strongside]

Rick Vaughan calls that pitch 'the Jeter seater'.

[stonedstooge]

Sit the fuck down Granderson

[petegz28]

If Duffy could be just a bit more efficient he is going to be nasty

[petegz28]

Good inning, Duffy....good inning

[Strongside]

If Duffy could be just a bit more efficient he is going to be nasty

He's the only legitimate frontline guy in our rotation IMO.

[stonedstooge]

If Duffy could be just a bit more efficient he is going to be nasty

That's been his trouble ever since he was called up. He gets 2 strikes quickly and then can't get the third stike without throwing 3 balls and 4 fouled off

[petegz28]

He's the only legitimate frontline guy in our rotation IMO.

I have to give it to Chen as well. Dude has pitched well the last couple years, he just gets no run support and his last outing he got majorly fucked by the Ump. When Chen pitches he gives a chance to win the game unlike our uh-hum, Ace.

[petegz28]

That's been his trouble ever since he was called up. He gets 2 strikes quickly and then can't get the third stike without throwing 3 balls and 4 fouled off

Good thing is he is young so hopefully that will come in time

[Strongside]

Hit it out Dyson.

[Al Bundy]

Petro is right about a lot of stuff, but he consistently says Duffy is a 5.

[stonedstooge]

Petro is right about a lot of stuff, but he consistently says Duffy is a 5.

I'd say a 4 right now with number 1 potential

[petegz28]

Well, there's the wide zone

[Strongside]

Bad call there. He's lucky Dyson didn't dirt roll his ass. Homie don't play that shit.

[Nightfyre]

Jesus. Fuck this ump.

[petegz28]

Jesus. **** this ump.

He's been consistent in his calls for both teams so...

[petegz28]

LMAO ...ball 4 to Alex is strike 3 to Dyson

[stonedstooge]

Skanks going to burn through their bullpen tonight. Fares well for the rest of the series

[Strongside]

LMAO ...ball 4 to Alex is strike 3 to Dyson

Ump is a bigot.

[Great Expectations]

Duffy's 99 mph fastball might cure his third strike problem.

[stonedstooge]

Billy out by a step

[Strongside]

Holy balls Bill is slow.

[petegz28]

JFC, just how slow is Belly?

[Mr. Laz]

i'm surprised that outfielders don't throw Billy out at 1st.

slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[petegz28]

i'm surprised that outfielders don't throw Billy out at 1st.

slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

He had to quit ont hat when he hit it....

[tk13]

Hosmer just passed Billy running back to the dugout on that base hit.

[stonedstooge]

Frenchy swinging 3 and 0? Yup

[petegz28]

thank god that was foul....WTF are you swinging on 3-0 for you dumbass?

[kstater]

Cmon Moose

[Great Expectations]

Mooooooooooose

[Mr. Laz]

moooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosetacos

[Strongside]

Frenchy, Tony Pena Jr. called...he wants his plate approach back.

[petegz28]

Frenchy swinging 3 and 0? Yup

And what did he do? Swung like a mad man with a long swing, his head pulled out and he rolled it over..thankfully foul

[chefsos]

You guys need to hurt the MFY right here, right now.

[stonedstooge]

Bust his fucker open Royals

[SPchief]

Make him throw a strike Moose

[kstater]

MOOOOSE

[Mr. Laz]

PBJ PBJ

moooooooooooooooooooooooose

[petegz28]

MOOOOOOSE!!!!

[Strongside]

The Moose is loose!!!!

[SPchief]

MOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSEEEEEEE

[Crush]

MOOOOSE!!!!!!

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Royals up 4-1

[Mr. Laz]

News flash - This just in ... Billy Butler finally reaches 1st base

[The Dawg]

* Moose comment here*

[Canofbier]

MOOSE!

[chefsos]

Girardi burned his lefty specialist Rapada too soon, I think.

[Strongside]

Dear God I can't wait until Perez is back.

[Mr. Laz]

Quintaro reminds me of that 'softball' player that played for Oakland and then was with the Royals for a year or something.

what was his name?

[Strongside]

That was pretty fucking efficient.

[PunkinDrublic]

Lol ESPN is treating the Mariano Rivera injury like it's a national tragedy.

[The Dawg]

Pretty nice outing by Duffy. Too bad he couldn't go a little deeper into the game.

[Great Expectations]

Yost not wasting time going to the pen for 2 straight games.

[AustinChief]

He must like black guys.

That's just wrong!

How about this wording instead...

Was just about to post this. I actually enjoy Rex when we're up.

[SPchief]

Expendable run

[The Dawg]

Should have had that one Alcides

Tough chance, but we're used to seeing him make that play. Ends up costing us a run with the sac fly.

[Al Bundy]

I am fucking sick of these "sinker ball" pitchers always throwing their "sinker" pitches belt high.

[Mr. Laz]

Adcock looks like he's struggling to get the ball over the plate

[stonedstooge]

Dyson is dysfunctional in center

[Mr. Laz]

Woooooo dyson makes the catch

barely

[SPchief]

Everytime I see that Riviera replay, I think it just screams that his career is done.



JFC Dyson
