Kansas City Royals vs. Chicago Unwashed 7/14/12

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Hochevar vs. Peavy

A Royals win... Put it on the booooaaaaaarrrrddd.... YES!

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Take a drink for every Hawkism, be drunk by the 2nd.

Chopper two hopper might get you there alone since his uses it for 3 and 4 hoppers as well.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Holy crap I get the game on tv tonight. Not usually a good omen.

[Nightfyre]

You're overthinking this kid. Just go out and play your best.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

You're overthinking this kid. Just go out and play your best.

Talking to me or am I missing something clever?

[stonedstooge]

Hope the homeplate ump is consistent tonight

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I wonder if Adam Dunn, Konerko, whatever other Sux were there just chilled in the hotel in KC for two days after the ASG since the rest of the team was coming to town.

[mr. tegu]

Holy crap I get the game on tv tonight. Not usually a good omen.

We haven't seen you on here for a while in game threads. Maybe that is a good omen ;)

[Mizzou_8541]

Why is Dyson is CF and not Cain?

[mr. tegu]

Dyson in for Cain :banghead:

Just because its a tough righty. Hey Yost! At some point Cain might have to hit a tough righty!

[mr. tegu]

Why is Dyson is CF and not Cain?

Tough right handed pitcher...:#

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

We haven't seen you on here for a while in game threads. Maybe that is a good omen ;)

Since I usually can't see the game I don't have a lot to say in game threads. I read them to follow along while on gamecast, more than post

[stonedstooge]

Ned liked his effort last night

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Dyson in for Cain :banghead:

Just because its a tough righty. Hey Yost! At some point Cain might have to hit a tough righty!

This... and Dyson is so good against righties anyway. Ugh.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Perfect game still in play...

Ah, I see. For future reference you can usually find the games here: http://www.vipbox.tv/

[Nightfyre]

So, mlb.tv offered me 40% off my purchase in the mlb.com shop (for the inconvenience they provided yesterday), so I ordered a Perez Jersey. Just to warn you guys, he will probably get injured tonight and never play at the same level again.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Ah, I see. For future reference you can usually find the games here: http://www.vipbox.tv/

Thanks. Sometimes streams aren't even worth watching on my crappy loaner computer from work but I'll give that one a try.

[mr. tegu]

I seem to recall the last time a few starts ago that Hoch needed to pick up the bullpen he pitched 9 innings. Hopefully he can do it again.

[Mizzou_8541]

Tough right handed pitcher...:#

Oh FFS. Let the young players develop.

[Shogun]

they said dyson is in because they are watching cains innings for now. went 14 last night, want his groin to rest

Why do you always have to ruin everything?

[Nightfyre]

What was the inconvience?

They had a pretty severe outage yesterday coming off the all-star break.

[mr. tegu]

Gordon a tad unlucky there.

[Nightfyre]

Gordon made good contact, thats a good sign for us.

[mr. tegu]

They had a pretty severe outage yesterday coming off the all-star break.

Wasn't the game free though? Did you have to e-mail a complaint to get the discount? And more importantly did you bring enough for everyone? :D

[Nightfyre]

They emailed the discount to me. I didn't have to complain or anything. And no, the game wasn't free yesterday.

[Shogun]

Hosmer sucks

[Nightfyre]

Hosmer, you need a AAA stint. Seitzer clearly isn't coaching you properly.

[mr. tegu]

Hosmer :facepalm:

[Mizzou_8541]

Wow, great AB Hosmer.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

What was it about that pitch that looked anything like a strike Hosmer? I must be nice as a pitcher knowing you don't even need to try hard to get a guy out.

[mr. tegu]

Hosmer, you need a AAA stint. Seitzer clearly isn't coaching you properly.

I keep saying he is being coached too much. They are making him be way too patient up there. I have never seen anyone swing so little at fastballs early in the count.

[Shogun]

EVERYBODY ON THE CLUTCHCOBAR WAGON

[mr. tegu]

Konerko doing his best Frenchy impression with a first pitch bomb.

[stonedstooge]

God Ned, at least move Hosmer out of an RBI spot if you're going to leave him in there. He's becoming an embarassment

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Perfect game/no hitter is gone.

[Mizzou_8541]

The AB by Hosmer just ruined my night. #firstworldproblems

Country Breakfast warming it up.

[mr. tegu]

At least Dyson is in so he can't pinch run for Billy.

[Nightfyre]

Yost must make his first tough decision of the day: Does he pinch run for Butler here?! (Sarcasm)

[mr. tegu]

Billy tagging!!! Nice!

[stonedstooge]

Way to hustle Billy

[Shogun]

the real question is. Will GETZ BE HITTING FOR MORE POWER?

[Discuss Thrower]

Yost must make his first tough decision of the day: Does he pinch run for Butler here?! (Sarcasm)

Billy sez HI BITCH

[Shogun]

The answer is yes. He will hit. FOR MORE POWER

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Billy tags and moves up... :clap:

that's what speed do.

[Nightfyre]

I like how the only time Frenchy takes the first pitch is when its a meatball over the middle.

[mr. tegu]

Frenchy is ALWAYS in a 1-2 or 0-2 hole.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

LOL Frenchy

[Shogun]

GETZ GETZ GETZ

[petegz28]

Frenchy swinging at pitches way out of the zone...shocker

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I like how the only time Frenchy takes the first pitch is when its a meatball over the middle.

At least he made up for it by flailing wildly at a pitch in Lee's Summit.

[Shogun]

GETZ SEEMS TO HAVE LOST SOME POWER

[stonedstooge]

GETZ SEEMS TO HAVE LOST SOME POWER

Hope he can field outside of his shadow. That's an improvement over Yuni

[stonedstooge]

Welp, playing from behind again. Matt Hochaver loses the shutout

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

That was a very Royalsesque play by De Aza. Thanks for the gift out.

[Nightfyre]

Dyson showcasing some power1!

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

The crowd looks pretty good. Even the upper deck is full to about 3/4ths of the way up. Imagine if we weren't 11 games under .500.

Of course every time the Sox score they have to give the run/runs right back immediately! /just illustrating the other side of that arguement.

:)

[Nightfyre]

You put that shit away. It is reserved for Royals fans.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

You put that shit away. It is reserved for Royals fans.

I haven't seen Bundy yet and I miss him.

[mr. tegu]

I think we found our #2 hitter of the future!

[Nightfyre]

Myers?

[stonedstooge]

I think we found our #2 hitter of the future!

I still would like to see Alcides in the 1 hole

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Naturally Hochfailar with the lead off walk! Here's goes the big inning! Giving the runs right back! Pull him now Ned! /our side of the arguement

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Just how out can a base stealer be?.... that out.

[shorman22]

Think about are future lineup
Gordon
Esky
Hos
Butler
Myers
Moose
Perez
Gio (hopefully)
Cain

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Pitchout that worked.

[HemiEd]

Perez is my favorite player, period.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Think about are future lineup
Gordon
Esky
Hos
Butler
Myers
Moose
Perez
Gio (hopefully)

I'd be surprised is Gio is around for the future.

[stonedstooge]

I'll still take Escobar. But it's nice to finally have some choices on this team

[Nightfyre]

Think about are future lineup

Esky

Never fear, Perez is here.

True but that could easily be next year lineup

[cabletech94]

Holy crap I get the game on tv tonight. Not usually a good omen.

don't eff this up luke!!!!!!

[stonedstooge]

Gio has done something to turn the Royals off. Not sure we will ever know what it is

[HemiEd]

I have a lot of love for Escobar, no doubt. Perez is just awesome, totally cool.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Gio has done something to turn the Royals off. Not sure we will ever know what it is

Sucking would be my guess. That only flys for Frenchy and Betancourt.

[Shogun]

I'd rather have getz than gio for the future

[stonedstooge]

Sucking would be my guess. That only flys for Frenchy and Betancourt.

I don't think he has been batting or fielding poorly in Omaha. At least that's what I thought I heard them say on the radio a few days ago

[mr. tegu]

Anyone else watching the WGN coverage? I am always interested in hearing the opponent's broadcasters.

[Nightfyre]

I think Yuni is "blocking" him. IOTW, after he is dealt at the deadline, Gio will be back up.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I really think in a couple of years time our second basemen will be someone not currently with the club... unless Colon gets his poop in a group. Sadly Getz is probably the best option we currently have.

[stonedstooge]

Break it open Salvy

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I don't think he has been batting or fielding poorly in Omaha. At least that's what I thought I heard them say on the radio a few days ago

I haven't heard that. It would be encouraging.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Yes. See the first 2 posts of the thread.

[stonedstooge]

Dyson runs up and leaps to make the catch

[Nightfyre]

That curveball was filthy. I mean, that thing bit like a masse shot on a pool table.

DUNN STUNS ONE 3-2 Royals

[tk13]

That ball was destroyed. Holy crap. That was deep.

[stonedstooge]

LEAVE HIM IN TOO LONG NED

[Nightfyre]

Time to hit the pen, Ned.

[tk13]

459 feet. That's probably one of the longest HR's in Kauffman history. I think the record is still 475 by Bo Jackson.

[stonedstooge]

NNNNNNEEEEDDDDDDDDD

[Nightfyre]

Haha. Ned reads CP. Or is super sensitive about leaving his starters in after last night.

[stonedstooge]

I didn't listen to the radio today, but they usually tear him up over his bonehead moves

@Royals_Report

#Royals LH pitching prospect Mike Montgomery has allowed five runs through six innings in first start since demotion to Northwest Arkansas.

[stonedstooge]

Moose's catches look like a good skeet shot

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Moose's catches look like a good skeet shot

I was just going to say... wtf, does he have a rosen bag in there or something lol.

[stonedstooge]

Crow gives up a triple. Tied up at 3's

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I don't see much live Royals action but it seems like every time I do Crow comes in and shits himself.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Hawk Harrelson talking about how the Royals are out drawing the Sox this year lol.

[stonedstooge]

I don't see much live Royals action but it seems like every time I do Crow comes in and shits himself.

Crow seems to be his best when he throws 1 inning every 3 or 4 days

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

That's pretty sad imo. First rounder.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

chopper two hopper... fuck you Hawk

[stonedstooge]

chopper two hopper... **** you Hawk

Was he bitching before they tied it?

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Was he bitching before they tied it?

He's been surprisingly calm tonight and not as annoying as usual. There's a "he gone" though.

[KCUnited]

Add that to the 610 free out montage.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

You really have to try to walk Frenchy. Well done.

[tk13]

Francoeur's tremendous patience earns him another walk.

[Nightfyre]

Too bad they tried to steal Moose.

[stonedstooge]

Let's see the replay Eddie

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

GETZ MUSCLE!

[stonedstooge]

Let's see the replay Eddie
Think he got that one right

[Nightfyre]

Think he got that one right

Agreed.

[Mizzou_8541]

How did francoeur not score there? wtf?

[Nightfyre]

Perez initially thought that was gone.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

How did francoeur not score there? wtf?

He would have been out by a mile.

[stonedstooge]

How did francoeur not score there? wtf?

Throw would have beat him by 4-5 steps.

[Kraus]

How did francoeur not score there? wtf?

I'm watching the gamecast at work - with two outs he should have been running. On a double, he couldn't score from first?

[stonedstooge]

I'd say Frenchy's speed has dropped off just a bit from last year

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm watching the gamecast at work - with two outs he should have been running. On a double, he couldn't score from first?

He may indeed have crapped his pants between 1st and 3rd but once he was there, holding him up was the right call.

[Nightfyre]

I'd say Frenchy's speed has dropped off just a bit from last year

I would venture to guess that Myers speed in right would be worth quite a few runs over the course of a year. And his arm is comparable to Frenchy's.

[KCUnited]

Moose would've scored easily.

[Mizzou_8541]

He would have been out by a mile.

I'm at the game and it looked like he had plenty of time to score, but I'm in the seats in left field so I probably don't have the best perspective.

[Nightfyre]

Watching the replay, he would have been gunned down.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I'm at the game and it looked like he had plenty of time to score, but I'm in the seats in left field so I probably don't have the best perspective.

I just know the Sox did a good job hitting the cutoff and Frenchy was just rounding 3rd as they did. A decent throw would have nailed him. Frenchy is probably just slower than he used to be.

[stonedstooge]

Dunn must have found the roids again

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Gonna go through the whole pen again tonight.

[stonedstooge]

Another extra's tonight and Ned will have to burn another starter

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Another extra's tonight and Ned will have to burn another starter

At least the pen should be pretty fresh coming off the break even being used last night.

[tk13]

Escobar, power hitter.

[stonedstooge]

ESCOBAR says lets win this one bitches. Dinger

[Nightfyre]

Esky doubles his HR total tonight.

[KcMizzou]

Holy shit, Esky!!! Right on!

[chefsos]

I think you've created a monster.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

ALCIDES MOTHERFUCKING ESCOBAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!

[HemiEd]

I'll still take Escobar. But it's nice to finally have some choices on this team

[Ceej]

Someone must have told Esky that dipshit O's fan said he wasn't a top SS.

[KcMizzou]

I'd imagine this is Escobars first muti-homer game....It is. Just said so on the tv broadcast.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

It is. Just said so on the tv broadcast.

I have the wrong tv broadcast naturally... and I'm more than a little disappointed that Hawk didn't put it on the booooaaaaarrrrddd... YESSS!

[SPchief]

So that Escobar guy is pretty good.

Been watching baseball on the backside of 40 years and Escobar and Perez do things I've never seen before

[SPchief]

Billy might set a career high for infield base hits this year.

[KcMizzou]

I can relate to this.

Mick Shaffer ‏@mickshaffer

Jake Peavy reacts to a home run the same way I react every time I walk into my kids' room.

[lewdog]

Been watching baseball on the backside of 40 years and Escobar and Perez do things I've never seen before

Escobar doesn't hit for power though which is all that counts.

/ChiefsandO'sfan

[ZootedGranny]

Ah, the classic "pinch run for Butler, watch a blown save, miss Billy's bat" scenario,

[petegz28]

Did we just pull Billy again?

[KcMizzou]

Did we just pull Billy again?yep

[Nightfyre]

Bourgeois barely in there.

[DeezNutz]

Someone should tell Ned that we play in the AL, so a one run lead isn't necessarily safe, and it would be nice to have our best hitter available.

[KcMizzou]

MOOOOOSE!

[SPchief]

Did we just pull Billy again?

It's the correct decision.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Did we just pull Billy again?

Boozschwa can score on a pop up to the pitcher/Ned

[DeezNutz]

And I don't care if Butter couldn't go first to third there; Ned still made the wrong move.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

It's the correct decision.

and that

[DeezNutz]

It's the correct decision.

No, it's not.

[mr. tegu]

I don't mind pulling him with the lead. Billy doesn't go first to third there.

[DeezNutz]

and that

And this is wrong, too.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

And I don't care if Butter couldn't go first to third there; Ned still made the wrong move.

How? You realize Broxton is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th right?

[KcMizzou]

There ya go Frenchy.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

We aren't likley up 2 right now with Billy on the bases.

[SPchief]

How? You realize Broxton is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th right?

That's the wrong argument for that though.

[mr. tegu]

And I don't care if Butter couldn't go first to third there; Ned still made the wrong move.

I don't think that was on purpose but I like it either way LMAO

[Nightfyre]

The Peaves done after 120. Damn.

[DeezNutz]

How? You realize Broxton is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th right?

Correct. Which is why having our best bat still available is important.

Again, this is the American League, and thus Ned made the wrong decision. Outcomes do not justify mistakes.

[Ceej]

Frenchy is hot. Trade him now.

Broxton with a 1, 2, 3 inning. Trade him tonight.

Call up Myers.

Fuck bitches.

Get money

MIND BLOWN!

[petegz28]

How? You realize Broxton is going to pitch the bottom of the 9th right?

Which is why you don't pull Billay

[SPchief]

No, it's not.

Disagree. With billy still in the game here, we don't have a 2 run lead.

[Nightfyre]

Pinch hit LoCain for Getz, imo.

[DeezNutz]

I don't think that was on purpose but I like it either way LMAO

Of course that was on porpoise.

[DeezNutz]

Disagree. With billy still in the game here, we don't have a 2 run lead.

We have the bases loaded with no outs, and I'm good with that with Broxton's worthless ass on deck.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Correct. Which is why having our best bat still available is important.

Again, this is the American League, and thus Ned made the wrong decision. Outcomes do not justify mistakes.

Well if we get an insurance run... which we did likely because of Boozschwa being able to go first to third on the single... which Billy wouldn't likely do... we have more room for error no matter who the closer is. That's how you play to win in 9 innings. Don't fucking play for extras just to keep a bat in the line up "in case" it happens.

[Nightfyre]

Oh, so we can sacrifice Getz but not Yuni?

[Ceej]

Getz >> Yuniesky.

All day errrday.

[mr. tegu]

That is why I like Getz over Yuni. Yesterday Yuni's poor bunting ability resulted in a lost opportunity for a sacrifice. Getz got it down perfectly.

[SPchief]

Nice Salvy gets the IBB

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Which is why you don't pull Billay

Unless I'm trying to win in 9 which I am.

[Nightfyre]

Locain for dyson?

[SPchief]

Yost says screw your walk, I've got Cain.

[mr. tegu]

Cain for Dyson!

[Ceej]

Sac fly will do.

[Nightfyre]

LoCain wants to know if the ball gets to the moon and doesn't come back if its a HR.

[stonedstooge]

A double would be sweet here

[SPchief]

Cain!

[KcMizzou]

:clap:

[mr. tegu]

Man he crushed that. Bad hitting luck but deep enough for the run.

[Nightfyre]

A single would be nice here.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Nice work KC.

[KcMizzou]

C'mon Gordo.

[Ceej]

An actual smart substitution.

Atta baby Cain.

[SPchief]

WOW

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Damn.... nice catch. 3 should be enough...................

[mr. tegu]

Wow what a catch. It is nice to see Gordon raising that average and justifying the contract he was given. Ever since he was put back into the leadoff spot anyways.

[stonedstooge]

An actual smart substitution.

Atta baby Cain.

Probably the 1st one of the year

[DeezNutz]

Well if we get an insurance run... which we did likely because of Boozschwa being able to go first to third on the single... which Billy wouldn't likely do... we have more room for error no matter who the closer is. That's how you play to win in 9 innings. Don't ****ing play for extras just to keep a bat in the line up "in case" it happens.

I believe we still had the lead, so not pulling Butter isn't exactly playing for extras. It's life in the AL with a shitty pitching staff.

Alright guys over under baserunners is 1.5 so what are you taking?

[SPchief]

I'm taking the under tonight.

[DeezNutz]

Eiland has to be fired after the season, right? Not saying he's the cause, but how many pitching coaches have been scapegoated by this organization over the last ten years, and he'd get a pass presiding over this sack of shit?

[DeezNutz]

Over.

[mr. tegu]

He has a three run lead. Do not fiddle around with the strike zone. Just keep it low and don't try to be too fancy.

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

I believe we still had the lead, so not pulling Butter isn't exactly playing for extras. It's life in the AL with a shitty pitching staff.

We'll have to agree to disagree. You always want insurance with a 1 run lead and Boozschwa gave us a better chance to score that than Billy.
