Kansas City Royals @ Boston Red Sox Double-Header Game Thread (4/21)

[Crush]

GORDON!!!!

[Dartgod]

Welcome to the big leagues, kid.

[Nightfyre]

Trout swipes second.

[lewdog]

The two video feeds are different, and the FSKC one is definitely Royals-centric, but it gives us the Boston audio on both feeds. Very annoying. Let me know if it gets fixed at any point, because I don't want to watch the other city's feed.

I hear HUD now. ugghhhhhhhhhhh

[Old Dog]

Damnit.....thought it was gone

[alnorth]

Top 1st

Gordon doubles to left
Escobar hits an infield single to shortstop, Escobar to second, Gordon scores on an Error by SS
Butler strikes out (swinging)
Hosmer strikes out (swinging)
Cain grounds out to second

1 run, 2 hits, 1 error

Bottom 1st

Ellsbury walks
Ellsbury to second on a Wild Pitch
Nava lines into a 3-6 double play, Ellsbury out at second
Pedroia grounds out to second

0 runs, 0 hits

[Toadkiller]

Get some Gordo!

[Canofbier]

Never mind - just switched over to the Royals feed and I'm getting the Royals audio now. The picture is terrible, though.

[Nightfyre]

Royals broadcasters are back on mlb.tv

[Crush]

YES

[Pablo]

Holy fuck. That was a hilarious attempt.

[stonedstooge]

Nice throw short.

[lewdog]

Lol, ah hellz yea!

[Old Dog]

airmailed that into the stands :)

1-0 good guys

[Discuss Thrower]

Yessssssssssss

[Discuss Thrower]

Wake up that bat Billy

[lewdog]

Never mind - just switched over to the Royals feed and I'm getting the Royals audio now. The picture is terrible, though.

Picture looks good here. Try refreshing by hitting the live DVR function.

[Old Dog]

so much that defensive infield having no errors

[Canofbier]

lolol

[Old Dog]

c'mon Billy....rattle this kids cage

[Dartgod]

so much that defensive infield having no errors

I knew they were jinxed when Hud mentioned it pre-game.

[58kcfan89]

Makes you want to put a drill bit through your brain

I get why people hate Hud, but I love the dude. Especially during a win, he's pretty fun to listen to. Definitely doesn't take himself too seriously.

Physioc, on the other hand... Can't stand listening to him. He wouldn't shut up about the freaking fans & the Marathon earlier today. I understand it's a big story, but part of the reason I'm watching the game is to get away from all that.

Good start tonight from Gordo & Esky. Let's keep it going.

[RedDread]

God dommot Billy

[Pablo]

That 97mph breaking ball, huh?

[Dartgod]

Damn, Billay.

[Canofbier]

Picture looks good here. Try refreshing by hitting the live DVR function.

Yeah, looks a little better now. I was feeling a little paranoid since my feed's video cut out completely for the last 5 minutes or so of the first game.

[Old Dog]

gotta plate at least another this inning

[Pablo]

Hos is gonna get worked by a rookie.

[RedDread]

FUCK YOU HOS

[lewdog]

Hos is gonna get worked by a rookie.

You didn't even need a crystal ball to guess that one.

[Crush]

FUCK YOU HOSMER

[Codered]

Wow shocking Hosmer strikes out.

[RedDread]

Let's go Lo, bail these douches out.

[Old Dog]

nice play by Pedroia

[Captain Obvious]

Eric Clutchmer, ladies and gentlemen.

[Codered]

The fact that Hosmer is batting cleanup is a joke right now.

[siberian khatru]

That kind of fizzled out

[Nightfyre]

Cain may have been safe there. Took a minute for the 1B to really catch that ball.

[Demonpenz]

looked like 1B bobbled that ball at first.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

There should be double headers just about every weekend.

[58kcfan89]

Any reason (other than "Ned's an idiot") why Cain hasn't been our #4 hitter recently?

Think I would have rather seen Butler at 1B, Salvy at DH & Hosmer on the bench for this one. Him & Moose need to get their heads on straight.

[Reaper16]

The Royals are going to kill this guy's fastball on the 2nd time through the order.

[MIAdragon]

Belch, lets hope our bats come out and play in part deux.

[GloryDayz]

looked like 1B bobbled that ball at first.

I thought the same...

[Deberg_1990]

Mike MousBustous and Eric Bustmer

[Nightfyre]

1b ump was probably the home plate ump last game.

[CaliforniaChief]

Can you imagine how good this team would be if Hosmer and Moose were hitting?

[RedDread]

Ump's had a conference before today.

[GloryDayz]

GDI!

[CaliforniaChief]

Leadoff walks. We always give them up, and rarely get them.

[Canofbier]

Ugh...they switch the audio on the KC feed back to Boston's. How annoying.

[RedDread]

Just because they're in the strike zone doesn't mean they're going to be called strikes.

Fuck home cooking umps.

[BigMeatballDave]

Can you imagine how good this team would be if Hosmer and Moose were hitting?

And Billy. He's ice cold as well.

[Canofbier]

The fuck? Why didn't Getz or Escobar even try to cover 2nd?

[RedDread]

And we're already seeing the effects of Salvy not being behind the plate.

[GloryDayz]

It really is difficult..

[Old Dog]

Is there some rule I'm not familiar with that states if the Royals score that they have to immediately give at least one back?

[petegz28]

I missed the first batter..we getting squeezed already?

[stonedstooge]

HAHA. Double play

[Old Dog]

DP!!!! Sweet

[RedDread]

Noice!

[petegz28]

nice....poetic justice perhaps?

[GloryDayz]

Well that WAS some good fortune... Nice!

[TLO]

That's how you draw up the double play right there.

[Demonpenz]

I missed the first batter..we getting squeezed already?

I thought the zone was ok. Hudler is on crack as ususal.

[Old Dog]

I missed the first batter..we getting squeezed already?

No, not really

[CaliforniaChief]

Alright. Now let's go J-Guts.

[Pilsner]

Hud talking about Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches as a restorative agent. The guy is nuts.

[dlphg9]

Huddy is a moran

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Give salvy a pbj and get him in there!

[Pablo]

Hud talking about Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches as a restorative agent. The guy is nuts.Just give the kid some apple jacks and an OJ and let him go!

[TLO]

Duh-Hud

[CaliforniaChief]

Let's put some runs on the board, boys. I'd love a really easy, boring win. It's been awhile.

[siberian khatru]

Huddy is a moran

He's probably coming off his 4/20 high

[GloryDayz]

Moose and Frenchy coming up.. What could go wrong? Woot!!!!!!

[TLO]

Huddy is a moran

Holy balls. Why is your rep so red at only 49 posts?

[alnorth]

Top 2nd

Moustakas grounds out to second
Francoeur pops out to second
Kottaras grounds out to second

0 runs, 0 hits

Bottom 2nd

Napoli homers to left
Saltalamacchia walks
Middlebrooks pops out to shortstop
Carp doubles to left, Saltalamacchia scores
Ross strikes out (swinging)
Ciriaco grounds out to pitcher unassisted

2 runs, 2 hits

[KCUnited]

At least HUD has evolved peanut butter into the jam sammich.

[Demonpenz]

Rub some Rice Crispy treats on hosmers taint and get him in right field

[TLO]

I've got your 6

[dlphg9]

Has Ned gave a reason as to why hos is the clean up batter

[stonedstooge]

Get pissed Moose. You play better that way

[Nightfyre]

Holy balls. Why is your rep so red at only 49 posts?

Probably shouldn't have mentioned that they thought the terrorists were hot.

[KCUnited]

Bust tacos

[lewdog]

Well fuck, back to Boston broadcast on MLBtv. The bombing is over and this is a baseball broadcast, STFU already!

[TLO]

Ground out by Mike. Way to go chucklefuck.

[58kcfan89]

Christ, Moose.

I know they say he's a slow starter, but this is ridiculous.

[CaliforniaChief]

Why the hell isn't Dyson in the lineup?

[AndChiefs]

Man Boston accents are so freaking annoying.

[GloryDayz]

We have a nasty tendency to not try to break the pitcher's rhythm... These guys need to step out of the box a little more often IMO..

[Old Dog]

Ground out by Mike. Way to go chucklefuck.

Hell, the way he's going even with no one on, I figured he would find a way to hit into a DP

[dlphg9]

I started the geno was signed by kc thread. Pissed people off I assumr

[Nightfyre]

Hud would be better than listening to this goddamned Boston radio feed. Fucking wetawds.

[Demonpenz]

We have a nasty tendency to not try to break the pitcher's rhythm... These guys need to step out of the box a little more often IMO..

the first good point ever brought up on the planet.

[lewdog]

Hud would be better than listening to this goddamned Boston radio feed. Fucking wetawds.

Yea, these guys are bad. Give me back Hud!

[CaliforniaChief]

Maybe Ned should piss off Moose if he plays better that way. Maybe he can have the bat boy run up a tee to the plate before Moose hits. Something?

[GloryDayz]

the first good point ever brought up on the planet.

Do i need to stay home tomorrow and wait for my leg lamp - it's a major award?

[candyman]

Did Perez get hurt in the first game or something?

[KCUnited]

Boy George Guitarist

[Canofbier]

Did Perez get hurt in the first game or something?

No, but you don't typically ask a dude to catch two games in one day.

[lewdog]

Did Perez get hurt in the first game or something?

Um no, he is a catcher. Try squatting 8 hours in a day.

[GloryDayz]

Great attitude by the catcher IMO... Very difficult for a good catcher to ride...

[GloryDayz]

Well that went a long way...

[Old Dog]

damn....Guthrie set it on that tee that Californiachief suggested

[Canofbier]

Wheeeeeeee

[stonedstooge]

Wasn't a low breaking ball Hud

[Archie F. Swin]

Napoli scares the shiz outta me

[candyman]

Um no, he is a catcher. Try squatting 8 hours in a day.

I admittedly don't know shit about baseball, but thanks

[lewdog]

I don't want to tell you guys this, but I played MLB the show '13 between games and Guthrie got pounded for 5 runs in 5 innings.

[stonedstooge]

I don't want to tell you guys this, but I played MLB the show '13 between games and Guthrie got pounded for 5 runs in 5 innings.

JINX!!!!

[TLO]

STFU HUD!!!!

[petegz28]

Guthrie not having a good game thus far

[Demonpenz]

no wonder Lewdog is losing his girlfriend to hosmer. He is too busy trying to get his total bases up in MLB 13

[Archie F. Swin]

Damn Guts!

[Demonpenz]

Kotterous doesn't frame as well as salvy.

[dlphg9]

Who will be the royals all star this year?

[GloryDayz]

Um no, he is a catcher. Try squatting 8 hours in a day.

Great point. Ive seen other coaches let 12-year-old catch three 7-inning games in one day and not think anything of it... Often times you can tell many of the coaches who never really played catcher...

[lewdog]

no wonder Lewdog is losing his girlfriend to hosmer. He is too busy trying to get his total bases up in MLB 13

ROFL

Well played.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Who will be the royals all star this year?

Gordon, a pitcher, and country breakfast

[Canofbier]

lol, they changed the feed back to KC mid-sentence.

[Archie F. Swin]

Who will be the royals all star this year?

Salvy

[TLO]

Who will be the royals all star this year?

LoCain.

[Ceej]

Maybe I should go back to work.

[TLO]

Come on Guthrie.

[lewdog]

Maybe I should go back to work.

Well bye!

[Ceej]

Well bye!

:(

[lewdog]

:(

I'm just kidding. You can stay.

Here have a seat....on my lap.

[Archie F. Swin]

Det & Angels tied 3 all in the 11th

[Nightfyre]

I think we'll see the bats heat up this inning or the next. Everyone was making contact on this kid and that doesn't bode well for him. Minor adjustments should allow the Royals hitters to have a field day on him.

[petegz28]

seems if we knew how to make contact it would be tied instead of us losing....just sayin

[Old Dog]

Det & Angels tied 3 all in the 11th

hope it goes about 22 innings and Detroit blows the arm of every pitcher in the pen

[Archie F. Swin]

Id rather Hos,Mous & Billay be cold in April than August

[Nightfyre]

hope it goes about 22 innings and Detroit blows the arm of every pitcher in the pen

I like how you are thinking. Them losing would also be a nice secondary benefit.

[stonedstooge]

I think we'll see the bats heat up this inning or the next. Everyone was making contact on this kid and that doesn't bode well for him. Minor adjustments should allow the Royals hitters to have a field day on him.

What's an adjustment?/Frenchy, Moose, Hosmer, Belly

[Nightfyre]

What's an adjustment?/Frenchy, Moose, Hosmer, Belly

Well played, sir. Well played.

[alnorth]

[TLO]

Gordon with good contact... but right to first. I think next inning we can make some noise.

[GloryDayz]

hope it goes about 22 innings and Detroit blows the arm of every pitcher in the pen

:thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb::thumb:

[Old Dog]

C'mon Belly, damnit

[stonedstooge]

Load up Billy

[lewdog]

That kid looks scared!

He is realizing he chose the wrong team for his entire life.

His face looks similar to mine.

[teedubya]

Billy! Billy! Bil... nm

[GloryDayz]

LOL Billy.... Don't be sad, be glad.....

[KCUnited]

Bats will come alive next inning. /1st round QB

[KChiefs1]

Country Breakfast is in a bad slump.

[TLO]

Great job Billay. Gawd our hitters are cold/or just plain suck.

[Archie F. Swin]

We're gonna give this kid confidence

[GloryDayz]

He is realizing he chose the wrong team for his entire life.

His face looks similar to mine.

You're home, what are you scared of?

[mr. tegu]

This guy is throwing some pretty straight stuff. We should be crushing him. Unfortunately Moose and Hos gave whatever they have to Billy.

[lewdog]

You're home, what are you scared of?

Same as him...never seeing a winning Royals team.

[Canofbier]

Guthrie is getting fucking shelled tonight, and we're looking turrable offensively against a dude pitching his first fucking major league game. :(

[Deberg_1990]

I hate the Green Monster

[GloryDayz]

Ball girl is fat and slow!

[Ceej]

I'm just kidding. You can stay.

Here have a seat....on my lap.

I just got goose bumps on my shaft.

[Nightfyre]

Guthrie serving up some easy runs for boston.

[RedDread]

Nice!

[lewdog]

Well that helps.

[TLO]

Ball girl too fat/ Omaha

[stonedstooge]

Stealing signs

[lewdog]

It is 3-1 and I feel defeated already. How sad.

[TLO]

At this rate we're going to see Hoch tonight.

[Old Dog]

Napoli CRUSHED that one

[alnorth]

Looks like Kottaras saved a run.

[GloryDayz]

I hate the Green Monster

For as "Iconic" as it is, it's pretty stupid! Get a real park! Since outfield walls aren't covered by any particular distance/height rule, it makes you wonder how some team of the future might try to make their walls adjustable based on their team's strong and weak points.

Wow, their team seems to know what to do with a bat....

[KChiefs1]

Guthrie looks awful.

[Ceej]

I wish the Royals could hit balls that far when they're pitched right down the middle.

[Pablo]

Goddamn, good play Johnson.

[Old Dog]

got lucky on the baserunning error

[Discuss Thrower]

Pickle!!

[Nightfyre]

Guthrie forgot that this wasn't post-game batting practice there for a minute.

[Captain Obvious]

Glad we used Chen in the first game........

[MeatRock]

Guthrie getting crushed.

[lewdog]

Glad we used Chen in the first game........

Hoch tonight, baby!

[MeatRock]

No command for Guthrie tonight.

[TLO]

HARD TO SNEAK A PIECE OF CHEESE PAST A HUNGRY RAT, AND A HOT ONE AT THAT. :facepalm:STFU

[Pablo]

FUCK. Moose is gonna ruin this.

[alnorth]

HARD TO SNEAK A PIECE OF CHEESE PAST A HUNGRY RAT, AND A HOT ONE AT THAT. :facepalm: :stfu:

*blissfully listening to the radio*

*hardly remembers that Hud exists*

[lewdog]

Bean next batter for Sox....

[Old Dog]

Good move by Boston.....hit Cain with pink taco on deck to set up the DP

[Pilsner]

Do something with it, moose. This kid is a noob.

[Pilsner]

:facepalm:

[alnorth]

BULLSHIT

[stonedstooge]

NED. GET OUT THERE AND SUPPORT YOUR PLAYER

[TLO]

Was safe by a mile.

[Discuss Thrower]

Wtf was that ump looking at

[Canofbier]

He was safe by a fucking mile. GFY umps.

[KCUnited]

Next time through the line up and we got this.

[TLO]

That's not Jen's best look... but would still the whole thing sideways.

[dlphg9]

I fucking hate that pussy Neddie

[Ceej]

Poor umpiring the entire series?

[MeatRock]

Bad call. Umps continually adding their support to Boston.

[lewdog]

Next time through the line up and we got this.

And if not next time, then the time after that!

[Nightfyre]

Ned should be out there fucking with these umps day. He's letting his team get run over by this crew.

[stonedstooge]

Damn Ned, team's been playing flat with no fire and you let that opportunity pass to go out and support your players? JFC

[dlphg9]

And fuck brain games.

[TLO]

No, no, no. Boston needs to win! For the glory of the city or something ghey like that.

[petegz28]

The Umps have been in the tank for Boston the entire series.

[Crush]

Hey guys, Ned needs to get his nap in.

[TLO]

We sure get grumpy when the Royals are losing. We need Getz to hit for MOAR POWER to brighten this place up.

[Ceej]

Hey guys, Ned needs to get his nap in.

Well, to be fair - naps fucking rule.

[Pilsner]

FUCK. FUCK. FUCK.

[Ceej]

Little league baseball..

[Discuss Thrower]

Wtf

[TLO]

OMFG..... PATHETIC!!!

[Crush]

FUCK

[kcjayhawks5]

JFC. That's Cain's ball all day long

[TLO]

JFC...

[Nightfyre]

Jesus Gordon. GTFO.

[dlphg9]

God damn kill each other out there.

[stonedstooge]

Well coached team

[lewdog]

That is so Cain's ball even if Gordon is a gold glove. Fuck.

[MeatRock]

Lucky JFC

[Dartgod]

Dodged a bullet there.

[Crush]

whew

[Deberg_1990]

Man, screw these chumps

[dlphg9]

Ned Yost is worthless

[TLO]

At least it didn't end up in a run. Those two need to communicate.

[Crush]

Time to light up the rook and give these umps the finger.

[Pilsner]

That's twice today, Gordo. WTF are you doing?

Why is every white player on our team a fucking piece of shit?

[kcjayhawks5]

I don't understand how Gordon would possibly think that's his lol. It's a routine fucking fly ball

[Demonpenz]

@demonpenz I really love how Cain and Gordon are PISSED after letting a ball drop. Nothing frustrating than watching AWSHUCKS GOLLIE GEE after Dejesus-Francour-Mark Quinn kicked balls around out there.

[Nightfyre]

Angels win in the bottom of the thirteenth.

[MeatRock]

Moose saved that run

[alnorth]

[Crush]

Come on Frenchy.

[TLO]

Frenchy with a good AB. But he's probably gonna strike out.

[Archie F. Swin]

I about broke my fucking hand with that outfield miscue

[Toadkiller]

If your going to be surprised when Frenchy strikes out here go ahead and hit yourself in the nuts.

[AndChiefs]

Well it could be worse than Hud. We could have that Boston color guy.

[TLO]

SWING and a miss.

[stonedstooge]

Way to cut back on your swing there Frenchy, fucking tard

[MeatRock]

Making the kid look like a future Cy Young winner.

[petegz28]

Way to cut back on your swing there Frenchy, ****ing tard

Dude is a fucking joke

[alnorth]

If your going to be surprised when Frenchy strikes out here go ahead and hit yourself in the nuts.

He made his throw 7 or 8 pitches. I consider that to be a win.

[Dartgod]

Frenchy makes every pitcher look like a future Cy Young winner.

FYP

[Crush]

GEORGE KOTTARAS!!!!

[GloryDayz]

Woot....

[TLO]

MOAR POWER!!!!!!!!!

[Discuss Thrower]

I love solo jacks

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Home run Kottaras

[kcjayhawks5]

Fuck yeah!!! And fuck you frenchy u little bitch

[RedDread]

Kottaras, now more HR's than Gordo, Moose and Hos.

[Toadkiller]

Fuck yeah!

[Dartgod]

Hell yeah!!

[Pilsner]

KOTTARAS
