Royals hitting is horse shit.

[Demonpenz]

Horse shit...complete horse shit.

[cdcox]

Good news is we can afford to buy lots of it.

Horse shit.

Horse shit.

No, no, no - "complete horse shit"

[Demonpenz]

Complete Horse Shit.

[GoHuge]

Thanks for the breaking news! Wouldn't have known they've scored 3 runs or less in over 20 games without a thread on CP about it. Now I can go back to sleep.

LMAO GoHuge is the password to get in at missy b's

[Pitt Gorilla]

Agreed. It's maddening how good our pitching is when our hitting is so bad.

Lolololol

A MLB team will lose a LOT of games - even the good teams - they're 3 back correct?

That's not that behind, at all.

[Bowser]

True, but it's frustrating watching this team blow close games for our complete inability to hit in the clutch.

The Royals really ought to be in first by four or five games if they could just manage to scrape together a few hits occasionally.

[Bump]

we were witnessing a miracle season

and

it's gone

[penbrook]

“We had a situation (in the second inning) where we had the bases loaded with no outs,” Santana said, “but we couldn’t score any runs. In the end...you know how it is."

[Deberg_1990]

I think I would enjoy watching a horse shit rather than watch the Royals lineup scrape together a few slap hits.

[Titty Meat]

Spoiler alert: the royals have sucked for almost 30 years.

[beer bacon]

It's crap. Pure, unadulterated crap.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Could be worse, you could have the my White Sox lineup.

[suzzer99]

I had the Royals game all recorded to watch, but then saw this thread title, and thought better of it. I ended up watching the game in about 30 seconds on FF. I highly recommend it.

[siberian khatru]

Which reminds me, Ned busted out this quote tonight:

"Give them time to develop. But I understand it. I know what the fans want. They want it, and they want it now. Instant gratification just doesn’t work (in baseball).”

Be patient, Royals fans. Success is just over the hill. Promise.

[CoMoChief]

The Royals patiently come to play.

[Simply Red]

so I guess all of you hate Ned Yost?

[CoMoChief]

so I guess all of you hate Ned Yost?

he "should" have been canned after that 12 game losing streak last season to start out or however many it was..

[cabletech94]

BRING BACK KELVIN SELTZER AS HITTERZ COUCH!!!!!

[Simply Red]

I hate to hear that about Ned - I was really pulling for him for you all. I can honestly say though, they don't make better people than Ned Yost - He's extremely solid people.

[Dayze]

.......shocked.

oh joy,guess who else is "over the hill"

[TLO]

This thread delivers. Unlike the Royals offense.

[kcxiv]

Mines worse 200 million pay roll 29th in runs scored lol

[MotherfuckerJones]

Mines worse 200 million pay roll 29th in runs scored lol

LOL. Ya that is pretty bad sorry. We have 2 players that have me excited and the only reasons I pay attention. Chris Sale and Dayan Viciedo. Sale is absolutely excellent. Viciedo is a good young hitter with crazy power. He hit a ball into the 3rd deck in Minnesota. It was impressive.

[chefsos]

Hey, is this the thread where we all bitch about our ballclubs?

[farmerchief]

Just think what the scores would be, IF, we didn't have good quality pitching! What a waste of some key acquisitions, by not getting them some run support, WOW!

[stonedstooge]

It'll just make it sweeter when the bats do come to life

[Rasputin]

Total horse shit is horse shit


The one run the Royals got last night was off a blooper fly ball that the A's fucked themselves with.


What should have been an easy out for the A's turned into our one run.


Horse shit is horse shit.

[Demonpenz]

good call

[Rasputin]

It'll just make it sweeter when the bats do come to life



Only to have our pitching go to horse shit and give up a ton more runs.


What we are watching now is Marty Ball


Next the Dick Vermeil Era


Followed by :doh!:

[Nightfyre]

"Give them time to develop. But I understand it. I know what the fans want. They want it, and they want it now. Instant gratification just doesn’t work (in baseball).”


Dumbass fans. Don't you know it takes over 20 years to develop a competitive team?

[Chief Roundup]

Royals and horse shit. Yeah that sounds about right.

What a gay ass pic of Bray.

Quote in this morning's KC Star from Sam Mellinger: "The Royals have spent the last 27 years teaching a new generation of fans that the better times are yesterday or tomorrow but never today."

Yep.

[crossbow]

How long did it take Gordo to figure out major league hitting? This game is hard. The kids are hitting the ball hard but at people. They will figure it out but I just hope the team isn't buried by then.

[petegz28]

2 runs total in 2 games against 2 shitty pitchers when our 2 best pitchers give up 2 runs each and we play today to stay 2 games over .500.

[petegz28]

And one must add, cut Frenchy now! I don't care what DM got suckered into paying him. This guy is beyond terribad.

[petegz28]

Gordon is doing fine. So is Perez, butler, esky, and Cain. It's hos, moose, French, Johnson an Getz stinking it up.

[Nightfyre]

You know, I hate the squandered starts, but when I look at it, we are 6-9 in May with four games against the Astros ahead of us. I said I would be happy if we went .500 in May. It's still possible.

We were 7 games over .500 and today we probably hit the scratch .500 mark. Them Houston will expose us for how bad we really are

[gblowfish]

Royals fired hitting coach Kevin Seitzer after last season and hired two guys to replace him. Big Head Ned said he wanted more homers this year. How is that going? Let's look at the three big bats: 1B Hosmer, 3B Moose, RF Fancouer: Hosmer so far: After 131 ABs: 244 average, 1 HR, 4 doubles. Moose: 4 HRs, is 1 for his last 28 and hitting below .200. Francouer: 1 HR, 4 for his last .36 ABs. Who has as many homers as Hosmer and Francouer? Getz, Johnson, Dyson, Cain, Perez and Kottaras. What does this mean? It means we're losing because we're scoring around 3 runs per game. Royals are 1-5 when ace pitcher James Shields gives up 2 or fewer runs. Royals were supposed to be built on speed and defense. The Royals are third worst in the AL in errors. This team's lack of slugging is mind boggling. The only guys who seem capable of hitting a ball out of the yard is Gordon and Butler. Everybody else has been punchless. You can't have two homers from your catchers, one from your right fielder, one from your center fielder and one from your first baseman with one quarter of the season gone. That's just unacceptable.

Teams reflect their coach. Is Ned the best manager we have had in eons? Yes. That says more about DM than anything. The best he could do was a Japanese League coach and a coach a team fired in the middle of a playoff run.

Damn straight.
40 year old Carlos Beltran has 10 homers already.

[petegz28]

Fucking coco crisp has 5

Ned should shower in his uniform. That'll be a tonic for the troops.

[TambaBerry]

So whats wrong with our hitting? I don't know very much about baseball but most of our guys are top of the 1st round picks right? Shouldn't they be better then they are?

[petegz28]

Damn, just heard that on this current road trip, moose and hos are a combined 3-40

cool bro what are you on?

Moose should have been sent down weeks ago.

[Mr. Laz]

how many bats do we have in the lineup under .250?

[DTHOF]

oh joy,guess who else is "over the hill"

And why did they trade arguably the best player in the minors last year for a couple of pitchers (one good, one mediocre)......oh, so "we can develop". Makes sense to me I guess kinda

Dude myer is sucking right now. Tampa fans are pissed at that trade

[crossbow]

Who fired the scout that found Beltron, Dye, and Damon? Those guys weren't too bad.

i dunno but Hosmer and Moose aren't looking too good right now.


fine fielders but can't hit a lick

Escobar gets a pass.

1. his defense wins games
2. I expect him to hit between 250-300
3. He is in a slump
4. He needs a game off, not a day off but a game off

The rest of them suck ass save Kottaras who has very limited AB's and playing time.

[petegz28]

Here is another gem for you....

Since April, it's May 19th as I type this, Hosmer has hit 3, yes 3 balls to RF and those have all been hard hit ground balls.

[MotherfuckerJones]

What a gay ass pic of Bray.

Haters gona hate

[teedubya]

It's time for new Royals slogans.

Royals Baseball!
We'll tease you until mid-may!

Royals Baseball!
Almost Complete Horse Shit.

Royals Baseball!
At least our pitching is good!

[petegz28]

So whats wrong with our hitting? I don't know very much about baseball but most of our guys are top of the 1st round picks right? Shouldn't they be better then they are?

Poor plate discipline for the most part.

Good example:

Last night we had bases loaded with 0 outs. Elliot Johnson was at bat. The 2 hitters in front of Johnson were walked. So what does Johnson do? Swings at the first fucking pitch and pops out to the 1st baseman.


That's on the hitter and the coaches. The hitter should know to take a pitch or two in that situation and the coaches should make sure he does.

If the 2 guys in front of you just walked, WTF would you bail out a pitcher by swinging at the 1st fucking pitch?

[Mr. Laz]

hosmer,frenchy and Moose strike outs :shake:

[NWTF]

We were 7 games over .500 and today we probably hit the scratch .500 mark. Them Houston will expose us for how bad we really are



looking toward the Houston series, the Royals and many fans are thinking
" Well we'll sweep the Stros, they are horrible" "thats three wins right there" " we will for sure go over .500 on this road trip"

Meanwhile down in Houston they are looking at the upcoming schedule and saying
" Wow, what a horrible team this Astros team is. ..wellllllll......... we do have three games coming up against the KC Royals, If we can just put together a few runs in those we can take that series"

[Prison Bitch]

Watch the games on DVR. Trust me you won't regret it. I used to speed through all the ads and pitching changes, but now I just FF through our at-bats too. Especially the bottom of the order.
