[BlackHelicopters]

Running out of energy.
Good luck!

[BlackHelicopters]

Go Royals! Chen on the hill

[stonedstooge]

ORIOLES HELD SCORELESS IN THE FIRST!

[BlackHelicopters]

Lotta pitches, but no damage for Chen in first.

[BlackHelicopters]

ORIOLES HELD SCORELESS IN THE FIRST!

Almost didn't have the energy to start the thread............

[WhawhaWhat]

K-Rod just got traded to the O's

[stonedstooge]

K-Rod just got traded to the O's

Not true until ChiefsandO's fan finds it on twitter

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Hammel sucks you should score runs tonight.

[BlackHelicopters]

Gordon is unstoppable

[KCUnited]

Ryan vs. Hud, must be July.

[petegz28]

tonight was the perfect time to bat Lough 2nd and Hos 3rd but Yost is a fucking moron

[BlackHelicopters]

Hud needs an ice pick through his left eye

[TambaBerry]

I like Cain hitting third.

[BlackHelicopters]

Ducks out there

[stonedstooge]

LET'S SCORE A FEW PLEASE

[BlackHelicopters]

How many do we score?

[Dartgod]

How many ways can we fuck this up?

[stonedstooge]

****ING BELLY

[petegz28]

With bases loaded, 0 outs...Billy "Fat Ass" Butler swings at the first mother fucking pitch and grounds into at DP!!!!!

JFC!

[siberian khatru]

JFC, this team is patheti-larious.

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Billy. What a waste.

[TambaBerry]

Billy blows

[Dartgod]

With bases loaded, 0 outs...Billy "Fat Ass" Butler swings at the first mother ****ing pitch and grounds into at DP!!!!!

JFC!

I've had it with the fat fuck.

[petegz28]

Billy and Moose just killed that shit in the face....both of them suck ass

[siberian khatru]

And another Moose fail with RISP.

[WhawhaWhat]

belt high slider and Moose is frozen.

[BlackHelicopters]

Worthless. Bad baseball.

[Dartgod]

Bases loaded, no outs and we get one. fucking. run.




:shake:

[siberian khatru]

DAYTON: WE'RE GOING FOR IT

[Bambi]

Moose might be the worst player in uniform tonight.

Not just in this game.... in the entire league.

[BlackHelicopters]

Bases loaded, nobody out. One run. Fuck GMDM.

[Bambi]

Billy blows

Been saying it for years now. This clown is worthless.

[Pepe Silvia]

And another Moose fail with RISP.

I read somewhere on the board that hes 0-60 in RISP? Are you guys exaggerating? That can't be accurate?

[BlackHelicopters]

Moose might be the worst player in uniform tonight.

Not just in this game.... in the entire league.

Francouer in the majors yet? It would be close.

[petegz28]

I've had it with the fat ****.

Dude has 1 fucking job...hit the god damn ball.....that's it! He can't even do that for shit. Oh, yea, sure, he gets the occasional RBI or double or walks.....7 out of 10 AB's his ass is swinging at bad pitches and\or pulling the fucking ball on the ground to SS or 3rd for an automatic out if not 2 outs.

Fucking Machado possibly could have turned a triple play right there.

[TambaBerry]

It's amazing someone as bad as moose can stay in the majors.

[siberian khatru]

I read somewhere on the board that hes 0-60 in RISP? Are you guys exaggerating? That can't be accurate?

It's about 4-for-68 or so now.

[siberian khatru]

It's about 4-for-68 or so now.

Just checked: 4-for-69.

[BlackHelicopters]

Major league team sucks, talent pipeline is weak. 28 years.

[Dartgod]

Dude has 1 ****ing job...hit the god damn ball.....that's it! He can't even do that for shit. Oh, yea, sure, he gets the occasional RBI or double or walks.....7 out of 10 AB's his ass is swinging at bad pitches and\or pulling the ****ing ball on the ground to SS or 3rd for an automatic out if not 2 outs.

****ing Machado possibly could have turned a triple play right there.

I can't even remember the last time he hit a line drive or fly ball. He either grounds out to short or gets a ground ball base hit. Or watches strike 3 down the middle and then wants to bitch at the ump.

[Pepe Silvia]

It's about 4-for-68 or so now.

Wow, still dreadful. That guy shouldn't be in the majors but you guys know this your idiot GM however doesn't.

[Archie F. Swin]

the fact that Moose and Getz are in the lineup are proof that Dayton is not serious about competing for the division.

I'm afraid that leaving Moose in KC to twist in the wind is just going to fuck his brain up.

Wow!

[BlackHelicopters]

Chen growing a lot of pitches. Bullpen early.

[petegz28]

Chen growing a lot of pitches. Bullpen early.

Good news is Ned used our 2 worst pitchers last night.

[BlackHelicopters]

Chen keeping us in it, so far.

[BlackHelicopters]

Good news is Ned used our 2 worst pitchers last night.

Davis, Mendoza. Check.

[Bambi]

Wow!

Francouer sucks. Let's not get things confused. But at least he was a professional hitter. Not a good one but he understood how pitchers pitched and how different situations called for different approaches.

Moustakas got fat (no pun intended) on shit west coast high school pitching and set a lot of records that don't matter. That, together with the fact that it appears he has no interest in keeping himself in shape brings me to the conclusion that he might very well be the worst every day player in major league baseball.

[petegz28]

Lough continues to show why he needs to be in the #2 spot.....

Yost continues to "not get it"....

[Sure-Oz]

Moustakas looks like a bust to me...Dallas Mcpherson style.

[BlackHelicopters]

Kotteras, Esky, Getz. Murderers row.

[stonedstooge]

LET'S LOAD 'EM UP AND SCORE 1 AGAIN

[BlackHelicopters]

LET'S LOAD 'EM UP AND SCORE 1 AGAIN

LMAO

[stonedstooge]

CLUTCH!

[TambaBerry]

Lets bench billy and try kottaras at DH lol

[BlackHelicopters]

Even when he gets a hit, Esky looks like he has checked out.

[petegz28]

2nd inning and Getz is putting down a bunt....Yost needs to be escorted out of the park

[stonedstooge]

2nd inning and Getz is putting down a bunt....Yost needs to be escorted out of the park

HE'S GOING FOR THEIR THROATS TRYING TO TACK 2 ON THEM

[petegz28]

And with 1 out even..Getz is bunting

[stonedstooge]

GETZ SOME!

[petegz28]

Gee...swinging away works out better than the bunt?????

[siberian khatru]

There's the hot bat we crave

[BlackHelicopters]

What the hell?

[BlackHelicopters]

HOT HAND

[siberian khatru]

Two runs should be enough, seeing as how Chen's ERA is 1.94.

[DeezNutz]

Really need to get this inning to Butler.

[petegz28]

He caught it, Hud you fucking idiot...so it doesn't matter if it's foul

[Sure-Oz]

Alex Gordon is awful right now

[BlackHelicopters]

Two runs should be enough, seeing as how Chen's ERA is 1.94.

LMAO

[BlackHelicopters]

Bad luck

[Bambi]

Alex Gordon is awful right now

It's been a good 2 months of this shit. All Star my ass, please.

[Bambi]

Flamenco Kick

[siberian khatru]

Alex Gordon is awful right now

Sadly, "right now" = last 2 months

[RockChalk]

I've had it with the fat ****.

At this point, I'd take just a decent offer for him

[BlackHelicopters]

Shut up Hud

[BlackHelicopters]

Here we go

[Sure-Oz]

Sadly, "right now" = last 2 months

This season is just no fun man.

[TambaBerry]

Jesus fucking Christ I wish we had legit home run hitter.

[siberian khatru]

Haha, there's your one run, O's.

[lewdog]

I'm here. Time for the Royals to Royally fuck this game up!

[WhawhaWhat]

Manny Machado is such a badass.

[Sure-Oz]

Amazing how much fucking work it is to score a run for my god damn Royals. Other teams just hit a HR whenever they fucking feel like it

[DeezNutz]

I assume someone else already mentioned that Myers went yard again tonight.

[Bambi]

Machado
Markakis
Jones
Davis

The Orioles are full of studs. We have nothing.

[Bambi]

I assume someone else already mentioned that Myers went yard again tonight.

no but I'll go check the highlite.

I will tell you that most publications have the Tampa Bay Rays as their #1 power ranking team right now though

[BlackHelicopters]

This o's pitcher sucks

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Hammel is our Wade Davis.

[DeezNutz]

Grounder to left-center.

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Billy hits one on the screws

[BlackHelicopters]

RISP for Moose

[DeezNutz]

Agent .000 steps up.

[DeezNutz]

And there's one!!!!!!!

[BlackHelicopters]

Unreal

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Nice win guys. Hammel sucks so bad.

[Mr. Laz]

nice moose


slow ass billy

[RockChalk]

Gotta love Butler not being able to make it first to home on a ball in the RF corner that takes a bad hop off the wall

[petegz28]

See, you talk some smack on Billy and Moose and they perform

[Sure-Oz]

Moose wow awesome u fuck

[TambaBerry]

Unbelievable billy couldn't get home off that Jesus

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This o's pitcher sucks

They're really teeing off on this turd. Imagine what the score would be if the Royals had a power hitter or two.

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Billy can barely breathe

[Mr. Laz]

in the wide shot it looked like Billy had it made


maybe the 3rd base coach could hear Butler wheezing and thought he would die if he had to run any further

[RockChalk]

Kottaras...HR or K here

[BlackHelicopters]

Cannot get a break

[RockChalk]

in the wide shot it looked like Billy had it made


maybe the 3rd base coach could hear Butler wheezing and thought he would die if he had to run any further

Well Rodriguez may very well be the worst 3rd base coach of all time. I hate him, and have since he took over that position 2 years ago

[Bambi]

See, you talk some smack on Billy and Moose and they perform

and the vicious cycle that is the Kansas City Royals continues.

[BlackHelicopters]

Punchless

[Mr. Laz]

dumbass 3rd base coach cost us a run

[RockChalk]

These guys suck. 3 innings in a row they've now managed to fuck up

[RockChalk]

dumbass 3rd base coach cost us a run

See a few posts above. He's awful. And has been for a few years now

[Al Bundy]

Belly is just a sloppy slow fat ass.

[BlackHelicopters]

Set up for three big innings. We have no big innings. Royals Fever. Catch it.

[-King-]

LMAO Three of the unluckiest outs I've seen in one inning.

[Mr. Laz]

See a few posts above. He's awful. And has been for a few years now:thumb:

[Bambi]

Eventually you have to just say bad luck is shit hitting.

[BlackHelicopters]

Chen dealing

[Mr. Laz]

Chen dealing
Chen has a fraction of the talent Davis/Hoch have but 10 times the pitcher

[BlackHelicopters]

Why is Getz a major leaguer?

[sedated]

How sad is it that we have 3 starting pitchers we could easily deal at the deadline, but the rest of the team is such crap that we are out of it. A rotation is what we have craved for the last decade+

[Mr. Laz]

How sad is it that we have 3 starting pitchers we could easily deal at the deadline, but the rest of the team is such crap that we are out of it. A rotation is what we have craved for the last decade+
pitching and defense is what wins championships




:spock:

[RockChalk]

Love that this teams kills everyone's will to even complain about them anymore

[Mr. Laz]

Love that this teams kills everyone's will to even complain about them anymore
they perfected the talent over the last 20+ years

[RockChalk]

they perfected the talent over the last 20+ years

oh I know. My dream scenario is that we are 10+ out after the weekend and Yost/DM get fired. It's a pipe dream, but I'd love to see it. #YayRoyalsBaseball

[Bambi]

10 in a row!

[stonedstooge]

WOW. They scored another when I was walking. Teams on fire

[stonedstooge]

Ned saving Chen for the playoff run. Yanked after 6 innings

[stonedstooge]

Belly you numbnuts!

[siberian khatru]

Royals in 6 innings have: 14 baserunners, 2 doubles, 3 stolen bases -- and only 3 ****ing runs.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Why in the world would you pull Chen?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

"strategery"

[siberian khatru]

Bob Dutton is on Twitter sparring with Royals fans. I think he's in complete "IDGAF" mode.

[bsp4444]

Does Belly have options left? He is single handedly killing this team.

[DeezNutz]

Bob Dutton is on Twitter sparring with Royals fans. I think he's in complete "IDGAF" mode.

He can shove it up his old ass. Reading box scores with Myers batting 4th for TB makes me fucking sick.

[siberian khatru]

Moooooose ... sucks

[Mama Hip Rockets]

There's that "average" defense all you morons have been talking about.

[Saul Good]

Did anyone else notice that Getz almost blocked that throw with his head?

[Bambi]

playoffs?

[siberian khatru]

Officially a quality start for Hammel.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Officially a quality start for Hammel.

LOL. I wonder if this is the worst quality start ever. 2.5 baserunners per inning.

[stonedstooge]

Officially a quality start for Hammel.

That it was/LeadHead Ned

[stonedstooge]

Crow gets the job done in the 8th

[siberian khatru]

Wow, Crow owned Machado there

[JoeyChuckles]

Usually the Waning Interest thread comes in early May.

Can't say we're not improving. We'll get em next decade boys!

[siberian khatru]

That completes the Getzian Small-ball Cycle: Single, walk, sacrifice, stolen base.

[siberian khatru]

16 baserunners. 3 runs.

[stonedstooge]

Holland for the kill

[Three7s]

Well, I guess the only way the Royals win these days is when their starting pitcher reincarnates into Cy Young for a night.

[siberian khatru]

I got a bad feeling about this one.

[stonedstooge]

UH-OH

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Greg Holland just gave up a run. WTF.

[Sure-Oz]

SHIIIIT

[TambaBerry]

Holland not pitching well gg

[Bambi]

So much for the trade value. Sure really makes sense to keep all these guys huh Dayton?

[lewdog]

Holland doing a Jim Johnson impression.

[tk13]

You have got to be kidding.

[stonedstooge]

2 ddddddooowwwnnnnnnnn

[siberian khatru]

One more

[Sure-Oz]

This isn't the same Holland that we all freaked out on before...i have total confidence he isnt shaken.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Ice in his veins.

[stonedstooge]

WE'RE BUYERS AGAIN!!!!!!!!

[mr. tegu]

Nice!

[siberian khatru]

BADASS

[tk13]

Never a doubt.

[Sure-Oz]

Holland is a fucking stud, seriously.

His trade value will never be higher...too bad the Royals won't explore any option.

Seriously.

[Ceej]

Jim Johnson is dumbfounded.

[-King-]

Whew! Got scared there for a second.

[stonedstooge]

Holland's slider is cruel and unusual punishment

[siberian khatru]

After that outing, I'm the only one who thinks Holland should remain closer. /hootie

[gblowfish]

Nice recovery by Holland. Would have been a shame to waste that start by Chen. Win is a win, baby.

[petegz28]

great game,..Holland has some nads

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I wonder where the Royals would be if Chen had started the whole year and Davis was in the bullpen.

[Sure-Oz]

I kinda cringe with each win....i kind've want Santana traded

[Bambi]

When did your dumb ass start posting in these threads?

Not sure who you are? I have over 9K posts on this board. I would stfu and learn something or keep shooting your mouth off. Either way I probably won't remember you.

[tk13]

Holland is such a stud. I think he's better than Soria. I get why trading him is a good idea but he's so unhittable he can be a Kimbrel/Rivera type guy back there. We aren't going to find another one of him. Plus I guess I'm afraid we won't get what he's worth because he's not a "name."

[Ceej]

Is there talk of trading him?

[Sure-Oz]

Is there talk of trading him?

It would be smart to explore it...being an all star this year didn't hurt.

We all know how valuable a closer is too a shitty team. GMDM atleast has several RP's that could atleast do a decent job closing. Yes, he is dominant but we all know how Soria went. RP's rarely sustain year in year out like Rivera has

[tk13]

Is there talk of trading him?

I got the feeling the general consensus among Royals fans is he should be traded. I don't think there's been any serious rumors though.

And to be fair it's usually a good idea. Relievers are an up-and-down proposition. But Holland has put up top shelf numbers for 3 years now and averages almost 15 K/9 IP. They won't replace that. It just depends on what you get for him.

[siberian khatru]

Is there talk of trading him?

Just hypothetical talk on the Internet: Should the Royals trade Holland?

I don't think Dayton would ever do that. Too unconventional, too outside the box.

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Good game guys. How it was only 3-2 game IDK felt like 10-1 all night.

[LoneWolf]

lew is the mother****ing man!!

This.

Wickedson measuring his worth by the number of posts he has on this board is laughable. He has 9000 posts and maybe a dozen of them aren't ****ing retarded. Lew has more quality posts in a day than Wickedson does in a year.

[gblowfish]

My cat often poops outside the box....

[Bambi]

I don't typically take kindly to people who don't know me calling me a "dumbass". I have no idea who the kid is. I would never have said anything personally attacking him but if that's the kind of person he is I don't really care about associating with him.

My record in Royals threads is extensive. Not sure why the butthurt is so strong towards me by this guy Lew.

[duncan_idaho]

Late to the party (softball doubleheader last night), but I wanted to say... that's the difference an elite closer makes.

Runner on 3rd, nobody out, one-run lead? It's cool. I got this.

Royals should definitely still trade Santana, considering what the market price is for pitchers of his caliber this year,and should explore a trade for Holland.

I love Holland, but you have to at least explore moving him, especially when the bullpen is still a relative strength.

Santana + Hoch for Bogaerts; what, in your opinion, do we have to throw in to make that work duncan?

Holland for Castellanos; what do we have to throw in to make that work?

I'm not sure the bullpen would be much of a strength without Holland at this point. Collins, Herrera, and Crow have all struggled this year.

Holland for Castellanos; what do we have to throw in to make that work?
Considering Boegaerts is a 20-year-old crushing it at AAA (800 OPS), I'd think you'd have to ship Santana and Holland to Boston to even get in the conversation, and even then, probably not enough.

You might have to include Ventura to make that work.
