****08/24/13: Royals vs. Nationals Official Game Thread ****

[duncan_idaho]

Haven't started one this year, might as well start this one.

Wade Davis getting rocked early... everything in that first inning was hit HARD, but great D from Gordon and Bonifacio bails him out.

[stonedstooge]

Ima watchin

[duncan_idaho]

BTW...

The starter for Washington in this game would be a Royal if Zack Greinke hadn't vetoed the trade to Washington (and the guy playing SS would be a Royal, too).

Thanks, Zack.

Got to give him a little leeway. He may not have been sane at that point and time

[Nightfyre]

Why do we continue to start Davis? JFC.

[stonedstooge]

He kind of settled down the last 2 innings. Hope he can keep it going for a few more

[WhawhaWhat]

Bonifacio can move.

[stonedstooge]

w00t. Hosmer ties it up with the rbi single

[stonedstooge]

Patented Belly double play

[Nightfyre]

Billy Butler GIDP. He does seem to do that a lot.

[Nightfyre]

Davis continues to pitch BP to the nationals.

[stonedstooge]

Flipped to the Chiefs with the score 2-1, flip back, 5-1 shit

[lewdog]

I took the over again tonight. Was 8.5.

[KevB]

Leave Davis in the rotation, he's clearly just about to turn it around.

Same story, different year (Davies then Hochever).

[stonedstooge]

7 hits, 5 stranded 1 run. Same old shit

[lewdog]

And Alex Smith's swing passes are taking away my Royals pain.


Oh wait...........

[teedubya]

I hate Ned. I just wanted to add that to this thread.

[Nightfyre]

Gordon is really struggling.

[stonedstooge]

Ned's giving up early tonight, leaving Davies in after giving up 7 runs through 5. Hope he doesn't see his firing coming again. How many in a row does he have to lose to get the axe?

[duncan_idaho]

If they fall below .500 again, is that enough to get Ned Yost axed?

One can hope...

[Prison Bitch]

Alshitty with the chop off the plate with two in scoring position. Man he's awful

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I'm so glad 1-hit-vs-tigers Duffy is back in AAA so Wade Davis can keep pitching.

[stonedstooge]

Welp the start of another week of losses. 7 in a row. Is LeadHead Ned let go if they are swept in consecutive series?

[duncan_idaho]

This team has QUIT.

[PHOG]

No, No. Ned knows. :doh!::banghead:

[CaliforniaChief]

We all had our misgivings about Ned, GMDM, the trade, etc...but it's amazing how in just about 10 days this has turned into a pitchforks and torches event.

I guess the only thing worse than failure is extreme hope turning into failure.

Wade Davis is a joke as a starter. Continuing to run him out there in the rotation while Duffy clowns around in Omaha is a complete fail.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

LOL. We've gone from 600+ posts in game threads to less than 30 in just two weeks. Remarkable.

[stonedstooge]

Back to .500

[Nightfyre]

I think Yost and Moore both get the boot at the end of the year.

[CaliforniaChief]

I think the next closed door meeting needs to include firearms, explosives, devices of torture, and ancient Mayan survival games.

[CaliforniaChief]

Honestly I think Moore will return, but I suppose it's possible that Wil Myers could just go on a tear and carry the Rays to a title, which would not look real good.

[Al Czervik]

The more they lose, the better chance Ned is kicked to the curb....
But, bottom line is we have one of the worst owners in the history of baseball.
It will never change as long as the POS Glass's own the team.
Its Red and Black to those fuktards. Not Wins or Losses.
Sad shit....

[penbrook]

After Royals loss, Ned.Yost says he's considering taking Wade Davis out of starting rotation..

[Nightfyre]

Davis has been throwing meatballs since the ASB. If I can spot it, I don't see how they can't as fucking "Baseball professionals." He just got extremely lucky for about three starts there.

[gblowfish]

Seven straight losses. Life may end soon for Big Head Ned.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

After Royals loss, Ned.Yost says he's considering taking Wade Davis out of starting rotation..

Well, that's just great. Now that it's too late to matter, let's take the worst pitcher out of the rotation!

Hey now, David Glass LOVES baseball.
And his Cardinals are only one game behind Pittsburgh!

[Al Bundy]

Terrible team.

[Shogun]

This is the perfect gif for post ASB

[Nightfyre]

LMAO

[Sure-Oz]

Royals will go under .500 tomorrow and not get back to it

[AussieChiefsFan]

Holy shit, they're into the 18th inning.

[tk13]

Yeah, the Phillies put their RF in to pitch. He got rocked. So they moved him back to the OF and put the LF in to pitch. It's a Little League game.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

The Phillies have issued 18 walks tonight. That has to be a single-game record, right?

[tk13]

The first position player to pitch was Casper Wells. He finished with 2/3 IP, 5 ER... plus 0-7 at the plate with 4 strikeouts. Now that's a rough game.
