KC vs TB Game Thread: The Wil Myers Acid Test

[gblowfish]

Make up game today at 1:10pm. Makes up for a snow out in the Spring. Should be nice and toasty out there today. Let's see how bad Myers rubs GMDM's nose in it.

[Prison Bitch]

It's Myers, dope.

[gblowfish]

It's Myers, dope.

Spel chek iz fur puzies. Coffee....gotta have more coffee....

[Dave Lane]

You have to love prison bitch of all people playing selling cop

[Archie F. Swin]

[Prison Bitch]

lol, i'm a good selling cop.

[gblowfish]

Royals up 1 zip.

[siberian khatru]

Mellinger tweeted a photo of the stadium before the game, and it looked like there were less than 5,000 people there.

[gblowfish]

And....we drop a pop up on the infield. Playoff baseball!

[SPchief]

BUST

[SPchief]

They are doing live look ins on MLB network

[Prison Bitch]

groupon had an offer on this game, says 1,200 were sold:

why anyone would buy the expensive seats instead of the cheapos and just walking down, is a mystery

[BlackHelicopters]

Remind me agin what we got for Greinke?

[Prison Bitch]

Remind me agin what we got for Greinke?

I've done my best to do so.

[BlackHelicopters]

I've done my best to do so.

I am slow. Remind me again.

[Titty Meat]

This is the guy lewdog wanted to trade so the team could go .500 right?

[Prison Bitch]

We got a damn good starter, one of the top-10 in the AL, for Wil Myers. The problem is we got dog crap for Zack. Tampa would never trade a David Price for the garbage we got from Milwaukee.

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice work, Billy!

[WhawhaWhat]

Bonifacio can fly.

[WhawhaWhat]

Royals have Hellickson on the ropes.

[CaliforniaChief]

Boom!

[WhawhaWhat]

3-0 Royals. RBI double from Moustakas.

[CaliforniaChief]

Good job, Salvy. 4-0

[CaliforniaChief]

Go fetch that ball, Bitch Myers. 5-0

[WhawhaWhat]

Hellickson out of the game.

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice inning, boys. Now need to hold it down and blow these dicks out.

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice 10 pitch battle. Guthrie strikes Myers out.

[thebrad84]

Is it not on tv?

[duncan_idaho]

Side note: Since they were just discussing Bubba Starling on the game feed....

Bubba has an OPS over 1.000 in the month of August. Only 75 at-bats or so, and his strikeout numbers are still an issue. But it's possible the kid is starting to progress a little. If he can get his hit tool to a 40 grade (mlb average - or about .260), everything else says "star."

BP had similar/positive things to say about him in their weekend update.

When he gets good we can trade him for pitching!

[gblowfish]

That's the David DeJesus I know and love!

[gblowfish]

Rays manager got kicked out. Probably a good idea. It's hot out there today.

[WhawhaWhat]

Looked like an obvious strike to me. Not sure what they were arguing about.

[duncan_idaho]

That's the David DeJesus I know and love!

Was he smiling when called out? I missed that.

[gblowfish]

Stealin' third, baby....

[CaliforniaChief]

Bonifacio's been far better than I thought he would be.

[CaliforniaChief]

Matt Joyce just owns us. Seriously, have we ever gotten him out?

[CaliforniaChief]

Just saw that Guthrie's pitch count is already at 105 in the 5th. WOW.

[CaliforniaChief]

Gonna need the bullpen to hold this down from this point on, I would imagine.

[duncan_idaho]

Bonifacio's been far better than I thought he would be.

He has been a quality player in the past. It's possible he's a nice piece for next year.

[gblowfish]

Beat them down....down...down....

[gblowfish]

Moose comes thru....it's a beat down.

[mikey23545]

Now it's a beat down.

[siberian khatru]

Despite what happened Friday night, I think we've got this one, boys.

[SPchief]

Salvy beasting

[Dartgod]

Salvy beasting

Killed the rally.

[Bambi]

Myers drop below .300 and the Royals score 10 runs?

D Moore love this...

[chefsos]

Hey, Rays, what did you do on your rare middle-of-a-homestand day off?

"Took a day trip to KC just to receive an ass beating."

Heh. They got fucked, but...well, fuck 'em.

[ChiefsCountry]

The Royals are going to cock tease us again with 10 games against the Twins, Blue Jays and Mariners. Get our hopes up again and then Detroit comes to town.

[siberian khatru]

So if you're David Lough and Louis Coleman, you know where you stand with Ned.

[duncan_idaho]

Yost's use/misuse of David Lough and Louis Coleman is just another in the long list of questionable decisions about personnel that Ned has made.

Logic-defying. Team-damaging.

But whatever.

[TribalElder]

Ol will is gonna fill up the fountains with home runs ROFL

[chiefsfan987]

There are like 10 people at the stadium today lol.

[siberian khatru]

I bet the Rays really enjoyed that.

One-game road trip. Very hot day. Nobody in the stands. Got their butts kicked.

[gblowfish]

A winnah!
Hey, I'm 2 for 2 on thread starting!

[chiefsfan987]

I don't know how Tampa is going to go to the playoffs. The Royals kicked their *** all year so they can't be that good.

[duncan_idaho]

I bet the Rays really enjoyed that.

One-game road trip. Very hot day. Nobody in the stands. Got their butts kicked.

I bet they really are glad they bitched about the field during the original game and got it called.

They were getting their asses kicked in that one. If they'd just toughed it out for one more inning, none of this ever happens.

[gblowfish]

Just think how bad it would have been if Elliot Johnson would've played?

[siberian khatru]

Just think how bad it would have been if Elliot Johnson would've played?

I was just about to post that I'm glad we proved we can beat the Rays without EJ.

[WhawhaWhat]

I missed why Alex Gordon got taken out of the game today. Anyone know why?

[TambaBerry]

I missed why Alex Gordon got taken out of the game today. Anyone know why?

rest him

[SPchief]

I missed why Alex Gordon got taken out of the game today. Anyone know why?

It was 100 degrees and it was a `10 run game?

[BWillie]

Royals were angry 2day

What I would give to have Zobrist be the 2B for the Royals.

[stonedstooge]

2 in a row baby!. Gonna get right back in this thing

Soooo true. Why don't the local press ever take this angle in their questions and commentary? Ponznanski would have written multiple snark comments about this by now.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice to blow the Rays out again. We really had their number this year, only dropping one game against them, and IIRC most of the games weren't close.

[Mr. Laz]

Myers 0-4 with 2 strikeouts


he sucks peen, we win!!!

[Nightfyre]

So I went back and watched this game. We ate their pitchers. I guess that means we can capitalize on a struggling Hellickson working after a long night of travel. Hooray.

The sky is falling! Oh noes!!

Had the original game in hand with Santana too.

[BlackHelicopters]

The pieces are all falling into place for the Royals now.

[Archie F. Swin]

So, Belly jacked one over the fence in garbage time.....again?


(((sigh)))

[Three7s]

He has the meaningless late-inning solo homer down pat.

[WhawhaWhat]

(((sigh)))

and that dickhole Sal Perez! :#

[duncan_idaho]

So, Belly jacked one over the fence in garbage time.....again?


(((sigh)))

I don't really care when he hits his HR as long as he keeps OPSing .850 with men on and .890 with RISP (what he is currently doing).
