Royals vs Mariners - 9/23/13

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Started the thread yesterday, so I figured I'd give it another shot.

[CaliforniaChief]

Agreed. And in.

[Dartgod]

In for the 2nd of 8 in a row!

[SPchief]

West coast game tonight and I don't have to work in the morning. Planning on staying up and drinking for this one.

[kstater]

In(through the 1st inning).

[lewdog]

WTF am I supposed to do until then? I'm even on West Coast time is this feels awkward. Glad they don't play west coast very often.

[SPchief]

Watch football? :shrug:

[lewdog]

Watch football? :shrug:

You know, I'm rather retarded tonight. I was planning on watching that anyway.

Thanks.

[chiefsfan987]

Crappy weather out here today for the game. Been raining most of the day and kinda chilly. It's cold enough to see your breath outside.

[chiefsfan987]

Well, I'm headed off to the game. Hopefully I get to see a winner tonight. Seattle always plays us tough out here.

[cabletech94]

goooooooooooooo royals!!!!!

[-King-]

Hate West coast games.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

LOL Rangers beating Astros 7-0 already. Not looking good.

[stonedstooge]

Gonna have trouble staying awake for this one

[stonedstooge]

Ventura strikes out the side. w00t

[RedDread]

This kid is sick

[siberian khatru]

Ventura strikes out the side

[Prison Bitch]

Ventura strikes out the side. w00t

Wow. This guy is even better than the reports said.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Good thing Ned kept Davies in the rotation till August. This guy clearly wasn't ready.

[Prison Bitch]

Weak chop out for Fatty

[CaliforniaChief]

Our offense is just horrible right now.

On another note, Ventura looked i-n-c-r-e-d-i-b-l-e in the first. Hoping that continues.

[stonedstooge]

w00t. DP wastes the single

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice inning. I love this kid.

[SPchief]

Kid's gonna be good

[stonedstooge]

Wonder if that was chiefsfan987

[Demonpenz]

Go team

[stonedstooge]

shit

[Demonpenz]

whats the Royals deal with swinging first pitch.

[CaliforniaChief]

Can we fly George Brett back out to work on hitting with these guys? They're just chopping everything into the ground. And there, with a rookie on the mound and speed on first, THAT's what they came up with?

[Dartgod]

So this guy's ERA is 6+ and batters are hitting around .300 from both sides of the plate?

And we have had 1 base runner in 3 innings?




Yeah, sounds about right.

[stonedstooge]

OH MY. What a play

[SPchief]

What a grab by Hos. And I think it's a bad call

[petegz28]

Call was correct

[Prison Bitch]

He was clearly out.

[CaliforniaChief]

Great play on both sides, and the right call.

If I keep my speakers up on my computer, Ventura's going to break them with those fastballs against the mitt. My goodness.

[Prison Bitch]

Ervin who?

[lewdog]

Our hitting is looking consistent.

[stonedstooge]

Alex no help again

[Imon Yourside]

Is that Walter Johnson pitching for the Mariners?

[lewdog]

We've made a lot of pitchers look Cy Young like this year. And not the good ones.

[siberian khatru]

Well at least we won't be no-hit

[stonedstooge]

HOSMER FUCKING STINGS ONE

[lewdog]

God Hoz has really looked sharp going on a few months straight. Easily our best hitter.

[KevB]

Don't think Hos can hit a ball harder than that

[Imon Yourside]

Ya, 1st and 3rd..1 out.

Billy up.

[KevB]

God Hoz has really looked sharp going on a few months straight. Easily our best hitter.

He's seeing the ball so well. He's taking vicious cuts and making solid contact routinely.

[Dartgod]

Billy won't hit into another DP, will he?

[lewdog]

Ya, 1st and 3rd..1 out.

Billy up.

sausage, bacon and eggs!

[Imon Yourside]

Billy won't hit into another DP, will he?

Drats..why?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Hearing "Let's go Royals!" chants on TV on the other side of the country during the last week of the season. That's pretty awesome.

[stonedstooge]

Gawd that low and away slider has killed Belly this year

[Mama Hip Rockets]

So fat and terrible and un-clutch.

[lewdog]

Haters gonna hate!!!

/I'll have the buffet

[Imon Yourside]

HAHA! Butler comes through...1st and 3rd 1 out..1 in..

[stonedstooge]

w00t. BELLY WITH THE 2 RIBBIES

[Prison Bitch]

He got one!!!!

[Dartgod]

BELLY!!!

[KevB]

Billy comes up with a big hit

[Prison Bitch]

So fat and terrible and un-clutch.

You've been waiting six weeks to say that?

[KCUnited]

Maurer falls apart. Thanks cock stroke.

[KevB]

Gawd that low and away slider has killed Belly this year

Don't disagree, but that was a filthy slider

[siberian khatru]

That's more like it

[lewdog]

And the absolute worst hitter comes to the plate....

[Imon Yourside]

And the absolute worst hitter comes to the plate....

MOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

You've been waiting six weeks to say that?

Um, nope. I've actually been pointing out every time he gets a big hit. Which is actually, despite all you imbecile's opinions, far, far more often than he hits into a double play.

Pay attention.

[Dartgod]

Stop helping him out, Moose.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

And the absolute worst hitter comes to the plate....

Billy is batting again? -- CP

[Imon Yourside]

Shocking...Moose strikes out...way dude.

[Dartgod]

Quality AB.

[lewdog]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's really hard at this point to tell the difference between Moose and Boo chants. He's fucking horrid.

[thebrad84]

Moustakas is absolutely awful at the plate. Sure wish they'd consider moving Gordon back to 3rd and letting Lough play OF full time

[KCUnited]

Nasty breaking ball.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Moustakas is absolutely awful at the plate. Sure wish they'd consider moving Gordon back to 3rd and letting Lough play OF full time

That would be sweet.

[stonedstooge]

Love to see Ventura striking out hitters on his breaking stuff

[lewdog]

Moustakas is absolutely awful at the plate. Sure wish they'd consider moving Gordon back to 3rd and letting Lough play OF full time

This point has been brought up before but I don't know a team that would move a gold glove outfielder to a new position in his prime. But if there's a team to do it, it would probably be us. :facepalm:

[stonedstooge]

This point has been brought up before but I don't know a team that would move a gold glove outfielder to a new position in his prime. But if there's a team to do it, it would probably be us. :facepalm:

I'll have to ponder on that/LeadHead Ned

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This point has been brought up before but I don't know a team that would move a gold glove outfielder to a new position in his prime. But if there's a team to do it, it would probably be us. :facepalm:

It's not really a new position.

[Imon Yourside]

We have ourselves a pitcher folks.

[KevB]

Looks like we have another contender for the rotation next season.

[Imon Yourside]

It's really hard at this point to tell the difference between Moose and Boo chants. He's ****ing horrid.

Escapes me how he is still playing...I mean if he hit 30+ homers I could kind of ...sort of see it..If he had a decent on base and walked a shitload..ya maybe...but..man is he horrible.

[CaliforniaChief]

That was a phenomenal inning. First of all, to shut the other team out after scoring is big. Also, he adjusted to Morales with a nice breaking ball to him. Salvy's such a great catcher to have working with Ventura too.

[Prison Bitch]

This point has been brought up before but I don't know a team that would move a gold glove outfielder to a new position in his prime. But if there's a team to do it, it would probably be us. :facepalm:

Kietzman has argued it and I can't say it's a terrible idea. Moose is barely replacement level while Dyspn and Lough were both 2+. Makes more sense than signing an aging Beltran for 10m to kick balls around in the OF

[stonedstooge]

Score some more runs for him bitches

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Looks like we have another contender for the rotation next season.

He should be a shoo-in. Shoe-in? How do you spell that? I don't know.

Anyway, he's awesome. He's proven he deserves to be in the rotation.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Attention, Royals: This peckerhead's ERA is almost 7. Score some damn runs.

[lewdog]

Kietzman has argued it and I can't say it's a terrible idea. Moose is barely replacement level while Dyspn and Lough were both 2+. Makes more sense than signing an aging Beltran for 10m to kick balls around in the OF

Oh I get it but we've also seen how mentally soft Alex is at times. It clearly fucks with his head when he hits in the #3 slot. I can only imagine what a few errors at 3B would do to his hitting.

[stonedstooge]

58 pitches in 5 innings. JUST AWESOME

[SPchief]

Just straight dealing

[C3HIEF3S]

Damn!

[CaliforniaChief]

He's getting better as the game is going on. Scary good.

[Cephalic Trauma]

58 pitches in 5 innings.

[tk13]

I don't know guys, maybe we shouldn't be starting a rookie in a playoff race. :)

[stonedstooge]

ALEX GETS IT GOING

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Holy crap. Alex Gordon got a hit.

[Cephalic Trauma]

I don't know guys, maybe we shouldn't be starting a rookie in a playoff race. :)

I miss Wade Davis.

/Not one fucking person.

[thebrad84]

Escapes me how he is still playing...I mean if he hit 30+ homers I could kind of ...sort of see it..If he had a decent on base and walked a shitload..ya maybe...but..man is he horrible.

He's still playing because we have no one to replace him unless we went the Gordon route.. but at this rate we better come up with something in the off-season

[siberian khatru]

How about giving Ventura another 3-4 runs to play with?

[alnorth]

He's still playing because we have no one to replace him unless we went the Gordon route.. but at this rate we better come up with something in the off-season

I imagine we'll get a utility guy who can adequately field 3B to "back up" Moose along with 1B/2B, and if Moose starts out slow, he could get demoted.

[Cephalic Trauma]

:cuss::cuss::cuss:

[Dartgod]

This is what happens when you struggle to score runs against some turd with a 6+ ERA.

[stonedstooge]

Shields, Santana, Ventura, Duffy and ? I LIKEY

[CaliforniaChief]

Too bad he couldn't get out of that inning. A lot of positives on this kid, though. He's got #1 stuff.

[Imon Yourside]

This is what happens when you struggle to score runs against some turd with a 6+ ERA.

Really? I thought this guy had an ERA below 2...looked like it most of the night.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Shields, Santana, Ventura, Duffy and ? I LIKEY

Will Paulino ever pitch again?

[C3HIEF3S]

Shields, Santana, Ventura, Duffy and ? I LIKEY

Guthrie

[Imon Yourside]

Will Smith Bitches!!!!!!!!!

[Prison Bitch]

Smith delivers again. 5 starter?

[lewdog]

Guthrie

I think Guts is done. Anyone else?

[Dartgod]

Now let's score a shit load of runs so the kid can get his first ML win.

[alnorth]

I think Guts is done. Anyone else?

Guthrie would be a great #5. We'd have to re-sign Santana first, though.

[Prison Bitch]

Moose is a total waste of humanity

[stonedstooge]

Will Paulino ever pitch again?

Hope so. Having setbacks was last I heard about him

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Hope so. Having setbacks was last I heard about him

I hope so too. Kid's got some filthy stuff when he's healthy.

[CaliforniaChief]

Guthrie will be back in the rotation next year. His contract virtually guarantees it. Barring a trade, I'd love a rotation of:

Shields, Santana, Duffy, Ventura, Guthrie.

Maybe Zimmer pushes Guthrie late season, though. And I wouldn't rule out Will Smith either.

[Imon Yourside]

Good Job Dyson...

[CaliforniaChief]

Dyson...seriously. :facepalm:

[stonedstooge]

DAMMIT DYSON

[lewdog]

He takes to most awkward lines to balls in the air. I really can't stand his fielding.

[Pablo]

Fuck Jarrod!

[Dartgod]

Well, fuck.

Shitty effort all around tonight.

[C3HIEF3S]

Jfc.

[CaliforniaChief]

What the hell, ump?

[Imon Yourside]

WTF was that pitch?

[alnorth]

welp, I'm going to bed. If they lose, I don't want to see it.

[CaliforniaChief]

Watch the squeeze.

[lewdog]

welp, I'm going to bed. If they lose, I don't want to see it.

I'm in the same boat. Given our realistic no shot anyway. I don't wanna see us lose this as well. If we win, cool.

[Imon Yourside]

I'm in the same boat. Given our realistic no shot anyway. I don't wanna see us lose this as well. If we win, cool.

Collins does that to a man...don't blame ya.

[lewdog]

Collins does that to a man...don't blame ya.

Just please don't neg rep me three times over this please. :D

[CaliforniaChief]

And there it is. This one's on you Dyson.

[Imon Yourside]

Just please don't neg rep me three times over this please. :D

Too late.....it's comin...grrrrrrrrr COLLINS!!!!!!!! &$%*#&@$(*&@*(U@*@#


:D it's all good man.

[lewdog]

Night all. Time to go all focus on the Chiefs I guess.

[Dartgod]

And there it is. This one's on you Dyson.

That and our shitty offense. Scoring 2 runs off that turd was criminal.

[stonedstooge]

Night all. Time to go all focus on the Chiefs I guess.
Gonna miss the comeback

[CaliforniaChief]

Ventura should be 2-0...thanks to the bullpen and defense for screwing that up.

[CaliforniaChief]

:facepalm: God, Collins.

[Imon Yourside]

:facepalm: God, Collins.

I blame Ned...he has to know this shit by now.

[CaliforniaChief]

Can't blame Ned too much for this, IMO. Dyson just flat let a moderate catch go right by him. Following a leadoff walk.

[Demonpenz]

I am not watching after maxwell's homerun. Kinda just like shutting the snes off after a nhl 94 championship

[stonedstooge]

STILL IN IT

[SPchief]

Nice

[CaliforniaChief]

I'd pinch hit Maxwell for Dyson to start the inning.

[cabletech94]

gay rod dyson should only pinch run. that is his only redeeming quality in life. every time he plays defense, i'm ready for a what the eff moment.

god damnit go royals.............

[Imon Yourside]

Dyson gets a chance to redeem himself...leading off the inning.

[Imon Yourside]

Can't blame Ned too much for this, IMO. Dyson just flat let a moderate catch go right by him. Following a leadoff walk.

I meant for bringing in Collins...but he did ok after loading the bases.

[KevB]

I've been unable to watch most of this game because my Time Warner feed is horrific. Maybe it's for the best now.

[stonedstooge]

Charlie Furbush huh?

[CaliforniaChief]

And that's why. Nice job.

[stonedstooge]

w00t. MAXWELL DOUBLES

[Imon Yourside]

Alright....Maxwell comes through again.

[SPchief]

Maxwell leads off with a double

[CaliforniaChief]

Escobar can't even get a sacrifice down. God.

[Imon Yourside]

Shit..bad base running there and an even worse bunt..wow that blows

[SPchief]

Fuck

[Demonpenz]

Ackley is going to make ole horowitz turn all the way around this time.

[stonedstooge]

ALEX COMES THROUGH

[Imon Yourside]

Nice hit and run...1st and 3rd with one out.

http://atdhe.xxx/baseball/watch-seattle-mariners-kansas-city-royals-43bfe

[Cephalic Trauma]

No. No fucking bunts.

[stonedstooge]

BONIFACIO TIES IT UP

[SPchief]

Bono!

[Cephalic Trauma]

Boni mother fuckers!!

[CaliforniaChief]

Wake up Al!

[Imon Yourside]

Nice...tied...with runners at 1st and 3rd.

[cosmo20002]

Hanging on for dear life---

Too bad about that out at 3rd, dammit

[Imon Yourside]

Hosmer trying to put the game away....big swing..no contact.

[stonedstooge]

ERROR SCORES ANOTHER

[Cephalic Trauma]

Wow.

[SPchief]

HELL YEAH!

[Imon Yourside]

Taking the lead on a bad dp error....lolz i'll take it!

[cosmo20002]

Payback for Dyson's error

[Demonpenz]

lol #Royals are pesky.

[Imon Yourside]

Too bad for those that turned in early.

[a pp roach]

aww shyt sun

[stonedstooge]

BREAK IT OPEN BELLY

[SPchief]

Make em pay Salvy

[stonedstooge]

w00t. SALVY SINGLES IN ANOTHER

[Imon Yourside]

Thanks Salvy....insurance run....WOOT!

[SPchief]

Salvy!

[KevB]

Atta Boy Sal!

[CaliforniaChief]

:clap:

[Demonpenz]

grown ass man.

[Imon Yourside]

Moose was only off by a couple of feet on that swing.

[KevB]

Moose now just swinging through fastballs in what is supposed to be his wheelhouse

[KevB]

His bat just looks slow through the zone. His hands come through, and the head of the bat lags behind.

[Demonpenz]

Moose missed balls that had no movement right down the middle.

[CaliforniaChief]

Hoch time.

[Imon Yourside]

Moose missed balls that had no movement right down the middle.

Maybe he had something in his eye? Most likely he still sucks bawls....

[Imon Yourside]

Hochevar making em' look silly!

[CaliforniaChief]

WOW....nice pitch Hoch.

[CaliforniaChief]

Oops.

[stonedstooge]

Hoch gives up the gopher ball

[Imon Yourside]

Good thing we got that insurance run...

[KevB]

Ok, I have to question Sal there. He called for a ball inner half based on where he set up. Gutierrez isn't hurting you on the outer half, and he'd just waved at a slider to no effect. Why risk going inside?

[stonedstooge]

OH MY. TIE BALLGAME

[CaliforniaChief]

Wow...tie game.

[Imon Yourside]

Welp...shit.

[cosmo20002]

J...F...C...

[SPchief]

Fuck Hoch, get it together

Not a good pitch there at all.

[God of Thunder]

I could have hit that ball out.

[cosmo20002]

Good thing we got that insurance run...

Needed more coverage

[KevB]

Unbelievable. Two shitty batters in a meaningless game for them against a pitcher with a one and a half ERA. Fuckin' baseball man.

[Demonpenz]

That would be sweet if moose could hit a ball down the middle.

[Imon Yourside]

Needed more coverage

Well shit happens..Hochevar has been money all year...it happens.

[Imon Yourside]

That would be sweet if moose could hit a ball down the middle.

He just needs more time..give him 10 years...i bet his average is above 200 by then.

[SAUTO]

Well shit happens..Hochevar has been money all year...it happens.

He fucking sucks in pressure situations. Always has.

LETS SCORE SOME MORE

[CaliforniaChief]

I'm not going to hate on Hoch, he's been so clutch all year. But man, that hurt.

[tk13]

Well that sucked. Most people would never guess the Mariners are right near the top in HR.

Probably should have been out....initially safe..but came off the bag.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

[CaliforniaChief]

In that situation I'm ok with a bunt, but would have brought Lough in to do it. Also, I would have pinch hit for Escobar and moved Bonifacio over to SS in the 9th. Either that, or let Maxwell hit from pitch 1.

[tk13]

Dude, I've watched him from the get go. He has consistently sucked in pressure situations. He is mentally weak.

Posted via Mobile Device

Certainly they didn't put him in tough spots early on in the year... but in the 2nd half when they've made a run he's probably been the best middle reliever. They've put him in plenty of pressure situations.

[CaliforniaChief]

Also I'd go with Coleman here.
