[BlackHelicopters]

[stonedstooge]

PIMPDAWG!!

[petegz28]

good play, Cain. Way to pick up your pitcher

[BlackHelicopters]

LoCain! That what D do.

[Canofbier]

Cain wants that Gold Glove this year.

[CaliforniaChief]

We're gonna need some more runs.

[silver5liter]

well atleast Billy cant shit the bed with runners on this time

[stonedstooge]

well atleast Billy cant shit the bed with runners on this time

You new to the Royals following? Don't think I've seen you here before

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Belly

[BlackHelicopters]

Swipe second!

[petegz28]

Come,on Alex...hit it to the wall so Billay don't get thrown out at 2nd

[CaliforniaChief]

Let's knock this clown out. Get to that bullpen.

[Cephalic Trauma]

Anybody got a stream?

[stonedstooge]

Salvy has one of the simplest swings I've ever seen in the game

[BlackHelicopters]

Moose in a big spot here.

[Cephalic Trauma]

Willsuckdick4stream

[petegz28]

Come on, Ump...that was high

[BlackHelicopters]

Looked like a ball

[C3HIEF3S]

Baby steps.

[BlackHelicopters]

Bases loaded!

[stonedstooge]

Willsuckdick4stream

If you're a female, I'll start looking

[petegz28]

Ump seems to be expanding the zone a bit

[BlackHelicopters]

Belly!

[petegz28]

Look at Billay run! Get that boy some o2!!!

[GoHuge]

MoustakAZ now 0-11, but got himself a walk! :rolleyes:

[C3HIEF3S]

There we go, 5-2

[stonedstooge]

Good hustle Belly

[Canofbier]

Cain FTW!

[petegz28]

NOICE....NOICE

[BlackHelicopters]

LoCain!!!!

[stonedstooge]

HAHA. 7-2 Royals

[tk13]

Cain delivers. Nice at bat.

[CaliforniaChief]

Just a great at bat there by Cain.

Patience, good swings, nice contact. Huge at bat.

[C3HIEF3S]

LoCain!

[BeMyValentine]

I have a good feeling about how this is going

[BlackHelicopters]

Esky is worthless at the plate

[Blankey]

That 2-0 pitch to Escobar was a cookie and couldn't do anything with it

[GoHuge]

I have a good feeling about how this is going

Well I would hope.....

[C3HIEF3S]

That should do it for Johnson. Good job offense.

[CaliforniaChief]

Let's knock this clown out. Get to that bullpen.

Thank you.

[BlackHelicopters]

Into the pen

[BlackHelicopters]

Big inning

[CaliforniaChief]

eDave gave me this stream...it's Japanese until the game kicks in. Working well.

All Aoki, all the time.

REP THANK GOD

[petegz28]

Come on now, man. You just got a 5 run lead and you walk the leadoff hitter.

[CaliforniaChief]

Come on now, man. You just got a 5 run lead and you walk the leadoff hitter.

Seriously. :mad:

[C3HIEF3S]

Boom

[CaliforniaChief]

Much better.

[BlackHelicopters]

Nice pitch

[BlackHelicopters]

Probably JGuts last inning

[GoHuge]

Esky is worthless at the plateOh come on Uncle Ned said just the other day that he's not worried about him or Moustakaz. It's early and they'll be fine and back to their normal .230 selves in no time. Well might take a bit....they're a combined 0-22, but they both each have a walk! :clap:

[CaliforniaChief]

Yeah, it's been typical Guthrie. But good enough.

[petegz28]

JFC, Ump....Chicago was getting calls further off the plate than that

[Three7s]

I can feel the bullpen coming.....

[Canofbier]

Damn, Ump.

[BlackHelicopters]

Just through this inning please!

[lewdog]

I'm here, I'm here!

[Three7s]

Tyler Flowers has been killing it so far. 2/2 today.....

[stonedstooge]

I'm here, I'm here!

'Bout time

[lewdog]

'Bout time

Some of us work, chump!

Oh, and west coast time doesn't help.

[BlackHelicopters]

Bases loaded.

[Three7s]

We get out of this unscathed and we probably win.

[petegz28]

Oh great, let's bring in Hererra.....nothing like making this a 1 run game real fast like

[lewdog]

Bases loaded.

Maybe I should leave?

[BlackHelicopters]

I'm here, I'm here!

Welcome

[Canofbier]

Yeah, Hererra had better not leave anything out over the plate. Combine his velocity and Dunn's hitting power and we could have a much closer game by the end of the inning.

NVM, thought bought Dunn was up to bat.

[Canofbier]

JFC, Tigers with 17 hits in their game!

[silver5liter]

Yeah, Hererra had better not leave anything out over the plate. Combine his velocity and Dunn's hitting power and we could have a much closer game by the end of the inning.

dunns on base:hmmm:

[BlackHelicopters]

Dunn?

[petegz28]

Inning should be over, Guts got jobbed by the Ump but then again, he had no business walking the leadoff hitter either

[GoHuge]

Yeah, it's been typical Guthrie. But good enough.

No it's LUCKY enough. Each inning he puts guys on base and has been lucky enough to get out of it. Right now is another typical Guthrie. Loads up the bases and we have to hope we get lucky and get out of it. Ned should have pulled his ass 2 batters ag, but instead sends out Eiland. Lets pray Herrera doesn't go typical Herrera here.

[petegz28]

Great, let's walk in a run then give up the Grand Slam.....

[Canofbier]

dunns on base:hmmm:

Dunn?

Yeah, I guess I heard his name spoken and forgot that he was already on.

[BlackHelicopters]

Shit

[Canofbier]

Fuckin'. Herrera.

[petegz28]

FUCK!

[stonedstooge]

Both walks score. Imagine that

[CaliforniaChief]

Just awful. C'mon guys.

[petegz28]

It's a good thing we left the Lefty in the Pen against the Lefty at the plate

[Three7s]

New ballgame.

[Sure-Oz]

Herrera u fuck

[AndChiefs]

Thanks Herrera.

[lewdog]

My stream went down, WTF happened?

[petegz28]

Both walks score. Imagine that

Yep. Leadoff walks have a tendency to do that. Although the other walk is on the plate Ump and could be argued both runs as well.

[KevB]

But our pen is a strength!

[GoHuge]

Yup that's what happens when you leave Guthrie in when he's done and out of luck....and then bring in Herrera to put out a fire. Predictable is an understatement.

[Three7s]

But our pen is a strength!
It became a weakness the instant Hoch went down.

[stonedstooge]

Good pitch Kelvin

[petegz28]

Well, after the Ump cost us 2 runs he gave is the makeup call...

[DeezNutz]

Thank you for the bullshit call.

[Sure-Oz]

Would've been nice if Guthrie didn't load the fucking bases

[petegz28]

Thank you for the bullshit call.

He owed it to us and I think he knew it.

[petegz28]

Okay, Billay......do something besides hit into a DP

[stonedstooge]

You're due Belly

[petegz28]

Well fuck, that sucked ass

[CaliforniaChief]

Nice slide Billy! LMAO

[petegz28]

Need some clutch action right here

[BlackHelicopters]

Come on guys

[petegz28]

Can Moose get a fucking hit already?

[mr. tegu]

Moose is due.

[BlackHelicopters]

Moose with a chance.

[mr. tegu]

Moose has shown much better plate discipline. Hopefully the hits will follow.

[Bl00dyBizkitz]

Welp.

[BlackHelicopters]

Now what does Dead Head do with the pen?

[petegz28]

He got a hold of that one!

[blake1771]

over/under on games before Moustakas is sent to Omaha?

[chiefsfan987]

Can Moose get a ****ing hit already?

No.

[Canofbier]

How in the fuck does Moose's hitting ability drop SO precipitously as soon as the regular season begins? It doesn't look like he's making good contact at all.

[BigCatDaddy]

I think it's time for Valencia to get some AB 's. Moose has blown chances to make a difference in every game thus far and crapped out.

[BlackHelicopters]

Moose and Esky. 0 fer

[Deberg_1990]

Hud trying to compare Moose to established stars like Joe Maur. ROFL

The difference is Moose hasn't done dick at the MLB level HUD.

[petegz28]

Can the Pen hold a lead???

[GoHuge]

Would've been nice if Guthrie didn't load the ****ing bases

I put those 2 runs on Yost. Everyone knew Guthrie was done and had been barely getting by all game. Let's Guthrie go ahead and load em up and brings in Herrera to put out the fire? We watched Herrera crumble in pressure situations for 3 years now.....that was beyond predictable.

So was Mouse making it 0-12 for the year right there....but Ned says he'll be fine, and like he said.....he's never been wrong on a guy like him.

[lewdog]

Are we going to have to hear how much better Moose is even though he isn't getting hits?

[BlackHelicopters]

Time for Moose to be in Omaha

[petegz28]

Don't challenge that, WTF?

[blake1771]

and Mous backs up his stellar offensive production with a crap throw to first.

[stonedstooge]

I HATE THIS NEW REVIEW BULLSHIT

[petegz28]

Don't challenge that, WTF?

Okay, well...looks out to me

[WhawhaWhat]

Don't challenge that, WTF?

Why wouldn't you?

[petegz28]

TV crew can't show a replay to save their life

[AndChiefs]

Why wouldn't you?

Other teams gets an automatic run if you fail. Didn't you know?

[petegz28]

Why wouldn't you?

I recanted...though I think the Ump's screw us....

[BlackHelicopters]

This challenge thing is ridiculous

[DeezNutz]

Brutal. Slow. Boring.

[DeezNutz]

First time that I've seen a manager lose a challenge thus far. Shocked that it's Yost.

[KCUnited]

Fuck you Moose

[WhawhaWhat]

Getting the call right is a good thing.

[DeezNutz]

Mooseshit has been fucking brutal to start the year.

[Canofbier]

Yeah, they got it right. Hos didn't have that ball under control until after his foot came off. ****in' Moose can't even give us defensive value while he struggles at the plate.

[kcjayhawks5]

Moose poo

[petegz28]

Momentum all starting to go to Chicago quickly

[lewdog]

I personally don't mind blown calls on these types of plays, it makes the games interesting. These long ass reviews are fucking lame.

[BlackHelicopters]

Took too fucking long

[WhawhaWhat]

Took too ****ing long

I'm sure you lost so much production in the 3 minutes you lost.

[lewdog]

Don't blow it Que Bueno.

[stonedstooge]

Uh-Oh. Ned's thinking today

[petegz28]

I think at the beginning of last year every game Moose had an error it cost us 3+ runs that inning. He's on his way to costing us 1-2 right now.

[DeezNutz]

Hate the replay. Should have a 30-second clock on it.

[BlackHelicopters]

Crow. Gasoline meet fire.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Dipshit Ned.

[mr. tegu]

LMAO at people complaining about the time on the replay.

[GoHuge]

How in the **** does Moose's hitting ability drop SO precipitously as soon as the regular season begins? It doesn't look like he's making good contact at all.

It doesn't just look that way.....he's not. 0-12 with a walk and people can stfu with the better plate discipline shit.

Oh and now we get an error on Mouse to bring up Dunn with 2 on....he's just all kinds of helpin out! :shake:

[kcjayhawks5]

Aaron. Fucking. Crow.

[CaliforniaChief]

*shudders*

[lewdog]

Review scoring plays and home runs. The blown calls for the rest of it probably even out and I like the human element in umpires making those calls.

[BlackHelicopters]

Need a strikeout.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Review scoring plays and home runs. The blown calls for the rest of it probably even out and I like the human element in umpires making those calls.

^ This

[DeezNutz]

LMAO at people complaining about the time on the replay.

Why? There's nothing even remotely funny about causing an already methodical game, but in a good way, to come to a grinding halt.

[stonedstooge]

Review scoring plays and home runs. The blown calls for the rest of it probably even out and I like the human element in umpires making those calls.

Amen

[OmahaChief]

Mr inherited runner scored enters the game.

[petegz28]

Wild pitch for a run scored

[chiefsfan987]

I personally don't mind blown calls on these types of plays, it makes the games interesting. These long ass reviews are ****ing lame.

I don't mind them at all. It's not like the NFL where they take forever to get the call. These have all been fairly quick.

[BlackHelicopters]

Garcia helps Crow

[kcjayhawks5]

It doesn't just look that way.....he's not. 0-12 with a walk and people can stfu with the better plate discipline shit.

Oh and now we get an error on Mouse to bring up Dunn with 2 on....he's just all kinds of helpin out! :shake:

So this.

[WhawhaWhat]

The blown calls for the rest of it probably even out and I like the human element in umpires making those calls.

Get the calls right whether that's humans or computers. It's not like it's football or basketball where they review every play in the last couple minutes of the game.

[WhawhaWhat]

I don't mind them at all. It's not like the NFL where they take forever to get the call. These have all been fairly quick.

Good call. :D

[petegz28]

Anyone got the feeling 7 runs isn't going to be enough?

[mr. tegu]

Why? There's nothing even remotely funny about causing an already methodical game, but in a good way, to come to a grinding halt.

The game is ruined.

[Canofbier]

Review scoring plays and home runs. The blown calls for the rest of it probably even out and I like the human element in umpires making those calls.

I don't understand this logic. Whether or not that guy was safe could have an ENORMOUS impact on how the rest of the inning goes, regardless of whether or not the run was scored on that particular play. Getting that call right could easily account for multiple runs.

[BlackHelicopters]

Fuck

[petegz28]

Would liked to have seen that play go to the plate

[DeezNutz]

The game is ruined.

Yes. Let's work in dichotomies.

[GoHuge]

That run was on you Mouse....at least you didn't fuck that routine play up.

[BlackHelicopters]

ChiSox getting closer

[WhawhaWhat]

Good job Crow.

[lewdog]

I don't understand this logic. Whether or not that guy was safe could have an ENORMOUS impact on how the rest of the inning goes, regardless of whether or not the run was scored on that particular play. Getting that call right could easily account for multiple runs.

Sure and that's the human element I'm ok with. Royals get some calls and Royals don't get some calls. Sometimes that runner scores and sometimes it won't.

Get a clear play at the plate wrong, that's a different story and should be reviewed.

[BlackHelicopters]

Next: KYLE DAVIS

[CaliforniaChief]

In all, pleased with Crow. I'd even stick with him another inning. But yeah, Davis is in next.

Can Holland go 2?

Can we score 5 or 6 more runs?

[GoHuge]

Anyone got the feeling 7 runs isn't going to be enough?

Yeah....everyone.

[mr. tegu]

It looks like the same conversation will be held in every game thread in which there is a replay. I hypothesize that the level of complaining will have a positive correlation with whether or not the call works in favor of the Royals.

[Canofbier]

Sure and that's the human element I'm ok with. Royals get some calls and Royals don't get some calls. Sometimes that runner scores and sometimes it won't.

Get a clear play at the plate wrong, that's a different story and should be reviewed.

Well, you're certainly entitled to that opinion.

Personally, it ruins my day when the Royals lose a game on a blown call and winning is joyless to me when it feels illegitimate.

To each their own.

[BlackHelicopters]

We need MOAR runs

[petegz28]

Ump expanding the zone again....

[KCUnited]

Inside the mind of Cuba with Rex Hudler

[BlackHelicopters]

Escobar still worthless

[BlackHelicopters]

Inside the mind of Cuba with Rex Hudler

LMAO

[Canofbier]

Bleh. Esky's best chance at a hit so far comes when he hits it within playable range of three players and hopes that they fuck up.

[GoHuge]

0-12

[KCUnited]

Piug, Abreyu, Cuba Gooding Jr. /Hudler

[lewdog]

I know today doesn't speak to this but having Esky, Aoki and Infante in order anywhere in the lineup is just dumb.

[BlackHelicopters]

Aoki looks good today

[Canofbier]

On the bright side, Aoki is having a great rebound game.

[stonedstooge]

Rusty doesn't speak Japanese?

[WhawhaWhat]

I know today doesn't speak to this but having Esky, Aoki and Infante in order anywhere in the lineup is just dumb.

What is your alternative?

[petegz28]

Offensive power problems continue for this team though. We are going on 3 games without 1 HR.

[lewdog]

What is your alternative?
Someone better in the 2nd spot?

[WhawhaWhat]

Someone better in the 2nd spot?

What number is Someone Better? I don't see him on the depth chart.

[petegz28]

Damn! Good hit to wrong spot.

[BlackHelicopters]

Crunch time

[petegz28]

Perhaps we can try a couple of innings without them scoring? It's only happened 3 innings so far this game.

[CaliforniaChief]

We need a shut down inning here. Badly.

[lewdog]

What number is Someone Better? I don't see him on the depth chart.

Hosmer or Gordon preferably.

[Cephalic Trauma]

Who did Hud just say he wanted to choke out? The fuck? I missed what he was talking about.

[C3HIEF3S]

Come on Wade shut this down

[BlackHelicopters]

This should be fun

[mr. tegu]

Someone better in the 2nd spot?

Someone with a better BA? Better OBP?

[lewdog]

Fucking Wangsta Wade!

[BlackHelicopters]

Shut up Hud

[petegz28]

MOTHER FUCKER!!!!

[DeezNutz]

Be Royal, Dookie.

[BlackHelicopters]

Shit

[stonedstooge]

DAMMIT AOKI!

[KCUnited]

Aoki Betancourt.

[petegz28]

2 HANDS GOD DAMN IT!

[lewdog]

Jesus fucking Christ. Typical Royals shit here.

[GloryDayz]

R U kidding me?

[petegz28]

Someone tell Rex Hererra isn't pitching

[CaliforniaChief]

Can Ned send the translator out to RF with a message?

CATCH THE DAMN BALL

[GoHuge]

I don't know how you say nice play dumb shit in Japanese, but I would if I could.

[lewdog]

Rex has used the wrong name a few times today.

:facepalm:

[petegz28]

WTF are the strikes now? Those have been strikes all game for Chicago

[CaliforniaChief]

BS. That's strike 3.

[CaliforniaChief]

Stay down bitch.

[GloryDayz]

Crowd getting into the Ump... LIKE!

[BlackHelicopters]

Come on Wade

[petegz28]

Problem with Davies here...every 1st pitch is a ball. He has recovered nicely but nonetheless

[GloryDayz]

Keep K'ing them, lord know RF has lard in th glove!

[stonedstooge]

Amazing how hard Davis throws when he's a reliever instead of a starter

[WhawhaWhat]

Davis looking good.

[BlackHelicopters]

Ump is inconsistent

[CaliforniaChief]

Stand up and make some noise.

[stonedstooge]

NIce fucking pitch

[Canofbier]

Davis looking great with four quick outs!

[kstater]

Sit your ass down!

[BlackHelicopters]

On to Holland

[petegz28]

Great pitch. Love how Davis and Perez started walking off before the Ump even called it.

[CaliforniaChief]

Clutch job by Davis. Got 4 outs that inning.

[C3HIEF3S]

Wade is a completely different animal out of the pen.

[lewdog]

CLAP for Davis

[BlackHelicopters]

Wade is a completely different animal out of the pen.

Throw as hard as you can for one inning.

[BlackHelicopters]

CLAP for Davis

Polite golf clap

[C3HIEF3S]

Amazing how hard Davis throws when he's a reliever instead of a starter

Because when you're a reliever you can let it all loose for an inning. As a starter you can't throw like that and expect to go 6 or so innings
But yes you're right it is interesting to see

[BlackHelicopters]

Hud must be stoned

[petegz28]

Okay, Billay....earn some of that #4 spot $

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Belly

[petegz28]

They better bring Dyson is for Butler if he gets on.

[petegz28]

Wow...that wasn't a strike for us, Ump. Not saying it wasn't a strike...just not for us

[BlackHelicopters]

Worthless single

[stonedstooge]

Belly comes through when it doesn't matter

[MVChiefFan]

They better bring Dyson is for Butler if he gets on.

Maybe they should bring Dyson in to hit...

[AndChiefs]

Belly comes through when it doesn't matter

We're only up by two. It matters.

[petegz28]

Damn..was hoping that was going into CF

[BlackHelicopters]

Worthless double

[lewdog]

A single with one out in the 8th in a two run ball game and it doesn't matter?

Come on guys....29 years and counting.

[lewdog]

Noodle arm Flowers.

[GloryDayz]

This pitcher needs to be on Dancing with the Stars...

[stonedstooge]

A single with one out in the 8th in a two run ball game and it doesn't matter?

Come on guys....29 years and counting.

Trying to get myself in midseason form

[BlackHelicopters]

Lousy single scores a big run
