****Official Royals @ Orioles Gamethread 4/27****

[SPchief]

BGJ on the mound to finish out the road trip.


Lets do this shit!

[BlackHelicopters]

In for continued disappointment.

[TribalElder]

100% pain

[alnorth]

Today's Wager: Will the Royals score more than four?

Yes: +175
No: -225

[SPATCH]

We ain't losing this one.

[BlackHelicopters]

Let's do it!

[stonedstooge]

THIS BETTER BE GOOD

[TLO]

DirecTV is down due to the storm, updates would be great.

[lewdog]

DirecTV is down due to the storm, updates would be great.

0-0

[stonedstooge]

0-0

Still 0-0

[stonedstooge]

HAHA. LEADOFF ERROR for 3

[tk13]

A 3-base error. Don't see that too often.

[lewdog]

Aoki safe on drop by Jones in CF. Aoki got to third!

[TLO]

LMAO Jones...

TV is back on btw. :)

[lewdog]

Great running by Aoki!

[lewdog]

LMAO Jones...

TV is back on btw. :)

Good because I was already tired of updating for you.

Can we score with guy on third with no outs?!

[C3HIEF3S]

All you needed to do there, Omar.


Oh, in!

[tk13]

That works Infante... RBI groundout.

[lewdog]

That'll do.

[BlackHelicopters]

We scored a run!

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Belly

[C3HIEF3S]

Terrible.

[BlackHelicopters]

Looking good Belly

[stonedstooge]

Nice pitches to strikeout on Hos and Belly

[lewdog]

#3-4 hitters getting down in the count early.

[C3HIEF3S]

Both Hosmer and Butler had terrible first AB's.

[petegz28]

hosmer and butler need to both get their heads our of their ass. both had absolutely terrible AB's

[KCUnited]

God awful ab by Butler.

[C3HIEF3S]

Shields needs to lock it down today. We can afford nothing less.

[C3HIEF3S]

I don't think we've won a game in our new royal blue alternates yet..

[BlackHelicopters]

Nice play Omar

[C3HIEF3S]

Nope, 0-4 so far in our new royal blue unis.


Beautiful play, Omar.

[BlackHelicopters]

Lock it down James

[BlackHelicopters]

Esky being Esky

[C3HIEF3S]

Easy inning for James.

[BlackHelicopters]

Clean inning

[stonedstooge]

Good first for Shields

[Fairplay]

nifty play

[BlackHelicopters]

No hitter intact

[lewdog]

Easy inning for James.

Jesus Christ, you're ahead of me again by about 30 seconds. How does this happen?

[BlackHelicopters]

Pitching around Gordon

[C3HIEF3S]

Jesus Christ, you're ahead of me again by about 30 seconds. How does this happen?

****.
And you're on the stream where you can adjust your quality or whatever?

Did you download nexdef?

[BlackHelicopters]

Salvy!

[lewdog]

****.
And you're on the stream where you can adjust your quality or whatever?

Did you download nexdef?

Yea I'm on the old stream like you suggested. The new stream never works for my anyway. And I adjust the quality lower so it never buffers. Still behind though! :cuss:

[C3HIEF3S]

****.
And you're on the stream where you can adjust your quality or whatever?

Did you download nexdef?

Nexdef will put you behind, I believe.. if you have it downloaded.

[lewdog]

Nexdef will put you behind, I believe.. if you have it downloaded.

Is Nexdef the new system though? I'm on last years.

[blake1771]

if we doing anything well at all it's hitting into double plays.

[C3HIEF3S]

Is Nexdef the new system though? I'm on last years.

No, the player that features nexdef is last years. The one that says "no plugin required" is this years.

This years is behind for some reason, same if you have last years with nexdef installed.

[lewdog]

No, the player that features nexdef is last years. The one that says "no plugin required" is this years.

This years is behind for some reason, same if you have last years with nexdef installed.

But how can I run last years without nexdef installed?

[lewdog]

if we doing anything well at all it's hitting into double plays.

I bet Ned's been teaching that.

[C3HIEF3S]

But how can I run last years without nexdef installed?

It doesn't require it, only to use the "dvr" functions, like pausing and rewinding.

[lewdog]

It doesn't require it, only to use the "dvr" functions, like pausing and rewinding.

AH, sometimes I have to pause it though so I best keep it. I'll just stop refreshing this thread as much during the game. :D

[C3HIEF3S]

Shields has A+ pitch command today.

[C3HIEF3S]

Infante is having himself a game on defense.

[lewdog]

Infante has been the most consistent player all-around this year. It isn't saying much but still.

[tk13]

Dyson steals 2nd on a pitch out.

[Fairplay]

Nifty play

[lewdog]

Scoring position and no outs.

UGGGGhhhhhhhh

[Fairplay]

Can anyone tell me why we let Lough go?

He's perfect for Kauffman stadium.

[lewdog]

Can anyone tell me why we let Lough go?

He's perfect for Kauffman stadium.

I'd rather have him then Dyson but call me crazy.

[stonedstooge]

2 zip

[tk13]

Infante delivers again. Has 2 RBI without a hit.

[lewdog]

Thanks Omar.

[Fairplay]

I'd rather have him then Dyson but call me crazy.



Me as well I was really bummed when the Royals let him go.

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar doing his job today, beautiful.

[lewdog]

Me as well I was really bummed when the Royals let him go.

It was one or the other but not sure how they chose Dyson?

[tk13]

It was one or the other but not sure how they chose Dyson?

Maybe that's who the Orioles wanted... simple as that.

[stonedstooge]

It was one or the other but not sure how they chose Dyson?

Lough batting under .200 would fit right in

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[GloryDayz]

Tough play...

[Fairplay]

The sky is really high/Hud

[lewdog]

Lough batting under .200 would fit right in

He hit .286 with 5 homers last year.

Better than punchless Dyson and his below average defensive skills in center.

[Fairplay]

He hit .286 with 5 homers last year.

Better than punchless Dyson and his below average defensive skills in center.


That must have been the deciding factor too many home runs they kill rally's.

[BlackHelicopters]

James dealing

[tk13]

You guys realize they traded Lough for Valencia right? It's not like they outright cut him. Valencia has more power than Lough, and had a good year at the plate last year.

[petegz28]

Butler grounds out to SS....dude has to be on the path to break some record for doing that

[lewdog]

You guys realize they traded Lough for Valencia right? It's not like they outright cut him. Valencia has more power than Lough, and had a good year at the plate last year.

Yea I realize that and it's probably who the O's wanted. Which would make sense because he's better than Dyson.

[BlackHelicopters]

Fat Belly grounds to SS. Shocking

[ChiTown]

You guys realize they traded Lough for Valencia right? It's not like they outright cut him. Valencia has more power than Lough, and had a good year at the plate last year.

Agreed.Not only that, but we are talking about David Lough. Who gives a shit?

[Fairplay]

You guys realize they traded Lough for Valencia right? It's not like they outright cut him. Valencia has more power than Lough, and had a good year at the plate last year.


I didn't know the reason they let him go or the trade was why I initially asked, TK if you say it was a good trade I will take your word for it.

[BlackHelicopters]

James knows he cannot allow any runs.

[lewdog]

Agreed.Not only that, but we are talking about David Lough. Who gives a shit?

Well I agree, it really doesn't make much difference. Unless you realize that Cain probably won't play all year and I hate seeing Dyson play every day. Surprised Maxwell hasn't gotten more playing time.

[tk13]

I didn't know the reason they let him go or the trade was why I initially asked, TK if you say it was a good trade I will take your word for it.

I don't know if it'll work out in the end... but it just seemed like we were talking as if they cut him like they did Bonifacio, which looked like a bad move. They got something back for Lough.

[ChiTown]

James knows he cannot allow any runs.

I don't think he can allow more than 3 max. I think we are good for at least 1 maybe 2 more runs

[BlackHelicopters]

Shutup Hud

[tk13]

Got Perez out of the 4 spot and now he's hitting again.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice to see Salvy getting his swing back.

[BlackHelicopters]

Mouse pops up. Shocking

[Fairplay]

They look like cheap gangsters

[ChiTown]

Got Perez out of the 4 spot and now he's hitting again.

I was a big proponent of moving him to cleanup. Obviously, he's more comfy in the 6 hole

[Al Bundy]

Gordon doing nothing.

[BlackHelicopters]

Lead off walk.

[Fairplay]

Nooooooooo

[ChiTown]

Fuck

[C3HIEF3S]

I feel bad for Escobar.

[lewdog]

Dude, come on James. Settle down.

[tk13]

Our fielding by the pitchers has not been very good.

[Al Bundy]

Hmm another pitcher error. QUIT FUCKING FIELDING THE GOD DAMN BALL YOU FUCKWADS

[BlackHelicopters]

Another error

[C3HIEF3S]

What a fucking bad ass.

[BlackHelicopters]

DP nice

[Fairplay]

Whew

[lewdog]

Jesus, thank God middle infield!

[BlackHelicopters]

Shields dealing again.

[gblowfish]

Billay, Moose and Hoz are weak pussy men.

[C3HIEF3S]

Esky doing what Esky does.

[lewdog]

Starting another inning off with lead off man on base with no outs.

[C3HIEF3S]

Oh yeah, we're currently on The Road Back To .500: Part VI

[C3HIEF3S]

lol

[Fairplay]

lol

[stonedstooge]

HAHA

[Fairplay]

They should've had him

[lewdog]

ROFL

They royaled that!

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice Aoki

[stonedstooge]

How about a hit instead of a sacrifice

[lewdog]

How about a hit instead of a sacrifice

Sacrifice, it's all about the team!

[Fairplay]

Fuck yeah!!!!!

[tk13]

Infante doing all the damage. Infante 4, Orioles 0.

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar Infante is the best all-around player on this team.

[stonedstooge]

How about a hit instead of a sacrifice

Thank you. Thank you very much

[lewdog]

Omar Infante is the best all-around player on this team.

Q

[ChiTown]

Omar Infante is the best all-around player on this team.

This. Dude is just doing it

[C3HIEF3S]

I'll give DM credit where it is due, that Infante pickup over the winter has turned out to be amazing for us.

[stonedstooge]

CRAP

[ChiTown]

Shit! His just missed a jack. Damn

[lewdog]

Good swing.

[Fairplay]

Hosmer wanted that one oh well advance the runner.

[C3HIEF3S]

Almost Hos.

[Fairplay]

Worthless up to bat

[Great Expectations]

We have reached the magical 4 runs scored.

[ChiTown]

Billay. He's fun to watch .....eat

[blake1771]

Belly's at-bats just continue to look awful. Moose is obviously sucking but he does at least typically give a good plate appearance. Hell, even Dyson's at-bats look more professional right now than Butler's.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Infante is awesome.

[Strongside]

Gotta love what Infante is doing right now. Leading MLB 2nd Basemen in RBI.

[ArrowheadHawk]

I like this Sunday much better than last Sunday.

[petegz28]

Billay. He's fun to watch .....eat

ROFL

[petegz28]

well, that sucks

[stonedstooge]

DAMMIT SHIELDS

[GloryDayz]

So, you're allowed to hit it over the wall?

Well I think they should make him pay for the ball!

[GloryDayz]

So, you're allowed to hit it over the wall?

Well I think they should make him pay for the ball!

[Fairplay]

I'm seeing double that isn't good

[Fairplay]

And that's why you run like your life depended on it to first.

[stonedstooge]

JEEBUS INFANTE

[tk13]

Infante 6, Orioles 2

[Fairplay]

Infante kicks ass!

[ChiTown]

Fuck yeah!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Wow.

[petegz28]

Infante saying...."Fuck all ya'll soft bitches, I got this shit!"

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

He's good.

[KCwolf]

Holy Infante

[GloryDayz]

Yay!

[ChiTown]

MOAR HOS POWER!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Omar Infante is better than Chris Getz.

[Fairplay]

That hit to his chin earlier this year has not fazed Infante.

[stonedstooge]

Belly close to dropping below .200

[GloryDayz]

3rd out!!!!!!!!

[GloryDayz]

Fatty hating life!

[Strongside]

Time for Billy Outler.

[GloryDayz]

Fatty working up a sweat!

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar Infante is quickly becoming one of my favorite players on this team.

[petegz28]

Billy still fouling back pitches he should be pounding

[GloryDayz]

WOW.. Fatty hits the ball...

[ChiTown]

MOAR BILLAY POWER!

[Fairplay]

Billy actually got a hit miracles can happen children

[stonedstooge]

Way to whack it Gordon

[ChiTown]

And BOOM goes the dynamite!

[GloryDayz]

Nice hit Gordon.

Way to not make an out Fatty!

[TambaBerry]

Billy scores from 1st without dying what?

[KCwolf]

TWO OUT MAGIC!!

[C3HIEF3S]

So Billy Butler just scored from first base.

Even with 2 outs that's got to count for something LMAO
Nice job Gordo

[Fairplay]

Good hitting days for the Royals, glad for Infante and Shields is happy.

[Nightfyre]

I think they should not send shields back out. He was really struggling the last couple innings. He could use a short day. We have arms in the pen and a day off tomorrow.

[stonedstooge]

Don't want to hurt his feelings/Ned

[lewdog]

Holy shit Moose. Straighten that out!

[Simplicity]

Looked at the scoring summary because I was out for most of this, I see alot of OMAR INFANTE this and Omar Infante that, he have a great day or what?! Love that pickup.

[lewdog]

Fuck Omar, how was Prom?!

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice inning Shields

[stonedstooge]

Gawd I hope they don't run that stupid fucking AT&T stupid fucking commercial all year

[MotherfuckerJones]

Good to see you pounding the Os. Abreu just hit his 10th Homer today.

[tk13]

Holy crap Lough.

[kcjayhawks5]

Hell of a play by lough

[lewdog]

Sick catch!

[blake1771]

damn that was a hulluva catch

[Simplicity]

**** Omar, how was Prom?!

Great, tired as fuck though! But fuck it, still goin hunting for some gobblers in about 2 hours.

[BWillie]

Would have been a sure triple for Dyson

[lewdog]

Great, tired as **** though! But **** it, still goin hunting for some gobblers in about 2 hours.

Ah to be young, dumb and full of cum again.

Sigh................

[Captain Obvious]

Omar comin'.

[petegz28]

Escobar is a pitcher now???

[Pepe Silvia]

Congrats

[SCTrojan]

Omar Infante is quickly becoming one of my favorite players on this team.

He's no Chris Getz (Dayton)

[Simplicity]

Bearcat put me back in the green again, thanks guys for helping too!!!! :)

[MotherfuckerJones]

Is moose coming around?

[chiefsfan987]

Nice to see the offense have some success even if it is only just for a day.

[Sure-Oz]

Why is Holland in...

[GloryDayz]

Yay!

[chiefsfan987]

Why is Holland in...

He hasn't pitched much lately and we have a day off tomorrow.

[C3HIEF3S]

Royals win!

[Deberg_1990]

Royals win!
Completing the Road Back To .500: Part VI

It will be this way the entire year.

They are not horrible, but nothing truly special either.

[TLO]

I fall asleep when the Royals are winning 1-0. Wake up, and they've won 9-2. I may need to take naps during the game more often! :)

[TLO]

It will be this way the entire year.

They are not horrible, but nothing truly special either.

I'll take it over being 10 games under .500 and out of the division race by the end of April.

[C3HIEF3S]

I'll take it over being 10 games under .500 and out of the division race by the end of April.

As long as we don't have a month like May of last season things will be very interesting in September.

[Deberg_1990]

As long as we don't have a month like May of last season things will be very interesting in September.

If they would have just went .500 last May, they would have made the playoffs.

[Anyong Bluth]

It will be this way the entire year.

They are not horrible, but nothing truly special either.

It's a give take. The offense has to wake up at some point, I think. But, can you expect the pitching to keep up with their production. Chen really looking like he has no business at the 5 spot.

[Nzoner]

As long as we don't have a month like May of last season things will be very interesting in September.

Especially if Yost is still the manager :D

[BlackHelicopters]

If they would have just went .500 last May, they would have made the playoffs.

8-20 last May. 14-14 puts us in the playoffs.

[Anyong Bluth]

As long as we don't have a month like May of last season things will be very interesting in September.







If they would have just went .500 last May, they would have made the playoffs.

Don't remind me. Seriously maddening down the stretch.

[TLO]

I wanted Duffy to take his spot more than anything else. But after last night....:shake:

Is it too soon to call on Zimmer?

[Sure-Oz]

He hasn't pitched much lately and we have a day off tomorrow.

My problem is what do you not bring him in last night when he was needed but in a 7 run game. Yosts thinking is a joke

[C3HIEF3S]

I wanted Duffy to take his spot more than anything else. But after last night....:shake:

Is it too soon to call on Zimmer?

Has Zimmer even started throwing yet?

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Why is Holland in...

Ned really wants to win this one.

[CoMoChief]

As long as we don't have a month like May of last season things will be very interesting in September.

That's considering they go on a tear after the ASB like they did last season.

Don't know if they're able to produce the same kind of results. This is a very inconsistent team w/ Ned Yost as their manager. I don't expect the Royals to go 7-3 or 8-2 in very many 10 game stretches this season.

This is a .500 or maybe just a little better, kind of team. This team leaves way too many runners in scoring position to make me think we're going to end up 20+ games over .500 just because of not having the same kind of May like KC did last season.

[Anyong Bluth]

Has Zimmer even started throwing yet?

I believe he was going to start throwing around the end of the first week of April last I saw.

[C3HIEF3S]

Why aren't they capable of going on a tear at some point this season?
They did it last year with pretty much the same team and yes, if I recall correctly Ned Yost was the manager.
What is preventing a run this year that didn't prevent one last year? And don't tell me Ned Yost as that was proven irrelevant during the second half of last year.

[Anyong Bluth]

I firmly believe that the bats will heat up - how long that takes may very well determine our post season sadly.

[siberian khatru]

Ned really wants to win this one.

:clap:

[mlyonsd]

Thanks for taking the series from my O's you magnificent bastards. I think your bats worked quite well today.

[CoMoChief]

What is preventing a year this year that didn't prevent one last year? And don't tell me Ned Yost as that was proven irrelevant during the second half of last year.

I'm not saying they're not capable. I just don't think they will. They had the best record in baseball last year for the 2nd half of the season. This team's too inconsistent offensively, I have almost no doubt that we lead the majors in RLISP, hell we may even break some records on that front if the Royals continue doing what they're currently doing - which is not moving runners.

And we all know Ned Yost personally is responsible for at least 10 losses/year.

[GloryDayz]

Being the 27th of April, the truck load of 5-Hour Energy should be arriving on the docks at the K and every player needs to drink 2-3 per game (with everybody drinking the first one 31 minutes befor the first pitch) through the month of May.

Fuck it, look for the chemical advantage too!

That shit works too. I don't know what's in it, but god damn. Used to drink one before every one of my hockey games.. probably wouldn't help the Royals approach at the plate much LMAO

[GloryDayz]

OK, make it a cocktail. They can make well thought-out decisions really quickly...

So add this with each shot!

I don't think a couple of poor throws on bunts should keep a guy out of the rotation if he deserves to be there.

[lewdog]

Does Ned get credit for the win today since he seems to influence this team SOOOOO much?

[Anyong Bluth]

Does Ned get credit for the win today since he seems to influence this team SOOOOO much?

He's almost as productive at the plate as Butler. :mad:
