***Official Indians @ Royals GDT 6/10/14***

[C3HIEF3S]

ROAD BACK TO .500: PART X- COMPLETE

[BWillie]

No Kottaras in the line up? Maybe we can trade Billy for him tonight, and Kottaras can DH for us. Dude has 3 homers in 8 ABs already. Maybe we should have kept him to DH?

[BlackHelicopters]

In for more Chisenhall RBI's

[Dartgod]

In for the win!

[Unsmooth-Moment]

S'Go

[siberian khatru]

Kluber rapes us

[petegz28]

Ned so needs to change this lineup. His lineups are always so based on what someone should be doing or did in years past, not what they are doing now.

Should be:

1. Dyson if not Gordon
2. Infante
3. Gordon
4. Perez
5. Cain
6. Escobar
7. Hosmer
8. Butler
9. Moose

[Pepe Silvia]

What's the deal with Brantley against the Royals? I've watched you guys play the Indians a handful of times and that dude just rapes you all by himself.

[lewdog]

I'll be here in a few hours.

[Nickel D]

Got to take these in-division games...jus' got to!!

[TLO]

Let's do it!

[petegz28]

I still can't understand at this point in the season why Yost insists on batting Hosmer and Butler in the 3-4 spots when they have a whopping 3 HR's combined?

Never mind Gordon and Perez have 4 times as many as that between them.

Our best OPS hitters are batting 5,6,7 & 9 instead of 3,4,5,6.

THAT'S BRILLIANT!

[petegz28]

Oh and our 3-4 hitters also lead the team in K's. I so want this team to do awesome and I realize Ned hasn't been given the best in the world to work with but he doesn't have to make it worse by consistently fielding a lineup that is completely against what the statistics say he should field.

[Anyong Bluth]

Hey, leadoff

[lewdog]

Pete, you've met your complaining quota for the night.

I expect rainbows and butterflies from here on out.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

How the hell did Lonnie f n Jizzenhall go for 3 and 9?

[KCCHIEFS27]

How the hell did Lonnie f n Jizzenhall go for 3 and 9?

I believe when DM/NY talk about how Moose can hit..this is what they envision.

[petegz28]

Pete, you've met your complaining quota for the night.

I expect rainbows and butterflies from here on out.

Meh, just really want us to do good over the next 3 series and don't understand the lineups but whatever

[stonedstooge]

Fucking auction night. I would gladly bid on a chance to kick Hud in the nuts

[LoneWolf]

Pete, you've met your complaining quota for the night.

I expect rainbows and butterflies from here on out.

I was going to post something similar, but didn't want to open that can of worms again.

[ChiefsCountry]

There is some cool shit in the auction. Lot of it would look good in my rec room.

[ChiefsCountry]

Man if Salvy can improve his English he has a career in broadcasting waiting for him. Dude is pretty freaking funny.

[Discuss Thrower]

Man if Salvy can improve his English he has a career in broadcasting waiting for him. Dude is pretty freaking funny.

He'll catch his stride in the language department once he spends a few years in the Bronx.

/UncleHud

[C3HIEF3S]

Bottom line is that we must start winning division games.

[Discuss Thrower]

Since no one is paying attention to the Fantasy Baseball thread..

I put in a waiver claim for Asdrubal Cabrera. I'm number 2 in the priority claim, and the guy in front of me might have tanked the season as he was going to give up Jose Bautista for Yordano.

Is it worth taking Cabrera and moving back to the end of the waiver order if I get him or should I roll the dice and just try and pick him up in FA?

[TLO]

There really are some pretty sweet items up for auction. I hope they raise a lot of money tonight.

[Blankey]

Beltran looks like a ghost in that 5 hour energy commericial

Also can we sweep these over-achieving a-holes please?

[lewdog]

Pete messaged me and said we are winning for sure tonight.

[ChiefsCountry]

I see the Indians finally let the PC police get to them, no more Chief Wahoo on their helmets.

[petegz28]

Pete messaged me and said we are winning for sure tonight.

Did your Mama ever tell you where you go when you tell fibs?

[petegz28]

I see the Indians finally let the PC police get to them, no more Chief Wahoo on their helmets.

What about the one on their sleeve?

[lewdog]

Did your Mama ever tell you where you go when you tell fibs?

Purgatory which is fine with me.

[stonedstooge]

What about the one on their sleeve?

Not near the scalp

[petegz28]

Vargas with some good command tonight thus far

[TLO]

Good start for Vargas.

[ChiefsCountry]

What about the one on their sleeve?

Just saw that. Personally I always thought the Chief Wahoo logo on hats was one of baseball best hats.

[petegz28]

Sweet..sit the fuck down

[C3HIEF3S]

I see the Indians finally let the PC police get to them, no more Chief Wahoo on their helmets.

Nope, Chief Wahoo was demoted to their secondary logo. The block C is now their primary logo.

Chief Wahoo is featured on their home primary uniforms and their blue alternate hats now only. Everything else (standard road gray and cream home alternate) is block C.

Sorry for obsessing over uniforms :)

[blake1771]

in regard to the lineup talk earlier a reporter asked Ned, point blank, the other day after the NYY game if he considered moving Cain up in the order.

Ned pretty much snapped at him and said, "No. I like my lineup like it is."

said he wasn't altering the lineup at all.

Dude is an asshole and is fucking clueless.

[TLO]

19 pitch first inning.

Looks like he's got good command so far.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice job Vargas

[C3HIEF3S]

I'll give Chief Wahoo 2 more years before he is gone from the Indians logo arsenal completely.

[petegz28]

pretty high strike there....oh oops...guess I shouldn't have said that

[TLO]

Dyson hitting leadoff doesn't make a whole lot of sesne to me, but whatever.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice AB there

[TLO]

As he gets a base hit. LMAO

[bsroyals54]

dyson leadin off i like it! DONT BE STUPID ON THE BASEPATHS

[lewdog]

pretty high strike there....oh oops...guess I shouldn't have said that

I know this is hard for you but just keep trying.

Thomas the tank engine never gave up either.

[C3HIEF3S]

JFC Infante... come on man.

[SPchief]

Omar needs some time off. And to be pushed down for a few days

[Ceej]

Omar has caught the turd sucking syndrome.

[ChiefsCountry]

I'll give Chief Wahoo 2 more years before he is gone from the Indians logo arsenal completely.

http://fc05.deviantart.net/images/large/indyart/vector/Sad_Panda.jpg

[lewdog]

JFC Infante... come on man.

And he's still in the #2 slot.

I really agree with Pete and all of you. This lineup doesn't make sense anymore.

[TLO]

Kluber throws 7
Vargas throws 19.

[petegz28]

7 fucking pitches? Way to have this team ready to compete, Ned.

[C3HIEF3S]

Don't be afraid to take some pitches now..

[bsroyals54]

WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED LOL, I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY COMP AFTER THE LEADOFF BASE HIT AND THE INNING IS OVER

[TLO]

WHAT THE **** JUST HAPPENED LOL, I TURNED TO LOOK AT MY COMP AFTER THE LEADOFF BASE HIT AND THE INNING IS OVER

Did your caps button get stuck in the process?

[Ceej]

7 ****ing pitches? Way to have this team ready to compete, Ned.

It was half of an inning, jackass.

[C3HIEF3S]

http://fc05.deviantart.net/images/large/indyart/vector/Sad_Panda.jpg

That's just my opinion, but it would not surprise me in the least to see it happen. Especially with the entire Redskins ordeal.


Or else there would be no other reason to go from a mascot that has been the main logo for over 60 years to a block C.

[ChiefsCountry]

Jason "Chris Daughtry" Kendall

[C3HIEF3S]

Jason Kendall!!

[petegz28]

It was half of an inning, jackass.

BFD! Your pitcher just threw 19 pitches. You got the leadoff man on and you get impatient. I am not even so much down on the Infante DP as I am Hosmer up there swinging at the firs thing he saw. 2 outs, pitcher has thrown 6 pitches, TAKE A GOD DAMN PITCH!

[Ceej]

The Royals would go undefeated every year if Captain Pete was head coach.

[Discuss Thrower]

Why is Chris Daughtery talking with Rex and Ryan?

[C3HIEF3S]

I highly doubt that Yost and Sveum are telling to players to be impatient as possible and to swing at as many first pitches as you can.

[petegz28]

And he's still in the #2 slot.

I really agree with Pete and all of you. This lineup doesn't make sense anymore.

I'm not ready yet to move Infante out of the #2 yet......but Hosmer and Butler on the 3,4 spots is the most mind boggling part of it all. Hosmer went up there and did what he has done all season...nothing. He accomplished absolutely nothing with that AB. Didn't work the pitcher, didn't get a hit, didn't swing at a good strike.

[ChiefsCountry]

Why is Chris Daughtery talking with Rex and Ryan?

Cough
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=10682850&postcount=61
Cough

[C3HIEF3S]

The lineup is atrocious for sure

[petegz28]

I highly doubt that Yost and Sveum are telling to players to be impatient as possible and to swing at as many first pitches as you can.

Are they telling them to do that? Of course not. Are they getting the message across to stop doing that? Of course not. Are they even telling them not to do that? Most likely not.

[lewdog]

Will one of you rich fucks buy me something tonight?!

[Ceej]

I would hate to be named Lonnie.

[SPchief]

It was half of an inning, jackass.

As much as I hate to agree with Pete, but it's an alarming trend that's developed. I was talking about it with my FIL last friday. This team thru the first 4 innings don't see very many pitches at all. Then in the 5th when the starters only 55-70 pitches, they start taking more pitches and making the pitcher pitch to them. If you where the bulk of our runs have been being scored the last few weeks it's between the 5-7th innings.

[C3HIEF3S]

There we go.. come on offense

[C3HIEF3S]

Hey Billy

[ChiefsCountry]

The Nolan Ryan jersey would be what I would like to get.

[stonedstooge]

Are they telling them to do that? Of course not. Are they getting the message across to stop doing that? Of course not. Are they even telling them not to do that? Most likely not.

Ned said a couple of weeks ago that the hitting won't improve until the players start listening to him. THEY DON'T LISTEN TO NED

[C3HIEF3S]

I would like to bid to have breakfast with Billy Butler

[petegz28]

How'd that hanging breaking ball for strike 3 look, Billay?

[TambaBerry]

Kluber going to dominate us again

[petegz28]

Ned said a couple of weeks ago that the hitting won't improve until the players start listening to him. THEY DON'T LISTEN TO NED

Ned also said there was a void of leadership.....what a coinkydink. He is the leader and they don't listen to him.

Maybe because no matter how bad Hosmer and Butler do they still get ran out there in the 3-4 spot every game????

[TambaBerry]

I really fucking hate Billy butler mother fucker act like a god damn pro baseball player.

[blake1771]

Kluber going to dominate us again

come on, we scored ONE run last time he pitched against us and we ONLY had 11 strikeouts

[lewdog]

I will say that with good pitching and a shitty offense, at least Royals games are quick. Whether we win or lose.

[KcMizzou]

come on, we scored ONE run last time he pitched against us and we ONLY had 11 strikeoutsAnd we have a hit already.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Pete is crazy...can't wait for his roast :)

[C3HIEF3S]

I feel bad for Alex having to listen to that voice all day

[petegz28]

Pete is crazy...can't wait for his roast :)

Why is I crazy?

[ChiefsCountry]

Wives
J Guts > Gordo

[stonedstooge]

Lotta bleached blonde in that room

[Discuss Thrower]

Wait, players' wives answer the phones?


TIME TO GET CREEPY

[C3HIEF3S]

LoCain....

[ChiefsCountry]

LoCain is becoming a fucking stud.

[lewdog]

Wait, players' wives answer the phones?


TIME TO GET CREEPY

ROFL

[WhawhaWhat]

Throw a pitch assholes.

[petegz28]

heads up play there

[Chiefspants]

Cain is such a badass

[stonedstooge]

PIMP DAWG AGAIN

[petegz28]

whew...Cain almost got ate up on that one. Aoki doesn't make that play

[C3HIEF3S]

Hell of an inning there for LoCain

[C3HIEF3S]

whew...Cain almost got ate up on that one. Aoki doesn't make that play

Good point, no way he catches that one.

[lewdog]

PIMP LIMP!

[petegz28]

Dyson CF\Cain RF > Cain CF\Aoki RF ????

[petegz28]

Good point, no way he catches that one.

Aoki probably doesn't make either of those plays, really

[lewdog]

Aoki probably doesn't make either of those plays, really

Aoki should be manning the hot dog cart.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Wait, players' wives answer the phones?


TIME TO GET CREEPY

Phone sex!

[blake1771]

i know it's beating a dead horse but f******* if we had any offense at all we would be soooo good.

[C3HIEF3S]

Time to go yard!!

[lewdog]

Phone sex!

Better yet, just ask them creepy questions about their husbands favorite things. ...and just keep going with that theme forever.

[petegz28]

Moose doesn't have bad approaches this year, really. Just doesn't do a whole lot when he actually hits the ball.

Good eye....good eye...way to take a walk

[LoneWolf]

Pitching around Moose. You don't want to give him anything to hit.

[ChiefsCountry]

Moose doesn't have bad approaches this year, really. Just doesn't do a whole lot when he actually hits the ball.

Good eye....good eye...way to take a walk

Moose's problem is he can't get singles. Everything else is pretty much normal for him pace wise.

[petegz28]

I think we might be onto something here. If you don't swing at pitches out of the zone, the Ump calls it a ball. 4 balls = walk. Possibly a new strategy.

As the Ump just bailed out Kluber

[C3HIEF3S]

Esky being Esky

[petegz28]

Good hit...I think we just expanded on the not swinging at pitches out of the zone by waiting for a pitch out over the plate and then swinging at that.

[petegz28]

HE IS NOT OUT!

[SPchief]

That's not an out at 2nd

[petegz28]

Never had possession...never had possession...never had possession

[Discuss Thrower]

The fuck

[TambaBerry]

Ridiculous calls against us

[blake1771]

he never had that ball

[Ceej]

He didn't even catch the ball. Lol.

[lewdog]

Clanker!

[LoneWolf]

Should be bases loaded. C'mon you fuckers.

[C3HIEF3S]

No way he had possession

[SPchief]

Not even close. But I don't think it's something you can challenge

[petegz28]

Gruny sitting 1st row

[C3HIEF3S]

That was quick

[Ceej]

That was quick.

[C3HIEF3S]

Come on Infante, break out of this slump

[ChiefsCountry]

Now it will be DP time.

[LoneWolf]

Not even close. But I don't think it's something you can challenge

I think you're wrong.

[Ceej]

That was quick

Oh yeah?

Well, you're quick!

[stonedstooge]

Need you here Omar buddy

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar!!!!

[lewdog]

ROFL

Nice throw!!

[petegz28]

nice job, Infante!

[stonedstooge]

w00t. 1 zip

[Crush]

HOORAY!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer grand salami time

[LoneWolf]

His with the grand salami. You heard it here first.

[petegz28]

okay, Hosmer...nice and easy...ball to the OF

[LoneWolf]

Hosmer grand salami time

I meant second.

[Ceej]

His with the grand salami. You heard it here first.

Negative.

[ChiefsCountry]

Hosmer grand salami time

Double. Home runs are rally killers.

[petegz28]

swinging too hard......

[petegz28]

A walk would be just fine here.....he does have a knack for walking with the bases loaded

[petegz28]

well...lucky break but I'll take it

[SPchief]

Broken bat breaks up the DP

[stonedstooge]

Crap, but scored 1. 2 zip

[lewdog]

Thanks Indians!

[Discuss Thrower]

Hosmer channeling his inner Gordon with the broken bat RBI.

[C3HIEF3S]

Time for Billy to do some damage!!!!!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

Jesus, he split that fucker right down the middle

[C3HIEF3S]

No hope.

[petegz28]

Come on, Butler, that was never a strike

[petegz28]

There ya go, Billay!

[SPchief]

Billay!

[C3HIEF3S]

Yes hope

[stonedstooge]

THAT'LL WORK. BELLY WITH 2 RIBBIES

[lewdog]

Ah heck yes.

[Al Bundy]

Make those assholes pay.

[Ceej]

Woo. Big inning!

[siberian khatru]

That was huge

[Mr. Laz]

Wow ... Butler just got the clutch hit instead of swinging for the fences.

[ChiefsCountry]

Now go bid on some Country Breakfast.

[Crush]

w00t

[C3HIEF3S]

I would love to have breakfast with Billy Butler

[petegz28]

Gordon hitting the ball well...wrong part of the yard but a good swing and good contact

[ChiefsCountry]

Off to watch NBA Finals, keep me posted.

[Discuss Thrower]

Off to watch NBA Finals, keep me posted.

Bitch.

[WhawhaWhat]

Gordon hitting the ball well...wrong part of the yard but a good swing and good contact

Cold wind ate that one up. That ball was hammered.

[C3HIEF3S]

We have a winner, good work Greg.

[SPchief]

Yost has a shit eating grin on his face after that inning. Rbi's from Omar, Hos, and Butler

[Discuss Thrower]

Some Stepford wife shit going on with all these blonde wives.

[Al Bundy]

I would. Both, and Stephanie Moustakas is VERY attractive in person.

[C3HIEF3S]

I bet Ned has a hot wife

[GloryDayz]

Yay us....

[bsroyals54]

I feel bad for Alex having to listen to that voice all day

The joys of being a professional baseball player, you're rarely home lol

[stonedstooge]

I bet Ned has a hot wife

I'd bet she doesn't listen to him either

[Al Bundy]

I'd bet she doesn't listen to him either

REP :clap:

[GloryDayz]

I'd bet she doesn't listen to him either

What?

[C3HIEF3S]

That was close. Same pitch that rung up Billy.

[stonedstooge]

Bourn goes "Damn"

[stonedstooge]

Vargas throwing shutout ball

[GloryDayz]

Nice.... And he almost caught that HBP... Right in the ribs, that hadda hurt!

[siberian khatru]

Vargy

[C3HIEF3S]

Get off of your phone, kid.

[stonedstooge]

OMFG HOSMER UNLOADS

[Crush]

HOSMER!!!

[petegz28]

There yo go, Hosmer! Smooth swing, buddy

[SPchief]

Teh Hos with the rally killer.


Yost has to be beaming right now

[WhawhaWhat]

That ball was smoked and the wind almost took it down like Gordon's earlier.

[C3HIEF3S]

This is exactly like last season.

[bsroyals54]

we are hitting da bawl

[lewdog]

Missed it. But awesome!!!!!!!!

[KCCHIEFS27]

That was great..the boys have all aspects of the game working at the same time tonight. Let's hope they're starting to get hot. Wayyy earlier than they did last year.

[Al Bundy]

Good shit Hos.

[stonedstooge]

HOttest team in the league don't look so Hot

[petegz28]

That was one of Hosmer's best swings of the season. Was aggressive but controlled...not all lanky, long and what not

[C3HIEF3S]

I am still upset about the 7 pitch first inning

[Ceej]

I am still upset about the 7 pitch first inning

I advise that you bitch and moan about it for a bit longer.

[Three7s]

That was one of Hosmer's best swings of the season. Was aggressive but controlled...not all lanky, long and what not
Agreed. He shows that kind of swing every AB and I won't be bashing him at all. That's the guy we thought we had.

[C3HIEF3S]

I advise that you bitch and moan about it for a bit longer.

Sarcasm, man.

[stonedstooge]

WHAT A DOUBLE PLAY

[petegz28]

Vargas..that was fucking great

[C3HIEF3S]

What a snag

[SPchief]

Damn Vargas

[Crush]

Vargasmania is running wild!

[Ceej]

Sarcasm, man.

I know, man.

[C3HIEF3S]

Vargas has been a very nice surprise this year, that's for sure.


His ERA currently sits at 3.07.

[petegz28]

Hmmm...warmer night that ball probably goes

[LoneWolf]

Wasn't there a poster getting all pissy on the first page of this thread because Hosmer and Billy were batting 3rd and 4th?

[petegz28]

Wasn't there a poster getting all pissy on the first page of this thread because Hosmer and Billy were batting 3rd and 4th?

One night....yeah 4 HR's between the 2 of them in mid-June. But you keep on running your mouth.

Oh and BTW, dickwad, I believe there are a few here who agreed with my post. Asshole.

[bsroyals54]

Varg pitchin better than shields still i see

Holy shit dude. Calm the fuck down. You know on CP that if you have a reputation as being a constant complainer in Royals threads and something you complained about ends up being wrong (even if it's just one game), somebody is going to bust your chops about it.

Take a Midol and enjoy the Royals road back to .500. I was just messing with you.

[KCwolf]

Agree 100%

[C3HIEF3S]

Oh shit, I totally forgot.


With a win here tonight The Road Back To .500: Part X will (finally) be complete.

[bsroyals54]

Oh shit, I totally forgot.


With a win here tonight The Road Back To .500: Part X will (finally) be complete.

you forgot to take your midol?

[petegz28]

Varg pitchin better than shields still i see

Petro ran some numbers last year on pitchers that have as many K's as Shields did. There was roughly a 50% chance that he was going to start falling off and Petro kept saying he was going to do just that. Didn't happen as soon as he called it but so far this season, Shields has not been the Shields of last year.

[stonedstooge]

Vagas deals a shutout through 7. WOW

[petegz28]

Vagas deals a shutout through 7. WOW

Wasn't expecting that against the Tribe. But he is dealing tonight.

[SPchief]

Hell of a game Vargas

[C3HIEF3S]

Vargas' ERA is down to 3.03

[ChiefsCountry]

Pen should be nice and rested.

[petegz28]

Couple more runs would be nice so we can let this Donny Joseph or whoever eat some time and give Davis and Holland a needed break.

[Dartgod]

Just checking in.

Billay with a clutch 2 out hit.
Hos with a 2 run HR.
Vargas dealing.

:thumb:

[C3HIEF3S]

Anyone catch his pitch count?

[petegz28]

Anyone catch his pitch count?

high enough to pull him. Has to be mid-upper 90's at least

[SPchief]

Couple more runs would be nice so we can let this Donny Joseph or whoever eat some time and give Davis and Holland a needed break.

We're up 6-0

[Dartgod]

high enough to pull him. Has to be mid-upper 90's at least

He's over 100.

[petegz28]

The CRJ helmet and ball would be so fucking sweet

[petegz28]

We're up 6-0

Yeah but our pen has those nights where they can turn a 6 run lead into a call for Holland rather quickly. Just saying...

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer can do amazing things when he doesn't swing out of his shoes

[Discuss Thrower]

Dyson is so fast.

[C3HIEF3S]

Vargas coming back out it looks like

[ROYC75]

Got back early, I see we are doing well, been keeping track of it on the phone.

Come on boys, Let It Rock !:thumb:

[Dartgod]

Surely Ned's not sending him back out there with 103 pitches?

[petegz28]

Surely Ned's not sending him back out there with 103 pitches?

Ned going to his Trey Hillman moment?

[petegz28]

6-0..why do you not let your scrubs in the pen mop this up?

[C3HIEF3S]

Holy shit Hosmer

[petegz28]

great play by Hosmer there..or maybe not..he never touched the bag. Or did he?

[C3HIEF3S]

Out, what a play.

[Discuss Thrower]

Vargas getting his track star on

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice quick reviews tonight

[ROYC75]

Out, what a play.

Damn nice play!

[gblowfish]

Guess the Tribe kinda shot their wad yesterday in Texas, eh?

[bsroyals54]

assdribble got a hit ;/

[petegz28]

What's the point in leaving Vargas in? So he can waste his arm in a 6-0 game?

[Discuss Thrower]

Doink.
