Hastily Made Royals vs Tigers (7/10) Game Day Thread

[TLO]

Same mojo as last night.

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Need this series. Lets get 3 or 4.

[Discuss Thrower]

Beat that puppy till it screams

[Kansas City Kid]

Let's sweep these bastards!

[Three7s]

Beat that kitty till it screams
Fixed.

[BlackHelicopters]

In for the win

[gblowfish]

Fixed.

[Strongside]

WE NEED DA SWEEP NUCKAS.

[C3HIEF3S]

I'll take the split, but it would be nice to gain a little bit of ground with this series

[C3HIEF3S]

I'm riding the Sal mojo

[TLO]

Guthrie against this lineup scares me a little...

[cabletech94]

let's do this.

gooooooooo royals!!!!!!!!!!

[TLO]

LET'S GRAB SOME PISSWATER AND DRINK FOR THE USA!

YEAH WE'RE GONNA KEEP THEM ILLEGALS OUT, GUNS AND PISSWATER, THAT'S WHAT A PARTY IS ALL ABOUT!

[BWillie]

Fun times in Cleve...I mean Detroit today! DEEEE TROIT!

[stonedstooge]

Welp, there goes the no-hitter

[GloryDayz]

OUCH!

[stonedstooge]

Welp, there goes the shutout

[GloryDayz]

JG forget to take warm-ups?

LOL, I messed that up!

[petegz28]

WTF, 9 pitches in and we are already losing?

[petegz28]

Guthrie trying to lose it before we even get a chance to bat, I see

[GloryDayz]

OK, back to the news!

[Anyong Bluth]

Wait a minute! These assholes are totally copying us by implementing the "Death by Singles" offensive strategy...

[Al Bundy]

When some of our young pitchers are ready to come up Guthrie is the first that needs to be DFA'd.

[petegz28]

18 pitches, 3 runs..thanks, Guthrie...it's not like your season could be riding on this series or anything

[petegz28]

20 pitches and 3 runs later, we get to take our turn at hitting

[bsroyals54]

they made that look easy, just another day for them

[petegz28]

How much you wanna bet we are retired 1-2-3 in under 12 pitches?

[ChiTown]

F me. This Team......

I just turned it on to see us down 3-0. I'd bet Smyly doesn't let more than 1 cross the plate over 7+ Innings. This looks like a lynching. I'm out.

[TLO]

I go to eat dinner and this happens?? You bastards.

[lewdog]

This team sucks. I'm out.

[TLO]

Come on now, no need to give up yet.

Or should we call it? Season over? :hmmm:

[petegz28]

How much you wanna bet we are retired 1-2-3 in under 12 pitches?

Okay, well...I don't mind being wrong here...

[Anyong Bluth]

man, we have got some hasty flip flopping fans around here...

[petegz28]

Come on now, no need to give up yet.

Or should we call it? Season over? :hmmm:

4 games back to this team, our house and we start off spotting them 3 runs? We don't split this series at the least our season is over

[lewdog]

Come on now, no need to give up yet.

Or should we call it? Season over? :hmmm:

I'm channeling my inner bsroyals tonight.

Ned's pep talked must have really sucked ass tonight!!!

[TLO]

SEASON'S OVER

[TLO]

Infante is gonna strike out. Season's over.

[tmw4h5]

Hey guys, did I miss the season?!

[bsroyals54]

Guthrie is going to strike out the side you watch

[petegz28]

Guthrie is going to strike out the side you watch

I can believe it. It's just the runs he will allow between strikeouts that's the problem

[bsroyals54]

Not if the ump doesnt give him strikes though,

[KCwolf]

man, we have got some hasty flip flopping fans around here...

It's a Kansas City Tradition

[TLO]

I'm done going full confused/billay for the night. Let's get back in this game.

[ChiTown]

Why the F is Ibanez in the lineup?

[TLO]

Why the F is Ibanez in the lineup?

Good question.

[bsroyals54]

Dyson sucks

[petegz28]

Good thing Dyson can't hit left handed pitching

[petegz28]

Dyson sucks

Good call

[petegz28]

Why the F is Ibanez in the lineup?

Gordon is hurted

[TLO]

I'm liking Dyson more and more each day.

[bsroyals54]

Dyson sucks, slow runner

[petegz28]

I mean look at this Dyson guy...getting hits with RISP, stealing bases.....I can see why Ned goes to great lengths to keep him on the bench

[ChiTown]

F! Cain piss pounded that ball

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Why the F is Ibanez in the lineup?

Ummmm . . . . because Gordon is out?

Who else should play LF? :shrug:

[-King-]

Dyson as a hitter > Billy as a hitter

[petegz28]

Cain gave it a ride but to the wrong part of the park

[TLO]

Gordon is hurted

That was going to be my answer as well. But the more I thought about it... there's no excuse for playing a 63 year old player who is batting .140 something everyday. Ibanez is done.

[bsroyals54]

Dyson as a hitter > Billy as a hitter

I'm a better hitter than fatass

[stonedstooge]

Got 1 back. Let's hold them now

[TLO]

Ummmm . . . . because Gordon is out?

Who else should play LF? :shrug:

I'd rather watch Eibner and his .230 average down in AAA play LF at this pont.

[petegz28]

That was going to be my answer as well. But the more I thought about it... there's no excuse for playing a 63 year old player who is batting .140 something everyday. Ibanez is done.

Who else you gonna play? I mean Cain and Dyson are fast but they can't play the entire OF by themselves

[ChiTown]

Ummmm . . . . because Gordon is out?

Who else should play LF? :shrug:

My point is, why the F is Ibanez even on this team? It's stupid to think this guy can do anything more than pinch hit. He isn't an everyday player - Not even close

[PHOG]

I'm a better hitter than fatass

Sure u are...ROFL

[petegz28]

We get a run and Guthrie immediately walks the leadoff hitter on 4 pitches

[stonedstooge]

My point is, why the F is Ibanez even on this team? It's stupid to think this guy can do anything more than pinch hit. He isn't an everyday player - Not even close

HE'S GOT PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE AND NED AND HUD JUST LOVE THAT

[TLO]

My point is, why the F is Ibanez even on this team? It's stupid to think this guy can do anything more than pinch hit. He isn't an everyday player - Not even close

I don't even want him as a PH at this point. He should probably just retire.

[petegz28]

My point is, why the F is Ibanez even on this team? It's stupid to think this guy can do anything more than pinch hit. He isn't an everyday player - Not even close

I agree with not being an everyday...that being sad since he has joined the Royals he has half as many HR's and Butler........that's just sad all the way around

[PHOG]

HE'S GOT PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE AND NED AND HUD JUST LOVE THAT
No shit..

[bsroyals54]

Sure u are...ROFL

What makes you so sure that I'm not? Because I'm not in the major leagues?

[TLO]

Aoki > Ibanez

[petegz28]

God damn, Guthrie.....don't like try and keep us in the game or anything

[GloryDayz]

Mey, hit fat!!!

[ChiTown]

HE'S GOT PLAYOFF EXPERIENCE AND NED AND HUD JUST LOVE THAT

Heh. I can assure you we ain't making the playoffs if he keeps appearing in the starting lineup.

[TLO]

What makes you so sure that I'm not? Because I'm not in the major leagues?

Oh good lord. :facepalm: LMAO

[petegz28]

Calling it now....5-1 by the end of this inning if not worse

[PHOG]

What makes you so sure that I'm not? Because I'm not in the major leagues?
Tell Ned not me....:hmmm:

[TLO]

Mey, hit fat!!!

Amen.

[bsroyals54]

Oh good lord. :facepalm: LMAO

Wana pitch to me sometime BigSmoke, so I can LMAO too?

[petegz28]

OMG, Valencia....you had the triple play, FFS!!!! :facepalm:

[GloryDayz]

Why not tag him and go to first?

[ChiTown]

BOOOOOOOYAH!

[PHOG]

Calling it now....5-1 by the end of this inning if not worse
5-1 myass

[GloryDayz]

Nice...

[petegz28]

Why not tag him and go to first?

With all the slow, creaky knees they had on base he could have tagged him, went to 2nd and still got Hunter at 1st. It was a tailor made triple play but whatever....

[TLO]

Calling it now....5-1 by the end of this inning if not worse

Guthrie says suck my 14 inch johnson.

[petegz28]

5-1 myass

I've been in reverse mojo for the last few innings....stop fucking with me

[PHOG]

I've been in reverse mojo for the last few innings....stop ****ing with me
Ohh, ok :hmmm: I didn't know I was?

[suzzer99]

SHHHH everyone! An old man is talking!

[bsroyals54]

SHHHH everyone! An old man is talking!

I enjoy things I can remember!

[stonedstooge]

SHHHH everyone! An old man is talking!

I thought Andy Rooney was dead

[SPchief]

If you aren't following TheFakeNed on twitter, you need to be. He's absolutely rolling tonight.

[ChiTown]

I thought Andy Rooney was dead

ROFL

[PHOG]

ROFL

So, twitter? :hmmm:

[ChiTown]

So, twitter? :hmmm:

Wat?

[TLO]

So, twitter? :hmmm:

Wat?

:hmmm:

[Anyong Bluth]

Jesus, back off the mic, Art. Every time he pronounces a word with "s" in it he makes a GD high pitch whistling sound!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

My point is, why the F is Ibanez even on this team? It's stupid to think this guy can do anything more than pinch hit. He isn't an everyday player - Not even close

Understood, but the Gordon thing was unexpected. Either Gordon or Aoki should be back soon enough and will be plugged back in.

I agree that Ibanez should only be a PH, part time DH for this team and should, if at all possible, not be playing in the outfield.

[ChiTown]

Jesus, back off the mic, Art. Every time he pronounces a word with "s" in it he makes a GD high pitch whistling sound!

LMFAO! I was thinking the same thing. Pretty annoying and funny at the same time

[TLO]

Jesus, back off the mic, Art. Every time he pronounces a word with "s" in it he makes a GD high pitch whistling sound!

Samuel Deduno.

[Anyong Bluth]

Salvy's bobblehead is in the classic dropping a deuce position

[petegz28]

Come on, Guthrie....get your fucking head out of your ass

[ChiTown]

ROFL @ J Guts. Jesus.....

[Anyong Bluth]

If you aren't following TheFakeNed on twitter, you need to be. He's absolutely rolling tonight.

Is the TheFakeNed the real FakeDanBeebe?

[SPchief]

Is the TheFakeNed the real FakeDanBeebe?

I have no idea. I doubt it, I think he's from Texas. TheFakeNed is a local guy named Chris

[TLO]

:facepalm:

[TLO]

I have no idea. I doubt it, I think he's from Texas. TheFakeNed is a local guy named Chris

Superfan Chris? :hmmm:

[Al Bundy]

Jeeez, good job here Guthrie, you turd.

[SPchief]

Superfan Chris? :hmmm:

No

[TLO]

This has disaster written all over it.

40lb box of rape

[petegz28]

:facepalm: We aren't going to win this game tonight. Guthrie will see to that

[petegz28]

Gonna call it again...5-1 by end of the inning if not worse

[TLO]

[petegz28]

So the runner who never put the ball in play scores.....again

[GloryDayz]

So THAT'S how you do one of them-there Sac Flies!!!!

[suzzer99]

What is this sacrifice fly thingie?

[GloryDayz]

Me thinkst JG doesn't have it tonight..

[petegz28]

Gonna walk the bases loaded for the 2nd time this inning.....

[TLO]

Goodnight folks

[New World Order]

Dagger to the chest

[Al Bundy]

Me thinkst JG doesn't have it tonight..

He came in a plan... a plan not to win.

[Mr. Laz]

gigantic pile of dog shit

[petegz28]

and that's your ballgame....Guthrie couldn't get past 3 2/3 without choking it away

[GloryDayz]

I wonder if any broadcaster, ANYWHERE, ever said "this is a hard lineup to pitch to" about the Royals. Well, instead of, "the pitchers will take an all-expanses-paid vacation to Mexico while the Royals are in town as the AAA pitchers are called up"!!!

[Ceej]

Smart pitch for a 3-1 count.

Idiot dick.

[petegz28]

JFC, just think about that..this inning...2 walks and a hit batter, all score...2 walks and a hit batter.........2 ****ing walks and a ****ing hit ****ing batter

[Ceej]

Dear God, please let us split some how, some way.

[TLO]

Alright. Lot of time left. Trying to stay positive.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Way to step up tonight, JGuts! We really needed a performance like this.

Not only are you gonna lose this game for us, your gonna burn our bullpen up in the first game of a 4 games series.


Thanks, dick.

[petegz28]

look at that shit...6 runs on 6 hits for Detroit and no HR's. And why? 3 walks, 2 hit batters and a bunch of bad pitching.

[ChiTown]

Guthrie is awful

[SPchief]

Whoa

[New World Order]

Well, there we go

[stonedstooge]

MY GAWD BELLY CLUBBED ONE

[WhawhaWhat]

That was a bomb.

[gblowfish]

Hey, Fat Boy actually managed to get one out!

[petegz28]

Naturally Butler goes yard when we're down by 5

[TLO]

That was a shot.

[Sfeihc]

I know you guys have a strong dislike for Billy but he absolutely rakes against the Tigers.

[GloryDayz]

LOL, baseball's version of the garbage-time TD.... Fatty goes yard, 6-2...

[New World Order]

Naturally Butler goes yard when we're down by 5


Reminds me of a Casshole td in garbage time.

[TLO]

LOL, baseball's version of the garbage-time TD.... Fatty goes yard, 6-2...

Bottom of the 4th does not = garbage time.

[stonedstooge]

"I think I've earned a little snack"-Belly heads to the locker room

[PHOG]

Nice shot Belly, it wasn't your fault noone was on!

[stonedstooge]

AND Guthrie gives it right back

[Sfeihc]

Torii says I see you Billy

[KCCHIEFS27]

I knew Billy Butler would tear the cover off of the ball since I just picked him up on my fantasy team.

[New World Order]

Don't fuck up the bullpen, just let Guth ride it out.

[PHOG]

"I think I've earned a little snack"-Belly heads to the locker room

:clap: Somehow that's wrong

[New World Order]

God damn it Yost. Its too fucking early!

[Sfeihc]

I knew Billy Butler would tear the cover off of the ball since I just picked him up on my fantasy team.

Good for you! I can't mix business with pleasure. No Tigers on my fantasy team.:D Last year I had to break my rule in fantasy football because I had the 3rd pick and those clowns didn't take Jamaal. Hello league title!

[petegz28]

JFC, I turn for 2 seconds and Guthrie gave up another run????

[PHOG]

Good for you! I can't mix business with pleasure. No Tigers on my fantasy team.:D Last year I had to break my rule in fantasy football because I had the 3rd pick and those clowns didn't take Jamaal. Hello league title!
Wut

[Sfeihc]

Wut

I like the Tigers and CHIEFS.

[petegz28]

I don't see what the point of pulling Guthrie was? I'd make him wear this shit....what a piece of fuck performance

[PHOG]

I like the Tigers and CHIEFS.
Rust and KC? Why don't you start a thread, Detroit Tigers....ifn not

[stonedstooge]

They're getting ready to bitch slap us a few times

[Sfeihc]

Does anyone else think JD Martinez and this kid look like they could be father and son?

[ChiTown]

Raped.

[New World Order]

Are there any true Royals fans? I wonder what they would say about this game.

[Three7s]

This game was over after the 1st inning.

[Why Not?]

This game was over when Jeremy Guthrie took the mound

FYP

[PHOG]

Are there any true Royals fans? I wonder what they would say about this game.
Get them tomorrow?/Yost

[petegz28]

Royals know they can put the heat on the Tigers the rest of the season by taking this series...

Tigers know they can all but end our season by taking this series....


Look who came to play

[Sfeihc]

You guys want me to start the thread tomorrow?

[stonedstooge]

You guys want me to start the thread tomorrow?

No. We want you to go drink an antifreeze shake

[GloryDayz]

Bottom of the 4th does not = garbage time (for many teams, but prolly not the Royals).

FYP

[Sfeihc]

No. We want you to go drink an antifreeze shake

Just trying to be helpful.:D

[PHOG]

Royals know they can put the heat on the Tigers the rest of the season by taking this series...

Tigers know they can all but end our season by taking this series....


Look who came to play
Oh BS, how many times do they play...check it, and as far as I know, that's just the 1st game bitch..:hmmm: :harumph: :eek:

[Three7s]

Royals know they can put the heat on the Tigers the rest of the season by taking this series...

Tigers know they can all but end our season by taking this series....


Look who came to play
I know the Royals won last night, but all the signs were there for another offensive collapse during last night's showing. Horrid plate discipline and pitch recognition, pressing in key situations, and an injury to the best hitter on the team. Combine that with another injury to Vargas and an inconsistent James Shields and Jeremy Guthrie and this could get ugly fast.

To be honest, the All-Star break couldn't come at a better time.

Doubt it.. especially (sp) the last part...NED YOST!!

[stonedstooge]

Dyson should have had that one

[petegz28]

And now Ned is going to blow the pen on this abortion of a game

[petegz28]

Oh BS, how many times do they play...check it, and as far as I know, that's just the 1st game bitch..:hmmm: :harumph: :eek:

Dude, we lose this series and we are 8.5 games back and Detroit has played 3 less games than us....in other words we will be done.

[petegz28]

Gordon can't get back soon enough.......

[Sfeihc]

Dudes my age shouldn't be in MLB outfields. FACT

[bsroyals54]

What the fuck was that, why did we pick this player up? Nvm why do I ask stupid questions

[PHOG]

Welp GMDM, what is the excuse NOW!! the PROCESS??

[New World Order]

This is ****ing nuts. I just said Yost should leave guthrie in to save our bullpen.

Idiot

[PHOG]

Dude, we lose this series and we are 8.5 games back and Detroit has played 3 less games than us....in other words we will be done.
I understand that.. thanks for explaining it to me..:spock:

[bsroyals54]

Its ok our offense is due for a 13 run inning!


Edit: Pause............................. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAAA THIS OFFENSE IS A JOKE!

[New World Order]

http://i.imgur.com/pGntSsJ.gif

[GloryDayz]

How the FUCK can one team get that many people who can all be seeing the ball this well, all at the same time...

Wow, this game is going to seriously fuck with the heads of the Royals. Toast!

[Sfeihc]

Extra point is good and it's 14-2 as we go to the bottom of the fifth.

[stonedstooge]

Can a dh go into a game on defense?

[GloryDayz]

But we're not getting that much action from our guys...

At least somebody is on fire.

Any of you ever sit in the HyVee level @ the K? How is the view from the seats up there?

[Sfeihc]

71.8% of the Royals hits have been singles. Highest in MLB.

[GloryDayz]

At least somebody is on fire.

Any of you ever sit in the HyVee level @ the K? How is the view from the seats up there?

In the heat of the summer, I look for the shade, so it's fine. I'd rather bring binoculars than sit in the 95-degree direct sun and 70% humidity... So, based on the heat, I'll actually look for those seats..

[PHOG]

71.8% of the Royals hits have been singles. Highest in MLB.
Welp, that's it...I knew there was something about them...:rolleyes:

[C3HIEF3S]

Lol holy shit
14-2

[GloryDayz]

LOL, either out pitchers suck tonight, or they have the best hitters on the planet (or both).

[PHOG]

Lol holy shit
14-2
Hosmer, Butler, Moustakas, they all suck...look at the games that they win, it's from the bottom of the order producing

Especially Hosmer and Moustakas (sp)..send both of those arrogant ****s to AAA! Before it's too late, please!

Hosmer, your to AAA....Moose, your to AAA...Butler, we traded you for a Country Breakfast!!

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Nice to see us carry that momentum over from last night . . . . The Not Yet Ready for Prime Time Royals strike again!

[GloryDayz]

I know "they're Pros" (and friends), but how they can talk so casually to guys who are beating them 14-2 is beyond me. These guys don't even shake hands after a game, so why be so nice to guys who are ass-raping you?

[PHOG]

They are rent-a-players....These pieces of shit just don't wanna hurt themselves while in KC...and that's too bad +

[Sfeihc]

Guys I know you don't want to hear this but it really is just one game. I was on the other end of a beatdown like this a couple of times when the Royals came to town two weeks ago.

[New World Order]

Look at the Tigers; flying around the field trying to make plays up 14-2 while our guys laugh off base hit after base hit.

[GloryDayz]

And we mount the comeback!

[GloryDayz]

Belly.... Dugout-depth power!!! Nice...

[GloryDayz]

OK, we'll wait to mount the comeback!

[bsroyals54]

only 12 runs to go!

[mikey23545]

Well, nothing like getting humiliated at home in the first game of an important series.

[teedubya]

Brazilesque performance.

[ChiefsCountry]

Best part of baseball is at midnight its game day all over again. Shake it off and go it get tomorrow.

[Anyong Bluth]

This sucks but we only fall 1 game back no matter the score. Just like our 10 run wins up in Detroit.

/hopelessly trying to remain optimistic

Detroit at Kansas City 8:10 PM 1,452 available Sanchez vs Duffy

It's working

[tmw4h5]

Just called him Bill Butler. His career in KC is over. He is no longer Billy. Soon, he will be William.

[tmw4h5]

I will say that I am impressed that Ibanez is still awake. After my 4:30 dinner at Golden Corral, I know I'm ready to hit the sack by 7:30.

[58-4ever]

Just called him Bill Butler. His career in KC is over. He is no longer Billy. Soon, he will be William.

That's his pen name. He writes beautiful poetry about BBQ.

LMAO

[Sfeihc]

Duffy usually handles the Tigers very well.

[Al Bundy]

This was humiliating, Guthrie better have that "I want to kill myself" look in his eyes for not giving the Royals any chance.

[stonedstooge]

Shooting for 3 out of 4 now

[PHOG]

I will say that I am impressed that Ibanez is still awake. After my 4:30 dinner at Golden Corral, I know I'm ready to hit the sack by 7:30.

Mine feels a little better now

[PHOG]

Damn it was ass kicking day in Missouri - Cards got their asses handed to them as well.

Who?

[Deberg_1990]

Welp. At least Butler and Hosmer flashed some power. Hooray!

[Three7s]

Welp. At least Butler and Hosmer flashed some power. Hooray!
They always do something to give the homers some hope in meaningless blowout losses.

[shakesthecat]

Detroit just scored again

[CoMoChief]

Guthrie just let up another bomb.

[Archie F. Swin]

Based on the score, I'll assume Guthrie finished an inning by throwing a ball over Crown Vision.

[suzzer99]

This team has no grit. Can we bring David Howard back as a grit coach?

[C3HIEF3S]

This team has no grit. Can we bring David Howard back as a grit coach?

Yeah we need Chris Getz back, he had grit

[suzzer99]

Biancalana = the original grit. Well actually Freddy Patek might take that crown.

[Discuss Thrower]

Detroit just scored again

:facepalm:

What's this stupid **** I just read that the Tigers/Royals game tomorrow night is blacked out in KC and Detroit because of the MLB exclusive window rule which runs from 7-10pm ET? The Royals were the only ones who could do anything about by changing the time of first pitch but they didn't and kept it at 7:10pm ET. No wonder you guys are fed up with this franchise. It's 2014 for crying out loud and Royals and Tigers fan won't be able to watch the game in real time.

Looks like on MLB.tv that Detroit is broadcasting the game.

Did I hear right, that Ned was prepared to send Billy Ray in for some relief pitching to follow Bueno?

I'm sure that would have been the difference in a loss.

For awhile there, we got kind of used to the Detroit Lions being blacked out on TV. But the Tigers? This is something different.

The Tigers will not be on live television Saturday night, when they play the Kansas City Royals at 7:10 p.m. The game falls during the exclusive window for Fox’s national game of the week, so it cannot air live on Fox Sports Detroit. It will be shown on a delayed basis, starting at 10 p.m. on FSD.

It’s a Major League Baseball rule. The Tigers can’t control it. FSD can’t control it. The only entity that could have prevented the blackout is the Royals, who could have moved the start time out of the 7-10 p.m. window.

But they didn’t, and the game will not be allowed to be shown live in the Kansas City market, either.

So that’s that.
