I was 5 seconds away from starting this thread. Whew...pressures off.

[Discuss Thrower]

Awww I missed my chance.

Nothing new there.

[alnorth]

According to McCullough and Mellinger, Yost said he might use James Shields as a pinch-hitter to get through the pitcher spot since we only have 3 bench players (including the backup catcher) and he's our best-hitting pitcher.

Its unclear if he's joking.

So... if I understand this...

8 guys (minus pitcher) on the field, plus 3 bench players = 11 INF/OF/C, which means that the Royals are either carrying 13 or 14 pitchers, am I not mistaken?

[alnorth]

So... if I understand this...

I guess its 4 bench guys if you count the backup catcher, but its really risky to play him. But yeah, we're carrying 13 pitchers.

[PHOG]

May the Royals give Duff some run support tonight. :grovel:

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

How in the hell can you be 5-10 with a 2.42 ERA? That simply does not compute.

[-King-]

Yankees up 1.

[PHOG]

How in the hell can you be 5-10 with a 2.42 ERA? That simply does not compute.
According to the preview piece on espn, he has gotten 8 runs of support in his last eight games.

Kansas City's Danny Duffy (5-10, 2.42 ERA) is 2-5 with a 1.74 ERA in his last nine starts, and received just eight runs of support in the last eight. Three of those came while he went 0-3 with a 2.01 ERA in five July outings, but none in the last two.

:eek:

[Chiefspants]

How in the hell can you be 5-10 with a 2.42 ERA? That simply does not compute.

Well, he has had the terrible misfortune of matching up with Kershaw, Kluber(x2), and Anibal(x2).

It doesn't get much more brutal than that.

[Coach]

I guess its 4 bench guys if you count the backup catcher, but its really risky to play him. But yeah, we're carrying 13 pitchers.

Yeah, that's just dumb to carry 13 pitchers. One pitcher has to go to either Omaha or DFA'ed in order to get some bench and/or a bat.

Pitching isn't the problem for the Royals, IMHO. It's the offense.

[ChiefsCountry]

Tigers need to get their ass in gear. We need them to beat the teams for us in the Wildcard race. We can take care of them when we play them.

[C3HIEF3S]

Tigers need to get their ass in gear. We need them to beat the teams for us in the Wildcard race. We can take care of them when we play them.

This matter seems to be split among us on whether we want the Yankees to win or the Tigers to win.

[-King-]

We have to wait another hour for the game to start. YAY west coast!

[-King-]

Tigers need to get their ass in gear. We need them to beat the teams for us in the Wildcard race. We can take care of them when we play them.

I'd rather the Yankees win. If we win and Yankees win, we'll still be 1.5 games back of the wildcard, but only 3.5 games back in the division.

[-King-]

Toronto is losing. We might be only .5 games of the WC by the end of the day.

[cabletech94]

Toronto is losing. We might be only .5 games of the WC by the end of the day.

boner starting to rage again.......


goooooooooooo royals!!!!!

[Anyong Bluth]

Excellent, an alnorth game thread.

Let's do this, and hope the board regulars who are at the game can enjoy the game and getting the W in-person.

[petegz28]

So... if I understand this...

8 guys (minus pitcher) on the field, plus 3 bench players = 11 INF/OF/C, which means that the Royals are either carrying 13 or 14 pitchers, am I not mistaken?

They have been carrying pitchers like that all season. That's why Escobar has yet to get a game off. We should have Dyson, Ibanez, Colon and Kratz on the bench.

[C3HIEF3S]

I hope Lewdog brought his REX sign

[petegz28]

Yeah, that's just dumb to carry 13 pitchers. One pitcher has to go to either Omaha or DFA'ed in order to get some bench and/or a bat.

Pitching isn't the problem for the Royals, IMHO. It's the offense.

What the fuck is offense? /Dayton Moore

[Anyong Bluth]

This matter seems to be split among us on whether we want the Yankees to win or the Tigers to win.

Yep, mentioned it last week, but our 4 games with the Yankmes could prove to be the key to postseason hopes.

[petegz28]

KC is 12th in the AL and 19th in the ML in OBP. Our entire division has better OBP than we do

[petegz28]

Also we are 14th in the AL in OPS. There is just no excuse for it this far into the DM era.

[alnorth]

Top 1st

Aoki grounds out to second
Infante flies out to right

[C3HIEF3S]

How the hell did that even drop?

[penbrook]

That was inside

[C3HIEF3S]

Time for Duffy to continue his dominance... without run support.

[alnorth]

SungWoo update, the KC media is all over him.

[TLO]

Trumbo plays LF? Is this a new thing, or am I just that Diamondback retarded?

[C3HIEF3S]

Work around it Duff

[alnorth]

Trumbo plays LF? Is this a new thing, or am I just that Diamondback retarded?

in all fairness, no one knows a damned thing about Arizona, except that Goldschmidt plays there.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice!!

[alnorth]

If anyone still cares, the Injuns are getting stomped tonight

[C3HIEF3S]

Ugh.

[TLO]

Well, shit.

[TLO]

wasn't a bad pitch, nice piece of hitting.

[MMXcalibur]

As a very, very casual Pirates fan (as in I don't give two shits, but if I had to pick a team I'd pick the Pirates because I went to a game at Three Rivers when I was a wee lad)....

....beat the shit out of the D-bags.

[petegz28]

Here we go again, shit team going to take us to the woodshed

[cmh6476]

I'm here, we can get started now

[blake1771]

already 20 pitches. uggghhhh

[TLO]

Too many pitches.

[C3HIEF3S]

These guys are making him work, needs to put em away.

[Bambi]

the constant BS optimism from the Royals announcers is just excruciating

[cmh6476]

I sense we are going to score 5-6 runs this inning

[TLO]

Here we go again, shit team going to take us to the woodshed

Hold your horses there, Pete.

[TLO]

OHH BOYYY!

[C3HIEF3S]

Get it back, boys

[petegz28]

He "laces that one foul.." LMAO

[C3HIEF3S]

Nothing doing.

[petegz28]

JFC, take a pitch or two, guys....DAMN!

[Al Bundy]

So.. it's going to be one of those nights huh?

[Anyong Bluth]

So tired of the playing down to the opposing team's talent level type games we constantly have to endure. Especially when these could well be the margin of error for postseason play.

[Anyong Bluth]

Where did Ryan inherit his voice, definitely not from his father- who sounds closer to Daffy Duck!

[petegz28]

Good inning for Duffy. Sure would be nice for our offense to show up for him sometime this season

[petegz28]

Phys talking about upping our OBP and walks, etc...

In the AL we are last in walks, last in SO's and 4th in AVG. We are a machine of singles, 2nd to last in OBP, 2nd to last in OPS....did I say we are a machine of singles?

[C3HIEF3S]

Get this bunt down

[C3HIEF3S]

God damn it Duffy

[petegz28]

WTF are you doing, Duffy? LMAO that is an ugly bunt attempt

[ChiefsCountry]

This is real baseball!!!!!! /dumbass NL fans

That'll do

[petegz28]

Good bunt..with 2 strikes even

[cmh6476]

wtf, wow

[ChiefsCountry]

NL fans splooge!!!!

[alnorth]

NL baseball is terrible

[petegz28]

NL baseball is terrible

but strategy and 75 pitchers in every game, double switches and what not

[petegz28]

STFU, Hud...WTF are you swinging at the first pitch when the guy in front of you just walked???? It's like we have no fucking clue of how to play this game

[C3HIEF3S]

Now would be a great time for a 3 run homer

[Al Bundy]

So.. he just walked the guy before you. First thing you do? Swing at the first pitch. These dicks

[TLO]

How about a HR?

[petegz28]

BOOM!!!!!

[Captain Obvious]

Oh, the guy ahead of me just walked? I should definitely swing at the first pitch.

[C3HIEF3S]

BOOM

[TLO]

KABOOOOOOOM!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

How about a HR?

You are the man! ;)

[blake1771]

SALVY!!!!

[Al Bundy]

Now would be a great time for a 3 run homer

Well.

[Dartgod]

SALVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PHOG]

BOOM! 3 runs

[Captain Obvious]

It's crazy what happens when you wait for your pitch, huh?

[TLO]

Now would be a great time for a 3 run homer

How about a HR?

WTP man.

[cmh6476]

come on Yankmees

[cmh6476]

plus I'm starting Brett Gardner.

[petegz28]

do not fucking walk the pitcher!

[C3HIEF3S]

Danny you can't walk the pitcher..

[petegz28]

Oh FFS, Duffy, you just walked a pitcher. Get your head out of your asshole

[Dartgod]

Seriously, Duffy??

[Anyong Bluth]

Is this the most run support Duffy has had in a single game?

/seriously

[ChiefsCountry]

come on Yankmees

No we need Detroit to win.

[BigBeauford]

I don't watch much NL baseball, but I am gonna say walking a pitcher isn't good.

[cmh6476]

No we need Detroit to win.

not if we want to play in a 5-game series rather than a 1-game playoff :shrug:

[petegz28]

And up goes the pitch count...nevermind you wasted 6 on a walk to a fucking pitcher

[ChiefsCountry]

not if we want to play in a 5-game series rather than a 1-game playoff :shrug:

No its called keeping both options open. Keep the teams behind you down, and keep the team ahead of you at striking distance you can somewhat control your own fate with them.

[KCrockaholic]

Detroit losing would just be false hopes towards the division. But, yeah I still want NY to win this one.

[petegz28]

That should have been the end of the inning there

[C3HIEF3S]

Just get through 5 innings

[KCrockaholic]

If we had average pitching this team would be such dog shit.

[alnorth]

Shut your dirty mouth.

[stonedstooge]

If we had average pitching this team would be such dog shit.

Yeah, this is the 2nd year for this

[penbrook]

Why does Colon not get more playing time

[petegz28]

Leadoff single....wasted

[Dartgod]

Wasted opportunity.

[KCrockaholic]

Why does Colon not get more playing time

Gotta ease her into it.

[petegz28]

Why does Colon not get more playing time

Cause he is hitting good and what not. Ned will say it's because we need bench players due to being a NL game but you could easily bring in Moose the same way.

In other words, Ned Yost is a dumb ass

[ChiefsCountry]

Shut your dirty mouth.

Detroit could be our best friend this week. They knock everybody down in the wild card. Because we need those AL East teams to lose, because guess what they got to play each later and one them will be winning every night. We want Detroit to lose to the teams that aren't in the wildcard hunt.

[ROYC75]

No we need Detroit to win.

Nope, we Detroit to lose and as often as possible. You always shot for the division and accept the WC if need to.


BTW, anybody miss me ? Been watching since the start,just finally got the tablet from the kids.Go Royals!

I want to Detroit to lose every night. Full stop.

If we're this close, I don't care how frightening the Tigers may look on paper, I'm not interested in a plane flight to Orange County unless the division is lost.

[petegz28]

Let's interview the other teams' guy....LMAO

[Al Bundy]

Get this fucker out of the booth.

[Dartgod]

BTW, anybody miss me ?

No

[AustinChief]

Agreed.

[ChiefsCountry]

We can control our own fate in the division with Detroit. We have 6 games with them. Let them take out our competition for the wildcard.

[KCrockaholic]

What makes you think the Royals can handle their own business against Detroit?

[petegz28]

Hud says "Trumbo has King Kong power" as the fly ball falls 5 ft short of the warning track

[KCrockaholic]

A 1 game playoff would be bittersweet. And a loss in a 1 game playoff really doesn't mean shit to me. Gotta win.

[Dartgod]

Damn, Alex played that very well off the wall. Thought he might get him at 2nd.

[Dartgod]

I hate it when they do these interviews while the game is being played. I didn't tune in to hear what Tony Larussa thinks.

[petegz28]

Damn, Alex played that very well off the wall. Thought he might get him at 2nd.

Duffy ain't been hit a lot this game but the hits he has given up and have been shells

[stonedstooge]

What makes you think the Royals can handle their own business against Detroit?

Pitching keeps us in virtually every game

[ROYC75]

:deevee:Detroit could be our best friend this week. They knock everybody down in the wild card. Because we need those AL East teams to lose, because guess what they got to play each later and one them will be winning every night. We want Detroit to lose to the teams that aren't in the wildcard hunt.

What do you have against winning the division?

Would you not rather want a 5 game series or would rather play a 1 game play in game ?

[petegz28]

I hate it when they do these interviews while the game is being played. I didn't tune in to hear what Tony Larussa thinks.

They're just trying to keep up with the schleps on the radio who talk throughout an AB and occasionally fill you in with what is going on in the game

[petegz28]

What's tha tlike 17 straight foul balls?

[petegz28]

31 pitches later and we get the K

[BigBeauford]

They need to lock up Duffy now, this guy is our future ace.

[ChiefsCountry]

:deevee:

What do you have against winning the division?

Would you not rather want a 5 game series or would rather play a 1 game play in game ?

I don't have nothing against winning the division. Let Detroit take care of the other wildcard teams behind us, we can take Detroit out ourselves for the division. Make it a AL Central winner/wildcard position guarantee.

I want to Detroit to lose every night. Full stop.

Danny won't know how to pitch with a 5 run lead?

Detroit just took the lead in the 12th against the Yankees.

I said it first

[tk13]

Also the White Sox got destroyed by the Rangers of all teams, 16-0. Ugly. Adam Dunn came in and pitched the 9th inning.

[TLO]

Gordon is the worst hitter on our team

Lol wut?

[ROYC75]

And tigers take the lead

Somewhere ChiefsCountry is PBJ

[KCCHIEFS27]

Good, we are beating a below average team!

Watch out now..somebody said that Wade Miley was an above average pitcher and today was a wash. Yet, he has given up two homeruns to the worst homerun hitting team in the majors.

[Anyong Bluth]

I second this big time. He has been nothing short of phenomenal this year. Crappy run support...the guy has got it together.

I pray to God they do. He's seriously my favorite Royal of the last 2 decades or so!

[stonedstooge]

That was more of an interference by Cain then that one that got called earlier this year

[penbrook]

Lol fucking idiot that was a walk. Can't award a stolen base

[petegz28]

WOW! Really? WOW!

[stonedstooge]

w00t. LO CAIN

[TLO]

Danny Duffy grand slam please.


EDIT: 3 run homer I mean.

[C3HIEF3S]

The Dbacks fucking suck

[ROYC75]

That was ugly and lucky!

Pretty unreal base steal. When the royals are hot, they're hot!

[tk13]

I'm fairly certain we slipped into an alternate universe. Or someone is attempting inception on us.

[cmh6476]

too bad it wasn't the 6th and I was selected for the sonic slam inning. I could use an extra $25k

[gblowfish]

I can't remember the last time we totally kicked the shit out of a team.
Feels good.
Feels real good.

[ROYC75]

No that's next inning

[cmh6476]

Grand Sram rep

[CoMoChief]

CoMo strikes again.

heh....I think it's safe to say Dyson should still be playing RF over Aoki....regardless of that hit. We win this game with or without Aoki

[KCrockaholic]

Rally Killers all over the park tonight

[TambaBerry]

I can't stop laughing

[C3HIEF3S]

Lewdog is the KEY!!!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This game is hilarious and awesome.

[Jerok]

When you're hot you're hot! Too bad that wasn't the 6th for the sonic grand slam $25k haha. That guy's kicking himself.

[Anyong Bluth]

Kamikaze longball

[KCrockaholic]

Games like this bother me though. In typical Royal fashion they'll fall flat tomorrow.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I sure as hell wish they'd play Dyson over Aoki

Dyson doesn't hit grand slams.

[Prison Bitch]

Why on earth did Gibson bring in a RH to face little guy?



Someone needs to screenshot Aoki being congratulated at home by Cain, Escobar and Duffy. LOL

[ROYC75]

Lewdog is the KEY!!!

Why, I watching the game, this is on me!






LOL

[cmh6476]

I wonder if alnorth has any left in him for tomorrow's thread after this

[cmh6476]

Dyson doesn't hit grand srams.

[gblowfish]

FYP

[Anyong Bluth]

Lewdog is the KEY!!!

That means the bastard has to take an extended vacation to travel around the country and go to every Royals game.

Nope, I suggested he take a Hud lifesize cutout. Would have been on tv multiple times.
