In. 5-1 Royals.

[WakkaWakka]

In.

[BigCatDaddy]

In for some swag.

[TribalElder]

Rained out until a later date when the royals whoop their asses

[BlackHelicopters]

Go Royals!

[TLO]

In for the rain out. :(

Hopefully the stadium doesn't get hit by a tornado.

[alnorth]

yeah, the forecast doesn't look encouraging.

[SAUTO]

Man I sure hope they get this one in

[ChiTown]

My hope for Mr. Daniel Duffy is that he has a steady, healthy season. If he can remain healthy all year, the top of our rotation will be quite formidable.

[Dunit35]

Gay. I took a vacation day today for other reasons. Was pumped to get to watch the game. Hopefully, it doesn't get rained out.

[Strongside]

Hoping today turns out like yesterday. Weather warms up, sun makes an appearance and the rain stays away. We were supposed to have similar weather this morning.

I did hear on the news this AM that the chance of rain is dicey and that thunderstorms this afternoon will be spontaneous and scattered, not long-lasting.

[alnorth]

I have a feeling that the Royals may have a quick trigger for this. If it was just a thunderstorm watch then maybe they wait till close to game time, but the forecast discussions from the NWS are talking about possible tornadoes. If they still think that tornadoes tonight are a possibility by about 5:30pm or so, then the Royals are not going to want people to leave home. You can't send 15,000 people from your parking lot to drive around in a tornado watch box.

There's still a chance that the forecast could change dramatically this afternoon to the point where rain is no longer likely and we could then get the game in, but if not then the Royals are probably not going to mess around with this.

You underestimate major league greed. Sure, the game can get rained out for bad weather, but they'll still collect the parking and concession money from fans who do come out. And tornado watches have NEVER postponed a Royals Game that I can remember.

[mr. tegu]

My hope for Mr. Daniel Duffy is that he has a steady, healthy season. If he can remain healthy all year, the top of our rotation will be quite formidable.

He was recently talking about how his focus this off season was to ensure his physical health would be such that he could throw 200 innings. He eluded to a lot more core strengthening and adding some weight which is apparently different than what he had done in past off seasons.

[kcfanXIII]

Yeah, he said in previous years his focus was more on improving different aspects of his game that needed work, and he didn't really think about conditioning too much.

[Strongside]

Chance of rain is no 0% until 8pm. At which it's only 40%, followed again by 10% at 9.

Game will happen.

[Kidd Lex]

He also needs to focus on attacking the strike zone and pitching to contact to pitch deeper into games. The guys all world for 5 innings.

[cmh6476]

when do the postseason probabilities come out on mlb.com?

[duncan_idaho]

He also needs to focus on attacking the strike zone and pitching to contact to pitch deeper into games. The guys all world for 5 innings.

He made huge strides with that (pitching to contact) last year, as seen in the high number of pop-ups he was getting.

If you take away the two short outings he had in September (when he tried to pitch through a broken rib), Duffy averaged 6 innings a start. You'd like to see him add 2/3 of an inning to that average, but that's pretty solid.

[Saul Good]

I'll take a guy who can go balls to the wall for 6 innings on this team every time.

I will say that the biggest downside of losing Shields is that he was good at giving our pen a rest.

NWS forecast discussion just updated a half hour ago. Things could get crazy in KC overnight, but for the time period we care about, they now think that the storms are probably going to miss to the south of the KC metro.

Gotta think that 80 game suspension took some wind out of the Twins' sails coming into the season.

So it's sunny and beautiful at the k. Watch for me on TV in crown seats. I'll be the guy in royals gear. :)

If you have the ad blocker pro chrome extension (which you should), it's not a bad experience at all.

Streamed a ton of games on stikeout.co last season. No issues.

I had to disable ad blocker this year. Hit the BLUE X's and you will be fine.

I'll just stick with my usual setup. MLB audio on the computer, and muted TV.

[lewdog]

Does anyone who watches on mlbtv.com like I do know how to watch under previous editions where I can select the quality of the broadcast to decrease the buffering that happens? Or is that edition not available anymore?

Edgar Yost, Jr. = Baseball Wizard

[KCCHIEFS27]

Abreu made a catch, holy shit.

Fans should have went for the ball or pushed his glove out of the way. Damn, Moose so far has a much better approach at the plate compared to last year.

[lewdog]

MOOSE!!!!!!!!!

[SPchief]

Well I'll be damned

[cosmo20002]

Moose en fuego

[Pablo]

Dirty fucks at it again!

[Kidd Lex]

Moose kept his head right on that ball - excellent sign

[cosmo20002]

WTF with going after Cain?

[eDave]

Plunked. Here we go!

[baitism]

*hit batter*

*swings at first pitch*

damn it, Hosmer

[cosmo20002]

Nice, we really need a nickname for Morales.

[ChiefsCountry]

Boner alert

Okay, I must have missed something. What are we retaliating for?

[lewdog]

This is Strongside's boyfriend at the plate.

[eDave]

That probably settles it. Class.

[WhawhaWhat]

Still 17 games to go against the White Sox.

[SPchief]

Okay, I must have missed something. What are we retaliating for?

Cain on Monday.

[lewdog]

Still 17 games to go against the White Sox.

AND FUCK THEM FROM GAME 1!!!!!!!

[Silock]

Cain on Monday.

Ah, must have been after I left the house.

[alnorth]

Okay, I must have missed something. What are we retaliating for?

Cain got hit yesterday under suspicious circumstances, and again today

[KCCHIEFS27]

well damn, there goes the perfect game and no hitter.

[cosmo20002]

Cain on Monday.

And again today

[eDave]

Cain got hit yesterday under suspicious circumstances, and again today

Oh. Again? NOT settled.

[Discuss Thrower]

Bah fuck

[SPchief]

And again today

No way tonight's was intentional, but still worth responding to.

[cosmo20002]

Moosted

[alnorth]

Oh. Again? NOT settled.

Today was probably not intentional, but you can't hit Cain's legs again after yesterday

[Discuss Thrower]

Damn

[KCCHIEFS27]

[kcchiefsus]

Fucking Duffy, bitch ass cunt.

[SPchief]

[Silock]

Blah.

Flowers always kills us!!!!!!!!

[baitism]

Wasted too many chances to end this inning.

[KCUnited]

Got to be able to end innings to throw 200.

[Kidd Lex]

And a shit ton of pitches - need to see more swing throughs

[Discuss Thrower]

SEASON OVER

[Three7s]

Wasted too many chances to end this inning.
Gotta put this one on Duffy. Retaliating is pretty pointless and it hurt his team. And Cain getting hit today was mere coincidence. It was a breaking ball inside that got away.

I'll bash ye fookin' hed in I sware on me mum.

[Fairplay]

Duffy throws a lot of pitches for sure.

Just throw strikes and get them out.

Well, he didn't hit the guy. It was just ball 1.

[SPchief]

Kinda screws the pitcher.

Not if he does his job, it was only 1 ball

[WhawhaWhat]

I'm listening on radio, Could Rios have made that catch if he didn't come forward first?

[alnorth]

I'm listening on radio, Could Rios have made that catch if he didn't come forward first?

Didn't see how he was set up, but Denny thought he could have at least made it close. It didn't seem to be hit that far on TV.

[eDave]

Not if he does his job, it was only 1 ball

Shoulda just hit the mother****er.

I just think it blew his rhythm

[SPchief]

I'm listening on radio, Could Rios have made that catch if he didn't come forward first?

Yep, if he doesn't step in, he Should be able to get there

[Three7s]

Retaliating is not pointless
That's your opinion. My belief is that if you want to retaliate, you do it by continuing to beat the tar out of them, not by hitting some random batter. However, if you just HAVE to retaliate, please do it when the route is on.....not up one with two outs in the 2nd.

[petegz28]

wtf was that one?

You're human trash for enjoying Big Bang Theory enough to have it in your avatar.

[Saul Good]

In all honesty, I thought Duffy looked shaken up after he threw behind Laroche. I'm sure he didn't mean to come that close to his head, and I told my wife I was worried about an adrenaline dump.

[petegz28]

nice..went right at Abreu

[SPchief]

Nice bounceback from Duffy

[Three7s]

He threw ball 1........
Because we all know he never intended to hit him.

Wait, so the Royals are all about defense and speed, and now we have power? 90+ wins this season.

Well I pay for mlbtv so I don't get all that junk from firstrow sports. But it's always a bit behind. Oh well.

[Silock]

WTF is the point of the warning if you're going to let the guy plunk two batters?

[Anyong Bluth]

Okay, so we used up our allotted Homers for April and only 2 games in. Otherwise, I think I can get behind a bit more pop in our lineuo

Perhaps that's why he yelled at his glove walking off?

[petegz28]

It's the bottom of their order killing us tonight.

Beckham with a fluke infield single and a bloop....getting lucky tonight
