They were saying two days ago that it looked clear on Thursday? WTF? All those kids are gonna get all sugared up and be like little drowned rats. Thank GOD I'm not a teacher on that field trip today!

[Great Expectations]

I think it might be a delayed start by 45 minutes - an hour.

[KCUnited]

Be nice if the game got delayed 4 hours or so.

I kinda feel sorry for the kids, if they went out there as part of a school group they are probably back at school and their noses will be in their books this afternoon.

Thanks, maybe in a year I'll be paying more attention to my 5000th post. I should have used my 4000th to start my first gameday thread.

You kidding me?

WOW, all the way from 1st on a single!

[ROYC75]

BOOM!

Damn, a missile by Hos!

[siberian khatru]

Hos is hot

[chief4life]

Booooooooooooom what a shot by Hosmer :thumb: 3 run bomb!

[ChiTown]

4-0!!

Fuck Kluber

[ROYC75]

4 - 0 KC!

[LoneWolf]

This HOS is on fire!

[mr. tegu]

Three run rally killer!

[Three7s]

Three run rally killer!
Was thinking the same thing.

[Bob Dole]

Much better start than a lot of recent games.

[duncan_idaho]

Love the way Hosmer is swinging it... But I do worry his stride is getting a little long.

He has to stay short with the stride to stay on balance and avoid getting off balance/susceptible to outside breaking stuff.

[mr. tegu]

Lets get some more runs just in case the rain comes in so that this game can be called after five innings.

[ChiTown]

Sal is struggling in this series

[Three7s]

Sal with a terrible AB. That was just going by Gameday.

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer kills yet another fucking rally.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice to have a bounceback inning like that after a game like last night.

[ROYC75]

Love the way Hosmer is swinging it... But I do worry his stride is getting a little long.

He has to stay short with the stride to stay on balance and avoid getting off balance/susceptible to outside breaking stuff.

Yep, all of this.

[Three7s]

Nice to have a bounceback inning like that after a game like last night.
Yep, 4 runs should be good enough for Volquez.

[chief4life]

Hosmer kills yet another ****ing rally.

What? He hit a 3 run bomb how is that killing a rally?

[siberian khatru]

Nice to have a bounceback inning like that after a game like last night.

That's what happens when you get rid of a clubhouse cancer like Francisco Pena.

[LoneWolf]

You must not watch the Royals very often or frequent the GDT.

[Great Expectations]

He had it much shorter earlier in the year.

[Three7s]

It was a joke made about something Nate Bukaty said last year about how he feels a home run is a rally killer.

[Captain Obvious]

If Lonnie Chisenhall played against the Royals every game, he'd be a 1st ballot hall of famer.

[siberian khatru]

So much for the shutdown inning.

[kcfanXIII]

How'd they get their run? HR?

[siberian khatru]

Triple, ground out

[duncan_idaho]

Ask George Brett.

[kcfanXIII]

Triple, ground out

pace of play problem my ass... A lot can happen in the time it takes to piss.

[petegz28]

Christ...when was the last time Gordon put a ball in play???

[Three7s]

Let me guess, Gordon swung over the top of another down and away breaking ball.

[suzzer99]

I really hate the way we use Dyson when he gets on base. Why bunt on the first pitch? Let him steal. We should rarely be bunting with him on base.

[mr. tegu]

It's one thing to throw pitches that are called balls, but right now Volquez's pitches that are balls are no where close to being strikes.

[Three7s]

Is everyone at the game? I need play-by-play. :(

[petegz28]

Maybe he should walk some more runners????

Our starting rotation sucks ass

[beer bacon]

When did our starters forget our defense is really good at giving them outs if they throw strikes?

[ChiTown]

JFC! Volquez cant find his ass with either hand.......

[siberian khatru]

Jesus Christ

[ChiTown]

Thats fucking pathetic

[beer bacon]

None of our fucking starters can throw strikes.

[mr. tegu]

Being afraid of the bottom of the order is a bad thing.

[SPchief]

JFC

[stonedstooge]

None of our ****ing starters can throw strikes.

GAWDDAMM UMPS/Pete

[Blankey]

This is the most frustrating thing to watch in baseball

[siberian khatru]

0-2 and he STILL fucking walked him

[KCUnited]

Jonathan Broxton level of suckage.

[ChiTown]

Fuck off, Volquez. Really?

[penbrook]

Pull his ass

[gblowfish]

Somebody better pry Ned away from watching Judge Judy and get somebody up in the pen...

[Bob Dole]

This is the most frustrating thing to watch in baseball

Agreed.

[SPchief]

Gotta be able to finish

[beer bacon]

We can't pull our starters in the early innings of every game. Fuck these guys if they can't figure out how to get a pitch over the plate.

[siberian khatru]

Thank God

[mr. tegu]

Wow. If we would have held them down a few more innings and tacked on a few for ourselves they would have mentally checked out and we would have had an easy victory. That ship has sailed though.

[Great Expectations]

We really need him to get through 5 with the lead.

[Three7s]

This starting rotation is infuriating. I've had enough of having to rely on the offense and bullpen to win every game.

[mr. tegu]

Not having Esky and Rios really shortens up our lineup.

[Great Expectations]

Sal needs to get his patience back, swinging at offspeed on the first pitch isn't how you beat Kluber, then chasing a sinker way low.

[Three7s]

Perez is thinking too much up there.

[Great Expectations]

Not having Esky and Rios really shortens up our lineup.

Rios yes, but Esky isn't that much better than Colon. It really hurts our infield D though.

[Three7s]

One thing the Royals offense has done that should help is they've gotten Kluber's pitch-count up.

[siberian khatru]

Surprised Ned didn't try to squeeze at least one more inning out of Volquez

[duncan_idaho]

Re: Salvy having a tough series - being a righty and facing these three guys back-to-back-to-back can't be fun. Salazar, Carrasco and Kluber are nasty.

Re: Rotation ... gotta get this together, or they're going to have to make a deadline move.

Re: Esky... he's a better hitter than Colon and much more dangerous in that leadoff spot. And having Gordon in the leadoff rather than hitting 5th or 6th does shorten the lineup a lot. As does Dyson/Orlando vs. Rios.

[stonedstooge]

Rios yes, but Esky isn't that much better than Colon. It really hurts our infield D though.

WUT?

[Great Expectations]

Esky is a career .264, .300, .349 guy. Granted he was much better than that last year, but he was also much worse two years ago. Losing Esky's defense hurts more than his offense. The drop on offense isn't as severe.

How's it going in here today Duncan?

[siberian khatru]

I'd like to get 2-3 insurance runs before Hoch comes in

[Deberg_1990]

I'd like to get 2-3 insurance runs before Hoch comes in

Low leverage Luke!

[Bob Dole]

Even Ned knows a 2 walks per inning average thru 3 is a recipe for disaster.

Re: Salvy - When was the last time he had a day off? Feels like he been playing practically almost every game. Some things just never change.

Re: Starting rotation - They really need to get their shit together, because their dumbassery is hurting our bullpen.....

[ChiTown]

Moose leads off with a single followed by 2 K's:banghead:

[SPchief]

Re: Salvy - When was the last time he had a day off? Feels like he been playing practically almost every game. Some things just never change.

Salvy literally hasn't had a whole day off yet not counting off days. The one game he didn't start, he came in and finished.

[Mr. Laz]

love Morales

such a good adidition

[ChiTown]

love Morales

such a good adidition

Butler .257 3HR 13 RBI

Morales .306 4HR 23 RBI

Winning!

[SPchief]

There you go Salvy!

[Coach]

There you go Perez.

[ChiTown]

SAL delivers!

[siberian khatru]

Attaboy, Salvy

[siberian khatru]

Butler .257 3HR 13 RBI

Morales .306 4HR 23 RBI

Winning!

After starting hot, Billy's been in a 4-for-44 slump

[Coach]

Outfante to the rescue for the Indians!

[ChiTown]

After starting hot, Billy's been in a 4-for-44 slump

I don't believe Billy has had an RBI since we wrapped up the OAK series in KC

[Mr. Laz]

Butler .257 3HR 13 RBI

Morales .306 4HR 23 RBI

Winning!

Morales - 9 million
Butler - 10 million

booyah!!

:D

even beyond the numbers, Morales is just more impactful imo

[chief4life]

Lukeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :thumb:

[SPchief]

Welcome back Hoch!

[Mr. Laz]

Outfante to the rescue for the Indians!

more Colon please

[Mr. Laz]

would really help if Hoch can come back strong

[Coach]

95 on the gun on that 2-2 pitch...

[Mr. Laz]

Salvy just keep getting the shit beat out of him

[petegz28]

Not having Esky and Rios really shortens up our lineup.

especially when Infante is 2 for his last 22. Perez hasn't done much either until that last ab and Gordon has struck out in 6 straight official ab's

[petegz28]

fucking twins won again?!?!

[chief4life]

Niceeeeeeeeeee:thumb:

[Mr. Laz]

Hoch!!!

[Coach]

Welcome back Hoch.

[Mr. Laz]

look out peeps, Hoch is looking a little bit Wade Davis-ish

:D

[chief4life]

That curve was dirty

[Pablo]

Nice couple of pitches there.

[SPchief]

look out peeps, Hoch is looking a little bit Wade Davis-ish

:D

Hoch was Wade Davis before Wade Davis was Wade Davis.

[SPchief]

Dirrrrrttttyyyyyy

[ChiTown]

look out peeps, Hoch is looking a little bit Wade Davis-ish

:D

His knuckle curve looks sick:)

[chief4life]

Dirrrrrttttyyyyyy

Like Pamela Anderson dirty

[suzzer99]

Is it wrong that Hoch is giving me a giant boner right now?

[Abba-Dabba]

So good to see Hoch out there again.

[petegz28]

can hoch just pitch until the 9th?

[Hog Rider]

Luke uses the Force...at first.

[Pablo]

This pen is just going to get even filthier.

Nice inning Hoch!

[Mr. Laz]

So does that mean our bullpen now starts in the 5th inning?


:fire:

[tyler360]

Good to see Hoch looking good out there again

[penbrook]

Hochevar revieving a standing ovation after that inning and rightfully so

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Holy shit this pen is disgusting.

Frasor

Hochevar
Herrera
Davis
Holland

That's not even fair

[petegz28]

Gordon got a hit!!!

now if our starters can just get their shit together

Guthrie and Vargas, i'm looking at you.

[Coach]

Mooooooooossseeeee tacos!!!!

[RealSNR]

I hate this fucking Indians manager.

I'll bet he redecorates his bathroom every time he has to take a shit.

[Coach]

If only Dyson can stop acting like a Willie Mays Hayes trying to hit for power and put the ball on the ground, that'd be fucking fantastic...

[chiefqueen]

After starting hot, Billy's been in a 4-for-44 slump

I wonder how many of those outs are foul pop-ups in Oakland's ball park that would have landed in the seats in any other ball park.

[tyler360]

Damn

[stonedstooge]

Denny and Lenny, soon to be calling bingo at the nursing home

[Dartgod]

[SPchief]

Bench him!

[petegz28]

well fuck....

[C3HIEF3S]

get out of this inning, Davis.. Holland.. profit.

[petegz28]

Okay, 2 on, 0 outs...get 1 home

[PHOG]

Just tuned in...looking good. And Atchison coming on in relief? With 2 on, no outs? And the lead? :drool:

[Kidd Lex]

Okay, 2 on, 0 outs...get 1 home

3 bunts should do it

[petegz28]

aw fuck....can Infante do something productive here?????

[petegz28]

Pitching coach telling him..."just throw sliders low and away...he will swing at them every time...."

[petegz28]

he just threw 2 balls in the dirt, bases loaded, 0 outs and Infante swings at a pitch in the dirt that would have made it a 3-0 count

[Coach]

Stop swinging Omar. You fucking blow when you chase pitches out of the zone!

[Coach]

Thank god that fuck did something right for a change....

[petegz28]

about fucking time, Omar.....good hit...and thank you Atchison for hanging that fucker

[LoneWolf]

aw fuck....can Infante do something productive here?????

:D

[PHOG]

Whoop!! :thumb:

[kstater]

Damn Outfante

[Bob Dole]

Stop swinging Omar. You ****ing blow when you chase pitches out of the zone!

4 straight balls.

[siberian khatru]

Fuck yeah

[Blankey]

Atchinson probably shouldn't be in the league anymore

[Kidd Lex]

Royals doing it the hard way - all dem hits baby

[suzzer99]

Why did the Indians sign Billy Bob Thornton? Seems like a strange move.

[LoneWolf]

Atchinson probably shouldn't be in the league anymore

I think he should be traded to Detroit to be the setup man for Soria.

[suzzer99]

Let's get some more runs and rest HD for the Tigers series.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

run the score up. We need a good 15 point blowout.

[CaliforniaChief]

Isn't Allen their closer?

[suzzer99]

That was a ball to Cabrera all series vs DET.

[SPchief]

run the score up. We need a good 15 point blowout.

Screw that, kick the field goal and move on

[PHOG]

Isn't Allen their closer?
Apparently

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

nice Plate Appearance Colon.

[siberian khatru]

Let's go Gordo

[PHOG]

Park it!

Pfft

[ChiefsCountry]

Moosedong would be nice.

[siberian khatru]

Oh well. If Davis and Holland can't hold a 3-run lead, it wasn't meant to be.

[suzzer99]

I'd rather those guys be rested for DET.

[siberian khatru]

Wade Davis is illegal in 49 states

[Bob Dole]

How many pitchers do they have on their roster?

[tk13]

I'd be curious to see what Wade's advanced stats say, like the contact rate against him. He's been unstoppable, but it just feels like he's trying to pitch to contact more this year. He's not walking anyone, just using his stuff and going right after guys. If they hit it, they hit it.

[suzzer99]

Let's see if Holland can outdo my Hoch Boner.

[Kidd Lex]

Let's see if Holland can outdo my Hoch Boner.

If you still have the periscope up - might want to seek medical help

Seeing the gun saying 94-95 for Holland.

[penbrook]

Exactly where it should be

Holland in for the save - winner winner chicken dinner

[ChiefsCountry]

Winner. Another series win. On to Detroit.

Seeing the gun saying 94-95 for Holland.

Cue Holland boner :thumb:

[siberian khatru]

Hell yeahs. What a fucking bullpen.

[beer bacon]

Six pitch inning for Holland. Not too bad.

[PHOG]

On to Detroit. Keep it up, kiddos!! :thumb:

[tk13]

Well we have built one of the most unbelievable bullpens ever. Now our starters just have to get it together and we'll be dangerous.

[Bob Dole]

6 pitches, inning over. Sick

[Mr. Laz]

Bullpen Boner

[Hootie]

I'll be at the game tomorrow in Detroit!

[penbrook]

Who would of thought 2 years ago Hochevar was being booed out of every game and than today he gets a standing ovation. Brings tears to eyes

[ChiefsCountry]

I'll be at the game tomorrow in Detroit!

Ventura vs. Price

[Kidd Lex]

Bullpen Boner

All this talk of boners :drool:

[C3HIEF3S]

Seeing the gun saying 94-95 for Holland.

Good, that's comforting to know. Glad that his velocity drop was most likely due to his most recent injury.

[ChiTown]

Well we have built one of the most unbelievable bullpens ever. Now our starters just have to get it together and we'll be dangerous.

It's pretty gawdamned amazing, right? Our rotation just needs to be about AL MLB average and we should be in great shape

[suzzer99]

If you still have the periscope up - might want to seek medical help

The homer Madson gave up killed it for a bit.

[Al Bundy]

Nice win... but the bullpen can't continue to work like that. These starters need to get their shit together.

[suzzer99]

Let's say the Yankees were offered a choice on each player in our bullpen. Not pick the best, but they have a choice to take that one player and send one of theirs down. Are there any they wouldn't take right now?

It's gonna be fun when we play them. The back end of their bullpen has been as good as ours. Betances and Miller are putting up sick numbers so far, I don't think either of them have allowed a run either. Whoever's leading after 6 is going to win every night.

2 years ago Hochaver wasn't being booed out of every game.

[tk13]

The Astros were down 2 in the 9th and have scored 3 off Huston Street and are still batting. They are playing well. Royals would've passed them for best record in the AL if they lose.

[Prison Bitch]

38k attendance. That's what's bringing tears to my eyes. Not really but still, it's a huge signal the fans are sending to DM and glass. And the franchise is becoming more valuable since the next buyer sees that fans will come out

After all that, Cleveland only had 4 hits? That was an ugly, ugly game.

This. The fans are bringing it this year. Just compare the May 2014 and May 2015 weekend series vs. the Tigers:

28,021 - 38,186
29,200 - 38,692
22,504 - 38,326

The Royals are the perfect storm for the fans right now. Homegrown talent, most fun/exciting to watch in baseball, city starved beyond all comprehension by 29 years of crap baseball, Chiefs in kind of a malaise and fans bored with their mediocrity. It's like when the Chiefs finally got good in the late 90s. So much fun.

so I feel like I have pushed my luck a bit too much but still helped us get two wins out of three with my thread starting mojo. Who can help us take the Detroit series? bruiser?
