Please let this be the game when Ventura cokes back to form.

[KChiefs1]

I'd like to see a classic game 6 Ventura tonight.

[mr. tegu]

We will get to 10 games above .500 tonight. *

[cabletech94]

in for the pain!!!!

goooooooo royals!!!

[kcfanXIII]

Good to see them come back to life last night. Here's hoping for a blow out.

[BlackHelicopters]

Go away rain.

[CaliforniaChief]

The rain should have come on Monday. Weather has not been our friend. Oh well.

[wazu]

Looking doubtful.

[Why Not?]

Yeah, I wouldn't cancel your other plans. DH tomorrow?

[Saul Good]

Please let this be the game when Ventura cokes back to form.

This isn't the 1983 Royals.

[kysirsoze]

This isn't the 1983 Royals.

LMAO

[kcfanXIII]

Weather.com says the best chance for rain ends around 6. Drops from 95% to about 20% for the rest of the evening. Fingers crossed.

They've managed to have nice weather on a lot of days that rain was expected, especially opening week.

No rain tonight! Let's get another series win.

Speaking of which, what is Prince Fielder up to these days weight wise?

The guys seems like he's going to eat himself out of the league.

I don't know how he can get his bat around that gut.

[Nickel D]

I'm picking Morales to go deep twice tonight.

[CaliforniaChief]

I'll put on my amateur meteorologist hat and say that the progression of the rain band is encouraging...it seems to be diminishing slightly and moving more quickly off to the north and east. Unless more stuff generates, I think we'll play.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Just Glad Duffy isn't pitching !!!!

Have they sent him back to the minors yet ?

[mr. tegu]

No rain tonight! Let's get another series win.

We can't win the series tonight. It is a four game series.

[WhawhaWhat]

Looking like there may be a 15-30 minute delay but the rain should move out.

[kcfanXIII]

They won't send Duffy back to the minors. That isn't going to happen. I think he will get it turned around. Just needs to get out of his head.

[CaliforniaChief]

Duffy's stuff is there. Re-watch the start against the Tigers in KC. Just dynamite.

Concerned, but optimistic.

Since the DET series in KC, Orlando is 3 for 18 (.167 BA). Would be nice to see him making some contact again and putting the ball in the alley's. No XBH's for him in 18 AB's in May

[kcfanXIII]

Orlando is a nice story, but he isn't an everyday player. He's a nice back up, and he's played alright since Rios's injury. We need Rios back though. Neither Orlando or Dyson even are everyday outfielders.

[Great Expectations]

It'll be nice to get Rios back, then Cain can have an offday or two throughout the year.

[Three7s]

Orlando is a nice story, but he isn't an everyday player. He's a nice back up, and he's played alright since Rios's injury. We need Rios back though. Neither Orlando or Dyson even are everyday outfielders.
Has anyone heard a time-table on Rios?

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Has anyone heard a time-table on Rios?

He's been swinging a bat (without contact). And is expected to return by the end of the month.

[BWillie]

It'll be nice to get Rios back, then Cain can have an offday or two throughout the year.

What's the deal with Rios? After the initial prognosis it appeared he would have been back by now, but sounds like he's 3 weeks away :(

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Actually... JUST got a new update.

It's another step in the right direction for Rios, who has been out since mid-April with a non-displaced fracture of the fifth metacarpal in his left hand. The outfielder seems to be on track for an early-June return, but it's tough to map out a specific timetable until he begins to face live pitching. May 13 - 5:53 PM

http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/mlb/3793/alex-rios

[ChiTown]

He's been swinging a bat (without contact). And is expected to return by the end of the month.

:thumb: - Thanks for the update. I had not heard.

[BWillie]

Why is your cat twerking?

[Great Expectations]

Actually... JUST got a new update.



http://www.rotoworld.com/recent/mlb/3793/alex-rios

3 to 6 weeks was the original projections. I wonder if the diagnosis was wrong. Should've been 8-12 weeks.

[SPchief]

Ok, in for some Yo

[Archie F. Swin]

Bought my tix to tomorrow's game

[lewdog]

Welcome one and all. So rain delay at some point likely?

[baitism]

Lobstein just pulled a Duffy.

[kysirsoze]

Well the Twins are knocking the Tigers around, so that's good.

[kysirsoze]

Lobstein just pulled a Duffy.

Yeah, the third inning looked like BP.

[SPchief]

Welcome one and all. So rain delay at some point likely?

Not if Ace no hits em

[C3HIEF3S]

Back at it boys, lets get a W

[C3HIEF3S]

That homer now has Esky swinging at a lot of first pitches.

[lewdog]

Swing first pitch every time huh ESKY?

[lewdog]

I forgot the Rangers had Gallardo. I was hoping the Royals would have signed him for some insurance.

[C3HIEF3S]

Come through for us Ventura.

[Al Bundy]

Pretty easy inning for that guy with a rat tail.

[GloryDayz]

OK, do this...

[SPchief]

I really hate that guy, he owns us

[baitism]

JFC... he was batting .188 when this series started.

[C3HIEF3S]

Same spot Volquez put his meatball to Choo last night.

[Great Expectations]

Swing first pitch every time huh ESKY?

Hud explained why it was ok.

[GloryDayz]

Welp, evidently he's not swinging a chop stick!

[C3HIEF3S]

It's alright, long game. Just like last night.

[ChiefsCountry]

Deja vu.

[stonedstooge]

Christ, ump at home going to squeeze the shit out of us again tonight

[C3HIEF3S]

He's not getting squeezed. He's throwing balls.

[GloryDayz]

He's pitching too fast!

[wazu]

Ventura forgot to button his jersey. Gotta do something weird, I guess.

[baitism]

He's not getting squeezed. He's throwing balls.

this

[Deberg_1990]

Ventura MUST fight to keep us in this game tonight!

[C3HIEF3S]

High pitch count already. Doesn't even have an out. Just what we need.

[Great Expectations]

I want the pissed off cocky Ventura back. I was worried he wouldn't be as good with the nice guy attitude.

[ChiTown]

Our SP has been a steaming pile of dogshit

[baitism]

Game 7 hockey time, I guess.

[C3HIEF3S]

His stuff looks good, he's just missing the plate. Then he's coming in and Texas is drilling him.

Then he gets unlucky with shit like that.

[GloryDayz]

Wow, this team can fucking hit!

[Sassy Squatch]

Wow. This is about as bad as you can start.

[stonedstooge]

I want the pissed off cocky Ventura back. I was worried he wouldn't be as good with the nice guy attitude.

He's got to be angry at this age to pitch well

[lewdog]

Ok, can I start to worry about our Starting pitching now???

[siberian khatru]

Christ this shit has got to stop

[SPchief]

This is not an ideal start

[Why Not?]

Ok, can I start to worry about our Starting pitching now???

Big time

[petegz28]

another terrible start by our rotation

[alnorth]

Ok, can I start to worry about our Starting pitching now???

yes, you may. Not apocalyptically, but "worry" is fine

[wazu]

Ha! Fielder

[C3HIEF3S]

Great.

[Reerun_KC]

The hitting clinic continues. Tejas just abusing

[baitism]

Might as well put in a position players for the rest of the game.

[Deberg_1990]

Would this be our first series loss if we lose tonight?

[GloryDayz]

Ok, can I start to worry about our Starting pitching now???

Yes.. Yes you can!

[Discuss Thrower]

WELL THERE'S AN OUT AT EVERY BASE

[Blankey]

0 fucking outs

[lewdog]

yes, you may. Not apocalyptically, but "worry" is fine

What if I feel like going full Pete?

[stonedstooge]

Would this be our first series loss if we lose tonight?

Another game tomorrow

[Discuss Thrower]

Yeah Phys, I don't think Ventura is going 7 innings tonight.

[Sassy Squatch]

Watching Fielder run...

[petegz28]

Would this be our first series loss if we lose tonight?

it's a 4 game series..this is game 3, we won game 2 last night..do the math

[C3HIEF3S]

Now roll one up and get out of this with this game still in reach here.

[GloryDayz]

26 pitches, 1 out, bases loaded!!

[Strongside]

Our rotation absolutely BLOWS right now.

The fact that we're sitting in 1st place is incredible.

One of two things will happen. Either the starting rotation picks it up and becomes serviceable and this team will be incredible, or the starting rotation keeps up this unsustainable pace and the wheels fall off. We could legitimately miss the playoffs with this rotation if things don't change. Regardless of how good our offense, defense and bullpen are.

That's close to full Pete.

I'm almost getting there myself.

[d3c0y55]

26 pitches, 1 out, bases loaded!!

NOPE

[C3HIEF3S]

Royals good.
Royals starting pitching bad.

[GloryDayz]

He went!

[Kidd Lex]

Ok, can I start to worry about our Starting pitching now???

Not yet bother - hang in there

[Great Expectations]

Wow, this team can fucking hit!

They mash balls thrown right down the middle.

[C3HIEF3S]

One more Yo.

[Molitoth]

Would this be our first series loss if we lose tonight?

I think we lost the twins series.

[ChiTown]

Two HUGE K's!!

[C3HIEF3S]

I think we lost the twins series.

Yep.

[lewdog]

Not yet bother - hang in there

You take your crown and coke with Prozac tonight?

[stonedstooge]

STILL IN IT BOYS

[Kidd Lex]

it's a 4 game series..this is game 3, we won game 2 last night..do the math

He will probably start a shitty math thread now after this revelation

[C3HIEF3S]

HAHA, fuckers we are in this one still

[petegz28]

well damage limited...good snag by infante

[ChiTown]

Phew!!!

[kcchiefsus]

Every member of the rotation deserves a kick in the balls every start until they get their shit together.

[SPchief]

I'll take it

[GloryDayz]

Wow, we're lucky to get out of that with only 2 put on us!

YV better go soak that arm!

[Molitoth]

Well at least the game isn't out of reach like I thought it was going to be after that shit.

[alnorth]

That could have been worse. Ventura actually looked decent the last couple batters

[GloryDayz]

They mash balls thrown right down the middle.

We should too.. And now's our chance...

[Deberg_1990]

it's a 4 game series..this is game 3, we won game 2 last night..do the math

4-3 = 2 ?

[mr. tegu]

Whew. Almost all good pitchers are best gotten in the first inning. Lucky to only give up two. Our defensive reputation saved one.

[petegz28]

FTR we have lost 1 series with on to be finished in a make up game later in the year

[LoneWolf]

Well, could have been much worse. He looked to be hitting his spots much better the last few batters.

Royals got this.

[Great Expectations]

He showed a little swagger walking off the field. Maybe he will throw with some emotion for the rest of the game.

31 pitches isn't too far off from his 2 inning pitch projection. Maybe he can go 6 now.

[C3HIEF3S]

Need Ventura to pitch to contact for the rest of this one and get us some innings. Not gonna be easy in that place.

[Kidd Lex]

You take your crown and coke with Prozac tonight?

Seven or water (or more crown) - these are my only crown mixers

Not drinking any more - or any less cymbal tap

The Royals have options - the young guys like our young hitters will go through slumps but they both have electric repertoires - they just need to let the mental skills catch up consistently to the physical skills

[Discuss Thrower]

Obesity Thrower update:

Got three cookies: Snickerdoodle, M&M and chocolate chunk.

[Great Expectations]

Morales was looking to tie the game.

[petegz28]

that was a swing last night...

[alnorth]

Strike zone is small tonight

[lewdog]

Strike zone is small tonight

Very small. As small as Pete's.............

[C3HIEF3S]

There you go Gordo!

[petegz28]

twins clowning the tigers 6-0

[Mr. Laz]

way to milk the count and get that walk

[GloryDayz]

Strike zone is small tonight

Well then, we should smack the shit out of the ball then..

[C3HIEF3S]

Damn it Sal.

[GloryDayz]

Ugh!

[penbrook]

Fucking Perez is the new Butler

[baitism]

Good job, Billy.

[Molitoth]

Salvy butler

[petegz28]

Phys calling a pitch that's a foot off the plate barely a miss and fuck off with these dp's, salvy, tf?

[Al Bundy]

Sometimes Perez is awful to watch on offense...

[ChiTown]

Ugh, fuck

[mr. tegu]

Billy, oops, I mean Salvy, needs to listen to Hud.

[lewdog]

Sometimes Perez is awful to watch on offense...

Can't say I disagree with you there. He has absolutely no approach most of the time. Just free swinging.

[petegz28]

Sometimes Perez is awful to watch on offense...

unfortunately more times than not...he has a good bat but no patience

[Sassy Squatch]

Perez reminding me why I get so pissed at his ABs.

[Molitoth]

Sometimes Perez is awful to watch on offense...

Most of the time. He had that little hot streak a few weeks ago but he's back to looking in playoff form.

[LoneWolf]

Fucking Perez is the new Butler

penbrook is the new Blackbob. Shitty poster with shit for brains.

[petegz28]

plus salvy is ever bit as slow as butler

[Discuss Thrower]

the fuck

[C3HIEF3S]

Terrible luck there.

[stonedstooge]

GET OUT OF HIS WAY OMAR

[C3HIEF3S]

Ventura's luck can't stay this bad. It just can't.

[stonedstooge]

Christ, here we go again

[Discuss Thrower]

The ball must look like the size of my testicles to Shin Soo-Choo right now

[mr. tegu]

Sheesh. Just perfect placement on those ground balls.

[lewdog]

I have a Delino DeShields autographed baseball. He seems hot. Shopping on ebay for $20 after tonight.

[petegz28]

these guys can't do any wrong..ball touches bat and it's a hit no matter where or how soft it's hit

[GloryDayz]

Fuck.... Our starters just aren't getting it done. Nobody fears them..

[lewdog]

The ball must look like the size of my testicles to Shin Soo-Choo right now

That must be very uncomfortable to have to deal with. My sympathy.

[Great Expectations]

Lucky ass hits

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Choo owns us.

[petegz28]

great play, moose

[C3HIEF3S]

Defense. One more.

[GloryDayz]

Nice... Rep to Moose...

[stonedstooge]

HAHA. THAT'S BETTER

[SPchief]

NICE

[LoneWolf]

The ball must look like the size of my testicles to Shin Soo-Choo right now

He does look like he is squinting a lot at the plate. :p

[Discuss Thrower]

Moose sez "Fuck you Joboo, I do it myself"

[Kidd Lex]

That was the shit!!!

[lewdog]

Wow, not letting DeShields get home on that is impressive. Quick turns!!!

[petegz28]

****.... Our starters just aren't getting it done. Nobody fears them..

dude they have 1 hard hit ball this game..everything else has been lucky, seeing-eye, bullshit

[Discuss Thrower]

Pair of thumbs on that guy/gal are gross.
SHIT

[mr. tegu]

BP curveball. Hud called it too.

[SPchief]

Shit, should have just gone after him

[Discuss Thrower]

Welp

[C3HIEF3S]

There's a hard hit ball.

[Kidd Lex]

Lew I'm worried

[ChiTown]

Jesus, what a fucking waste. Nice pitching, Yo

[PHOG]

:BLVD:

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Sigh...

[lewdog]

Well that was nice. Serve him one.

[Discuss Thrower]

Pair of thumbs on that guy/gal are gross.
SHIT

Wow, I've never noticed that. Some fucking Mos Eisley cantina alien shit right there.

[penbrook]

Our SP is so fucking bad

[Strongside]

That pitch is as much on Perez as it is on Ventura. No way he should have called for a curveball there.

Horrid.

[petegz28]

wtf did salvy even call that?

[Unsmooth-Moment]

Our starting pitching save for Volquez this year has been awful.

[GloryDayz]

OK, time to take a walk and try to prepare myself for us not being able to take advantage of this 6" x 6" strike zone like they are.

[Molitoth]

I may do something else tonight.

[Kidd Lex]

Why even put anything near the fucking strike zone there 1-2 with first open and Prince free swinging. It's like Ace has shit for brains - fuck

[petegz28]

That pitch is as much on Perez as it is on Ventura. No way he should have called for a curveball there.

Horrid.

this

[Great Expectations]

2 home runs and a double off the wall are plenty of hard hits thru 2 innings.

[LoneWolf]

Our SP is so fucking bad

Almost as bad as your embedding skills.

[CoMoChief]

Our 1 and 2 starters have to get their fucking acts together. This is bullshit. Not acceptable...Their heads are rattled and they're not pitching worth a shit.

[lewdog]

Why even put anything near the fucking strike zone there 1-2 with first open and Prince free swinging. It's like Ace has shit for brains - fuck

We already know ACE doesn't have brains. Salvy has to be doing a better call there.

[siberian khatru]

Can we invoke a Lemon Law clause on Ventura's contract?

[Why Not?]

Our starting pitching save for Volquez this year has been awful.

Volquez hasn't exactly been Cy Young himself, of late. There is one starting pitcher I trust.....Chris Young

[petegz28]

3 games straight we've allowed runs in the 1st inning

[Reerun_KC]

Tejas just raking at the plate. They have crushed it all series.

[C3HIEF3S]

Volquez hasn't exactly been Cy Young himself, of late. There is one starting pitcher I trust.....Chris Young

He's been dealing with a blister his last two starts though so he gets a little bit of a pass from my end. Everyone else? Negative.

[lewdog]

What are these jokers laughing about!? Get in the game mode you turds!!!!


(full pete)

[Why Not?]

He's been dealing with a blister his last two starts though so he gets a little bit of a pass from my end. Everyone else? Negative.

That's true.

[PHOG]

Eiland (sp): Ok kiddos let's bring the pitches inside..FIRST!

[Great Expectations]

At what point do we start giving Colon regular playing time at second?

[cosmo20002]

Ventura: 2015 current ERA: 5.86

Who would have thought? :( :shake: :facepalm:

[petegz28]

Last night i never felt out of it, tonight not so much

[penbrook]

At what point do we start giving Colon regular playing time at second?

Infante is the Royals leader in RBIs from last year

[C3HIEF3S]

Infante is the league leader in RBIs from last year

huh

[cosmo20002]

Infante is the league leader in RBIs from last year

Is this a riddle?

[PHOG]

Infante is the league leader in RBIs from last year
Wut?:spock:

[lewdog]

Infante is the league leader in RBIs from last year

Would you like some more red tonight?

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Infante is the league leader in RBIs from last year

[ChiTown]

This is not very fun.

[ChiTown]

This is not very fun.

But double plays are!o:-)

[ROYC75]

Damn, we be off to a nice start on this one ....... Splash!


Still time to wake up or sink farther.

[Great Expectations]

With Infante and Pualo leading off last inning we didn't have much of a chance. We need a rally here.

[SPchief]

Ok, Yo looked a lot better there. Lets score a couple and get some momentum

[KevB]

Just got on, so maybe this has already been discussed....but looks like Kluber is back. Holy hell. 8 ip, 1 h, 0 runs, 0 walks and 18 Ks!

That's one of the better regular season performances of all time I'd think.

[penbrook]

The Royals now don't know how to steal bases

[PHOG]

Base-running coach...did we lose ours?

[petegz28]

The Royals now don't know how to steal bases

this has to be drugs talking

[petegz28]

wtf was that?

[alnorth]

No Hud, tonight that was never a strike

[petegz28]

just like last night with this same guy...strike 3 called a ball then he's on base

[Discuss Thrower]

With the way this series has gone I would have sworn that was an inside-the-parker

[penbrook]

wtf was that?

That was a ball. Salvy framed it good

[petegz28]

fox trax says you're suckin' down some corn liquor

[PHOG]

Oh man, pay back will be good. That was a strike...

[siberian khatru]

I'd swear DeShields has been on base every inning this series

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[SPchief]

Derp

[penbrook]

We're back to sucking ��

[lewdog]

We're back to sucking ��

When weren't we tonight?

[Hootie]

doesn't matter if we lose 20-0 or 3-2 ... but it would be nice if Yordano or Duffy would figure shit out and figure shit out soon

[Kidd Lex]

Twinkies fans have to be excited about tonight's developments thus far

[petegz28]

same location as deshields...this ump crew sucks

[GloryDayz]

That late night game in Detroit really killed us.

[PHOG]

I'd swear DeShields has been on base every inning this series
Hit him in the hand, put him out for multiple weeks, and act like it was an honest mistake...what could happen?

[ChiTown]

I'd swear DeShields has been on base every inning this series

It's awful. This kid has NOTHING but legs. We have gifted him a career in these 3 games.

[petegz28]

the umps gifted him multiple times last night, not us

[Three7s]

Man, our starting rotation is complete crap.
