I'll replace that picture with the usual stuff tomorrow afternoon.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure the game is on FSKC at 7:10 pm

[eDave]

2 minutes late dude. Problems at home?

2 minutes late dude. Problems at home?

1 minute late, the official time when game threads can be posted is 12:01 am. Oh, and I was distracted by Ned's greatness. I'm watching his press conference replay now

FUCK BOSTON!!!! :rockon:

[C3HIEF3S]

Last year Boston was mediocre and whooped our ass. Lets not repeat that.

Last year Boston was mediocre and whooped our ass. Lets not repeat that.

They really suck right now. Terrible chemistry and very inconsistent pitching

[Amnorix]

Worst $175 million or whatever the hell team evah! Pretty amazing that with the payroll they have had they have flat out sucked for 3 out of the last 4 years. That fourth year though -- go figure how the hell that happened...

Shoulda kept Theo

Well, Aaron Crow certainly won't be pitching to Daniel Nava with a three-run lead and the bases loaded... so that helps.

They also can't try to go lefty on lefty vs. David Ortiz with Tim Collins, which also helps...

Even with a make-shift rotation, the Royals should be able to handle this series pretty easily.

[Hootie]

Pino is the same guy as Blanton / Guthrie / Vargas / Young to an extent.

As long as he throws strikes and keeps the ball in the yard, our defense will make him look a lot better than he is.

If our offense scores 4 or 5 runs, we should be ok. Fortunately, our offense is on a nice little hot streak right now.

[Just Passin' By]

The same team that tried "closer by committee" thought "Hey, we don't need a #1 or #2 starter. We can win with a bunch of #4s and #5s. We'll just pay them like aces, and that'll do the trick."

You've got to love that sort of stubbornness.

[Hootie]

hey Patriots faggots ...

go talk about your Boston teams on a Boston board

I actually like Pino a little bit more than Blanton/Guthrie/Vargas from a talent prospective ... He has looked to have pretty good raw stuff in the outings I've seen this year. Good breaking pitch and good fastball command.

Take that crap somewhere else. In a fucking heartbeat would i take an actual championship surrounded by three shitty seasons compared to the championships my teams have never won in my lifetime.

But by them mentioning how overpaid the Boston roster is, we can then bring up the fact they owe Rick Porcello $25 million/year for the next 4 years.

Yup. That's right. That bum Porcello got a $100 million contract.

LMAO

[Just Passin' By]

Given that this is a Red Sox/Royals thread, and the Red Sox are a Boston team, this is weak trolling, even for you.

4-7 with a 5.29 ERA

Meanwhile, Lester's struggling to adapt to the National League, but still has an ERA under 4. LMAO

Boras factor is the only thing I can think of.

[WhawhaWhat]

Same reason he didn't get picked until 27th in the first round. He wanted a lot of money and he got it too.

Pitching is expensive, he got the market rate. If he pitches at his past average he will earn that contract.

[Hootie]

**** no.

I'd hate to have a guy who flipped Cashner for Rizzo and then built a team featuring:

Rizzo
Russell/Baez
Castro
Bryant
Schwarber
Soler
Fowler
Montero

on offense!

That would suck!

[Hootie]

http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/stats/_/id/29966/rick-porcello

Porcello has had 1 "good" year his entire career and that just so happened to be last year ... and even then, he was basically about a #3. Like a shittier Ervin Santana.

[Hootie]

he's like a very, very, very shitty right handed version of Mark Buehrle

he's durable, that's his pro

his con? He's not good.

But congrats, you have another 4 years of Jeremy Guthrie at $25M / per.

!

[Hootie]

he was so good that, in the postseason, Detroit used him out of the bullpen because he wasn't deemed good enough to start LMAO

$100M contract !

Wow. That makes Boston's contract to John Lackey years ago look like a bargain LMAO

I had NO idea they signed him to a $100M extension LMAO

[Hootie]

oh, only 4 years $82.5M (just looked it up)

what a steal !

would you guys rather have 4 years of Porcello at $4M (total) or 4 years of Chris Young at $8M (total)?

Honestly?

Give me Chris Young. Hahaha.

But that is at $1M per year. Imagine extending Vargas to another $82.5M LMAO

[duncan_idaho]

Pitching is expensive, he got the market rate. If he pitches at his past average he will earn that contract.

$20 million/year is the market rate for a legit front of the rotation starter.

A King Felix, Kershaw, Price, Hamels, Cueto, Wainwright, Jon Lester, etc.

It is nowhere close to the market rate for a back-end guy who doesn't strike out anyone and who - if he has a good defense behind him and good BABIP luck - tops out as a solid No. 3 type starter.

The Red Sox significantly overpaid for a pitcher who has only posted one full season ERA under 4.00 in his career while playing in a pitcher's park in a weaker division, who had a 4.51 career ERA entering his contract season and a career 5.45 K/9 rate.

It's honestly one of the dumbest contracts I've ever seen.

[duncan_idaho]

He's a white, tall, skinny Jair Jurrjens. Control guy who doesn't strike out anybody and who needs good BABIP luck to be good at all.

Chris Young says hello.

[BWillie]

I really don't think Boston is as bad as we think they are, they aren't good, but it won't be a push over. I mean, they aren't the Brewers I don't think.

[C3HIEF3S]

I really don't think Boston is as bad as we think they are, they aren't good, but it won't be a push over. I mean, they aren't the Brewers I don't think.

They aren't that bad, but they aren't much better.
Everything about that team right now is off of the tracks. Is Sandoval going to be back in the lineup tonight after he was caught on instagram during a game?

[BWillie]

They aren't that bad, but they aren't much better.
Everything about that team right now is off of the tracks. Is Sandoval going to be back in the lineup tonight after he was caught on instagram during a game?

Not sure, but I don't quite understand the hate Sandoval is getting. Saying he's not living up to his contract and is playing just oh so bad. Did they think they were getting Barry Bonds or somethings?

He's batting .270 with .734 OPS. Last year he hit .279 with a .739 OPS. His OPS had declined every year since 2010. He's an overweight 3B who won't age well but he's playing to his recent level of production, for the most part.

[Demonpenz]

Pablo Sandavals cholestoral is higher than his batting average.

[duncan_idaho]

I really don't think Boston is as bad as we think they are, they aren't good, but it won't be a push over. I mean, they aren't the Brewers I don't think.

Their rotation is an epic disaster, and the offense hasn't been nearly as good as expected.

Betts and Castillo are major disappointments so far, Ortiz has fallen off considerably, Sandoval has just been OK, and they have a lot of aging/declining guys in general.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

In all fairness, they were a bit of a disaster last year too, but still managed to take 6 of 7 from us during the season.

So I'll just hold my tongue till we get the first couple under our belt . . . . .

[Just Passin' By]

Their rotation is an epic disaster, and the offense hasn't been nearly as good as expected.

Betts and Castillo are major disappointments so far, Ortiz has fallen off considerably, Sandoval has just been OK, and they have a lot of aging/declining guys in general.

Betts is a 22 year old converting to CF and hitting .257 while learning on the job. I think his situation is more a matter of unrealistic expectations than him being a truly disappointing player. Swihart's catching in the bigs before he was ready because of the injuries at the position, too, so I wouldn't criticize him. However,

Ortiz
Napoli
Ramirez, post-shoulder
Castillo
Craig
Victorino
Sandoval, in the field
Nava

Have all either been injured or big disappointments, to date. The only players in the lineup that are really getting it done are Pedroia, Holt (Utility player and semi-starter) and Bogaerts.

And, dear God, you are so right about that starting rotation. The bullpen is thin, too.

[AndChiefs]

Betts has been hot the last few days. Hopefully can hold him down.

[ChiefsCountry]

Sold out for tomorrow. SRO for tonight and Sunday.

[lewdog]

This makes me laugh hysterically!

Not saying he's bad or has been a bust, but he hasn't played to expectations after having a great month or so in his debut last year and a great spring.

People were expecting him to be an elite top of the lineup hitter immediately, and he has not been.

[MTG#10]

In for the win. Fuck you Boston.

[BWillie]

Would be really really really nice to have a back up catcher so poor Salvy can have a day off.

[BigCatDaddy]

Any reason why Pena isnt the backup? I have no idea about his defense but OPsing 830 in Omaha.

[gblowfish]

If Infante doesn't have shoulder surgery in the off season, he should be beaten to death. Weak ass throw. Just weak.

[baitism]

inconclusive

[baitism]

bullshit

[lewdog]

Fever rooting for safe.

[Hootie]

The mlb replay system is fucking horrible. He was safe. That should've taken 4 seconds

[Hootie]

Seriously. That should've taken 4 seconds

[lewdog]

Slower than Billy B.

[gblowfish]

Club this guy like a baby seal...

[gblowfish]

Where are all the rich fuckers in the front row tonight? Must be gorging on the buffet still.

[Hootie]

This pitcher looks nasty. We might struggle

[gblowfish]

Bob Hamilton Plumbing....
He made me kill my family....

[Al Bundy]

A lot of Red Sox fans at the park.

[kc rush]

I hate that fat fuck

[tk13]

Napoli always seems to hammer us. Tough situation here.

[Al Bundy]

Ok.. so this Pino loser can get the fuck off the team...

[tk13]

Well he didn't hammer it, but he got the job done.

[GloryDayz]

That sucks...

[Hootie]

Gay

[Al Bundy]

Pino just needs to get 7 innings here...

[gblowfish]

Johann Pino....
He made me Kill Bob Hamilton.....

[GloryDayz]

Unless something changes the throwing Pinto won't make 3!

[Al Bundy]

Pino needs to just wear this game and never be here again.

[jimidollar]

Nurse, note the time of death.

[kc rush]

This sucks. Throwing meatballs.

[baitism]

Hopefully, this forces the Royals hand to go get a starter.

[tk13]

Well we woke the Red Sox up.

[Hootie]

I can see why he spent his first 11 years in the minors this guy fucking sucks

[lewdog]

I didn't expect two wins from Blanton and Pino.

[tk13]

Hopefully, this forces the Royals hand to go get a starter.

Starters don't matter. Or so I'm told. Herrera, Davis and Holland can just pitch 6 innings a night.

[ChiTown]

Yeah, lets not let him pitch anymore. **** me running!

[gblowfish]

Welp, I gots stuff to do....

[Blankey]

Put Selena Gomez on the mound please

[GloryDayz]

Wow... This guy is another Duffy!

[lewdog]

If the Royals choose a night to get blown out, it's usually a Friday night.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Is Rios a really terrible fielder or is it just that he's not as good as the rest of the Royals defense?

[Chromatic]

"Mr. Pino! I thought you were starting tonight."
"I did."
"Oh, sorry. I didn't turn the game on until the 3rd inning."

[lewdog]

Wow... This guy is another Duffy!


Duffy is a career minor leaguer???

[Molitoth]

If the Royals choose a night to get blown out, it's usually a Friday night.

Against an ALeast team.

Pino can eat a shit sandwich.

[Hootie]

I'd love to never see this fucking guy again

[Molitoth]

Hopefully, this forces the Royals hand to go get a starter.

This was my initial positive thought.

[Al Bundy]

Pino has given the Royals a "limited" chance of winning...

[GloryDayz]

Keep walking Pinto, you fucked-up this interview badly!

[tk13]

Allard Baird is doing the Chris Farley Chippendale's dance in Dayton's luxury box right now.

[lewdog]

Is Rios a really terrible fielder or is it just that he's not as good as the rest of the Royals defense?

Not sure but he seems very fucking slow in the field.

[Molitoth]

I'm already very fucking pissed. Not going to watch this shit.

[lewdog]

I'm already very fucking pissed. Not going to watch this shit.

Have a great night.

[Three7s]

Well, this one's over. The one thing I really can't stand about Hud is how he talks up scrub players like Pino. A spade is a spade and Pino is trash.

[GloryDayz]

Duffy is a career minor leaguer???

Evidently so is this guy. Your point? Either that or somebody needs to tell him he's not pitching BP right now.

[KChiefs1]

Pino just needs to get 7 innings here...


His pitch count will be ginormous.

[Chromatic]

Ken Shamrock vs Kimbo Slice is on Spike TV tonight if anyone is interested. That freak show is bound to be more entertaining than this freak show.

[lewdog]

Not sure how you can equate Duffy to this guy but maybe you're just drunk.

[Al Bundy]

Ohh well.. pitch him 130. He shouldn't be any kind of factor for this team.

[kcchiefsus]

Fuck Ventura and Duffy for putting us in situations like this. They are both vaginas.

[Molitoth]

Ken Shamrock vs Kimbo Slice is on Spike TV tonight if anyone is interested. That freak show is bound to be more entertaining than this freak show.

Haha nice, I will watch that.

[gblowfish]

Ryno: Hard to find some empty seats here tonight....


Hey Ryno, LOOK IN THE FRONT ROW behind HOME PLATE!!!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Well, this one's over.

Yeah, no way they could ever score five runs against the mighty Red Sox.

[Three7s]

Ryno: Hard to find some empty seats here tonight....


Hey Ryno, LOOK IN THE FRONT ROW behind HOME PLATE!!!
It won't be long before it's half-full.

[Chromatic]

Gotta get something going here or else the game is probably lost.

[KevB]

Can be frustrating watching Sal swing at most everything he can reach

[kc rush]

Everyone on their phone

[GloryDayz]

Drinking water, so not drunk. The fact that both serve-up meatballs might be where I'm seeing the similarity.

Well at least I know this team .. As soon as I saw this guys stuff and realized you had to be patient against him .. I knew we were fucked

[BigMeatballDave]

He was playing well before he was injured.

[Three7s]

You would think all the Royals had to do was simply sit on the fastball. He hardly ever throws breaking pitches. It's against pitcher like this that the Royals just go into a shell against.

[GloryDayz]

Fuck this "first woman in the majors" ad.

[Hootie]

Nice to see that Gilfoyle is a Royals fan

[Chiefs Pantalones]

It would suck to pay top dollar to go to a game Pino was pitching. My condolences to all who bought tickets in advance.

[kstater]

WTF is taking so long?

[kstater]

Jesus if it takes this long it's not clear and convincing.

[Hootie]

No one is laughing at this segment? Lol ... These guys are all drunk

[Hootie]

It would be fun hanging out in that dugout box

[lewdog]

No one is laughing at this segment? Lol ... These guys are all drunk

I thought it was good. Similar shtick to last year with razzing the 3rd base coach and the umps.

[Three7s]

No one is laughing at this segment? Lol ... These guys are all drunk
Butterfield is probably thinking, "Why me?"

[Three7s]

Royals need to do a better job of attacking his fastball. He's challenging every hitter.

[kc rush]

Thank god for whisky. This would be miserable otherwise.

[lewdog]

Thank god for whisky. This would be miserable otherwise.

What kind?

Don't worry sports fans. I smell a comeback!

Tonight it's Corsair Triple Smoked.

I keep meaning to buy that but always wind up getting something else. How is it?

[C3HIEF3S]

Not in for this one. That's why we're losing. Obviously.

[kc rush]

I keep meaning to buy that but always wind up getting something else. How is it?

Really tasty. I drink it with a splash of water. Starts with a hint of sweet, then the smoky flavor. Pretty smooth.

Tried it when I went to the Chiefs Titans game a couple years ago in Nashville. I was glad when the liquor store near my house started carrying it.

[Nightfyre]

Guys, the first run was acting as a point of resistance for the team. Now that they have surpassed it, they will obviously go on a run scoring spree. If they should fall below one run, however, they will go on a terrible negative run streak.

[kc rush]

Finally got that fat fuck out.

So given Infantes recent hot streak how long before Ned puts him in the two hole? 3 games over/under.

Crap. Great play.

Cain didn't appear to be giving his all there. Phenomenal play by Bogarts, but I think Cain typically beats that throw.

I think the dumbest part about the chart wasn't that Pete originally posted it (it was still fucking dumb then, don't discount that), but that everyone told him how fucking stupid it was and he updated it then posted it again.

Team has given up on this particular came...

Cain could still be hurting from Milwaukee when he crashed into the wall. Things like that aren't things that the fans know about, typically.

I'll catch tomorrow's game. Take care to those still in here :thumb:

Is Rodriquez throwing his slider tonight, or is he just going with two pitches? I just got back from dinner, so I'm sorry if this has been addressed already.

He's thrown a few sliders and changeups. Mostly just fastballs. It's a wonder to me why the Royals aren't just sitting on his 80% fastball rate.

Thanks. The kid shows promise, but he's got to improve his slider and use it more often.

He's gotten two strike outs with that slider on Esky and Rios and I stopped watching in the fourth

That helps explain his success tonight. He's had 3 excellent outings when he's used that slider, and he got the shit beat out of him against the Blue Jays when he wouldn't throw it.

[Hootie]

He's the guy the Royals struggle against. Elite fastball, terrible command. We don't take pitches.

Must gif up rob riggle listening to random chick.

Hopefully he'll high five John Lamb as he passes him on his way down from Omaha.
