****Official Royals @ Houston Gamethread 7/1****

[SPchief]

Volquez on the mound trying to avoid the sweep. Sorry Lew, have pants on this evening, no pants didn't work the first 2 games. Let's do this shit

[C3HIEF3S]

Take one game in this series and cap off a good road trip.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Gonna be a long ass game if Velasquez goes more than a few innings. Dude is painfully slow in the mound. Intriguing talent though

[AndChiefs]

Heading to the stadium now.

[C3HIEF3S]

Heading to the stadium now.

Salvage one for us, please.

[lewdog]

Not sure what kind of pants but man I am disappoint.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Can the Royals hit some home runs over that stupid left field wall tonight? It's not that hard.

[stonedstooge]

WE GOT THIS

[C3HIEF3S]

Is their train horn broken?

How many consecutive times do they need to blow it before the game?

[C3HIEF3S]

Alright boys, play good baseball :)

[baitism]

Way to start it, Escobar...

[ChiefsCountry]

Nice job Cain.

[C3HIEF3S]

Cain limps to 3rd on that LMAO

[Blankey]

hey look another potentially meaningless two out hit

[SPchief]

BOOM

[lewdog]

He looks a bit hurt.

[C3HIEF3S]

THANK YOU STUPID PARK

[ChiefsCountry]

Cuban Breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Blankey]

lol

[C3HIEF3S]

That ball is out in exactly one park.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Can the Royals hit some home runs over that stupid left field wall tonight? It's not that hard.

Thank you.

[lewdog]

[stonedstooge]

AND JUST LIKE THAT. BOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[Al Bundy]

[Al Bundy]

That ball is out in exactly one park.

Probably a double here.

[lewdog]

Hey, let me just shoot the ball to the opposite field. Oops, I mean shoot the ball over the wall.

[C3HIEF3S]

Probably a double here.

It's probably caught, after looking at it again.

[Al Bundy]

It's probably caught, after looking at it again.

Maybe, depending on if it is windy at all.

[C3HIEF3S]

Maybe, depending on if it is windy at all.

Yep, a lot of variables.

[PHOG]

Nice opening inning, keep it up. :thumb:

[C3HIEF3S]

Oh, come on Esky. By no means is that an easy play, but it needs to be made.

[Al Bundy]

Ohh.

[SPchief]

Derp. Wait, that's NOT an error? Thanks Houston scorer

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Escobar needs to get his head in the game. First he strikes out swinging at a pitch 14 feet outside, then he boots a grounder.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Derp. Wait, that's NOT an error? Thanks Houston scorer

You think he gets him?

[SPchief]

Escobar needs to get his head in the game. First he strikes out swinging at a pitch 14 feet outside, then he boots a grounder.

Yep, clearly he's thinking about something else.

[SPchief]

You think he gets him?

He atleast gets one

[C3HIEF3S]

Sick pitch, now turn two.

[Rasputin]

Striiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike Out

[C3HIEF3S]

You think he gets him?

He had a chance at second.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

He had a chance at second.

Didn't look like it on the replay.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

All-star defense

[SPchief]

Filth. Absolute filth

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Valbuena/Carter at 4 and 5 is a fucking joke

[C3HIEF3S]

The movement on that pitch...

[SPchief]

That is just sick

[Rasputin]

That's 2 K let's get another K

[C3HIEF3S]

Way to pitch out of it.

[stonedstooge]

w00t

[Dartgod]

Whew!!

[siberian khatru]

Attababy, Volky

[PHOG]

nice job!

[ChiefsCountry]

That piece of shit park is helping us tonight.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

That piece of shit park is helping us tonight.

It's beautiful

[cabletech94]

rios better bring it.

[C3HIEF3S]

Heads up play, Gordo!

[Rasputin]

Flash Gordon

[cabletech94]

rios!

[C3HIEF3S]

That's a nice swing there

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Ugh. Game over. Velasquez isn't ready. Need Feldman back.

[cabletech94]

his name is rios and he dances on the saaaaaaaaaand!

[siberian khatru]

Must be something wrong with my computer. It just said Alex Rios did something positive.

[cabletech94]

altuve is only 5 feet tall.

[Dartgod]

Must be something wrong with my computer. It just said Alex Rios did something positive.

Omar struck out on a pitch way outside the strike zone. You should be recalibrated now.

[Rasputin]

Nice steel Rios

[C3HIEF3S]

Today's Hud quote

"He looked very runnerish over at first"

[Rasputin]

Omar struck out on a pitch way outside the strike zone. You should be recalibrated now.


We swing at the out of zone pitches.

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Good GOD! Speed it up, Vincent.

[C3HIEF3S]

Holy fuck, Volquez. Not fair.

[Molitoth]

OMG that pitch was NASTY.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Volquez' 2-seamer is looking extra nasty tonight.

[C3HIEF3S]

Volquez.. omg.

[PHOG]

Warning track power.

[ChiefsCountry]

Crazy you can tell KC is under the gun tonight weatherwise. Not much posting going on.

[C3HIEF3S]

Crazy you can tell KC is under the gun tonight weatherwise. Not much posting going on.

It's because we're winning. Nothing for the bitchers to bitch about.




..and maybe due to the weather :)

[PHOG]

Nice going Volquez.:thumb:

And also hoping everyone is OK from the weather.

[Rasputin]

KKKKK

[lewdog]

Crazy you can tell KC is under the gun tonight weatherwise. Not much posting going on.

It's because we're winning. And lewdog is busy with laundry. :facepalm:

[SPchief]

Just a hair out front

[lewdog]

Damn. Close. Salvy looking better lately.

[SPchief]

Come on Salvy, embrace it. Take the walk. They're giving it to you.



Fucking bullshit

[Bob Dole]

Not even a strike. Damn

[Rasputin]

Stay in the game Perez can't get you tossed.

[SPchief]

You don't give that call with a catcher up. Straight bullshit

[Al Bundy]

Yikes... blue better fucking the give the Royals that pitch.

[PHOG]

Bullshit ump.

[C3HIEF3S]

Never seen Perez do that.
Had a case, but we can't ever afford for him to get tossed.

[KCUnited]

Blue had zero idea what was being said.

[lewdog]

WOW. Terrible call. Only because he's Salvy did he not get tossed arguing that long.

[ChiefsCountry]

Where in the hell is Pete! The one time he could go off on the umps and have legit reason to do so.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Salvador Perez should have an asterisk next to the "4" in the BB column on his stats this year.

[lewdog]

Blue had zero idea what was being said.

I was thinking the same. Ump was just continually saying, "what did you say?"

ROFL

[Molitoth]

Ump owes us one.

[kstater]

Blue had zero idea what was being said.

I'm pretty sure he knows puto

[SPchief]

Good news is the zone should be nice and wide this half inning

[KCUnited]

Sal deserves all the Everglades.

[C3HIEF3S]

I was thinking the same. Ump was just continually saying, "what did you say?"

ROFL

LMAO LMAO LMAO

How have I never seen this before?

[kstater]

What a joke of a stadium

[Rasputin]

Gad dammnit

[Discuss Thrower]

fuck this cracker jack box of a stadium.

[C3HIEF3S]

stupid park comes into play again. Gtfo out of those shithole dimensions.

To make matters worse, the deep center field is going to be gone next year. Going to be 409 to center. Terrible park.

[Rasputin]

What a joke of a stadium

It has a Raiders esk feel to it.

[Molitoth]

Shit stadium. Scrubs batting .190 with 43 home runs.

Volq should have listened to salvy

[Dartgod]

fuck this cracker jack box of a stadium.

Meh, we have 3 runs instead of 1 because of it.

[Molitoth]

Every pop up I just assume is a home run. This is stupid

[C3HIEF3S]

"Hey, I think it would be a good idea to put a hill in the outfield of our new park!"

"Also, lets put a flagpole in-play on that hill!"

[Discuss Thrower]

Blue needs those coke bottles of his adjusted.

[Al Bundy]

Another ball 4 called strike 3. You need a prescription ump.

[PHOG]

Bats have gone quiet. (with the help of Blue the blind)

[C3HIEF3S]

No lead is safe vs these guys.

[kstater]

That one isn't really on the stadium

[Rasputin]

Gad Dammit

[Al Bundy]

Right down the middle.. that 6 or 7 of our guys would have missed and popped up.

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the bullpen is going to get some serious work tonight.

[C3HIEF3S]

Volquez's command is gone

[petegz28]

gee, got home just in time to see us blow it

[Al Bundy]

He is just about done for the night.

[lewdog]

Ummmmmm

[SPchief]

That's a shame

[KevB]

Astros up there taking monster hack after monster hack. Eddy has to be able to come inside.

[lewdog]

Losing command fast.

[Molitoth]

This is starting to suck

[Rasputin]

How many flees does their mascot have?

[C3HIEF3S]

Ouch.

[petegz28]

:facepalm: owned...just flat out getting owned

[PHOG]

Anyone warming up?

[Rasputin]

Fuck fuck fuck

[Al Bundy]

Volquez has officially shit the bed.. way to blow the lead.

[SPchief]

:facepalm: owned...just flat out getting owned

It's a tie game

[baitism]

Well, I hope we don't play them in October.

[Hootie]

Meh. What can you do?

[Hootie]

Volquez has officially shit the bed.. way to blow the lead.
Man. Altuve just ... Crushed that ball ... Right?

[Molitoth]

Game over

[Rasputin]

:Lin:

[Blankey]

Min lost, Det probably losing, oh well

[Al Bundy]

It's a tie game

Owned.... Volquez has completely shit the bed..

[C3HIEF3S]

Baseball has a nice way of getting your hopes up, then shooting them down.

[kstater]

Just quit. Season over

[Hootie]

That was 1 shitty ass 0-2 pitch

[lewdog]

He was losing command and had to start locating more over the plate.

[Hootie]

Down 2 with 12 outs. Not over losers

[siberian khatru]

Let's just get the hell out of Houston.

[Al Bundy]

Down 2 with 12 outs. Not over losers

The chances are slim... probably 1 in 100 that the Royals offense will wake up.

[C3HIEF3S]

Down 2 with 12 outs. Not over losers

LMAO

The complainers come out when we start losing just to say, "that's it game over"

[SPchief]

Down 2 with 12 outs. Not over losers

Bullshit, the sky is falling

[petegz28]

It's a tie game

how's that again?

[Hootie]

The chances are slim... probably 1 in 100 that the Royals offense will wake up.
1%, eh. I'd like for you to be the odds maker when I bet. I'd be a billionaire

[lewdog]

LMAO

The complainers come out when we start losing just to say, "that's it game over"

It's pretty insane how dead the game threads are through a Royals winning start to a game. I think these losers have alerts on their phone to sound the alarm once the Royals start losing so they can logon and post.

[SPchief]

Indians Carlos Carasco gave up his no hit bid in the bottom of the 9th 2 outs on an 0-2 count. He must not have cared that much

[Three7s]

I'm starting to hate how good the Astros are.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We're gonna win !








The Hot Dog eating contest.

[lewdog]

1%, eh. I'd like for you to be the odds maker when I bet. I'd be a billionaire

I'd just like Bundy to start thinking at a 6th grade level.

[lewdog]

Indians Carlos Carasco gave up his no hit bid in the bottom of the 9th 2 outs on an 0-2 count. He must not have cared that much

HE FUCKING QUIT!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

HE FUCKING QUIT!!!

Please. He was disinterested from the start.

[C3HIEF3S]

Leadoff base runner would be a nice start.

[SPchief]

HE FUCKING QUIT!!!

Obviously he wasn't trying

[lewdog]

Is that a horned owl???

[Al Bundy]

It is fun watching good starting pitching though.

[lewdog]

It is fun watching good starting pitching though.

Stayed tuned man. I think this Velasquez guy is about ready to quit.

[Al Bundy]

Stayed tuned man. I think this Velasquez guy is about ready to quit.

The Royals offense won't let him lose command though.

[C3HIEF3S]

shucks.

[Al Bundy]

Volquez was absolute shit tonight.

[kcchiefsus]

It is fun watching good starting pitching though.

Have to watch the other team for that, the Royals are allergic to good starting pitching.

[kstater]

Holy crap, matchup pitching.

[Deberg_1990]

Props to the Astros for the sweep!

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Man. Really hope Springer is ok. This may be the worst defensive outfield ever. Gattis/Santana/Tucker. Has me worried for the remainder of the game. Really missing Rasmus and Marisnick

[Al Bundy]

Man. Really hope Springer is ok. This may be the worst defensive outfield ever. Gattis/Santana/Tucker. Has me worried for the remainder of the game. Really missing Rasmus and Marisnick

I wouldn't worry about tonight.. the Royals are done swinging the bats.

[siberian khatru]

Hanging in there

[C3HIEF3S]

Sal has a 3-0 count.

Walk?

[SPchief]

SALVY WALK ALERT

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice mojo to start the inning

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Perez with two walks tonight, kind of. What a bizarre game.

[lewdog]

If we can get the Astros to quit, we are back in this fucking thing.

[PHOG]

Time for a long fly ball. (into the seats)

[Dartgod]

Time for a long fly ball. (into the seats)

(In fair territory)

[KChiefs1]

Houston has our number.

[C3HIEF3S]

Gordo missed two straight pitches right down the pipe

[PHOG]

(In fair territory)
Absolutely

[lewdog]

And damn. Nice pitching kid (sorta). AND FUCK YOU!

[SPchief]

Wait, I thought we had given up?

[Great Expectations]

Is it possible for Rios to jump on a fastball and pull one over the short porch?

[C3HIEF3S]

Infante going deep.

[lewdog]

Wait, I thought we had given up?

We have, this is just qualified as real life trolling.

[Great Expectations]

That was a HR pitch in this park. Why wasn't he sitting first pitch fastball on the inside half of the plate?

[Great Expectations]

Too bad for infante, he got a belt high fastball over the middle of the plate.

[Chromatic]

Probably their last chance right here to salvage the last of the series.

[Great Expectations]

Maybe Dyson can hit a pop fly out if the park down the left field line.

[C3HIEF3S]

Probably their last chance right here to salvage the last of the series.

What happened to the 8th and 9th innings?

[Great Expectations]

Probably their last chance right here to salvage the last of the series.

We have two more innings in this shit hole band box.

[Chromatic]

YES

[SPchief]

BOOM DYSON!

[petegz28]

holy shit, dyson!

[C3HIEF3S]

Jarrod fucking Dyson has been on fucking fire lately.

[PHOG]

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

And the storm just took out my Direct Tv signal.

[Dartgod]

DYSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111

[Al Bundy]

Well god damn...

.

[SPchief]

I THOUGHT THE GAME WAS OVER BITCHES

[Munson]

2-run triple from Dyson!!!

[siberian khatru]

Hot damn

[C3HIEF3S]

That was fucking BEAUTIFUL.

[Great Expectations]

Let's take the lead here. Time for clutchcobar

[stonedstooge]

DYSON PUTS IT ON HIS BACK

[C3HIEF3S]

I want the lead, HDH to finish.

[SPchief]

Dyson must not have gotten the signal to give up

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Lol at this outfield.

[Dartgod]

Get him home Esky!

[Great Expectations]

Pastball would work

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Quitters! Losers!

[lewdog]

THEY ARE QUITTING!! HOUSTON IS QUITTING!

[Great Expectations]

Shit

[Hootie]

Well god damn...
Fucking idiot, per usual

[penbrook]

I would put Dyson in the starting lineup. He has been on fire the games he has played. His hitting has improved so much from last year.

[C3HIEF3S]

Damn it, HDH hold them down.

[SAUTO]

I wouldn't worry about tonight.. the Royals are done swinging the bats.

ROFL

[Hootie]

Dyson must not have gotten the signal to give up
He'll get a stern talking to after the game

[Great Expectations]

Why didn't we send Dyson!!!! He could've won the game!!!







��

[SPchief]

Game over

The chances are slim... probably 1 in 100 that the Royals offense will wake up.

I wouldn't worry about tonight.. the Royals are done swinging the bats.

Props to the Astros for the sweep!

Bitches

[C3HIEF3S]

He'll get a stern talking to after the game

Fucking Ned not relaying the signs well-enough.

[Hootie]

Why didn't we send Dyson!!!! He could've won the game!!!







��
Third base coach was clearly in quit mode

[Dartgod]

Fucking Ned not relaying the signs well-enough.

#Yosted

[Great Expectations]

Third base coach was clearly in quit mode

WTH you'd think he'd learn from the World Series fiasco.

[C3HIEF3S]

England showing how quitting is done by scoring an own-goal.

[Hootie]

WTH you'd think he'd learn from the World Series fiasco.
They clearly quit when Bumgarner came in though

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I would put Dyson in the starting lineup. He has been on fire the games he has played. His hitting has improved so much from last year.

I would definitely take him over Rios at this point. Better hitter, better baserunner, better fielder, better dancer.

[Great Expectations]

I thought that hit the bat................

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Thug team

[Hootie]

I would put Dyson in the starting lineup. He has been on fire the games he has played. His hitting has improved so much from last year.
Can't give up on Rios, yet, but it's possible come playoff time when Gore is back up

[C3HIEF3S]

Thug team

LMAO

[Rasputin]

Don't stand so close to the bag

[Great Expectations]

They clearly quit when Bumgarner came in though

I hate it when they quit, I wish they wanted to win as much as I do.

[C3HIEF3S]

I'd be annoyed as an Astros fan, too. But LMAO if you think those are intentional.

[Hootie]

Wrong guy to hit, there. Just gave them a double

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Can't give up on Rios, yet, but it's possible come playoff time when Gore is back up

Uh, why not? His OPS is like .312.

[stonedstooge]

GET YOUR HEAD STRAIGHT KELVIN

[Rasputin]

Crowd did not like that pitch lol

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Trash organization

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Still throwing at Altuve

[stonedstooge]

Trash organization

Shud up Asstro

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Dammit, Omar.

[Munson]

Dammit. Should've held on to it.

[Great Expectations]

Can't give up on Rios, yet, but it's possible come playoff time when Gore is back up

I'm close to giving up on him, I waited a lot longer than most on Infante.

He has traditionally sucked the big one while trying to p,any through an injury. Why don't we let it fully heal and then let him get his timing back in the minors?

P.S. If infante can't make that plat it's got to be time for someone else to get a shot.

[Hootie]

He foul tipped that, I thought

[C3HIEF3S]

Kelvin better lock it down here

[Rudy tossed tigger's salad]

Fuck!

[Fairplay]

Interesting game indeed

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Thug hit by Gattis.
