****Official Astros @ Royals game thread****

[Rasputin]

Let's go Royals

Game time 6:00pm with Duffy Beer on tap

[eDave]

I've heard the season is over for us. What's the point?

[tk13]

Cole Hamels is trying to bump his trade value by throwing a no-hitter through 6. About to start the 7th in Chicago.

[KCUnited]

Lol Cubs

[Munson]

[siberian khatru]

Cole Hamels is trying to bump his trade value by throwing a no-hitter through 6. About to start the 7th in Chicago.

If the Royals could make the money work, that's the guy I'd like to have, to anchor the rotation for the next couple of years.

[tk13]

Yeah no kidding. He's got the no hitter through 8 innings now. CF made a great catch on the track, then Hamels snared a hit back up the middle... defense saving the day. He's at 112 pitches.

[Rasputin]

Glad Perez is back tonight think Royals really missed him last night.


I know I did.

[bsroyals54]

Would like to have this win, need to finally beat these yellow bastards

[Munson]

Just noticed the "Los Reales" jerseys.

[kstater]

No PA system. Kind of interesting

[eDave]

[New World Order]

Just noticed the "Los Reales" jerseys.



Ugh

[C3HIEF3S]

Duff changing speeds well and locating his off-speed pitches in the first. Have to keep these guys off-balanced if you're going to be pitching to contact. His fastball also seems to have a bit extra on it compared to his last couple of outings to start, don't remember him ever being much over 94 since he came back from rehab.

[Molitoth]

NoCain

[Molitoth]

Let's see if billy morales will double play.

[Rasputin]

Dagnabbit

[Molitoth]

Let's see if billy morales will double play.

:clap:

You never let us down.

[petegz28]

twins already up 2-0...again

[petegz28]

Let's see if billy morales will double play.

so the al leader in rbi's is now billy morales?

[Why Not?]

twins already up 2-0...again

Well, yeah. Yanks are pitching Sabathia. Line should be Twins -8

[petegz28]

Well, yeah. Yanks are pitching Sabathia. Line should be Twins -8

we really need a win tonight

[New World Order]

twins already up 2-0...again



Theyre tough at home.

[C3HIEF3S]

Duffy looking good!

[petegz28]

i know some of you said cleveland will overtake minny for 2nd place but i think you're wrong....

[bsroyals54]

Billy has 1 more GDP than Kendrys Morales this year

which I don't believe

[petegz28]

Duffy looking good!

a lot of fly ball outs...every game we seem to face "ground ball pitchers" and all of our pitchers are "fly ball pitchers"....how does that happen???:eek:

[petegz28]

Billy has 1 more GDP than Kendrys Morales this year

which I don't believe

kendrys has been in a funk of sorts lately....

[bsroyals54]

Duffy looking like last year Duffy

[Demonpenz]

Sweeney was awesome.

[petegz28]

we can't lay off that high pitch......

[New World Order]

Sweeney was awesome.


What about Ken Harvey?

[petegz28]

salvy...wow dude you should be at 2nd

[eDave]

Ha ha. oops

[Munson]

I'll take it.

[bsroyals54]

Salvy gives up on a lot of easy outs

[eDave]

salvy...wow dude you should be at 2nd

oh come on.

[Mr. Laz]

WTF ... Salvy should be at 2nd



:banghead:

[Demonpenz]

Salvy's routine is getting old.

[petegz28]

that's having your head in your ass right there, sal

[bsroyals54]

and the double play machine is still on, someone turn it off pls

[Mr. Laz]

annnnnnnnnnnnnnd double play because Salvy coasted and didn't get to 2nd


I love you salvy but you are a bad boy today

[C3HIEF3S]

Sorry, but I am not getting pissed off at Sal of all people for not legging something out.

[Demonpenz]

If salvy was in a tougher market he would be lit up for his non professional antics, but since it is K.C. awww shucks we just git to have a baseball team guzzle some mountain dew.

[petegz28]

gee, back-back dp's to end an inning

[Rasputin]

Tucker is a dumb mother fucker

[petegz28]

Sorry, but I am not getting pissed off at Sal of all people for not legging something out.

legging out? how about just paying some attention? he wasn't even watching

[Rasputin]

gee, back-back dp's to end an inning



:banghead:

[kstater]

legging out? how about just paying some attention? he wasn't even watching


Shut up Pete. It was a routine fly.

[eDave]

Sorry, but I am not getting pissed off at Sal of all people for not legging something out.

Thank you.

[bsroyals54]

Billy Butler: .250 AVG / 9 HR / 44 RBI / .317 OBP / .702 OPS

Kendrys Morales: .277 AVG / 12 HR / 65 RBI / .336 OBP / .785 OPS

[Chiefspants]

Salvy's routine is getting old.

He's been absolutely pegged as a hitter and has already reached his apex with his plate discipline.

By September of last season, he had swung at 57% of the first pitches he saw in 2014.

If he wants to improve as a hitter, he absolutely has to start taking more pitches.

[petegz28]

Shut up Pete. It was a routine fly.

that was dropped...if he was watching he could have jogged to 2nd easy

[petegz28]

0-2 to a walk.....hate seeing that happen

[petegz28]

fuck you ump..seriously that was strike 3

[Demonpenz]

Jason Kendell is such a red ass, but couldn't hit the ball out of the infield.

[gblowfish]

This guy is a pretty tough out for a kid with Down's Syndrome.

[petegz28]

dude struck out 3 pitches ago and is still at the plate

[Demonpenz]

Trey Fucking Hillman Looking Majestic AF

[Molitoth]

so the al leader in rbi's is now billy morales?

As of late, yep.

kendrys has been in a funk of sorts lately....

...

[bsroyals54]

Duffy keeps em at 1st base with the best of em', great weapon he has

[eDave]

I rarely get to hear the Royals announcers. Boring.

[gblowfish]

So, are gonna score some time this weekend or what??/

[C3HIEF3S]

As of late, yep.



...

Baseball players go into slumps at points throughout a 162 game season. To compare him to Billy Butler is just fucking stupid.

[Demonpenz]

Oh man a major league player making a good throw to the cut-off man? #SHOWTIME

[Rasputin]

I think Duffy is on tonight nice job so far

[C3HIEF3S]

I think Duffy is on tonight nice job so far

He's able to throw all of his pitches for strikes so far. Usually when he is off his off-speed pitches are everywhere that isn't the strike zone.

[bsroyals54]

Duffy has got to of learned a lot from Chris or Edy

last 5 starts hes been rockin

[petegz28]

pitch count starting to get away from him a touch...no thanks to the ump last inning

[Demonpenz]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THERE ARE SOME GUYS THESE DAYS THAT WEAR MAKE UP *LONG SILENCE* I LOVE @RexHudler1

[gblowfish]

So, where's all the Beaners? Are they ripping rims out in the parking lot??/

[C3HIEF3S]

Just get us through 6 and hope the offense can come alive.

[eDave]

pitch count starting to get away from him a touch...no thanks to the ump last inning

You are a real drag to watch baseball with sometimes dude.

[jimidollar]

We got our power hitters up now!

[bsroyals54]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THERE ARE SOME GUYS THESE DAYS THAT WEAR MAKE UP *LONG SILENCE* I LOVE @RexHudler1

Hud just saw the bruce jenner interview

[tk13]

LMAO Rex trying to get himself in trouble again.

[C3HIEF3S]

I rarely get to hear the Royals announcers. Boring.

Are you not in the KC market then, I assume?

[eDave]

Are you not in the KC market then, I assume?

I am not.

[Munson]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THERE ARE SOME GUYS THESE DAYS THAT WEAR MAKE UP *LONG SILENCE* I LOVE @RexHudler1

I had a nice chuckle when he said that. LMAO

[petegz28]

You are a real drag to watch baseball with sometimes dude.

sorry, he is 10 pitches over where you'd like and 5 of those were because the ump blew a clear strike 3 call....

[gblowfish]

That dude is a greasy mofo. He should play for the Chisox.

[petegz28]

twins just blew it open...5-0 over nyy

[jimidollar]

Cy Feldman working us over.

[C3HIEF3S]

I am not.

If you can afford it, I would definitely look into getting MLB.tv then. If not this year, next year. MLB.tv gets cheaper as the year goes on, so maybe once September hits you can give it a shot for a month to see if you like it or not. That's how I started.

In 2012, when I first started watching the Royals, I relied pretty much solely on streaming sites to watch the games. They'd rarely ever have the FSKC broadcast and even sometimes wouldn't provide a link for the game at all. Once September came around I got the reduced price deal for MLB.tv to try it out and I haven't regretted the service for a minute since.
It's convenient to know that i'll be getting the broadcast and games that I want with good quality regardless.

[petegz28]

cripes we can't catch a freaking break....orlando and dyson both hit the ball well....thy gotta start dropping in some time right?

[bsroyals54]

cripes we can't catch a freaking break....orlando and dyson both hit the ball well....thy gotta start dropping in some time right?

Astros aren't hitting shit either

[petegz28]

quick inning for duffy here would be nice

[tk13]

You are a real drag to watch baseball with sometimes dude.

It's almost the trade deadline. Pete is putting his best foot forward because we've put him on the trading block.

[petegz28]

Astros aren't hitting shit either

yeah well i don't have much care about that...

[bsroyals54]

This is like watching a bear try to hit a baseball

[C3HIEF3S]

It's almost the trade deadline. Pete is putting his best foot forward because we've put him on the trading block.

I am currently on the phone with Orioles Hangout.
I am offering them Pete and bsroyals for $20 towards a new server, i'll get back to you on what they counter-offer with. :)

[New World Order]

The Astros have heart. You know they will be there in the very end.

[bsroyals54]

I am currently on the phone with Orioles Hangout.
I am offering them Pete and bsroyals for $20 towards a new server, i'll get back to you on what they counter-offer with. :)

That was actually a compliment, thanks

I assume you are paying the Orioles the $20.

EDIT: My joke makes no sense. Sorry fellas.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice quick inning for Duff, that helps. He should be able to get us 6 innings.

[petegz28]

good inning

[Demonpenz]

He gone

[Rasputin]

Down goes Tucker the trucker muther ****er

[C3HIEF3S]

jk I can't do Pete like that. He's off the market.

[bsroyals54]

Sharknado 3 is on

[Why Not?]

See post #21

[bsroyals54]

Sure, gimme the $20 chief ill be on my way, where people can actually say naughty curse words in a sports forum, stupid

[Rasputin]

Amazing how we can post nude pics, yet can't say fuck.

[tk13]

They are killing it with the defensive positioning.

[Demonpenz]

Royals are the slowest team in the majors

[Demonpenz]

Great White playing a free concert at rivals

[tk13]

Audio is out and now the stadium is on fire. Not a good night for the K.

[C3HIEF3S]

Well this game is sailing along.

[bsroyals54]

Amazing how we can post nude pics, yet can't say fuck.

Because the word fuck is offensive man, it is rarely uttered in conversation and should never be used. A kitten gets a pencil stuck in its head every time a human being sees the word fuck.

[tk13]

Great White playing a free concert at rivals

LMAO

[petegz28]

fuck it, the baseball gods have decided houston owns us......6 runs in 40 innings this year against them

[C3HIEF3S]

Audio is out and now the stadium is on fire. Not a good night for the K.

Now it's just time for the fountains to stop working and we'll have the trifecta.

[Bob Dole]

And here comes 5 where Duffy gives up 2...

[C3HIEF3S]

Did Yordano even make it to Omaha?

[Demonpenz]

I remember Fred Mcgriff came to the braves and for some reason Jeff Blauser and Mark Lemke decided to burn the mother fucker down.

[Demonpenz]

That ball would have been gone in Camden yards.

[petegz28]

ffs ump fuck off...jc duffy has been squeezed tonight

[C3HIEF3S]

Duffy getting the squeeze multiple times tonight and keeping his head on the following pitches.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Jesus christ, blu

[Anyong Bluth]

Dagnabbit! I didn't know it was an early start tonight

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Duff is hittin his spots.

[bsroyals54]

RUNS

[petegz28]

Duffy getting the squeeze multiple times tonight and keeping his head on the following pitches.

yes he has..

[eDave]

Dagnabbit! I didn't know it was an early start tonight

You've missed nothing.

[petegz28]

Duff is hittin his spots.

beasting for having to throw 4 & 5 strikes to get people out

[Anyong Bluth]

So, are gonna score some time this weekend or what??/
I blame Alex Smith

[petegz28]

oof that was ball 4...

[Anyong Bluth]

He's able to throw all of his pitches for strikes so far. Usually when he is off his off-speed pitches are everywhere that isn't the strike zone.
Yep. When it happens he tends to go to low and they lay off the balls and then he'll try to tweak it and that's when he gives up the homers - when he's off.

[Anyong Bluth]

So, where's all the Beaners? Are they ripping rims out in the parking lot??/
/Cowherd

[tyler360]

Jeez

[jimidollar]

Hosmer saw 7 pitches. That's nice.

[Anyong Bluth]

LMAO Rex trying to get himself in trouble again.
I bet Caitlin Jenner would look good in pinstripes.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nothing is falling for us. May just be another one of those days LMAO

[Chiefspants]

Two at bats, two pitches seen.

[petegz28]

hit them hard..out
hit them soft...out

[Anyong Bluth]

twins just blew it open...5-0 over nyy
Consolation prize is maybe they won't go after starting pitching

[jimidollar]

We better not get shutout two days in a row by these turds.

[petegz28]

we haven't scored a run in 14 innings

[Anyong Bluth]

I am currently on the phone with Orioles Hangout.
I am offering them Pete and bsroyals for $20 towards a new server, i'll get back to you on what they counter-offer with. :)
We'd also accept a bag of Gardetto's. Snack size is fine.

[petegz28]

We better not get shutout two days in a row by these turds.

and with super stud pitching for them tomorrow it could be 3 straight

[Anyong Bluth]

Did Yordano even make it to Omaha?
Word was he didn't get past Argosy casino

[petegz28]

of course....well this could be the game right here since we can't score against these guys for shit

[Rasputin]

Good fucking grief

[C3HIEF3S]

Not sure how he hits that pitch all the way out there.

[penbrook]

Welp that's game

[Why Not?]

Huh? I was thinking that we would fare much better against Houston at home. I guess they just have our number. Really hope we miss them in the post season.

[tk13]

That's some quick hands inside. He's going to be a monster.

[mr. tegu]

Glad to see last years Duffy officially back.

[C3HIEF3S]

Huh? I was thinking that we would fare much better against Houston at home. I guess they just have our number. Really hope we miss them in the post season.

Sucks that our offense has went quiet during this series so far.

Hell of a job, Duff. We'll take that all day. It's safe to say that Duffy is back and right.

[tyler360]

Runs would be nice

[bsroyals54]

Sucks that our offense has went quiet during this series so far.

Hell of a job, Duff. We'll take that all day. It's safe to say that Duffy is back and right.

Also safe to say we don't know how long its going to last

[Why Not?]

Sucks that our offense has went quiet during this series so far.

Hell of a job, Duff. We'll take that all day. It's safe to say that Duffy is back and right.

Right

[bsroyals54]

Infante needs to rally up again

[GloryDayz]

I pray that one run isn't all they needed!

[bsroyals54]

Or Orlando

[cosmo20002]

Duffy sucks. A better pitcher would have the lead right now.

/Prison Bitch

[GloryDayz]

Dude, take one!

[GloryDayz]

Duffy sucks. A better pitcher would have the lead right now.

/Prison Bitch

You're a fucking idiot!

[C3HIEF3S]

Also safe to say we don't know how long its going to last

Based off of what?
It isn't pure luck that he is producing, you know.

[eDave]

Duffy sucks. A better pitcher would have the lead right now.

/Prison Bitch

Hamels hit a double today. So...

[bsroyals54]

Orlandos bottom of the order, sprinting ass needs to take a pitch if its going to hit you, you're a platoon player out of the minors for 10 fucking years, TAKE IT BITCH

[bsroyals54]

Based off of what?
It isn't pure luck that he is producing, you know.

Was talking about injuries

[gblowfish]

So...are we planning on scoring sometime this weekend, or what???

[C3HIEF3S]

Was talking about injuries

Ah, I agree. Danny has never been able to stay healthy over an extended stretch of time. Which just further proves, imo, that we need SP help.

[Blankey]

Welp this is freaking pathetic

[C3HIEF3S]

Yawn. Jeesh.

[Why Not?]

So...are we planning on scoring sometime this weekend, or what???

Not looking that way. Huge Angels fan the rest of the summer. The more opportunities for another team to pick off the Astros, the better

[GloryDayz]

The Astros have the Royal's number...

[jimidollar]

You gotta love how a guy comes in with an ERA over four and a half and then clowns us.

[Three7s]

Definitely don't want to face this team in the playoffs. Their starting pitching is our kryptonite.

[Anyong Bluth]

Also safe to say we don't know how long its going to last
/every player

[suzzer99]

I miss Gordon. He always seems to get hot when the rest of the team is ice cold.

[bsroyals54]

Definitely don't want to face this team in the playoffs. Their starting pitching is our kryptonite.

This is like facing the Tigers last year, they are our worst enemy

[Anyong Bluth]

Hamels hit a double today. So...

Well then his butt probably smells like roses. Wanna kiss it and confirm?

[New World Order]

Here we go Royals here we go

[bsroyals54]

Madson is my favorite newly acquired Cyborg

[C3HIEF3S]

Too bad we didn't DFA Madson 3 weeks ago.....

[eDave]

Well then his butt probably smells like roses. Wanna kiss it and confirm?

Relax Peggy. Royals gonna win this.

[bsroyals54]

Royals better win this one for the goddamn fans, what a borefest the last 2 games have been at the K

[C3HIEF3S]

LMAO
They tried..

[bsroyals54]

Correa still almost got that shit, jesus what will he cost

[C3HIEF3S]

Get something started with the heart of the order coming up.

[penbrook]

Steal!!

[C3HIEF3S]

The sound system is working again at least.

[bsroyals54]

2-0 to popup

[Why Not?]

Not gonna score many runs missing pitches like that.

[New World Order]

Fuck this shit

[C3HIEF3S]

Missed a 90 mph meatball down the heart of the plate.

[C3HIEF3S]

MOTHERFUCKING FUCK. NO FUCKING WAY.
FUCK THE ASTROS.

[Why Not?]

Ha. Of course.

[bsroyals54]

Take it as a win Ryan, that was a popup that our defense would of caught.

[Rasputin]

We would have scored if that wasn't ruled a double. fuck their luck.

[cosmo20002]

.

[tk13]

Got robbed by the bounce.

[C3HIEF3S]

I fucking hate that. Esky was going to score easily.

[gblowfish]

Bad luck there.

[tk13]

Technically I'm pretty sure the ump is allowed to score the run if they deem necessary, but they never call it anymore.

[C3HIEF3S]

Ugh. I don't trust Sal to not GIDP vs this guy.

[Rasputin]

Walking Hosmer bases loaded.


Grand Slam time Perez

[bsroyals54]

Walk to the all-star

[penbrook]

Perez I swear

[cosmo20002]

Inside fastball, please.

[penbrook]

No DP

[bsroyals54]

Still fuckin swingin away jesus

[C3HIEF3S]

HIT THE BALL IN THE AIR.

[baitism]

Wear it

[Munson]

That'll work!

[C3HIEF3S]

HIT THE BALL IN THE AIR.

Thank god.

[bsroyals54]

SAC FLY IT BITCH, NICE THROW, GJ SALVY

[cosmo20002]

Shit, that pitch was in Salvy's zone.

At least got 1 run...

[Why Not?]

Thank God that dudes arm sucks

[bsroyals54]

thats 1 way to get a fucking run, and now we got some momentum

[C3HIEF3S]

Rios to save us again.

[suzzer99]

Why the hell don't you let that drop?

[Anyong Bluth]

So...are we planning on scoring sometime this weekend, or what???
Yes

[penbrook]

Let's go Rios

[gblowfish]

Hey we scored!!!

[baitism]

Yikes. I could have thrown out Esky.

[Rasputin]

Get the lead lets go Royals

[New World Order]

Shit

[bsroyals54]

Rios is so slow now, he can't run in his 30's? fuckin

[C3HIEF3S]

Such a fitting way to finally score a run off these fuckers. LMAO

[Anyong Bluth]

Relax Peggy. Royals gonna win this.
I am relaxed. I was being tongue in cheek.

[eDave]

Hey we scored!!!

7 more innings and this one might be over

[baitism]

Not one strike to Rios.

[penbrook]

Don't worry Infante Dyson and Orlando will save this team once again!!

[kstater]

Why the hell don't you let that drop?


There is literally no reason to catch that. The angle he had at home made it impossible to throw him out.

[eDave]

I am relaxed. I was being tongue in cheek.

:thumb:

[bsroyals54]

considering how many bases loaded opportunities we squander when we slump that was very good

[suzzer99]

I never understand why teams don't let those drop when it takes almost a perfect throw to get him. If I'm the Astros I'd much rather take my chances with Salvy at the place with 2 strikes on him.

[cosmo20002]

Don't worry Infante Dyson and Orlando will save this team once again!!

I'm just glad we're not burdened with having Cain's bat in the game.

[bsroyals54]

Wrong Rex, Wade Davis is not a human, he is indeed, a Cyborg.

[C3HIEF3S]

Thank you Kauffman Stadium and Jarrod Dyson.

[bsroyals54]

nice play

[eDave]

Maybe that sparks the O?

[Rasputin]

Nice catch Dyson

[C3HIEF3S]

It's 5-4 in Minny.

edit: Min is winning in the 7th.

[tk13]

Wade got away with one there.

[siberian khatru]

Wade has been extremely efficient this week

[penbrook]

I thought that was gone off the bat

[gblowfish]

I hate the band Kansas even more now.

[bsroyals54]

Wade has been extremely efficient this week

Fuck it. let him go 2 if we don't score

[gblowfish]

Our balls must find holes....sez Hud.
