****Official Royals Vs. Orieles Gamethread 8/24****

[SPchief]

Baltimore comes to town trying to extract revenge for the ALCS last year. Medlin on the bump

[Pablo]

Beat Baltemore!

[petegz28]

Orieles??? Expansion team?

[RollChiefsRoll]

Surely ChiefsnOsFan will grace us with his presence.

[Pablo]

Surely ChiefsnOsFan will grace us with his presence.He prefers the handle "twitterbitch".

[KCCHIEFS27]

In case anybody was worried, no need to be. Rios and Infante ARE IN the lineup.

[RealSNR]

I have no idea what to expect from Medlen. Think he's ready for starting pitching?

[eDave]

Screwing up a GDT title seems like bad mojo. And Rios and Infante.

[Pablo]

I have no idea what to expect from Medlen. Think he's ready for starting pitching?Now's the time to see what we really have in him. He's looked solid in relief and he has some pretty nasty pitches.

[TLO]

In.

[chefsos]

Orieles sounds even more feminine than a damn bird is in the first place.

Fuck Thank you for that

[teedubya]

The Baltemire Areolas!

[Anyong Bluth]

I'll interested to see how they do against Baltimore. The O's have been one of the hotter teams recently, and the Royals have a sizeable chunk against weak competition to close out the season. With their lead it can make guys complacent waiting for meaningful games. It's not a good trend to have going into the home stretch before the most important games of the year.

That's the time you want to be firing on all cylinders.

Somehow, they need a spark to get them refocused and zoned in.
Maybe in about a month it would be wise to revisit and watch some of last year's playoff run. Namely, the wildcard game. Ventura's 2nd appearance in the WS, and game 7.

[Anyong Bluth]

Now's the time to see what we really have in him. He's looked solid in relief and he has some pretty nasty pitches.
It'll be a good matchup because Baltimore has a pretty good lineup.

The O's are 5-5 in their last 10. They are on fire!

[Pablo]

The O's are 5-5 in their last 10. They are on fire!pete is terrified because they just got beat down by the Twins. Man, I sure am frightened too!

[lewdog]

SPchief right now.

[stonedstooge]

OK MEDS, SHOW US YOU DESERVE TO START

[Coach]

Oh man....

[petegz28]

not out...fuck

[cosmo20002]

not out...****

pete, I'm proud of you.

[stonedstooge]

So they give him a double?

[petegz28]

you got the double...toss his ass

[Coach]

Shouldn't that be an automatic ejection?

[Deberg_1990]

What's so hard about this ? It obviously popped out

[KCCHIEFS27]

Cain probably doesn't win the gold glove this year either

[bsroyals54]

Get past this 1st inning MEDLEN FUCKER

[petegz28]

toss his ass!

[cosmo20002]

I say we should assume he would have tried for a triple and been thrown out.

[petegz28]

Shouldn't that be an automatic ejection?

yes but rules...meh, we don't care about rules

[bsroyals54]

I think Buck has a vendetta against the Royals after being swept in the postseason. We must crush these orange bitches.

[Deberg_1990]

Buck OverratedAlter

[Coach]

Damn. That was smoked.

[petegz28]

well i said it yesterday this team worried me after losing 4 straight

[bsroyals54]

Lets give Medlen a start!

- RP

[eDave]

Boom

[kcjayhawks5]

That was a bomb by jones

[Al Bundy]

Medlen... Guthrie... the same there.

[cosmo20002]

And the Guthrie to the bullpen experiment seems to be going well...

[lewdog]

At least he can't do that come playoff time.

Adam Choker Jones.

[Deberg_1990]

Well, back to Guthrie?

[petegz28]

and medlen looks like shit... so far

[BigMeatballDave]

well i said it yesterday this team worried me after losing 4 straight

Huh?

[petegz28]

davis choked 5 times yesterday....

[bsroyals54]

At least he can't do that come playoff time.

Adam Choker Jones.

Well he had 1 HR that was a laser, but thats about it in a 4 game series. Hes almost as bad as A-Rod in the playoffs

[petegz28]

Huh?

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

[bsroyals54]

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

ooo 2 runs scary...

[bsroyals54]

Royals got em right where we want em'

[C3HIEF3S]

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

No it doesn't.

[petegz28]

ooo 2 runs scary...

2 runs on 2 hits in the 1st inning....let's hope that's all they get

[Dartgod]

2 run homer in the first. Game over.

Gotta fucking love this place.

[petegz28]

No it doesn't.

actually it does but okay....teams don't usually lose 5 straight that often

[petegz28]

2 run homer in the first. Game over.

Gotta ****ing love this place.

don't think anyone said game over

[lewdog]

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

Law of average relating to baseball?

How long have you been watching, it doesn't work that way.

[MeatRock]

The Royals never hit Jimenez well.

[petegz28]

Law of average relating to baseball?

How long have you been watching, it doesn't work that way.

1 team has a 4 game losing streak and we are playing them...okay

[Al Bundy]

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

No.. you keep losing teams losing. Fuck these clowns.

[MeatRock]

1 team has a 4 game losing streak and we are playing them...okay

OMG :facepalm: Dude!

[petegz28]

No.. you keep losing teams losing. **** these clowns.

not saying we won't or can't win...

[lewdog]

1 team has a 4 game losing streak and we are playing them...okay

You are saying they are due for a win? It simply doesn't work that way.

Law of averages:

The law of averages is a layman's term for a belief that the statistical distribution of outcomes among members of a small sample must reflect the distribution of outcomes across the population as a whole.

While there is a real theorem that a random variable will reflect its underlying probability over a very large sample, the law of averages typically assumes that unnatural short-term "balance" must occur.

[Fairplay]

I have no idea what to expect from Medlen. Think he's ready for starting pitching?

Yes he's ready, around 60 pitches though a reliever will come in for him maybe Hochevar.

[petegz28]

nice..now let's score some runs

[eDave]

Easy peasy

[petegz28]

oof..that was the pitch

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[stonedstooge]

RIOS FIGHTING FOR HIS JOB

[petegz28]

rios sending a message to infante

[bsroyals54]

Time for some 2 out hit juice, when theres 2 outs, Royals 2 out hit juice even enhances Rios' hitting ability a little.

[bsroyals54]

infante you dickbag mcgee

[TLO]

Welp......

[KCCHIEFS27]

haha infante is soooo bad at the plate

[TLO]

I know I'm WAYYYYYYYY behind the times here, but why did we release Frasor?

[petegz28]

okay..let's fucking score some runs already

[chefsos]

Hootie called 6 IP and 6 K for Medlen, and I neglected to reply at the time that if Medlen goes 6, he'll get 8 K minimum.

The Oes strike out a lot.

[bsroyals54]

TAKE HIS HEAD OFF!

[eDave]

Sizzler

[eDave]

okay..let's fucking score some runs already

Looking good

[stonedstooge]

HERE WE GO BOYS

[petegz28]

come on, hos..get him in!

[bsroyals54]

lets go royals clap clap CLAP CLAP CLAP

[petegz28]

well..just as good as a sac fly

[eDave]

Damn. OK.

[cosmo20002]

2 run homer in the first. Game over.

Gotta ****ing love this place.

Hey, we had a nice little run this year...but nothing lasts forever.

[cosmo20002]

the o's lost 4 straight at home to the twins....i said that worried me because that means they are most likely due for some wins

I asked yesterday for Chart support on this theory, and...nothing.

[bsroyals54]

left handed Morales is scary most of the time

[eDave]

left handed Morales is scary

Sometimes

[KCCHIEFS27]

gotta give credit to flaherty there for getting in front of that screamer

[tk13]

The way Jimenez shows the ball, I don't know how he ever fools someone with a changeup. That's what happened to Zobrist and he torched it. You can see his grip on the ball.

[bsroyals54]

That T-Rex Hudler sign was epic

[petegz28]

maybe you quit throwing that pitch to him?

[KCCHIEFS27]

maybe you quit throwing that pitch to him?

NO way. Throw it until he misses it. haha

[petegz28]

and medlen gives it right back....

[bsroyals54]

mmmk

[Al Bundy]

Medlen made sure to give it right back.

[suzzer99]

Royals used to get thrown out on the basepaths like that all the time.

[baitism]

Royals used to get thrown out on the basepaths like that all the time.

Teams stopped running.

[suzzer99]

Teams stopped running.

No we stopped being stupid.

[stonedstooge]

Salvy getting punked tonight

[ChiefsCountry]

Moose would have had hit on any other 3rd basemen in the league on that bunt attempt.

[eDave]

Dang Moose!

[ChiefsCountry]

Mooseeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[stonedstooge]

Crowd's in playoff mode

[KCUnited]

Steller

[bsroyals54]

wow

[tk13]

Moose showing Machado that he's not the only 3B in the AL.

[chefsos]

Damn. He one-upped Manny there.

[bsroyals54]

now hes just showin' off

[ROYC75]

wow

This

[Deberg_1990]

Send Moose down to the minors!

[gblowfish]

Moose has got a gun. Love his arm at 3B.

[kstater]

Crowd's in playoff mode


It's as small of crowd as has been here in three months but as vocal as had been here in a while.

[Dartgod]

Let's score 4 and give Medlen the win.

[petegz28]

not looking real promising tonight....

[bsroyals54]

not looking real promising tonight....

don't you know we only score early or late, theres no in-between. Have you been watching the games this year????

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Had to put Pete on ignore for the game. Geez, Debbie Downer, give it a rest, would ya?

[chefsos]

Thanks, Salvy /Hirschbeck

[Al Bundy]

Damn fine outing for Medlen. The offense needs to get going.

[petegz28]

Had to put Pete on ignore for the game. Geez, Debbie Downer, give it a rest, would ya?

you put me on ignore then make a comment to me? :LOL: LMAO

[Hootie]

Medlen : 6 IP 2 ER 6 K's
Pretty close

[baitism]

Cain swings at too many bad pitches in favorable counts.

[bsroyals54]

Stop hitting it near Machado and get some streak hitting going

[petegz28]

good hustle, hos....close but good

[bsroyals54]

Ok thats a start.

[chefsos]

I knew Hosmer would make it; Urrutia has a rag arm.

[petegz28]

MOOSE!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Moosedong!

[Dartgod]

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11`

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Moooooossssseee!

[bsroyals54]

The Moose is definitely Loose.

[GloryDayz]

And THAT'S what happens when I get to the game. Yes, F'n YES!!!

[tk13]

I'd say Moose is back.

[Al Bundy]

There we go.. would love to get Medlen a W here.

[Hootie]

Moose DONG

[bsroyals54]

Lets see what Medlen can keep doing

[Hootie]

I'd say Moose is back.
Amazing ... Baseball players are streaky. Who woulda guessed!?

[bsroyals54]

2 outs, lets take the lead here, why not

[lewdog]

Still due to lose because Baltimore has lost 4 in a row.

[Hootie]

I think Medlen ends up being our #2 or #3 postseason starter

[ChiefsCountry]

Rios is having a game tonight.

[bsroyals54]

Jersh learned his lesson I see. For now.

[tk13]

Tigers were leading the Reds 5-0. Reds score 10 runs in the 6th inning, now lead 10-5.

[GloryDayz]

They unsent him...

[stonedstooge]

RIOS ON FIRE

[tk13]

Rios actually hit that one hard. Good to see. He's been hitting well but seems like a lot of them are just singles. I'd like to see him really drive the ball for some real power.

[bsroyals54]

Tigers were leading the Reds 5-0. Reds score 10 runs in the 6th inning, now lead 10-5.

SHIT IF WE FACE THE REDS IN THE POSTSEASON WE ARE DEFINITELY FUCKED

[Dartgod]

So, Omar....

Could you help us out, just once?

[Saul Good]

Jersh does nothing right.

[GloryDayz]

Jersh learned his lesson I see. For now.He doesn't want a fan-induced man-scaping deal!

[Hootie]

Gee ... Thank God we have runners at 2nd and 3rd for Infante. Pinch hit Guthrie?

[petegz28]

with Infante coming up I send Salvy there

[GloryDayz]

So, Omar....

Could you help us out, just once?Attaboy Dart. Keep him in line!

[ChiefsCountry]

Omar!!!!!!

[bsroyals54]

OMAR OF'4[FKKK3LF3QGF34QGF34QF3Q4F3Q4GF3Q4GF

[stonedstooge]

ALLSTAR OMAR

[Saul Good]

Wow

[Dartgod]

OH-FUCKING-MARRRRRR!!!!!

[KCUnited]

Seen it all.

[Don Corlemahomes]

INFANTE HOMO

[Al Bundy]

THERE WE FUCKING GO!!!! FUCK YOU ORIOLES!!

[GloryDayz]

Everybody needs to go back and rep Dart's comment...

[Rasputin]

Fuck yes awesome I take some things back of Rios some.


WOOOT!!1

[bsroyals54]

Omar is a terrible player, does not hit in clutch situations.

[baitism]

This lineup looks real good when you add Gordon and subtract Infante.

[lewdog]

Ok. Both playing for their lives!!!

[tk13]

INFANTE! LMAO

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Outfante comes throught! Nice job, Omar

[petegz28]

Jersh does nothing right.

Gee ... Thank God we have runners at 2nd and 3rd for Infante. Pinch hit Guthrie?

with Infante coming up I send Salvy there

Ye we all look like fools

[Discuss Thrower]

Omar comin

[Saul Good]

Would have been funny had the bases been loaded there...in the Sonic Slam inning

[bsroyals54]

Gee ... Thank God we have runners at 2nd and 3rd for Infante. Pinch hit Guthrie?

You're always wrong. Its amazing

[cosmo20002]

You want to bench us? NOT SO FAST, ASSHOLES!

/Rios and Infante

[Hootie]

lmfao

well I hope that doesn't buy him more starts when Alex gets back ...

but still

lololol

[Jerok]

Holy crap this team

[tk13]

That probably would've been a legit homer in most parks. Definitely in Baltimore. Hardest ball he's hit in a while.

[lewdog]

This fucking team!!!

[mr. tegu]

Infante is making me feel bad for wanting him benched.

[Molitoth]

That was crazy.

[Rasputin]

Jesus was the first Royals fan

[KCUnited]

Seymour Hoffman goes to the pen.

[Fairplay]

I didn't see the Infante bat what happened?

[stonedstooge]

The Orioles seem to bring out the best in us

[Hootie]

I'll give bsroyals credit ... he's defended Omar all year long. I mean, he's putting together the worst offensive season in like 50 years + ... but man, he really came through tonight on the worst 0-2 pitch I've ever seen against an OF that was playing him like he was a girl at the plate in co-rec softball

[baitism]

Royals team cycle in four straight ABs.

[chefsos]

Hey, look, there's Bad Ubaldo! Wish you would have told me you'd unexpectedly show up about 5 minutes ago there, buddy...

Jekyll/Hyde

[bsroyals54]

I'll give bsroyals credit ... he's defended Omar all year long. I mean, he's putting together the worst offensive season in like 50 years + ... but man, he really came through tonight on the worst 0-2 pitch I've ever seen against an OF that was playing him like he was a girl at the plate in co-rec softball

I'm saying I would trust him to get a hit 9th inning game 7 of World Series down by 1 run

[bsroyals54]

MOAR RUNS PLS

[mr. tegu]

That ball definitely took a favorable bounce off the fence for Infante. Not sure how it went back where it came from.

[petegz28]

come on, Cain....need your 3rd hit, right here...

[tk13]

[okcchief]

Rios is hitting the ball pretty good right now. Let's hope he keeps it going.

I thought Medlen had really good stuff tonight. Glad he should get the W for his efforts.

[Hootie]

Infante is making me feel bad for wanting him benched.

omg lol

he has a .319 OPS in August

this reminds me of his flip play to Esky where everyone decided "we can't afford to lose his defense!"

It was one hit. One hit. Dude has been the worst offensive player in baseball by a wide margin this year ..

and let's not forget ... Ubaldo Jimenez is basically a train wreck. That was a terrible 0-2 pitch against a guy who can't hit anything on the outer half of the plate ... he piped it right down the middle numbers high. Let's not overreact.

[kstater]

I can't believe he threw him that pitch.

[bsroyals54]

When Cain or Morales start to hit a slight slump, it seems the bottom of our order starts rakin'. Gotta love it.

[petegz28]

come on, Cain....need your 3rd hit, right here...

thank u, Cain!

[GloryDayz]

Wow, just wow!

[ChiefsCountry]

Frenzy hitting.

[-King-]

LOLOLOLOL

I can't imagine how much Baltimore hates us.

[mr. tegu]

Hosmer with a mercy AB.

[Hootie]

on a positive note ... Royals crowds/fans home games are insane. So electric.

[tk13]

Pouring it on.

[bsroyals54]

Medlen can work with that many runs, right?

[Dartgod]

Hosmer, wut?

[siberian khatru]

It never ceases to amaze me how pitchers, even teams, can be sailing along and then just utterly disintegrate.

[Molitoth]

What an inning!

[petegz28]

Medlen can work with that many runs, right?

yes but doubt he does

[ROYC75]

not looking real promising tonight....

:hmmm:

Say wut?

[Hootie]

I'm so excited about Medlen. Sure, he gave up 3 runs, but I have to think that 1st inning was nerves. Dude is going to end up being our 2nd best starter. I mean, what an addition to the team. I feel pretty good with Cueto / Medlen / Volquez / Ventura, Duffy to the pen, and Morales (as good as he has surprisingly been) probably left off the postseason roster.

[mr. tegu]

omg lol

Do you even sarcasm, bro?

In reality it was a hard hit ball but it was definitely a catchable ball.

[tk13]

Like the idea against the shift, but not in that situation. They were completely disintegrating out there. Swing away.

[bsroyals54]

Our 2 out hitting collectively as a team has got to be over .300 by now. And its only going to keep rising. Going to be most excellent in the playoffs says this observer

[Saul Good]

omg lol

I literally said to my wife and son, "this pitch shouldn't be anywhere near the strike zone" right as he threw it.

[petegz28]

let Madsen and hoch finish it out

Say wut?

are you new here?

[chefsos]

By Gawd, you won't have us to kick around in the playoffs THIS year!

[mr. tegu]

Let's score 4 and give Medlen the win.

We can do better than that. /Royals.

[ChiefsCountry]

By Gawd, you won't have us to kick around in the playoffs THIS year!

It's going to be the franchise that was the original Baltimore Orioles we do that this year to.

[okcchief]

When Cain or Morales start to hit a slight slump, it seems the bottom of our order starts rakin'. Gotta love it.
That's the best thing about them. You can never tell where it's coming from. The addition of Zobrist, Cueto, Gordon, and now Medlen this team is just ridiculous.

[GloryDayz]

Medlen can work with that many runs, right?I guess not.

[cosmo20002]

This team is never going to win games. They rely too much on bunching hits together to score runs.

/PB

[BigMeatballDave]

are you new here?

Still worried, Pete? :)

[Saul Good]

Like the idea against the shift, but not in that situation. They were completely disintegrating out there. Swing away.

If nothing else, maybe it planted a seed in other teams' minds and will make them reluctant to shift in the future.

[Don Corlemahomes]

are you new here?

One would think you could learn

[stonedstooge]

By Gawd, you won't have us to kick around in the playoffs THIS year!

What went wrong this year?

[Saul Good]

Alex Gordon update:

K
Line out to center
Line drive single to center
BB

How are the suddenly white-hot Twins doing?

[petegz28]

Still worried, Pete? :)

meh...wasn't worried...just wasn't looking real good for us early given the way we have been against Jiminez in the past.

[okcchief]

I'm so excited about Medlen. Sure, he gave up 3 runs, but I have to think that 1st inning was nerves. Dude is going to end up being our 2nd best starter. I mean, what an addition to the team. I feel pretty good with Cueto / Medlen / Volquez / Ventura, Duffy to the pen, and Morales (as good as he has surprisingly been) probably left off the postseason roster.
I thought he was fantastic tonight. He might end up being the 2nd best starter on the team. He doesn't waste pitches.

[chefsos]

It's going to be the franchise that was the original Baltimore Orioles we do that this year to.Oohh...historical knowledge. I'm impressed.

[KChiefs1]

Let's score 4 and give Medlen the win.


Or 7.

[petegz28]

How are the suddenly white-hot Twins doing?

day off..heading to TB tomorrow

[Saul Good]

This team is never going to win games. They rely too much on bunching hits together to score runs.

/PB

Just think how much fun he and his son must have going over the box score after the game ends...

[KChiefs1]

not looking real promising tonight....


Reverse mojo Pete?

[ROYC75]

are you new here?

ROFL
Watch out folks, Pete has it in reverse, he's backing up.

[Saul Good]

I thought he was fantastic tonight. He might end up being the 2nd best starter on the team. He doesn't waste pitches.

He pretty much did the same thing as a reliever for us.

[Don Corlemahomes]

We're gonna be up 7 for home field if we hold on.

[petegz28]

So I have a choice of seeing the Royals on a Friday night, game 1 against the ChiSox or on a Wednesday night, game 3 against the Twinks....

Which do you go to?

[Hootie]

PB was just spouting off the other day about how if the Royals win 100 it just means there is a serious talent issue in MLB because the Royals just "aren't a great team."

[ChiefsCountry]

We're gonna be up 7 for home field if we hold on.

That's nice, but.....

[petegz28]

Reverse mojo Pete?

Do I really even need to explain it? :evil:

[tk13]

I thought he was fantastic tonight. He might end up being the 2nd best starter on the team. He doesn't waste pitches.

If things really go right, he should be our #3 behind Cueto and Ventura. Him and Volquez should be pitching game 3/4 in some order.

I thought he looked great tonight though. His stuff looked fine. Everything he throws has great movement. He really has Greg Maddux-like stuff. Doesn't have the same pinpoint location, but his stuff is fine.

[chefsos]

What went wrong this year?I don't want to hijack here, but to me it's quick and simple: The corner OF spots were there for the taking this spring, and NO ONE took them.

Plus, Duquette was halfway to Toronto.

[okcchief]

He pretty much did the same thing as a reliever for us.
Sure, but he's much more valuable as a starter. I thought Ned would stick with Guthrie come hell or high water.

It's really been a night for meltdowns. The Tigers melted down. The Orioles melted down. The Phillies were beating the Mets 7-2, and the Mets have hit 7 homers to take a 14-7 lead.

So I have a choice of seeing the Royals on a Friday night, game 1 against the ChiSox or on a Wednesday night, game 3 against the Twinks....

Which do you go to?

Friday night game
