Official Royals @ Tigers Game Day Thread (9/20)

[AJKCFAN]

May as well get another stab at this and put my 1-0 Game Day thread on the line.

Start of a memorable week in Royals history. Our first Divison Championship in 30 years will be clinched, as will our 9th Playoff Appearance.

Let's start this banner week off on the right step

Royals Lineup
1. Zobrist 2B
2. Cain CF
3. Hosmer 1B
4. Morales DH
5. Moustakas 3B
6. Rios RF
7. Orlando LF
8. Colon SS
9. Butera C
Medlen P

Time to order up some champagne and chill it cause KC will be a clinching THIS WEEK!!!

Magic number goes down to 2 today with KC W (& MIN L).....

[big nasty kcnut]

Yes let's do this!

[tk13]

Can't catch a break. Cain almost beat a rundown and the ball bounces off his back right to the fielder.

[C3HIEF3S]

Rios stays hot!

[TLO]

666 posts?

:facepalm:

[baitism]

Great AB by Zo.

[WhawhaWhat]

I thought Simon was going to be a lot better than he's been this year.

[baitism]

C'mon Cain. That was never a strike.

[WhawhaWhat]

WTF was that?

[baitism]

WTF. You have to score there.

[Dunit35]

Mental mistakes seem to be the norm now.

[tk13]

We've run into so many outs this weekend.

[WhawhaWhat]

We've run into so many outs this month.

FTFY.

[KevB]

Funny thing is Zobrist actually made that more difficult on himself. Actually looked completely back over his shoulder instead of just finding the 3rd base coach like we were all taught when we were 8.

[Munson]

Cuban Breakfast!

[big nasty kcnut]

Cuban destroyer

[tk13]

Morales at 19 homers. Moose and Perez have 20. It's been a long time since we've had three guys hit at least 20 HRs.

[Munson]

Paulo Homo!

[tk13]

Orlando! Showing that pop.

[mr. tegu]

I am fine with Orlando and Dyson in RF next season.

[big nasty kcnut]

Paulobomb!

[tk13]

More bad baserunning.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Why has everyone on this team forgotten how to run bases?

[TLO]

Score update?

[Dartgod]

Score update?
5-0 Royals, middle of 3rd.

[WhawhaWhat]

Nice play for Colon.

[bsroyals54]

SOMEONE GET COLON OUT OF THE GAME!

[petegz28]

So,
3 runners picked off base...
3 lead off walks..1 with a 2-0 lead, 1 with a 5-0 lead
3 runs scored because of an error

[petegz28]

Yeah that error cost us but walking Gose, for the 2nd time with 0 outs and a 5 run lead is all on Medlen and that started the bed shit that inning.

When the fuck is this team going to get it through their heads that Gose on base hurts us?
When the fuck is this team going to get it through their heads that you don't walk a lead off batter with a 5-0 lead?

[Munson]

That was a shitty strike 3 swing from Cain.

Second time he's done that today.

[Munson]

Cuban Breakfast does it again!

This time to the opposite field.

6-3 Royals.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Kendrys rules.

[tk13]

There it is. Number 20.

[petegz28]

well we got 1 back anyway..

Medlen needs to lock it down

In his defense this Ump has been bad. The inning the Tigers scored, Medlen threw 3pitches in a row in the same exact place. So exact that Fox Trax only showed the last pitch because it was directly on top of the other 2 and it was called a strike, ball, strike

[tk13]

Blue Jays led 3-0 but the Red Sox have come back to tie it.

[big nasty kcnut]

Cubandestroyer x2

[bsroyals54]

20 CLUB!! COUNT EM 3!!

Salvy - 20

Moose - 20

MVP - 20

[jimidollar]

Nice to see some power this year.

[petegz28]

here we fucking go again

[petegz28]

every time we score this gose fucker shows up an gets on base and then shit falls apart

[petegz28]

just put him on..fuck

[petegz28]

just put him on..****

or don't...good job getting out of it

[KChiefs1]

Watching the Royals & the NFL at the same time is hard.

[KChiefs1]

I really like Orlando.

[bsroyals54]

I like Paulo

[tk13]

You all can't have him. He was mine first. :)

Halfway to a cycle though.

[petegz28]

colon atoning....good..good

[petegz28]

I really like Orlando.

I do too...so much so that I am not terribly worried if we don't re-sign Gordon. Don't get me wrong, I want Gordon but Paulo is a good stop gap if need be

[Simply Red]

looking good Rolls.

[cosmo20002]

There it is. Number 20.

Last time with three was 2002

Sweeney - 24
Ibanez - 24
Beltran - 29

[petegz28]

20 CLUB!! COUNT EM 3!!

Salvy - 20

Moose - 20

MVP - 20

and that's playing the majority of our games in 2 of the largest parks in baseball

[cosmo20002]

I do too...so much so that I am not terribly worried if we don't re-sign Gordon. Don't get me wrong, I want Gordon but Paulo is a good stop gap if need be

pete...:shake:

[petegz28]

pete...:shake:

dude you have no fucking idea the ground you'e stepping on...i'm a huge gordon fan .....no one is going to be another gordon but paulo is good to help carry us in LF for a season as gordon is most likely gone after this year

[petegz28]

pete...:shake:

and we played right around .750 ball platooning paulo\dyson and some zobrist in LF so just put your drama stick back in your purse

[tk13]

Answer to the question is Mark Quinn, isn't it?

[petegz28]

Answer to the question is Mark Quinn, isn't it?

i ****ing hated that guy..i remember the fireworks being set off because took a walk

[petegz28]

good game by medlen..hopefully those 3 runs are unearned

[Munson]

Kendrys with a triple!

[petegz28]

kendrys...kendrys

[tk13]

Paulo Morales.

[tk13]

I was looking at baseball reference.... I think the last time the Royals had four 20 HR guys was 1987. Brett, Jackson, Tartabull, Balboni.

That would take Cain or Hosmer getting real hot these last couple weeks. Cain has 16 and Hosmer has 15.

[petegz28]

rios gotta get an rbi here...it's just sitting there waiting

[petegz28]

so doesn't moose get 3rd because it went into the dugout??

[petegz28]

sox take the lead over the jays 4-3

[Deberg_1990]

Answer to the question is Mark Quinn, isn't it?

I remember being fired up over Bob Hamlein in 94

[petegz28]

all-in-all...Orlando has been everything Rios was supposed to be

[petegz28]

duffy out of the pen.....

and got out of the inning under 15 pitches...

[siberian khatru]

Welcome to the bullpen, Danny.

Throwing strikes at 95-97 mph. He will be a weapon in the postseason, just when the bully really needs it.

[bsroyals54]

Hopefully Duffy can transform into a bullpen ace like Wade did

[rabblerouser]

Bridgewater looks pretty good today, compared to last week especially.

Of course, Peterson is running hard, and that helps.

[siberian khatru]

Blue Jays lose

[Munson]

Kendrys with home run #3!!!

[big nasty kcnut]

cuban destroyer x3

[siberian khatru]

CUBAN BREAKFAST

[WhawhaWhat]

Nice day for Kendrys. Hopefully the Royals are back on track.

[tk13]

Royals record 15 total bases in a game.

[jimidollar]

KenMo feasts on Tigers pitching. Wow!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Wow.

[tk13]

Twins pouring it on the Angels, 6-0.

[Rasputin]

Nice to come home from work & see a slaughterhouse of the other team.

[Rasputin]

I feel like crap, but this cheers me up.

[Bob Dole]

Nice day of work for Morales. Wow.

[siberian khatru]

More impressive accomplishment: Kendrys' 15 total bases or Drew Butera getting on base three times today? :D

[big nasty kcnut]

Today is a good day!

[big nasty kcnut]

Drew did what he did for salvy!

[siberian khatru]

Duffy with the save

[bsroyals54]

3 home runs and a triple, not a bad game for a MVP

[tk13]

That's the best Duffy has looked in a while.

[Rasputin]

Perez splooged all over Morales

[bsroyals54]

Chevy commercial just said hit 3 home runs at the end??? what?

[Munson]

Chevy commercial just said hit 3 home runs at the end??? what?

Yup. Also had a triple. He was in full beast mode today.

[Deberg_1990]

Medlen has been a stabilizing godsend lately

[big nasty kcnut]

Evrybody got a hit everybody? EVERYBODY!

[AJKCFAN]

HEY! HEY! HEY! HEY!

I say screw this slump! That's now 2-0 in Game Day threads during worst stretch of season. I just might make this more of a habit.... that is if y'all don't mind.

In the meantime, lemme feel all that REP love, all my fellow Royals brethren!

We might have found a legit SP for postseason in Medlen

A legit X factor in pen with Duff

And maybe just maybe a Game Thread starter weapon in me!

Gatorade baths all around!

[KChiefs1]

I wish the starter Danny Duffy was as good as the bullpen Danny Duffy.

Royals record the last 13 games:
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/09/20/96d4206a3dc14d6d3d171996f4bd1d9e.jpg

Repeat that & our record would be: 91-71
&
Toronto would be 93-69.
