[Dartgod]

This will be Ventura's second start in this series. Back in May he went 7 innings giving up only 1 earned run in a game we eventually lost 2-1.

[RealSNR]

NL baseball sucks

[lewdog]

Cubs fans are very lame.

[SPchief]

Shit, didn't see this one. Ace of to a great start

[bsroyals54]

Banned from Chiefs thread for saying "get em next week" hahaha, very tolerant website

Sometimes the truth hurts.

[lewdog]

Nice knock Moose.

[baitism]

Goddamn. Is another fucking team going to lose the lead against the BJs late in the game?

[petegz28]

Goddamn. Is another ****ing team going to lose the lead against the BJs late in the game?

hard to beat corked bats

[SPchief]

Ace with 46 pitches thru 4. Looks fantastic.

[C3HIEF3S]

Yordano has a knack for the dramatics LMAO

[lewdog]

At least we have the Royals!

:D

[C3HIEF3S]

At least we have the Royals!

:D

Absolutely.

This Yordano can stay for a while.

[SPchief]

Dealing

[baitism]

I can't believe how many strikeouts we have versus a junk baller that hardly changes speeds.

[ChiTown]

Holy mother fuck. We have whiffed 9 fucking times in 6 innings.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Dangit.

[kstater]

lol NL baseball. Pulling a pitcher thats dealing for a less than 10% chance of scoring.

[baitism]

Baltimore about to complete the collapse.

[SPchief]

But the strategery is just so pure

jays roiding their way to hfa

[kstater]

Runner left on first and to the bullpen

[carcosa]

How bout some runs tho

[petegz28]

toronto roided cork bats took the lead

[ROYC75]

Sure, BJ's go up in the 9th.:banghead:

[ROYC75]

jays roiding their way to hfa

Well,we have allowed them to.

[ChiTown]

toronto roided cork bats took the lead

Does it really matter at this point?

[Bearcat]

So, this guy for game one...

[lewdog]

So, he's back. He's #1.

[siberian khatru]

Ventura was everything the Chiefs aren't tonight

[bsroyals54]

LETS GO ESKY, START US OFF BRO

[bsroyals54]

FUCK

[ChiTown]

So the team that never strikes out is whiffing at record pace lately. Just awful

[tk13]

Less than 2 hours in and we're into the 9th inning.

[Sassy Squatch]

Cardinals player got hurt pretty badly. Hope he's ok.

[Munson]

Dammit, Lorenzo.

[WhawhaWhat]

Bummer.

Jesus. That's horrible. My God.

I really hope he's ok. Looks bad.

[ChiTown]

What is the fuck has happened to our fucking base running? Jesus Fucking Christ!

[tk13]

Another base running error.

[petegz28]

What is the **** has happened to our ****ing base running? Jesus ****ing Christ!

that's the 6th time we've been caught in just over a week..and 3rd for Cain

[WhawhaWhat]

Gotta call those.

It's been going on for a few weeks... not just the picks, but terrible decisions and a little bit of laziness.

[KChiefs1]

Unfocused & lazy.

[KChiefs1]

Dammit, Lorenzo.


He's made unfocused stupid errors in the field & on the base paths.

[ChiTown]

Unfocused & lazy.

It's fucking BS and needs to stop and get fixed immediately. Embarassingly bad

[carcosa]

He's made unfocused stupid errors in the field & on the base paths.

Here's hoping the whole team can refocus come playoff time.

[SPchief]

Where was that?

[SPchief]

9 innings, 2 hours 15 minutes

[kstater]

9 innings, 2 hours 15 minutes

Had a 2:13 in May, other than that I can't think of a quicker game.

[Bearcat]

Had a 2:13 in May, other than that I can't think of a quicker game.

I seem to remember a fairly high scoring game that was oddly fast, maybe a couple months ago... around 2 hours/2:15. :shrug:

[baitism]

Not sure whose offense is worse tonight, the Royals or Chiefs.

[Bearcat]

I seem to remember a fairly high scoring game that was oddly fast, maybe a couple months ago... around 2 hours/2:15. :shrug:

Guess it was this one.... so close.

Monday, Aug 24 KCR BAL W 8 3 76-48 1 up13.0 Medlen Jimenez 2:18 N 27,797

[SPchief]

Seemed like we had a real quick one a few weeks ago that was high scoring also

[bsroyals54]

This just in Alex Smith throws an interception at our own 20 yard line :D, (which resulted in a 5 second touchdown afterwards) :D

[baitism]

I feel like this Royals could play twenty innings and not score.

[mr. tegu]

I was literally just going to post here comes the patented Almonte HR.

[WhawhaWhat]

That was hit hard.

[Munson]

Fuck!

Almonte gives up the walk off HR.

[Bearcat]

Damn.





Now all that's on is the Chiefs.

[bsroyals54]

We obviously had no intentions of winning tonight

[lewdog]

Almonte giving up a ton of homers in limited MLB innings.

[WhawhaWhat]

I feel like this Royals could play twenty innings and not score.

and the Chiefs could play 20 quarters and not score.

[tk13]

He was sitting all over that.

[Molitoth]

Almonte has given up how many HR now? What a loser

[Great Expectations]

What is our magic number on the #2 seed?

[baitism]

Still not sure why Hoch didn't pitch two innings. No reason to use Almonte yet.

[ChiTown]

What a great fucking night :banghead:

[tk13]

Worst part is we're now effectively 2 games back for home field with 6 to play. May have killed any dreams of home field tonight. We'll need to go 5-1 if Toronto just finishes .500.

[teedubya]

Ruining Almonte.

[baitism]

Ruining Almonte.

Almonte has been garbage in AA. Not sure why he is even on the 40-man roster.

[cosmo20002]

I don't get this Almonte shit. What has he done besides be horrible? He wasn't even special in the minors. Sure, let him pitch the 11th...he got this.

[tk13]

What is our magic number on the #2 seed?

Rangers are losing to Detroit right now. If they lose, it'll be 1. One more Royals win or Texas loss would do it.

[Dartgod]

So Ventura, in two games at Wrigley, has pitched 14 innings and allowed 1 ER.

And we lost both games. 2-1 and 1-0. :shake:

[ChiTown]

Honestly, I'm not sure this Team has given a fuck about HFA for a while now. Fuck it, let's just make sure we get #2 and take on Texas

[cosmo20002]

Fucking this. Everyone talks about his "awesome stuff." Get guys out. That's what's awesome.

[tk13]

His stuff is amazing. He may have the best stuff on the staff. They're giving him every shot to try and be this year's Finnegan.

[baitism]

I'll go through the motions and watch the playoff games, but I have no expectation of success. This team is in a funk and it has been to long to simply call it a slump.

damn

[Al Bundy]

I didn't watch but 2 at bats, but in those 2 at bats I saw the Royals offense not giving a shit about winning.

[Molitoth]

Honestly, I'm not sure this Team has given a **** about HFA for a while now. **** it, let's just make sure we get #2 and take on Texas

This. It's like Ned is doin everything possible to not get home field.
Maybe he knows something everyone else doesn't.

[ROYC75]

Fudge, I take out the dog and come back to a game that's over?


Just a fun night in KC sports!

His stuff ends up in the outfield seats. Big fucking deal about his stuff.

[lewdog]

His stuff ends up in the outfield seats. Big fucking deal about his stuff.

He's not ready for the bigs this year but his stuff is great. Can't make the same mistakes over the plate in the bigs you do in the minors. You'll see him up starting for this team in the next few years. Give him time. His stuff is real.

[Dartgod]

I didn't watch but 2 at bats, but in those 2 at bats I saw the Royals offense not giving a shit about winning.

I'll give you credit. Just in case there is one person who doesn't realize what a dumb fuck you are, you don't waste anytime making sure they know.

[tk13]

His stuff ends up in the outfield seats. Big ****ing deal about his stuff.

He's learning the hard way, no doubt. But if he figured it out, he'd be a monster weapon in the playoffs. He's probably killed any shot at this point, but they'd be stupid not to find out. He is going to be a starter for this team one day.

IIRC His stuff is supposed to be better than Venturas was at that age

[Great Expectations]

I've heard this as well and don't buy it. Ventura was electric the few times I saw him at that age.

[KCUnited]

Ugh.
