Lewdog loves late Friday night games. Mom lets me stay up past my bed time. It's Friday and I am already a few drinks in.

King Felix going to look like a chump tonight.

[lewdog]

California Whiskey Sours here at the Lewdog residence.

That's probably a bad omen after getting swept by the Angels?

Sorry for the loss.

[Rasputin]

Chris Jones balls for the win


Let's go Royals !!!!

I'm here for the gangbang

Let's get back on track starting tonight....

[LoneWolf]

Lewdog!!! FTMFW!!!

[Why Not?]

Ready for some baseball. Spent to much time watching the Chiefs, um, draft?

[lewdog]

This pitching matchup is a pitching matchup from Hell.

No way bro! Same amount of wins.

[lewdog]

No way bro! Same amount of wins.

ROFL

Yes!

[tk13]

If I'm not mistaken, this is our final west coast series of the year. Pretty amazing, we get them all out of the way in April. The final five months of the season, we don't have to do this again.

[big nasty kcnut]

Which is good! the royals will be more well rested!

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Already sick from watching the draft.

[eDave]

Lewdog GDT = Win

Sweeeet.

You can't spell Felix without RAPE.

[lewdog]

Got a jury duty noticed for Monday.

Called and my group number isn't required for Monday morning!

Bad news, it says I have to be available "on call" for possible afternoon call in. LAME.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

2 walks to start. Might AS WELL TRADE DOWN AGAIN.

[lewdog]

Fantastic start.

[petegz28]

How in the fuck do you go 0-2 to walks to 2 hitters in a row? JFC, Medlin get your head out of your ass

[petegz28]

This is a disturbing pattern that has gone on this entire month..

can't turn the double play...

we either bobble the ball, make bad throws or flat out boot it....and it kills us

[lewdog]

Didn't touch bag.

Oh well, not bad.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice job Omar.

[kstater]

Gonna wear their offense out

Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk

[petegz28]

And I believe this is the 4th game in a row the other team has had multiple runners on with less than 2 outs, in part courtesy of walks, in the 1st inning

[tk13]

Disaster averted.

[KChiefs1]

I'm not expecting a win tonight.

Don Mattingly just pulled his pitcher Adam Conley with 2 outs in the 8th inning, with a no-hitter. He was at 116 pitches.

[petegz28]

Man on 2nd, 0 outs..K-Mo needs to stop the suckage here

[eDave]

Man on 2nd, 0 outs..K-Mo needs to stop the suckage here

That'll do.

[lewdog]

Hosmer may never have the power but his swing is much more consistent this year.

[petegz28]

And of course we can't score a guy from 2nd with 0 outs....that is another very disturbing pattern this month

[kstater]

No he shouldn't have gone...he would have been out by 5 steps

Way to go, guys....a weak fly ball to the SS and 2 swings at the dirt and you strand Hosmer

[petegz28]

I know it's only April but this team sucks right now. We have not been able to move\score runners for shit this season. Our starting pitching has been meh at best and some of our "best hitters" are looking like total ass

[Why Not?]

Don Mattingly just pulled his pitcher Adam Conley with 2 outs in the 8th inning, with a no-hitter. He was at 116 pitches.

Not an unusually high number of K's or BB's either. 7/4. Must have gone 3-2 on a bunch of guys

[petegz28]

And another leadoff walk....fuck you, Medlin

[tk13]

Quit walking people.

[petegz28]

Medlin sucked his last 2 outings too..

[lewdog]

And another leadoff walk....fuck you, Medlin

Spell his name right and he might respond better, Peet.

[Why Not?]

Spell his name right and he might respond better, Peet.

Lol

[lewdog]

During our shitty run of playing, I like to compile my grocery list while I watch.

Tonight is no exception.

[petegz28]

He doesn't deserve it at the moment...Lou

[petegz28]

You didn't just walk the #9 hitter with 2 outs and a man on...

[C3HIEF3S]

Not exactly efficient so far.

[Why Not?]

At this rate Ned will have to pull Medlen from his no hitter attempt......after 4 innings

[Why Not?]

If you have Extra Innings, now's the time to flip to Marlins game

[C3HIEF3S]

Would have been funny if he struck out.

[Why Not?]

Hit for Brewers

[tk13]

Brewers get a hit with 1 out in the 9th to break up the Marlins no hitter.

[kstater]

Pete agrees with that call

It's pool season. Time to tone this body up.

That's a great play!

Lovely

[doomy3]

Hell of a play.

[lewdog]

He might get through 5.

[tk13]

Meanwhile, the Marlins had a no hitter in the 9th inning, leading 6-0.

It's now 6-3, and the Brewers have the bases loaded and could win the game with a home run. Baseball.

[Why Not?]

Really need Lo-Cain to get going. Maybe that's a start

[Why Not?]

Hoz wants that one back

Nasty

Horrid at bat.

That was the pitch Hos should've hammered. Might not get another.

[lewdog]

Perfect time to strand 2 runners here.

[tk13]

Just serve a base hit into the OF here.

[Why Not?]

JFC. Can't buy a hit with RISP

[Deberg_1990]

Gordon killing it.

Literally

[lewdog]

Time to go back to calling him Alice.

This is pathetic.

If there was one to give

[lewdog]

Fuck this bunting shit.

Move the runner over by making contact and give yourself a change to get on base too for a shitty hitting team. I do not like the small ball here early and middle of games.

[Why Not?]

Smart baseball by Seattle. Fuck our guys hit like pussies some times.

[Why Not?]

Dyson traditional pick off upcoming?

[tk13]

Dyson just needs to go here, try to replace Salvy.

[eDave]

**** this bunting shit.

Poorly executed

He absolutely does. We need to do SOMEthing to spark

EDIT: We just can't capitalize anymore. West coast sucks.

[Why Not?]

We only Score on a solo hr tonight. Only shot

[Bowser]

Holy shit Escobar, that pitch was over by the dugout.

[tk13]

Bleh.

[lewdog]

Have we looked this bad in a week+ stretch since 2013?

There was a stretch last September.

Yea but we were waltzing then.

Ned must read CP since he is throwing in the towel with Soria.

Soria still has his good stuff. He just has to throw it, and locate it. His stuff really does not look washed up.

This is going to be one of those classic situations where the starter pitches almost perfect all game and the bullpen can't get one out.

Fuck

[KevB]

This season shows just how fortunate we were last year getting big hits. It seemed every game we got the big hits when we needed them. This year, we can't fucking buy one.

[cosmo20002]

Royals late-inning come from behind magic has been in short supply so far this season.

Trade the farm for Carlos Gonzalez

[petegz28]

well, season is not over by any stretch of the imagination but this team better get it together. They've looked rather crapy in all facets this year. Can't get clutch hits. Can't move runners. Can't turn routine DP's. Giving up HR's. Giving up walks.

World Series hangover I guess...

[SPchief]

Yep, Nori still a dumbass

[petegz28]

well, get them tomorrow, I guess? Barring some actual scoring here in the 9th I'd say we're done for the evening. I'll watch the rest in bed.....

Offense is so bad right now. Gordon Striking out 39% of his ABs is unacceptable.

Just crazy, Kendrys almost hits a home run, Sal almost a double then almost a HR. This is like the baseball gods are laughing their asses off watching this.

[SPchief]

Hell of a catch

[tk13]

You could not have made that 9th inning more painful, close call after close call.

[lewdog]

Nice catch.

Too many chances to get to Felix in this where we didn't do shit.

[KevB]

Fuck you Alice.

Jesus.

He is a complete mess at the plate --- on the rare occasion when he squares up a ball, it feels like pure luck.

[eDave]

Hell of a catch

As good as a walkoff for them

[cosmo20002]

So we just lost a 1-hitter. :shake:

Gave up 1 hit all game and lost. That takes a team effort to lose that kind of game.

This team fucking suck right now, no doubt.

Uh yeah, I pointed that out already...but thanks

[petegz28]

This entire road trip has been a cluster fuck. When the bats were going the pitching sucked. When the pitching was good the bats sucked. Losing 1-0 is one thing. Losing 1-0 when you only gave up 1 fucking hit all game is pathetic.

ROFL. It's April for ****s sake. ROFL

April games only count 1/2 in the standings, luckily.

K-Mo swinging at a pitch that was never a strike on 3-2 when we needed runners was worse. He's been almost as bad as Gordon this year.

He had his mind made up before the pitch was even thrown.

[kcchiefsus]

Signing Gordon to such a huge contract was a mistake.

[T-post Tom]

Gordon and Zobrist have very similar career stats, but Zobrist is definitely outperforming Gordon this year. And for a lot less money on his contract. Maybe Dayton's loyalty was to the wrong player.

Still early .... still early .... still early ....:grouphug:

[tk13]

At least Gordon is contributing defensively. So he's not a complete liability out there. This team puts so much value on preventing runs, he's still contributing. I'd feel a lot better if he wasn't striking out so much.

That ball Salvy hit down the line was fair.

That the Royals broadcast didn't even show a replay of his hit down the line.

The replay looked fair yes


Is that an unchallengeable play?
