***Nationals at Royals GDT 05/03***

[RealSNR]

Fuck Montreal or wherever the fuck these assholes are from. It doesn't matter. We're beating them tonight. My last GDT was a CY win, and so is this one.

Rape'em, Royals!

:Royals:

[Rasputin]

In for the Raping Win

[eDave]

I support RealSNR. He smells like victory.

[BWillie]

Just bean Bryce Harper. Please god, don't let Chris Young throw a high strike to him.

[DMAC]

The season is over. No point in game threads.

[DMAC]

You know that's BULLSHIT LET'S FUCKING DO THIS

[cosmo20002]

Royals runs scored--under/over 1.5
I'm not sure

Fuck. I forgot Young was pitching.

I might just watch Teen Mom with my wife.

Can we go to the BP yet?

[blake1771]

so this game will end 1-0 obviously

[KCUnited]

There goes the no hitter.

We really suck in the 1st inning

[Deberg_1990]

Chris Young......


I'll just accept the loss

[eDave]

Harper contained.

[C3HIEF3S]

That one run probably means this one is out of reach. Hot take of the night.

[eDave]

That one run probably means this one is out of reach. Hot take of the night.

LOL. I know you are kidding.

I love baseball. Giving up after 1/2 inning now. But that will change too.

[petegz28]

5-1 says Esky gets stranded...3-1 gets stranded on 1st

Worse. :clap:

[LoneWolf]

Cain might need to take a couple games off.

[mr. tegu]

So Cain is just going to keep going with that upper cut.

[C3HIEF3S]

This has been the most painful stretch of Royals baseball to watch since the 12 game losing streak in 2012.

[petegz28]

5-1 says Esky gets stranded...3-1 gets stranded on 1st
Lmao god damn we suck

[KCUnited]

Haha, basehit and a 5 pitch inning. Royals baseball.

[Dartgod]

WE'RE GONNA WIN!

[petegz28]

Was that even 5 pitches?

[Dartgod]

He didn't make contact. Stupid fucking ump.

[New World Order]

Good inning CY

Overcame that shitty call.

[blake1771]

well go to the opposite fucking field then.

[RealSNR]

Cain might need to take a couple games off.

He's so awful he almost needs to do what Moose did in 2014. It's pretty bad right now.

[New World Order]

2010 Gordo has returned.

[RealSNR]

Hey guys, let's try to get this pitcher to throw 10 pitches in 2 innings, k?

Gotta start with the small goals.

You fucking flaming pieces of shit.

[Rasputin]

Good fucking grief Charlie Brown.

[cosmo20002]

Offense looking tough so far

[lewdog]

Send Cain to AAA.

[KCUnited]

Dodged a bullet with Danks being DFA.

[jimidollar]

I'm not even hoping for wins anymore. Just score one fucking run.

[Jerok]

I'm not even hoping for wins anymore. Just score one ****ing run.

Hopefully it's not another 1 0 game. Losing in the first sucks.

[Dartgod]

Amazing what you can accomplish by taking a few pitches.

[KCUnited]

Take a pitch after a walk? You gots to go!

[Rasputin]

I'm not even hoping for wins anymore. Just score one fucking run.

[cosmo20002]

Not sure if I can take it if we don't at least get one here...

[suzzer99]

The good news is our starting pitching looks really good this year.

[cosmo20002]

Hallelujah!

[Dartgod]

OMG!!!

A RUN!!

[Rasputin]

Yes now get the lead.

[Dartgod]

Don't take a pitch Cain. That would be ludicrous.

[RealSNR]

I don't know what half of this sabremetric shit means.

What the fuck is an RBI?

[KCUnited]

Francain

[eDave]

I don't know what half of this sabremetric shit means.

What the **** is an RBI?

You trollin?

[Rasputin]

Hope he throws a wild pick off play into the Royals dugout.

[Al Bundy]

C'mon Cain.

[Rasputin]

Oh fucksakes

[KevB]

Yesterday and today are far and away the worst I've ever seen of Cain. He's completely lost it.

[Al Bundy]

Shit at bat for Cain...

[Rasputin]

Eric Stud Hosmer at bat.

[siberian khatru]

Christ almighty

[suzzer99]

Like a monkey fucking a football.

[thebrad84]

Cain and Alice Gordon are killing this team offensively

[KevB]

looking at strikes, swinging at balls

[eDave]

Yesterday and today are far and away the worst I've ever seen of Cain. He's completely lost it.

Your point is valid. But that last pitch was sick.

[cosmo20002]

Woo Hoo!
Is this real life?

[Al Bundy]

HOZ!!

[Dartgod]

WOOHOOOO!! We have a lead!

[KevB]

Another ground ball hit for Hos, but we'll certainly take it

[eDave]

I love the Royals again! To the ship!

[siberian khatru]

Thank Hos

[tk13]

What is that crooked number on the scoreboard? Is that legal?

[Rasputin]

Eric Stud Hosmer at bat.

Hosmer is my favorite professional athlete .

[suzzer99]

Daniel Murphy the gift that keeps on giving.

[cosmo20002]

Cain and Alice Gordon are killing this team offensively

Morales not helping.

[blake1771]

in Morales defense he has had some hard hit balls....to the warning track. but he's coupled that with some shit strikeouts and hitting into the shift.

[KCUnited]

Least we don't have to worry about Kenny injuring himself on home plate this year.

[C3HIEF3S]

That one run probably means this one is out of reach. Hot take of the night.

I knew it

[mr. tegu]

Your point is valid. But that last pitch was sick.
It's very hittable if you aren't trying to swing with an upper cut as hard as possible every time. That's a pitch with a two strike count your three hitter should at least be fouling off and he would if he was just hitting the ball where it's thrown.

[RealSNR]

You trollin?

No it's a joke, see, because the Royals are in an offensive funk. Get it?

[KevB]

in Morales defense he has had some hard hit balls....to the warning track. but he's coupled that with some shit strikeouts and hitting into the shift.

He definitely hasn't helped matters, but I agree. He's had some good swings that didn't result in a hit. Whereas Cain and Gordo just look completely flustered every at bat, rarely squaring a ball up. Gordo broke 2 bats in one at bat yesterday.

[mr. tegu]

Another ground ball hit for Hos, but we'll certainly take it
That ball was smoked but again it was just a few feet fron being an out. Its why I am not worried. Our problem has not been runners it's just been RISP hitting and a lot of it has been the random sequencing of bad luck. Though there have been some bad ABs in there as well.

[Rasputin]

We need another 10 runs to win with Young pitching.

[KevB]

Hos gets quite a few ground ball hits for a middle of the order guy, but he hits them hard. Probably won't ever be a big home run guy because of it. Still a very good player, not a criticism.

[cosmo20002]

Alex's average currently sitting at a nice round .200.

[petegz28]

Young can't shit away the lead quick enough can he?

[eDave]

Any longer and this is on Mr. Ned Yost.

[lewdog]

Any longer and this is on Mr. Ned Yost.

Agreed.

[Dartgod]

Nice pitch. Now we just need a double play from a fly ball pitcher.

[C3HIEF3S]

Omar isn't turning that with a perfect feed from Colon there..

[lewdog]

Need a huge fucking strikeout here.

HUGE.

HOCH.

[siberian khatru]

Yes, let's load the bases for God

[Rasputin]

OMG why even let Young load the bases?

[Dartgod]

Put that in your pocket Omar.

[eDave]

Sit down CY.

[Dartgod]

Got a bad feeling about this.

[Dartgod]

Get him out of there.

[Munson]

Great job, Hoch.

[ChiefsCountry]

Nothing to worry about.

[lewdog]

HOO BOY!!!

[eDave]

Even that looked awkward.

[siberian khatru]

The Fireman

[Rasputin]

Yost dodged a bullet by letting CY load the bases. We can't always get out of that and rely on our bullpen.

[Dartgod]

Moar runs please

[eDave]

Yost dodged a bullet by letting CY load the bases. We can't always get out of that and rely on our bullpen.

Team is twerked from top to bottom. Hope they are just working some shit out.

[lewdog]

I need to shower. Do I do that in bottom or top half?

[KevB]

One way to tell a guy isn't seeing the ball well....check swings. LoCain and Gordo checking a lot of swings.

[Dartgod]

I need to shower. Do I do that in bottom or top half?

Bottom. We can't lose the lead while we're batting. I don't think we can anyway.

[eDave]

Bottom. We can't lose the lead while we're batting. I don't think we can anyway.

LMAO

[petegz28]

Is there some new rule that says we have to consistently put leadoff runners on base?

[KevB]

Murphy is such a whiny bitch

[lewdog]

Just got back from showering.

WTF?

[Dartgod]

What in the Holy fuck?

[C3HIEF3S]

I have never seen such dumbfuckery on a baseball field.

[Al Bundy]

Cain is taking his at bats to the field.

[Mizzou_8541]

The fuck was that?

[KevB]

This team needs to pull their damn heads out of their asses. This is embarrassing some of the mistakes this team is making every night now.

[Jerok]

Dyson? What?

[tk13]

Well that was a Kerry Robinson moment.

[petegz28]

And that's gonna be the ball game...

[Three7s]

This is a pretty bad team.

[siberian khatru]

I'll always remember that time in 2016 we led a game for a couple of innings

[petegz28]

Amazing how we strand runners yet this poor offense of the Nats moves them around...

[C3HIEF3S]

This group of players apparently won the World Series last season

[Dartgod]

Come on ump!

[Pitt Gorilla]

Embarrassing. I suppose this is what resting on one's laurels looks like.

[petegz28]

WTF, Ump?

[petegz28]

And just like that the game is probably over...

[Dartgod]

KC 3
WASH 3
UMPS 1

[Three7s]

This group of players apparently won the World Series last season
I kind of wonder if they're taking the foot off the gas after winning it all. Obviously, it's impossible for me to know something that would only something only the clubhouse could hold, but it's obvious that they aren't playing anywhere close to the same level as last year, or even the year before that.

[eDave]

I'd hate to be at this game.

[petegz28]

These guys are just going through the motions..

no fire..no heart

[KevB]

Not one trip to the mound during any of this cluster fuck. JFC. And LoCain, if you're going to get there, may as well put your damn glove in the air, ball may well go in it.

[ChiTown]

Welp........5 might as well be 50 right now.

[DJJasonp]

jeebus - this is pathetic.

Just dont see that "all out" approach anymore.

[eDave]

But they were, out of the gate. They got it in them. I'm going with rope-a-dope. Hover at .500 till it's time.

[blake1771]

that ball looked like it landed right in front of Cain. maybe it was just the angle but it really looked like he didn't' know where the ball was and that he could have made a play on it.

[Dartgod]

These guys are just going through the motions..

no fire..no heart

Bullshit. They're in a funk, that's all.

It's fucking asinine to question this team's heart after the last two years.

Your and fucking idiot.

[Jerok]

Ok 5 3 washington, their broadcasters are getting real cocky, saying how they've shut the Royals crown up and how the National's players like it. Let's make this a 6 5 truly Royal victory

[Rasputin]

I wouldn't be concerned if our bats were hot but they have been cold. fuck.

[mr. tegu]

Bullshit. They're in a funk, that's all.

It's fucking asinine to question this team's heart after the last two years.

Your and fucking idiot.
There is a reason there are not many participants in these threads lately.

[petegz28]

Just like last week..when our bats started going our pitching shit all over itself....when our pitching was going our bats stayed home....

Ned can talk about the fun energy all he wants...this team flat out stinks right now

[Three7s]

But they were, out of the gate. They got it in them. I'm going with rope-a-dope. Hover at .500 till it's time.
If they wait too long to get rolling, they might fall short. Much like what happened in 2013.

[tk13]

Well one thing is for sure, if Cain keeps playing like this we don't have to worry about him getting a six figure contract.

[cosmo20002]

That fly ball to Dyson has to be the biggest :facepalm: in the field I've seen in a couple years on this team.

[ChiTown]

Bullshit. They're in a funk, that's all.

It's ****ing asinine to question this team's heart after the last two years.

Your and ****ing idiot.

Amen! This is just baseball. To question The heart of this group is fucking BS

[KevB]

Ok 5 3 washington, their broadcasters are getting real cocky, saying how they've shut the Royals crown up and how the National's players like it. Let's make this a 6 5 truly Royal victory

Sounds like a team that hasn't won anything of significance in their history. In fact, that's the type of shit the Royals used to say before we finally did something meaningful. Congrats on winning a couple of games first week of May.

[petegz28]

Bullshit. They're in a funk, that's all.

It's ****ing asinine to question this team's heart after the last two years.

Your and ****ing idiot.

They aren't playing with much heart right now. Last year was last year. I see a lot of heads in asses is what I see...

[tk13]

If they wait too long to get rolling, they might fall short. Much like what happened in 2013.

In 2013 they had a disastrous, disastrous May. Had a stretch where they lost something like 20 of 25.

With the two wild cards... if you hang around .500... you'll be in the mix for a stretch run.

[petegz28]

:facepalm: WTF?

[C3HIEF3S]

LMAO

[Rasputin]

I won't worry about them until All Star game. That's when they will get the lotion in motion and crank it up. They are just rubbing it raw right now. Need lube.

[petegz28]

In 2013 they had a disastrous, disastrous May. Had a stretch where they lost something like 20 of 25.

Well after tonight we will have gone from 6 games over to even .500 in all of 8 days

[cosmo20002]

Bullshit. They're in a funk, that's all.

It's ****ing asinine to question this team's heart after the last two years.

I don't buy the 'no heart' shit either. They're just sucking.

[mr. tegu]

We swept SF in the regular season in 2014.

[KevB]

Well one thing is for sure, if Cain keeps playing like this we don't have to worry about him getting a six figure contract.

If Cain keeps playing like this (he won't of course), he wouldn't even deserve to be playing. Never seen him struggle in all phases like this.

[Dartgod]

What did I miss?

[eDave]

If they wait too long to get rolling, they might fall short. Much like what happened in 2013.

Good thing there are 136 games left after this one.

[Jerok]

We were always a second half team. Let's get to the half a handful of games above 500 and we're golden.

[petegz28]

What did I miss?

Alex striking out...

There's over 130 games left Pete. In 2014 they went from under .500 and 7 or 8 games back to first place in a couple weeks. There's still plenty of time for them to run away from the division or fall into a giant hole behind the White Sox.

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the Royals are done for the night.

[cosmo20002]

Alex batting .198

[KevB]

Gordon and Cain need to see a sports shrink. You can see both of them just gripping in every at bat....no confidence at all.

[Three7s]

Well, as far as right now, the whole team is pressing, especially Cain. The worst part is a lot of that pressing is starting to show up defensively too. The Cain AB in the 3rd inning was a classic example of overthinking and not letting his instincts and natural ability take over.

It's one thing to press on offense, but when it starts to affect your defense, then that's when you have a problem.

[ChiTown]

This team is currently a....

[petegz28]

Good thing there are 136 games left after this one.

Problem is we have this tradition of getting into a funk in late April\early May that tend to fuck us for the rest of the season...the last 2 years being a bit of an exception.

This team just looks plain flat right now. They aren't doing anything good. Crappy defense in the OF, can't turn DP's, crappy starting pitching, crappy relief pitching, can't move runners and sure as fuck can't hit with RISP...

[lewdog]

I would never say this team isn't playing with heart.

But I don't think their concentration is in these games with as many defensive miss plays as we've seen. That's something that should be fairly consistent for this team. Hitting is a different story. This team has always been streaky at the plate.

[cosmo20002]

We were always a second half team. Let's get to the half a handful of games above 500 and we're golden.

Always? When? 1 year in the past 30?

[mr. tegu]

It's good to see Soria looking good lately.

They're pressing. Pressing at the plate and now their defense is subpar because they know they can't afford to give up many runs. It will turn around. Soon, I hope.

[Why Not?]

Harper has literally done nothing and we're still getting our dicks kicked in this series

[Dartgod]

Thank God.

[New World Order]

Is Bobby Knight still campaigning with Trump?

We need to get him in the clubhouse asap.

[mr. tegu]

when was that exactly?
No earned runs last four innings.

[Three7s]

I mean they aren't showing heart. I know they have heart. I know they want to win. But they aren't playing like it.
When you're pressing, you're trying too hard. When you try too hard, you do worse because you tense up and your body and mind isn't able to react naturally. It's not that they're lacking heart, but maybe that they have too much heart, at the moment.

[petegz28]

I know what you mean but I don't see the pressing. Well maybe the last couple games but all season they have been kinda blah.

[Dartgod]

Why do they keep calling this guy Roar Ark? Is there an extra R on his uniform that I'm not seeing?

This.

The only thing I'm concerned about (even though the numbers go against me, at least as far as Dyson's OBP goes) is RF. Never was a fan of Dyson/Orlando there. Hopefully there's a reasonably priced RF on the market in July. I hope I'm wrong but I just don't think that's gonna work.

Not good enough anymore. :)

[kcchiefsus]

At least we won it all last year. These pussies have lost whatever magic they had.

[tk13]

Well this would be a good time for Morales to whack one.

[cosmo20002]

Alex crushes one. I'll take it.

[KevB]

How do you check swing on a 3-1 count with a ball right down the middle? Gordon got lucky though, for once.

[lewdog]

Eat shit all you losers who left early!

[eDave]

Not buying it.

[lewdog]

And great pinch run here Ned. You actually used it correctly here.

[ChiefsCountry]

No heart team. Bunch of fucking pussies.

No kidding

Safe regardless.

Helluva throw though damn

Out if he hangs onto it there.

WOW. Amazing throw.

[ChiefsCountry]
