They have the same wRC as the Cubs pitchers.


Vegas Odds: Royals -190 faves, second biggest odds after Cubs vs Pirates with Arrieta on the mound.

We'll lose !

[Bowser]

Ok, that graph is pretty staggering. To be the worst in live ball era is one thing, but to be THAT far behind literally everyone else? Historic.

So, we're going to lose this, then?

The other teams listed are the 10 best in that category.

[Bowser]

That's what I get for not reading the entire OP. I thought those teams were the worst with Atlanta twice as bad as all of them, lol.

So, we're going to win now?

Essentially, they can't hit, but when they do they hit singles. Of all the funny things we can say about this dogshit lineup, there's 1 trump card - this turd hit 6th last night:

Pathetic that vet turds like him just won't go away

[C3HIEF3S]

Pathetic that vet turds like him just won't go away

Not when half of the league's "vet turds" compile onto one team that we can play in the midst of coming off of a 2-5 road trip.

[petegz28]

WTF?? 0-2 to a walk??? What is with our pitching staff??

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Our pitching coach as well as our hitting coach need a boot in their asses.

[petegz28]

I'm starting to get the impression that Omar's days are numbered...

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice start. Freeman can walk to first four times tonight for all I care.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I'm starting to get the impression that Omar's days are numbered...

Yep, and what are we going to do with the Cuthbert situation ?

[C3HIEF3S]

Yep, and what are we going to do with the Cuthbert situation ?

Has Cuthbert ever played second?

[petegz28]

he's safe...challenge

[siberian khatru]

Good Lord

[Munson]

Looked safe to me.

[petegz28]

WTF???

[C3HIEF3S]

Has Cuthbert ever played second?

Never mind, just found this blip in an article:

"I do take a lot of ground balls at second every day," Cuthbert said. "And I played some second in Spring Training."

The question, eventually, for Royals officials is would Cuthbert be a better option than Colon/Infante, both veterans who handle the position defensively with above-average success, though Infante has had his struggles at times this year.

"It's just a matter of getting his footwork down there," Yost said.

[petegz28]

That inning went to shit quick.. and WTF are you swinging at, Morales?

[Munson]

Horrible strikeout.

[siberian khatru]

Has Cuthbert ever played second?

[jimidollar]

This is Royas baseball.

[ChiTown]

Morales has been an absolute turd through the first 20% of the season. He needs to get his ass going

[C3HIEF3S]

There's Frenchy!

[petegz28]

Ugh...we are shooting ourselves in the foot right now.....

[ChiTown]

I wish AJ Polockski would just fucking die already

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I was more thinking Colon takes second and so what do we do with Cuthbert. Maybe DH him and sit Morales.

[petegz28]

Wind kept that in the park

[lewdog]

I drank too much and can barely stay awake.

Or is that just this baseball team?

[C3HIEF3S]

Infante is going to get very good at that game by the end of this year.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

I drank too much and can barely stay awake.

Or is that just this baseball team?

Heh, I was there yesterday. On the 2nd 12 pack at the start of the game.

[jimidollar]

We had a runner at third in both innings. We should get half a run for that.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Orlando is one of my fav's

[Al Bundy]

Why is he bunting there?????

[petegz28]

:facepalm: nice bunt, Esky.....

we can't help but follow up something good with something bad

[Munson]

Esky screwed us that inning.

[Al Bundy]

Inning ruined by a stupid fucking bunt.

[petegz28]

I think you have to go all the way back to the Houston series to see the last time we won 2 games in a row....

[petegz28]

Shot!

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

YESSSSSSS !!!!!

[Munson]

Salvy says fuck you!

[Al Bundy]

Looks like the Braves are trying to out-stupid the Royals.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Looks like the Braves are trying to out-stupid the Royals.

Can't be done.

[petegz28]

rotten fucking luck....

[C3HIEF3S]

rotten fucking luck....

No it isn't. They know where he's going to hit it.

[jimidollar]

AleKs.

[tk13]

Joe Randa had 6 hits in a game once didn't he? It was that game in Detroit where we scored something like 26 runs.

[petegz28]

that hit him Ump..WTF??

[petegz28]

What in the fucking fuck is going on!!!! BULLSHIT!

[bsroyals54]

Braves offense cannot be worse than the Royals, they are both impressively bad

[jimidollar]

Two aces on the mound today.

[Munson]

Fucked by the ump.

[petegz28]

so they are calling it a foul ball but they appealed on a swing?

[mr. tegu]

Paulo was acting too tough there.

[petegz28]

so we get jobbed on the call at 1st which cost us our challenge..they we get HIBP and they don't allow it....

[Jerok]

Paulo didn't even flinch. Too tough, yah.

[petegz28]

what I don't get is if they ruled it didn't hit, they are saying it hit the bat, so then why do you appeal the swing?

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Can't even outscore a 0 run team . Pathetic !

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We just lost !

[jimidollar]

Well, good game.

[petegz28]

Most likely that's game over the way we are playing tonight....

[Dartgod]

Getting out played by the worst fucking team in baseball.

[siberian khatru]

Once again a hitter down 0-2 in the count rallies to hurt us

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Can't even outscore a 0 run team . Pathetic !

you're a god damn genious ! Now shut the fug up !

[wazu]

Man, I had forgotten how much it sucks to suck.

[baitism]

Do these guys even fucking care? Cain fucking loafing to first on a double play earlier pissed me off.

[petegz28]

We had a great chance to pick up a game on both Cleveland and Chicago with a win tonight.

Since the Houston series we have been incapable of winning 2 games in a row....

[petegz28]

it'll be 4 if not 5-0 after this inning

[Al Bundy]

Gee is trash.

[bsroyals54]

Braves 2 gud

[petegz28]

it'll be 4 if not 5-0 after this inning

or not...

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

We need a new hitting coach. And some new hitters !

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Why are we swinging at so many bad pitches ??????????????????

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

And Cain takes strike 3 looking straight down the middle. Pathetic !

[KevB]

This is nuts....

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Well, if the bullpen can hold and our offense remembers how to swing the bats, we may still have a chance. The Braves have only scored more than 3 runs once in the last 11 games, so more than likely they're done scoring for the night.

Yeah, that's end of the optimism.

We're being dominated by a guy with a 4.76 ERA. The Braves (or the Twins) are without a doubt the worst team in baseball. Pathetic. These guys just seem to have 'hung it up' since getting their World Series rings.

Embarrassing for the fans who are actually paying to watch this garbage tonight. They should be given refunds as they leave.

[ChiTown]

Our offense is a shit stain. We are getting shut out by a chump

[Cheater5]

http://www.fangraphs.com/library/offense/wrc/

Appreciate it.

I stopped reading after five seconds, though. I guess some crazy complicated formula says the Royals are losing to a historically inept team.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Guy on radio just said Royals haven't won back to back games in nearly 3 weeks.

Wow.

That's a special kind of bad. Even the Twins and Braves have managed that.

[jimidollar]

Bring on football season.

[lewdog]

Bring on football season.

You're right.

If the Chiefs could ever do what the Royals did, it would be fantastic.

[bsroyals54]

You're right.

If the Chiefs could ever do what the Royals did, it would be fantastic.

Chiefs don't play baseball

[lewdog]

Chiefs don't play baseball

You're right, they play a sport with more parity and still can't win.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

This is a remarkably terrible performance against a remarkably terrible pitcher.

[petegz28]

this is fucking embarrassing.....5-0 to a team that hasn't won 10 games all season

[siberian khatru]

Pathetic

[lewdog]

Whelp, I'm done.

[ChiTown]

Yeah, this team is fucking seriously fucked up right now.

[Dartgod]

It's officially time to start worrying

[TribalElder]

Oh no, we suck again

shut out at home....we really are not a very good team right now....

[TribalElder]

We're going down with the ship.

Too soon to start to worry?

Let's all leave and come back in thirty years.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Shutout by Atlanta? Sheesh

KC will get hot...at least that's my opinion from afar. Maybe I'm just used to seeing KC beat Chicago. We'll see next weekend.

Meh. We were swept by a 100+ loss Astros squad in '14. You're gonna lose to bad teams.

I'm concerned with our SP rotation being only two-strong & trotting out a plate of Colon, Infante, Dyson & Orlando...not a good future outlook. Those guys aren't good enough. They've proven not to be.

If you can't hit and can't pitch, you're lucky you're hovering around .500. If it keeps up, it'll get worse. Moose will be back soon which is good. I think they'll break out of it with faith in Moore doing something about Dyson/Orlando/Infante/Colon. They're just not good enough.
