WooWoo

[bsroyals54]

whats the point

[LoneWolf]

I'd be an angry douchebag too, if I looked like this big eared bitch.

I haven't seen eyes that close together since I went skiing.

[LoneWolf]

I wonder which Royal is going to wear one tonight? My bet is on Escobar.

[AndChiefs]

I wonder which Royal is going to wear one tonight? My bet is on Escobar.

Hosmer

Merrifield

[C3HIEF3S]

Very professional 6 pitch inning to start off.

[KCUnited]

Sneezed and we're already to the bottom of the first.

[eDave]

Show some team unity and plunk Machado again.

EDIT: Punked him.

[C3HIEF3S]

Salvy that was very pretty.

[eDave]

Nice AB there Salvy.

[WhawhaWhat]

Any warnings issued before the game? I'm coming in a little late.

[baitism]

Fucking ump. You can't give him two inches on both sides of the plate.

[Simply Red]

how bad are they down?

[LoneWolf]

Atta boy, steady Eddie.

[eDave]

how bad are they down?

Sup Red? I haven't said hello in a while. How rude of me.

[C3HIEF3S]

you stupid motherfuckers.

[eDave]

One of those games I see.

[Dartgod]

Dammit, Dyson!

Why are we even bunting there anyway? We're not winning this game 1-0.

[Al Bundy]

MASSIVE fail for Cuthbert and Dyson.

[baitism]

We deserve that for bunting in the third.

[Jerok]

That double play bunt is +EV for the season. Maybe Ned will stop bunting early in the game with no outs with a runner on second, who might score with a hit anyway...

[petegz28]

How in the Fuck do you bunt into a dp with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs...just wow

[eDave]

Bunted again. Oooph.

[Dartgod]

How in the Fuck do you bunt into a dp with a runner on 2nd and 0 outs...just wow

Why in the fuck do you bunt in the first place? That's the better question.

[Jerok]

And when you bunt, for the love of God, don't bunt several times in a row. Just do it and surprise them or else they'll be right there to catch them.

[God of Thunder]

Help me out here - why didn't he have to tag the runner on second? It wasn't a force was it?

[lewdog]

Hosmer wears one. No doubt on that tonight.

[petegz28]

I don't think I've ever seen so much leg shutting with risp

[Dartgod]

Help me out here - why didn't he have to tag the runner on second? It wasn't a force was it?

Because Dyson popped the bunt up. It was caught in the air.

[C3HIEF3S]

Help me out here - why didn't he have to tag the runner on second? It wasn't a force was it?

If the ball bounced before Flaherty caught it, then CC would have to be tagged.

[bsroyals54]

Especially don't fucking bunt when the 3rd baseman knows you are and is close enough to catch the damn thing

[C3HIEF3S]

Dyson, that was pathetic.

[God of Thunder]

Because Dyson popped the bunt up. It was caught in the air.

AHHHH yeah - dear lord I was so confused.

[C3HIEF3S]

That is where, regardless of how weak his bat his, it kills us not having Gordon.

[eDave]

That is where, regardless of how weak his bat his, it kills us not having Gordon.

Yup. All those injuries are hurting us bad.

[C3HIEF3S]

Yup. All those injuries are hurting us bad.

No runner even thinks about running to second on that hit with the presence of Gordon in the field. Luckily it didn't hurt the Royals there.

[bsroyals54]

All teams have to do really is IBB hosmer, he is the ONLY offensive threat

[eDave]

That DP attempt was slow as molasses. Thought my stream was lagging.

[Jerok]

All teams have to do really is IBB hosmer, he is the ONLY offensive threat

They should put Hoz as the leadoff guy, he walks a lot!

[C3HIEF3S]

2-run bomb, two-hopper to second.. same thing.

[Deberg_1990]

Morales suuuu*******s

[bsroyals54]

They should put Hoz as the leadoff guy, he walks a lot!

Yes we would have a chance the 1st inning of every game

[baitism]

We need to win this effing game.

[eDave]

We need to win this effing game.

This tie is very satisfying.

[suzzer99]

Fucking goddam Omar throwing away that double play. None of this happens w/o that.

[Deberg_1990]

Ned Yost

Best Royals manager of all time

[petegz28]

Man on 2nd 0 out we bunt into a DP...
Got a guy down 0-2...you walk him...

that's how we are rollin'

[petegz28]

****ing goddam Omar throwing away that double play. None of this happens w/o that.

Exactly...that started this entire shit fest....

[petegz28]

We need to win this effing game.

Dude, we'll be lucky to score in this game let alone win

[lewdog]

Ned Yost

Best Royals manager of all time

That's a statement, not a question.

[petegz28]

Now the guy who went 0-2 to a walk is on 2nd with 1 out....this is probably where the game gets lost

[eDave]

As long as it stays tied, Hosmer won't have to eat one.

[lewdog]

As long as it stays tied, Hosmer won't have to eat one.

This is correct.

[petegz28]

0-2 to 3-2 for the 2nd time this inning....the game is about to be lost

[lewdog]

I hate this team right now.


HATE.

[eDave]

What to say. What to say.....

Fudge.

[petegz28]

I hate this team right now.


HATE.

Not much to like is there? We are self-destructing at every given opportunity to do so

[petegz28]

Eddie walks 2 guys in one inning that he had down 0-2...in a 0-0 game....horrendous.

[lewdog]

Nice fucking play on the ball, Paulo.

:facepalm:

[petegz28]

0-2 to 3-2 for the 2nd time this inning....the game is about to be lost

well, that's the game, folks

[eDave]

Everything stinks man.

[Simply Red]

well sorry you can't leave the ball over the plate like that - Jesus. That's awful.

[Deberg_1990]

Catchable ball there


Paulo messed up

/signed Aoki

[petegz28]

This inning is all on Volquez....2 walks to guys he had down 0-2 then a meatball that he is lucky stayed in the park and wasn't a grand slam.....

[suzzer99]

This is different than our rough streak a month or so ago. In that we were still hitting, staying in games and just not getting lucky. We're just getting annihilated right now in every phase of the game. Final score 9-1.

[petegz28]

And the 2nd 0-2 to a walk scores......

[eDave]

Seriously.

[Simply Red]

This inning is all on Volquez....2 walks to guys he had down 0-2 then a meatball that he is lucky stayed in the park and wasn't a grand slam.....

agree He need his ass beat!

[C3HIEF3S]

I haven't been this low on the Royals since I have started watching them in 2012.

[Deberg_1990]

Game over?

[lewdog]

Another early night for me to not watch this abortion.

[Al Bundy]

Game is definitely over. They have no fight.

[eDave]

Another early night for me to not watch this abortion.

https://s3media.247sports.com/Uploads/Boards/257/21257/39077.jpg

[Why Not?]

Look on the bright side. Eddie out pitched James Shields tonight

[Al Bundy]

I'd say any luster these minor league guys have has worn off.

[C3HIEF3S]

Another early night for me to not watch this abortion.

When we can count the amount of runs this team has scored in the last 4.5 games on one hand, then something is quite awry in our sports-viewing lives.

[suzzer99]

I feel like maybe teams have finally figured out to just throw us nothing but crap and stop trying to blow us away.

I wonder if Ned will make some lineup changes if we continue to suck this bad through the road trip. Generally those happen after Sunday.

[baitism]

Your leadoff hitter should not be the guy hitting .249.

[suzzer99]

The shitty versions of every Royal are all back. Weak groundout to the right side Hosmer is back.

[suzzer99]

Hard to win when you score 4 runs in 6 games.

[bsroyals54]

never fuckin mind

[Bowser]

how many runs do the royals have on this road trip?

-6

[bsroyals54]

Escobar you know you don't HAVE to make an out right?

[SPchief]

wHit

[tk13]

Well that's going to be an answer to a trivia question someday.

[baitism]

The good news is they probably won't be able to drill Hosmer now.

[Why Not?]

Nice job, assholes. Gonna be shutout by the Orioles. Unreal

[bsroyals54]

Sprint Trivia Question: Who is the most depressing team to watch currently?

[Al Bundy]

Terrible at bat for Perez. This team sucks right now.

[tk13]

Can't buy a run. Hit it hard, just right at someone.

[baitism]

8 hits, 0 runs. Royals baseball.

[bsroyals54]

Yes bring out all the postseason stock footage, thats about all we're going to have the next 30-40 years

[baitism]

Yes bring out all the postseason stock footage, thats about all we're going to have the next 30-40 years

Eh. It's a hell of a lot more than I ever expected ten years ago.

[tk13]

Time to put odds on whether Morales gets one in the ribs here.

[eDave]

Time to put odds on whether Morales gets one in the ribs here.

Won't happen. Everyone knows that was pure Ventura. Royals are not accountable in this one.

[tk13]

As a side note, Shields has given up more ER his last two starts than Arrieta or Kershaw have the entire season.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Jesus Christ we suck !

[journeyscarab]

Man we've gone flat.

[Al Bundy]

They are on their way to quitting here I think.

[Al Bundy]

Volquez didn't care at all about losing. Looked pretty happy walking off the mound knowing he was taking a loss.

[Mizzou_8541]

Zero runs on nine hits. Impressive.

[Priest31kc]

Worst week of Royals baseball in quite a while...

[ChiTown]

Good times.

[Munson]

Glad I didn't even bother watching tonight.

Time to move on and sweep the Sox.

[ChiTown]

I watched. I just opted to do two or three other things while I was watching the game. These guys fucking stink right now. They know it, we know. They're going to have to do something to change their fortunes. Unfortunately, I think they get swept by the Sox as well. Unlike in Baltimore, They are going to face some really good pitching in Chicago. I predict rape.

[petegz28]

apparently scoring runs is something we've decided is overrated

[C3HIEF3S]

He is. Now for the negatives. The majority of position players can't hit shit and there's not a single pitcher who can be counted on to go 6 innings

ol' Patient Ned? Yeah.... lol

This is also right.

Haha. Indeed

[eDave]

Haha. Indeed

All fixable. Except the pitching.
