Good/Bad Yordano inning-by-inning determination:
1st inning: Good Yordano
2nd: inning: Good Yordano
3rd inning: Good Yordano
4th inning: Good Yordano
5th inning: Good Yordano
6th inning: Good Yordano
7th inning: Good Yordano
Final Verdict: Today, ladies and gentlemen, we saw good Yordano Ventura.

[C3HIEF3S]

Solid swing from Kendrys hides the stupidity of having to have Esky bunt with Whit on 2nd and 0 outs. Then again, Esky wouldn't have done anything better.

[Dartgod]

So what inning is he going to drill Bret Lawrie in the head and kill him?

[KChiefs1]

Hopefully Morales turns it around.

My heart tells me he's safe. But it doesn't look like they have a definitive camera angle

[KChiefs1]

Nothing to show it was clearly out or safe.

Just get rid of replay. It doesn't work, it slows down the game, and it has allowed for more bullshit ticky-tak calls.

[Deberg_1990]

So the bad call cost us a run. Nice.

[C3HIEF3S]

God damn it. Stay on the bag and you're safe, CC.

[Munson]

Tuned in just in time to see Esky with a half-ass swing to strike out and end the inning.

[C3HIEF3S]

Rodon recorded a grand total of one out himself that inning.

[Deberg_1990]

Too many over slides. Players have learned to just hold the tag longer and replay will take care of the rest.

[KCUnited]

Don't really understand running there.

[C3HIEF3S]

Yordano's breaking balls are all finishing at the knees or lower so far today. Good sign.

[KCUnited]

Good lord, stop giving them outs.

[C3HIEF3S]

Giving a shit pitcher too many free outs.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Just got here . Has Morales done anything stupid yet ?

[C3HIEF3S]

Can't find anything on this "possible trade" that Fever referred to on Twitter.

EDIT: Oh you're fucking kidding me.

[KCUnited]

Chicago telecast: "Rex Hudler was Brett Lawrie before Brett Lawrie was Brett Lawrie".

[Munson]

Fuck. Hope Salvy isn't hurt too bad.

[KChiefs1]

Salvy hurt himself again.

Night and day with Yordano.

[Meatloaf]

They need to get Salvy outa there. Favoring the leg too much.

[C3HIEF3S]

Escobar: synonymous with dog ass.

[Discuss Thrower]

How'd he only get to second?

[eDave]

whew

[C3HIEF3S]

Bailing out the defense, fucking awesome Yordano.

[Dartgod]

Almost fucked it up, but Ventura did a nice job not allowing that inning to get away.

[WhawhaWhat]

Nice cans on that chick.

[cabletech94]

Nice cans on that chick.

didn't see them. will rewind.

[C3HIEF3S]

Unfazed by the homer. Nice job, Yo.

[C3HIEF3S]

Was just about to type how I would've preferred putting in Hoch there. Good job, Yo. Hell of a start.

[baitism]

Well, that worked out well.

[big nasty kcnut]

It's worked out!

[Al Bundy]

Ventura coming through today..

[Dartgod]

Man, if we could get pitching like this from Duffy and Ventura on a consistent basis...

[Deberg_1990]

Congrats to Ventura for not being a dumbass today!

[KChiefs1]

I've been wishing that for a few years.

[Dartgod]

Is Kendrys going to be a factory of suck the entire season? He has to turn it around at some point, right?

[Dartgod]

Salvy with the insurance blast!

[SAUTO]

Missed it all, clarify please.

[C3HIEF3S]

Missed it all, clarify please.

Some guy made pancakes resembling the White Sox announcers and Steve Stone's pancake looked like Hudler. There was no trade.

[eDave]

Bad decision to go home on the dribbler.

[petegz28]

WTF did you send him????Damn Jirsch you idiot!

[C3HIEF3S]

Hudler telling it like it is.

[Al Bundy]

Out by 2 miles.... TERRIBLE send.

[C3HIEF3S]

WTF did you send him????Damn Jirsch you idiot!

Stop, Pete.

[Mr. Laz]

Terrible send to home on that hit ... terrible.

Runner was DOA as soon as he went.

[petegz28]

Yes, Hud, we can get on Jirch for that...Cutty had no shot outside of a terrible throw

[Al Bundy]

Bullshit Hud... you can get him. That was a terrible send. he was gunned by 2 miles there.

[petegz28]

Stop, Pete.

Dude, he had no business sending him. NONE! He had the ball before Cutty even got to the bag.

[Mr. Laz]

Stop, Pete.

He's right


Don't know WTF you're talking about.

[C3HIEF3S]

Out by 2 miles.... TERRIBLE send.

Oh come on, that was a perfect fucking throw. If that's even a touch off either side of the 3rd baseline then CC is safe.

[Mr. Laz]

Oh come on, that was a perfect fucking throw. If that's even a touch off either side of the 3rd baseline then CC is safe.
You could say that about every throw.

If that's the case then the Royals should send EVERY runner EVERY time because if it's a bad throw they're safe. :rolleyes:

That's a run right there if he hadn't sent Cuthbert.

[Al Bundy]

Out by 5 steps, terrible send.

[petegz28]

Coach cost is a run there. That has to be one of our faster runners there not Cutty for that to be a good send.

[C3HIEF3S]

He's right


Don't know WTF you're talking about.

We have a 2 run cushion with Esky coming up to the plate. Zero problems with forcing their defense to make a perfect play, they did.. so be it. Take the hindsight goggles off, bud.

[Mr. Laz]

Nice sacrifice by Esky right there.

3-run lead


oh wait .......

[petegz28]

Oh come on, that was a perfect ****ing throw. If that's even a touch off either side of the 3rd baseline then CC is safe.

Dude, you don't send Cutty when the fielder has the ball before Cutty even steps on 3rd. That's just dumb.

[KChiefs1]

Yes, Hud, we can get on Jirch for that...Cutty had no shot outside of a terrible throw



Yet he stopped Cain earlier when he would have scored. Jirsch is in a slump.

I should add, fielder had the ball with his momentum heading towards the plate before Cutty stepped on 3rd......

Slump my ass, Jirsch has never been particularly good at knowing when to send/hold a runner.

[petegz28]

Whew! That's one of those plays that leads to a big inning if you don't get him

When everyone in the thread but you agrees with Pete, you are probably wrong.

[C3HIEF3S]

You could say that about every throw.

If that's the case then the Royals should send EVERY runner EVERY time because if it's a bad throw they're safe. :rolleyes:

ROFL No you can't.

Since we're three games back in June is the season over according to you? Remember in 2014, when Mr Genious Laz claimed that the season was over because the Royals were 2.5 games behind Detroit at this same time? No room to talk about others' stupidity.

[Why Not?]

Good footage of Ned taking to Ventura in the dugout. Best start of his in at least this season.

[C3HIEF3S]

Meh, I'll live. Royals are going to win anyway so why do I care about an opinionated play?

[Why Not?]

That's a huge K

No doubt, and it's definitely a calming-effect for the "Facebook" Royals fans wanting to trade, release, demote... etc Ventura. The talent is evident... everywhere but between his ears.

[eDave]

Reminds me of Hosmer going home in the WS. Wonder if Jersch was trying to exploit a 'tendency'.

Win none the less!

Winna!

[Mr. Laz]

Meh, I'll live. Royals are going to win anyway so why do I care about an opinionated play?
no opinion about that play, it was a terrible send

only fucking morons like yourself try to say otherwise

[Why Not?]

Chicken din! Win the upcoming series and things are good again

[siberian khatru]

Fantastic win

[big nasty kcnut]

We win yeah baby!

[Chiefspants]

What was Yo's velo at today?

Another series against the Sox, baby.

[Dartgod]

Congrats on #500 Ned!

He hit 100 a few times.

Nice rebound to the end of a horrific road trip. Just keep building the momentum.

That's what's so frustrating. He's a brilliant pitcher when he's on.

Are we really upset about a mistake send in the 9th?

It's a series win dudes, we're okay.

Naw. Just debating. It's what make baseball great.

[C3HIEF3S]

Naw. Just debating. It's what make baseball great.

The greatest part is that the Royals won the game and could afford to take that gamble either way- whether it was the right call or not. Which based on some of the reactions, it was game 7 of the 2014 WS for crying out loud.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I like good Ventura.

[C3HIEF3S]

Here's what happened that one time when you actually made a non-hindsight-ridden piece of analysis:

Royals were 1.5 games back of Detroit in June when we were just so far out of 1st:
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=10707886&postcount=26

If only you could've used your hindsight to foresee what was going to happen later that year, you most-definitely would've taken my advice:
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=10707890&postcount=29

As usual, it didn't tale ole' Lazzy very long to bring out the insults. Yeah, that team had a hard time with pressure that year, didn't they?:
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showpost.php?p=10707909&postcount=41

Nice to see you are still up and at it. Began to worry about you!

[srvy]

I like good Ventura.

Who doesn't. Problem is we get 5 of the other vs 1 of these. I think there is far more to Ventura than we will ever know till he is gone from the organization.

[Deberg_1990]

Back to back good Duffy and Ventura? Thank ya Jesus!

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Back to back good Duffy and Ventura? Thank ya Jesus!

2 days in a row allowing 1 run 5 hits.

[Why Not?]

2 days in a row allowing 1 run 5 hits.

Good. This is exactly what we need from these two. A lot of patience has been shown w these guys and now is when it's time for them to step up and become what we all want them to be. I'm on record with saying I think Ventura has hit his ceiling. I'd love for him to make me look like an asshole(or, at least more so than I make myself look).
