The official Tribe vs Royals thread. July 18 2016

[Deberg_1990]

Hell yes!

Currently 1-0 Indians


Enjoy!

[TLO]

No1curr

[KevB]

Esky has no chance against a guy with Kluber's slider.

[Deberg_1990]

Is it necessary for Escobar to swing at every damn pitch ?

[Why Not?]

B3 before game thread. This team may be on the verge of losing our collective interest, at least on a passionate level. 6-3 home stand or GTFO

[Why Not?]

Ned moves Esky down in the order, he hits .300. Back to lead off, back to AIDS.

[Pablo]

Fuuuuu

[C3HIEF3S]

The blame starts with Escobar.

[WhawhaWhat]

Scorpion!

[C3HIEF3S]

That's all Esky had to do.

[Why Not?]

Not sure it matters. I'm sure he'd get stranded at 3rd anyway

[Al Bundy]

Looks like this one is another loss.

[GloryDayz]

Go yard man!

[Al Bundy]

Yeah, they're completely dead.

[GloryDayz]

Time to check the DVR I guess. LMAO

[Prison Bitch]

Nice swing turd. Hope Gordo pulls a Meche and walks away

[WhawhaWhat]

Does Uribe dip the whole can at once?

[petegz28]

This team just sucks. Period. I can't even remember the last time we went a game without giving up a HR? You have the one of the fastest guys in baseball on 3rd with 1 out, down by 1 and you can't even put the fucking ball in play. Then, down by 2 with 1 out, Cutty tries to stretch a double and gets shot. Gordon can't hit the ball to save his life.....we just stink

Well, to be fair, other than the DH the Royals haven't made hitting their #1 priority in player selection.

That's why we often times don't even swing at other team's pitcher's "mistakes", and when we do we hardly ever put it over the fence.

[WhawhaWhat]

Volquez upping his trade value.

[GloryDayz]

It's eleventy billion degrees and they have coffee and fixins in the dugout.

WTF?

[ChiTown]

This Team makes me want to club a baby seal

[Ron Swanson]

nothing is going right, this is depressing to watch

[petegz28]

I don't wanna say our season is done but there is absolutely nothing about this team that would make you think otherwise

[GloryDayz]

Well it's too hot to be outside anyway...

[GloryDayz]

I don't wanna say our season is done but there is absolutely nothing about this team that would make you think otherwise

Certainly no fire from the players.

[Ron Swanson]

I think Moose was a bigger loss than anyone realized, just from a team morale standpoint.

[ChiTown]

Sorry, what happened to Morales?

[WhawhaWhat]

Made the first out at third. Dumb.

[Ron Swanson]

Colon!!!!

[Al Bundy]

Our fucking baserunners are so FUCKING stupid...

[kstater]

How the fuck do you let yourself get thrown out there

[siberian khatru]

Why in the FUCK would you try for third there?

[C3HIEF3S]

@Royals, stop being dumb.

[Jerok]

2nd time this game they tried for third.

We gonna win this

[Ron Swanson]

That was a dumb move by Colon, but that was a damn nice hit to tie it up.

[C3HIEF3S]

This team has to stop shooting itself in the foot and uncharacteristically giving away outs.


With that being said, nice job CC.

Thinking the same thing

[Prison Bitch]

Sorry, what happened to Morales?

Ned wanted extra base power

[petegz28]

Paulo...Paulo

[eDave]

I just love plays at the plate. Love them.

[Prison Bitch]

I'll be damned

[Why Not?]

That's a huge hit baby!!

[siberian khatru]

Keep that mojo going

[C3HIEF3S]

Thank god for cramps!

[Simply Red]

butcher-boy!

[KChiefs1]

Further proof that Gordon would have scored in the 7th game of the 2014 World Series.

[petegz28]

Fucking DYSON!!!!! WOW!! BAM!!!!

[WhawhaWhat]

HOLY SHIT!

[eDave]

Nice.

[Why Not?]

Literally before the Esky single, Lewdog texted me about how shitty the offense was tonight. If KC wins this, he gets the good jinx game ball.

[kstater]

Holy shit

That's why Gordon should have tried to score in the 7th game of the World Series.

Would have been a classic.

DYSON BOMB! LMAO

[CaliforniaChief]

Hud set that one up, huh?

[GloryDayz]

Nice...

[Nightfyre]

nevermind wade, lets send hoch back out.

[Ron Swanson]

Holy crap!

HOLEE SHIT!!!!!!!!

[Deberg_1990]

That's what power do!

[Al Bundy]

Good gravy...

[tk13]

Hosmer and Perez's reactions were classic.

[Jerok]

Dyson, no home runs. Royals, no grand slam. No extra base hit with bases loaded.

BOOM.

[petegz28]

Hud set that one up, huh?

No kidding. I mean I was going, really? Not 1 extra base hit with the bases juiced all season?? Earlier in the game Denny and Ryan had stated the Royals were 1 of 5 teams to not have a Grand Slam all year. Now there are 4 and the Tribe is one of them.

[C3HIEF3S]

Need .gif of Sal and Hos ASAP.

[Chiefspants]

LOL

[SAUTO]

Ha ha

[big nasty kcnut]

wow that fucking amazing.

[petegz28]

Ned brings in Cy to give it right back

[Chiefspants]

I see Ned still wants to give Wade a save situation.

[Deberg_1990]

Chris Young....

Hold on to your butts

[Prison Bitch]

Hey Corey, how's that hammy feeling now?

[petegz28]

Can Cy go 1 fucking inning without giving up a yard shot?

[eDave]

That's what power do!

LOL

[siberian khatru]

CY needs to throw strikes and hope the Tribe hits into three outs before they hit five home runs

[DaneMcCloud]

Yay, Chris Young on to close the gap

[bsroyals54]

Hos' face was the best

[Why Not?]

Lewdog wanted me to let you guys know he missed this classic to be at a painting class with his wife.

[Nightfyre]

LMAO

[petegz28]

With a 5 run in the 9th with 1 out, Cy can't throw fucking strikes.

[Simply Red]

Hud set that one up, huh?

I have never heard 'butcher-boy'

[petegz28]

Wow, Young...get him out, Ned.....get him out before this is a 2 run game or worse

[siberian khatru]

Fucking worthless

[Deberg_1990]

Young is absolutely pathetic


Why is he still on this team? Dude is done

[Simply Red]

Lewdog wanted me to let you guys know he missed this classic to be at a painting class with his wife.

what a looser.

[tk13]

Ned's going to go through 8 pitchers to try and keep Wade out of this game. Try and have him available for the last two games of this series.

[CaliforniaChief]

At least we know that if a Royals player ever gets into the HR Derby, we've got our guy to throw to him.

[C3HIEF3S]

Lewdog wanted me to let you guys know he missed this classic to be at a painting class with his wife.

Looks like we better sign Lewdog up for like 60 more painting classes.

[Simply Red]

I like Dyson too, never complains - seems to not have any natural gift but always tries hard. Plus he's fast as a mf'er.

[siberian khatru]

Chris Young is the Chip Ambres in LF of pitchers

[tk13]

LMAO

Just one time (whether he is with the Royals or not), I would like to see what Giancarlo Stanton could do with a belt-high 88 mph Chris Young heater.

[GloryDayz]

Good move Ned.

Really? You just walked a guy with 2 outs in the top of the 9th with a 4 run lead??? Absolutely horrendous pitching, Young.

pics of GMDM giving him an albatross of a contract, relatively speaking.

[petegz28]

great catch, Salvy

[GloryDayz]

I'm just that awesome!!!

[mr. tegu]

I wonder how much Davis paid Young to get to that situation to where he could get a one out save with a four run lead. That's a great way to pad your stats

[Coach]

Kind of nice to have a Royal pull a no doubter on that home run.

Yeah fuck the indian the Royals are still awesome.

[PunkinDrublic]

We might not make the playoffs but it's nice to know Cleveland won't be winning anything in the postseason with that shitty bullpen.

[Al Bundy]

Chris Young gotta go.

[tk13]

Still a long, long way to go. We're not dead yet. 7 back in the division, only 4 back for a wild card, which is nothing.

[kgrund]

We might not make the playoffs but it's nice to know Cleveland won't be winning anything in the postseason with that shitty bullpen.

Guessing they will address that before trade deadline. They would not have needed a bullpen tonight if Kluber does not take himself out.

Chris Young gotta go.

Waiter.....check please!

What's kind of weird is that a lot of contenders have serious BP issues. The Indians as we know, are one of them. The Cubs BP is no good and honestly, the Giants BP is so bad I'm shocked they have as big a lead as they do. Oh and the Nats BP is no '15 royals either. This post season may go down as a war of BP attrition

[lewdog]

Wife was painting, I was drinking. At a local distillery. Very good drinks.

Did I miss anything tonight?

[Sure-Oz]

Chris Young gotta go.
Agreed ...mystery DL stint should be coming

I still think they are the weakest of all the division leaders.

You may be right about that. I'm just saying they're in good company with bad bullpens. You would think teams would have made that more of a priority after seeing us the past few years.

This is why I love game threads. I missed the game tonight because the wife dragged me to a wine tasting party. Came home and decided to read through the game thread to see how it went. The roller coaster of emotions in a game thread make for fun reading.

GT's are the best! I'll be the first to admit, I get dramatic at times. But it's always fun to see when Other people do it. My favorites tonight happened after Colon's clutch hit. He got thrown out at third which obviously sucked but there was about 5 or 6 comments in a row about bad base running and free outs and etc. before someone mentioned, oh by the way, he tied the game in a huge fucking spot! It was funny

[Why Not?]

Speaking of terrible bullpens, our buddies over on the White Sox just wasted an absolute gem by Chris Sale. 8IP 1 hit only at 100 pitches. Leaves at 3-0. Robertson gives up 4 in the 9th. Lol

[Chiefspants]

Crack is a mother****er

2014 Butler is not unlike 2016 Gordon.

[DaneMcCloud]

2014 Butler is not unlike 2016 Gordon.

At least he wasn't making $18 million per.

If he was, I'm pretty sure he would have bought every BBQ joint in town and kept them to himself.

I was thinking pretty much all of the above posts that you quoted. Especially Chitown's "club a baby seal" comment ROFL. Today's game fucking sucked.. it was lost, it was a perfectly-fitting game for this team at this point in the season..


And then Kluber's leg cramped. Like WTF? That is Royals Devil Magic at its best. Then Colon. Colon made Royals nation go from "oh god.." to "OH MY FUCKING GOD" during the minute-moment between pulling his bunt back and fucking parking the ball (I will refrain from any more comments about his stupid base running). Paulo goes from looking lost all night to bringing home the go-ahead run? Not even to mention that Jarrod Dyson.. JARROD. MOTHERFUCKING. DYSON...

JARROD

MOTHERFUCKING

DYSON

..hits a game-clinching grand slam? Are you kidding me?
This team is so god-damned inconsistent and up and down, but this year has had many good moments in it.. the comeback vs Washington, the comeback in the 9th Vs the Sux, and sweeping the Sux in that same series while coming back almost instinctually in every game.


God I'm pumped. I look forward to flying into KC tomorrow morning.

Well that's what kept me from turning up the MoJo until late in the game. She was doing just that and has stamina too.
