Thanks lewdog. My karma gave out last night. Let's win this thing!!!

[lewdog]

I started Kennedy in my fantasy league. I feel good about him tonight.

If he keeps the ball in the park, he's a pretty good pitcher.

[lewdog]

Tossed a dude in the first inning!

[lewdog]

23 pitches through 2. Efficient.

[lewdog]

This feels like a Hootie thread on Royals Planet for me.


I'm gonna keep going.

[Hogfarmer]

Who got tossed ? I'm new to this .

Dude, what happened to your posts?!?!

[cabletech94]

i personally blame lew for that homerun. thanks lewdog.

[Simply Red]

looking good!

[ChiTown]

Kennedy doing Kennedy things

[lewdog]

i personally blame lew for that homerun. thanks lewdog.

I blame myself.

I hate myself.

[Simply Red]

here come the boom!

[Meatloaf]

C'mon Orlando, you cannot strike out in that situation. Damn.

[scho63]

Not to steal your Royal's thunder but tonight at the Pirates game a fan holding a giant plate of nachos with cheese and a beer tried to snag a foul ball and basically smashed his face with the entire plate of nachos and cheese all went into his hair, face, all over his white tshirt and he lost his can of beer.

Should be a good ESPN highlight for this evening or tomorrow.

Cameras all over him.

[Simply Red]

Awful.

[cabletech94]

god damnit this is getting frustrating........

[ChiTown]

JFC! Awful

[Al Bundy]

Great at bat's Orlando and Cuthbert...

[Meatloaf]

Totally blew that opportunity. We seem to be doing that quite a bit this season. Suck City.

[tk13]

That's just another case where striking out more this year is killing us. Putting the ball in play likely scores a run there.

best highlight of the night.

would watch again!!

[lewdog]

72 through 5.

[Meatloaf]

We need a little rally here. Time to destroy!

[Simply Red]

I'm watching the Braves.

[lewdog]

Is the Mantis still alive or did they kill it after the loss?

[lewdog]

Hell of a catch.

FUCK!

[Discuss Thrower]

Tootblan?

[tk13]

Welcome to the big leagues rookie.

[tk13]

6 innings, 1 run. Kennedy has been pitching well. Just can't score a run.

[lewdog]

This offense is very fun to watch.

[Simply Red]

If I put up a Braves thread every time they play - would you all come aboard? Say the rest of the season?

ROFL

[Why Not?]

Great throw!

Flynn sucks

[lewdog]

Hell of a throw!

Plus slow runner!!!

[Why Not?]

Shit. He's safe

[HemiEd]

It is getting hard to watch a whole game, guess like a lot of others I got spoiled.

[Simply Red]

ROFL

well Francoeur is over there.

[Why Not?]

Wow. Didn't not think that would hold up. Not enough to over turn I guess

[C3HIEF3S]

Credit to Paulo on D. Hell of a throw.

[Why Not?]

God damn, Morales is slow

[Why Not?]

Good. Glad to see Alex achieve his goal. He tried so hard to ground out to first. Happy for him he was able to accomplish

[lewdog]

Alex can go back to Nebraska anytime now.


OMAHA!!!

[GloryDayz]

This offense, it's simply amazing.

[lewdog]

This is going to suck.

[Al Bundy]

This is going to suck.

I think you may be on to something.

[GloryDayz]

Why is this dude still on the team?

[C3HIEF3S]

As long as Paulo is hitting, the leadoff spot is his for the rest of the year for all I care.

As soon as (if) that bat slumps, though, he's never going to get on-base.

[Dartgod]

Hey, a run!!

[WhawhaWhat]

Cuthbert is the dude.

[Ron Swanson]

Ventura is a terrible manager.

[siberian khatru]

CHES KING

[lewdog]

We will Cut you bitch!!!!

[Al Bundy]

Good job Cuthbert.

[siberian khatru]

Bad job, Lo

[Chiefspants]

Watching on Gameday - Is Herrera only hitting 94 right now?

[siberian khatru]

Great, now Herrera's broken

[WhawhaWhat]

Paulo is on fire!

[Dartgod]

What a dumb ass.

[Ron Swanson]

Paulo!

[lewdog]

Damn!!!

[siberian khatru]

That's more like it

[siberian khatru]

Watching on Gameday - Is Herrera only hitting 94 right now?

Up to 97-98 now

[C3HIEF3S]

Paulo is making me eat so much crow tonight about his defense.

[lewdog]

And.


Poop.

Force at all bases.

It's the right move especially with Mondesi up.

[Dartgod]

Shitty AB for the rook.

[siberian khatru]

Blech

[Ron Swanson]

Icy silence from Hud, after the stupid joke by phys

Yea, that wasn't very nice. Hud takes a lot of shit but he's a good guy. Phys is retarded.

[mikeyis4dcats.]

Anticipatory fuck you Soria post

[Dartgod]

Wow, he didn't fuck that up.

[kstater]

What a throw

Here comes the guy with an 11 ERA.

[tk13]

That ball jumps out of his hands. Great throw.

Of course...

That's about right.

[ChiTown]

Gawdamn. Another 10th inning loss. Beaten on a dink and dunk hit

[Ron Swanson]

Wang sucks

[GloryDayz]

Not shocked..

[ChiTown]

Not shocked..

As much as last year was amazing, this year is fucking miserable

[C3HIEF3S]

I actually have to pay attention to the Chiefs this year, that's how much this season sucks.


(sort of kidding)

[Ron Swanson]

The Royals miss a ton of hittable pitches.

[Simply Red]

The Royals miss a ton of hittable pitches.

Cain should have walked his last AB - way too eager and everyone in the ballpark sees it.

[tk13]

Fear the mantis.

[ChiTown]

Well, I'll be gawdmaned

[Ron Swanson]

Esky just doubled his walk total for the year in one game.

[Chiefspants]

Over 10% of Esky's walks this year have come in the last two PA's.

[Dartgod]

Alex really fucked us there with another shitty AB.

[Chiefspants]

Since June, Eric Hosmer has worked really hard to show why he isn't worth a mega contract.

[Ron Swanson]

This game is a win if it means Gee will miss a start.

[tk13]

Only hope here is Gee has pitched much better as a reliever than a starter.

[C3HIEF3S]

So who starts on Saturday now? LMAO

[tk13]

So who starts on Saturday now? LMAO

If he only has to go an inning or two they could still start him Saturday and run Chris Young out behind him. If this game goes 17 innings then they'll probably have to call someone up.

[C3HIEF3S]

From Twitter, it looks like Jake Junis is the Saturday starter for Omaha.. and that isn't happening. I'm not even sure if there is enough of a difference between Gee and anyone else for this to matter.

[tk13]

That works. Now get him in.

[Ron Swanson]

That's what speed do!

[C3HIEF3S]

That should do it, right? ROFL

[Chiefspants]

Alright. End this boys.

[petegz28]

that really is beyond words....you have the fastest guy on your team on 3rd with 0 outs and the next 3 guys can't even put the ball in play

[tk13]

There is that strikeout problem again. Just can't put the ball in play.

[baitism]

I'm not watching the game. But, I sure as shit hope people were booing and leaving.

[Prison Bitch]

Team is such a joke

[Chiefspants]

I wonder if we're still on amicable terms with Seitzer?

[petegz28]

How many times have we seen that this year? All you had to do was put the bat on the ball and the best we could muster was 2 foul balls.

Gordon struck out on a pitch that was at his head and way inside....

Sad and pathetic doesn't even begin to describe how absolutely terrible that inning was

[bsroyals54]

Success has a restraining order on the Royals this season

[Ron Swanson]

I'm not watching the game. But, I sure as shit hope people were booing and leaving.

It would be stupid to boo the defending champs, but I would probably leave.

[Chiefspants]

Christian, if there was a time to hit your first career dong..

[Chiefspants]

Or that, that works too I guess.

[|Zach|]

I have been watching this game for many moons.

[C3HIEF3S]

Fat Albers does it again

[|Zach|]

I have been watching this game for many moons.

I came into this thread and then we won.

You're welcome.

[thabear04]

Damn finally.

[Chiefspants]

Thank you, Jesus.

[Ron Swanson]

Finally, thank you Cain.

[tk13]

Fear the mantis.

[bsroyals54]

Should of happened 5 innings ago but whatever, the hitless wonders prevail!

[tk13]

25 hits in this game, 5 runs.

[GloryDayz]

that really is beyond words....you have the fastest guy on your team on 3rd with 0 outs and the next 3 guys can't even put the ball in play

I know we won, but that's something team leadership has to have many long stand-up meetings about. It's something ownership has to say can't happen again, even if they ended up winning. We used to complain about too much bunting and small-ball, this was one of those times when you make sure the first two batters do exactly that.
