Pitcher's spot is about to kill us.

[lewdog]

eDave!!!

All aboard the train tonight. Getting some early hits on Fernandez.

Awesome.

[eDave]

Shoulda stole home. Crap.

[Munson]

Dammit! Esky missed an easy trip to home plate.

[eDave]

LOL. These guys suck ass

[tk13]

Well the pitcher's spot won't kill the rally. Thanks Marlins defense.

[big nasty kcnut]

good hustle by gee!

[Ron Swanson]

gotta score when you get the chance against this guy

[baitism]

Fucking Orlando. How do you not learn from the 7 curveballs before?

[siberian khatru]

Five baserunners in two innings and nothing to show for it. Not a recipe for success

[lewdog]

You aren't going to get many chances like this, early in a game, against Fernandez.

FUCK!

[baitism]

I guess if nothing else, we got his pitch count up.

[Simply Red]

way to go Ethernet David!

[Simply Red]

I'm giving up comic sans MS.

[Simply Red]

Colon!

[ChiTown]

Not sure what Colon was thinking there. That's not Dee Gordon running to 1st:shake:

[Simply Red]

Not sure what Colon was thing there. That's not Dee Gordon running to 1st:shake:

yeah but he completed it - so not complaining - but yes - he had lots of time.

[WhawhaWhat]

Colon showing why he's a bench player.

[ChiTown]

yeah but he completed it - so not complaining - but yes - he had lots of time.

Not really. He completed 50% of that play on Fernandez.

No damage. Now let's get some runs!!

[Jerok]

When did Dillon Gee become a servicable pitcher?

[Canofbier]

Would have been nice to get the out, but I've always really liked Fernandez and that smile and finger wag were priceless. He's one of those guys who just has fun playing baseball, and it rubs off on the guys around him.

hilarious

[Dartgod]

Get. Him. Home.

[baitism]

The pitcher is up next. Don't bunt.

[ChiTown]

Now, that's a GREAT play by Colon.:clap:

[ChiTown]

Gee is rolling

[baitism]

Did our whole staff get on the "juice?"

[siberian khatru]

Gotta give Gee his props

[ChiTown]

Did our whole staff get on the "juice?"

I hope so....

[Dartgod]

Orlando is AIDS at the plate tonight.

[baitism]

Orlando better get his Golden Sombrero fitted.

[tk13]

Burying us with that curveball.

[baitism]

Watching Colon against Fernandez reminds me of game 5 of the WS. Same type of slider.

[tk13]

Fernandez has 2000 strikeouts this year? No wonder we can't hit him.

[ChiTown]

Burying us with that curveball.

That pitch is fkn nasty!

[ChiTown]

Holy crap, Gee is a machine right now. That last pitch was money

[tk13]

Gee's stuff legit looks good tonight.

[ChiTown]

2 on nobody out. Let's go!!

[C3HIEF3S]

I don't see Orlando still leading off in September.

[Ron Swanson]

great at bat Gordon

[ChiTown]

FFS . That was a complete shit AB by Gordo.

[Dartgod]

Typical shitty AB from Alex.

[tk13]

I don't see Orlando still leading off in September.

Ned's itching to get Escobar up there!

Not really, but if Orlando slumps someone will have to move up there.

[eDave]

Gordon's gone again.

[Dartgod]

Gordon's gone again.

Yep. Watched two in the zone go by and then swings at one almost in the dirt.


And more runners stranded. I get that Fernandez is a really good pitcher, but we have to find a way to take advantage of those situations.

[kysirsoze]

What a miserable fucking game offensively. Just brutal to watch.

[baitism]

Barf

[KCCHIEFS27]

I realize we have had plenty of baserunners on, but Fernandez is a STUD for a reason. Even the best offenses can struggle to put up runs against this guy. I know we need runs in order to win this game, but keep going at it and manufacture one or two somehow.

[ChiTown]

What a miserable ****ing game offensively. Just brutal to watch.

Well, really, it's been a miserable last 15 innings in Miami for both teams. Just complete shit. The pitching has been good, but the offense for both Teams has been crap relative to execution of moving base runners

[tk13]

Well that's about right, two hits, both to the pitcher.

[ChiTown]

First trouble for Gee. 1st & 2nd 1 out. Need a DP

[Ron Swanson]

and here's where the wheels fall off of Gee

[baitism]

Who would have thought the pitcher hitting would have effed with his head.

[tk13]

I wondered what happened to Lenny Harris. You don't see guys like him anymore. Pretty much a professional pinch hitter.

[C3HIEF3S]

Gee just can't be trusted after 5 innings (against real teams not from Minnesota).

[ChiTown]

Welp. This is a big AB in this game. Come on Gee!

[eDave]

Bet they don't strand 3.

[Munson]

Son of a bitch.

[eDave]

Ballgame.

[ChiTown]

FUCK!!

[HemiEd]

crap

[Chiefspants]

One of these days, it's going to occur to Ned that Gee can really only go five innings x3

[baitism]

One team scored runs when they had a chance. Once team didn't.

[ChiTown]

I assumed we would lose this game against Fernandez, I just didn't think it would be like this. All in all, a good outing for Gee.

[Why Not?]

Not much to say here. You fail to capitalize early against a guy like Fernandez, you're in trouble. This would have been a hell of a game to steal but nobody had this as a W anyway. Yes I realize the game is not over. No, I don't think the Royals win it.

[jimidollar]

Had to lose sometime. Start another streak tomorrow.

[ChiTown]

Had to lose sometime. Start another streak tomorrow.

Another streak is exactly what I am worried about......a losing streak.

[ChiTown]

Well, shit

[Ron Swanson]

pretty good throw, better slide

[KCCHIEFS27]

They only play 6 innings in professional baseball? When was that rule change implemented?

[Al Bundy]

Another streak is exactly what I am worried about......a losing streak.

I bet Orlando isn't playing tomorrow, that should be good for 2-3 hits. This loss is really on him not being able to put together a professional at bat.

[ChiTown]

pretty good throw, better slide

Yeah, that was a great slide by Prado to beat that throw

[Al Bundy]

Had a chance to do some damage, but Orlando fucked them really good.

[Why Not?]

I bet Orlando isn't playing tomorrow, that should be good for 2-3 hits. This loss is really on him not being able to put together a professional at bat.

An absolutely inexcusable game for a lead off hitter

[ChiTown]

Gawdman, would love to have Fernandez on our Team. That curve is fucking deadly

[Dartgod]

Had a chance to do some damage, but Orlando fucked them really good.

Do you EVER post when something good happens?

[Why Not?]

Not sure I've ever seen a hitter so overmatched in a single game

[ChiTown]

Paulo.....ROFL. That poor fucker is just clueless against Fernandez

[Ron Swanson]

rough night for Paulo

[Al Bundy]

Yuck.. Orlando, looking like a clueless clown.

[lewdog]

Oh no. That's not good.

This guy needs to stay healthy. Love watching him pitch.

[Why Not?]

Tomorrow is pretty much a must win. This needs to be a .500 road trip. I think it overly optimistic to think we're taking 2 of 3 in Boston, I don't care what pitchers we have going

[ChiTown]

Woah, what happened to Fernandez? That was weird. He's grabbing the back if his leg.

[tk13]

Wonder if that was just a cramp. Didn't see anything weird in his delivery.

[ChiTown]

Tomorrow is pretty much a must win. This needs to be a .500 road trip. I think it overly optimistic to think we're taking 2 of 3 in Boston, I don't care what pitchers we have going

I have us going 2 of 3 in MIA and 1 of 3 in BOS

[Jerok]

So we get 2 shots at their bullpen? We gonna win. Morales for the game winning homer

[ChiTown]

The back end of their BP is solid. Probably not happening tonight

[Deberg_1990]

My guess is that a lot of players best batting average was against the Royals in the 2000-2010 decade

[Ron Swanson]

Wang sucks

[KChiefs1]

One of these days, it's going to occur to Ned that Gee can really only go five innings x3



I doubt it.

Gotta go 2/3 in Boston or kiss postseason goodbye.

Based on what?

[tk13]

Apparently the Braves/Marlins/Rangers just made a three way trade. Haven't released all the details but it sounds like Francoeur is going to Miami.

[KChiefs1]

Based on what?



They can only lose 12 more games the rest of the year & you have them losing 3 in the next 6 games.

Losing ground to Boston is not good either even though Baltimore is the weak link in the AL East big 3.

I went through how they can get to 88 wins in the repository and it has them losing 2 of 3 to Bos and dropping this game in MIA. My assumption is they need 88, and admittedly, it might take 89 or 90

[Al Bundy]

Expected a loss here, a little frustrating because the Royals had a chance to do some damage and had a chance to win.

I'm afraid at 88 that we will be left out.

I expected to lose tonight too but I lay this on Ned. If Gee gives you 5 innings it's time to take him out.

Must win tomorrow. With the Royals pitching their big 3 in Boston they need 2/3.

[tk13]

I guess one positive is they kept the bullpen streak alive.

[Dartgod]

Alex almost killed Rodney.

[Jerok]

What if the Big 3 in Boston is a preview of the ALDS? #Dreams

[ChiefsCountry]

I just got home from the KC burbs. Time to rally.

You realize we've scored ZERO runs, right?

Damn tip your hat to that one.

[Dartgod]

Esky done got robbed.

[Munson]

That was the rally killer right there.

Did you expect a high scoring game tonight? I didn't with Fernandez pitching.

Do your job Kendrys.

Come on Morales, you are due

[lewdog]

This is where a good DH comes through.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
No, but it's kind of hard to blame Ned/Gee for the loss when we've scored ZERO FUCKING RUNS.

[ROYC75]

Do your job Kendrys.

That 1st pitch !:shake:

Damn!

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm surprised Ryan isn't bitching about Rodney's hat. That is normally a drinking game.

[ROYC75]

Damn, fastball pitch, pop up!:cuss:

[Dartgod]

Fuck, that was ball four.

[Ron Swanson]

thanks for not swinging at the pitches over the plate

[Al Bundy]

Showed some fight, Orlando is up though.

[Chiefspants]

Orlando. Oaths you have taken. Fulfill them all now.

[tk13]

He's getting about four sliders here.

[eDave]

Blue balls.

[siberian khatru]

I kinda wish Hechavarria hadn't made that play

[tk13]

Can't believe he threw him a fastball there.

[Simply Red]

wow. Okay here we go.

[Chiefspants]

Would be a mighty fine time for your first career dong, Christian.

Colon vs Rodney. The brawl to end it all

[ROYC75]

How big was that play on Esky?

Damn!

Come on Colon!

[GloryDayz]

Tornado warnings... Let's hope that's the magic!

[eDave]

He's due

[ChiTown]

Let's Get em tomorrow ....

[siberian khatru]

A fitting end to that game

[Al Bundy]

Showed some fight... but well... Orlando didn't come through at all.

[Ron Swanson]

damn, left a ton of guys on base tonight

[ROYC75]

Rats, lost a chance to move up!

[GloryDayz]

Poop.

[baitism]

Not going to hang this on Gee. 1 run in 18 innings is fucking embarrassing.

[ChiTown]

Not going to hang this on Gee. 1 run in 18 innings is ****ing embarrassing.

1 run in their last 20 innings, actually :)

[Why Not?]

I kinda think I would have preferred a 10-0 ass kicking over a RLOB fest

[Dartgod]

We're supposed to hang it on Ned for leaving Gee in too long.

[Deberg_1990]

Fuck you Rally Mantis!!!!

[Chiefspants]

Truth. We were lucky to salvage 1 win out of these two games.

[C3HIEF3S]

Don't care how hot we are, Gee vs Fernandez was never going to be an expected win ROFL. Take the series tomorrow and all is good.

[Great Expectations]

Unless Volquez can locate his secondary pitches he shouldn't be facing guys the third time through either.

Gee was pretty dang good tonight. Cant blame him for loss when your offense scores zero. they had opportunities

[cosmo20002]

You realize we've scored ZERO runs, right?

Good pitching can overcome that.
Yosted!
