Houston has midgets. I hate midgets. and turtles. I hate midgets and turtles !

[lewdog]

Missed last night.

Here today.

This will be a win!

[C3HIEF3S]

In for the win, folks.

[C3HIEF3S]

70 degrees and the roof is closed, you're joking ROFL.

[KCUnited]

Man's play at 3rd.

[Jerok]

Houston announcers said Moose blocked the bag. "He slid right into his (Moustakas) foot. Interesting technique. I hope it hurt."

FU Houston.

[Munson]

Salvy bomb!

I think it landed on the moon.

[Jerok]

WOW Perez!

[tk13]

When's the last time a Royals player hit 4 homers the first week of the season?

[Jerok]

When's the last time a Royals player hit 4 homers the first week of the season?

Salvador Perez in 2017 was the last time I think.

[lewdog]

My feed says Royals 0 and Astros 1.

[Pablo]

Gonna be fun watching Salvy hit 108 bombs this year.

[lewdog]

My feed says Royals 0 and Astros 1.

Nevermind. Refreshed my feed. I was way behind!!!

[CoMoChief]

Does Moss even have a hit this year?

[C3HIEF3S]

They will never learn.

[Munson]

Dat Gordo arm!

[Chiefspants]

My bae

[KCUnited]

[CoMoChief]

defense coming through today.

[CoMoChief]

jesus why was the defense shifted so much on a RH batter with nobody on?

[lewdog]

jesus why was the defense shifted so much on a RH batter with nobody on?

Right handed????

[Three7s]

Does Moss even have a hit this year?
Nope, just a bunch of walks.

[KCUnited]

I hate this type of review, win or lose.

[C3HIEF3S]

Wasn't expecting that overturn.

[Munson]

Call overturned.

Strike 'em out, throw 'em out to end the 2nd inning!

[C3HIEF3S]

The Astros are just killing themselves. They are shredding Karns, yet have one run.

[Chiefspants]

This defense is pulling off a Guthrie like bailout right now.

[C3HIEF3S]

Alex what the fuck was that?

[Munson]

Bad decision, Alex.

[CoMoChief]

Aaaaand OUT by an eyelash at 2nd

[lewdog]

Well that was bad.

Aoki was my most hated Royal on the 2014 team.

[CoMoChief]

seriously wtf was he doing there.....was that on Gordon or Kuntz?

[Chiefspants]

Alex showing off the alternative universe in Game 7.

[C3HIEF3S]

Well that was bad.

Aoki was my most hated Royal on the 2014 team.

STILL to this day people try to convince me he would have been safe... :shake::rolleyes:

[lewdog]

Fuck Aoki

These are fucking great. thanks.

[Chiefspants]

Karns realizing he has a major league defense in front and behind him.

Just keep the ball in the park and throw in the zone, man.

[C3HIEF3S]

http://i.imgur.com/6pXoFHg.gif

[lewdog]

Moss absolutely blows.

[C3HIEF3S]

Great slide by Paulo there.

[lewdog]

Fan-fucking-tastic running Paulo.

[CoMoChief]

Karns has had some control issues. Defense has bailed him out a lot today.

Ned needs to get him outa the game.

[Jerok]

Karns gives up 2 walks. Gotta get it together Karns, you got this.

[C3HIEF3S]

That's the future of our middle infield right there.

[LoneWolf]

And Mondesi saves Karns ass.

[Jerok]

Holy crap Mondesi nice.

[ChiliConCarnage]

Crowd got super excite for a bland pop out

[lewdog]

That.

Was.

Huge.

[C3HIEF3S]

This is a Royals offense unlike any we have seen since DM took over.

[lewdog]

Too Fat

[WhawhaWhat]

Moose has been crushing baseballs this year. Those line drive HRs get out in a hurry.

[Jerok]

Eat a few more twinkies for me Moose.

[SPchief]

Someone is breaking the HR record this year

[ChiliConCarnage]

Moose! we hit a ton of line drivers

[jimidollar]

Can we get our money back for Moss? Christ!!

[CoMoChief]

Moss is fucking terrible.

How much did TOR pay Morales? (Who's hitting the ball well at the moment :cuss:)

Looks like GMDM/Glass should have just ponied up the money to keep Morales.

[Chiefspants]

Moss is ****ing terrible.

How much did TOR pay Morales? (Who's hitting the ball well at the moment :cuss:)

Looks like GMDM/Glass should have just ponied up the money to keep Morales.

Gonna go ahead and disagree. They got Morales for an extra year and paid him 20m more.

Say what you will about Moss, Kendrys was actually had a WORSE start last year.

[Buehler445]

Does Moss even have a hit this year?

No. :(

Those aioki gifs are gold though. Jesus. ROFL

[C3HIEF3S]

I'm sure after last April when Morales was slashing .226/.280/.357 the board was calling for Morales' head, too.

[Dartgod]

5-2/3 innings, 1 run from the #5 guy?

I'll take that all season long.

Hell yes. And even on 80 pitches.

[Chiefspants]

CP was advocating he give up batting left handed and become a platoon DH for the remainder of the season.

[Buehler445]

Close this out and get Karns a win boys.

[BlackHelicopters]

Beefy Moose= Good Moose.

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

I'm sure after last April when Morales was slashing .226/.280/.357 the board was calling for Morales' head, too.

Batting .226 would be acceptable vice batting .000.

Might as well hire me. I can strike out that well too, and I'm a LOT cheaper.:cuss:

For 21m more?

Nah, let's just give Moss more than the equivalent of 1 half of 1 game of a football season before shipping him to Siberia.

[lewdog]

I WOOD take a quick inning like that from here on out.

[Three7s]

Let's just hope the BP doesn't blow it. That's going to be the story all season long.

[KChiefs1]

Haven't been impressed with Wood.

[KCUnited]

Welp

[C3HIEF3S]

That should conclude the "Wood vs. RHB" experiment.

EDIT: or not.

[Chiefspants]

Is Wood kind of a hothead? He seemed to lose control of his emotions there.

[KChiefs1]

Remember when we had a good pen?

[Buehler445]

Piss and shit.

[lewdog]

You fucking cockbag.

[siberian khatru]

Wood has not been my favorite signing of the offseason

[C3HIEF3S]

To be fair, they're throwing Wood into the fire by telling him to face four straight RHB's. Not excusing his walks in the slightest, but you have to know what tools you have and when to use them.

[lewdog]

Sounds like Cubs fans at the game today.

Gasping at every ball hit in the air.

[C3HIEF3S]

Wood's 2016 splits:

Speaks for itself.

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

That may just be a collective gasp for air. I'm watching the Houston telecast and I've never seen a more food centric obese group of people and I've lived in KC and Chicago.

[jimidollar]

Can we just skip the 7th inning from now on?

Pretty impressive to beat the Midwest at that!

[Mr. Laz]

Oh gawd, here comes Soria.

[Buehler445]

Behave big bird.

[Mr. Laz]

LMAO

I didn't even know Chris Young was still the league.

[jimidollar]

Harris kicked our asses.

[C3HIEF3S]

Bold strategy for the 8th.

[lewdog]

We've gone to trotting Chris Young out there in a tie game in the 8th.

:facepalm:

[baitism]

Stop shifting on Altuve...

[siberian khatru]

Young facing McCann. Ugh

[siberian khatru]

Young pitching high-leverage innings. Ugh.

Whew, Mondesi off the hook.

Young was fine there.

[KCUnited]

Just like we drew it up.

[Deberg_1990]

Young comes out clean.

Because of course he does

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Not pretty, but 1.3 scoreless innings from Young. I'll take it.

Mother fucker

[Deberg_1990]

Not sure we have found a true closer

[KCUnited]

Springer can end it.

[C3HIEF3S]

Going to consider ourselves lucky that it took 25 innings of this series for the Astros offense to wake up.

[RollChiefsRoll]

Lol our bullpen

[DJJasonp]

short porch - but still no excuse for pitch location.

In all honesty, our pitchers have missed a lot in this series with location, and the stros have yet to hit their stride offensively, and havent made us pay as much as they normally would.

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Not sure we have found a true closer

We had one.... for some reason we traded him.

[Chiefspants]

Clearly Herrera sucks now.

CP is in rare form today.

The bullpen giveth and the bullpen taketh away.

*sigh*

[Jerok]

I'm playing MLB the Show 14 and I just did a home run derby and Jorge Soler won it. So maybe the Wade Davis trade will work out. At least my 3 year old video game thinks so.

[RollChiefsRoll]

Don't worry guys--we still have Soria

[BlackHelicopters]

Gordo!

[BlackHelicopters]

Way off the plate, Moose.

[Reerun_KC]

nice wiff on ball four Moose

Hos and his loopy swing.

Hos ground ball. I am shocked. .....said no one ever.

[baitism]

It's amazing teams still throw Salvy strikes.

[BlackHelicopters]

Horrible swings for Salvy

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

Salvy just can't lay off those pitches down at his ankles.

[BlackHelicopters]

Soria back.

[BlackHelicopters]

Of course. BB

[Dartgod]

Leadoff walk, no bueno.

[C3HIEF3S]

Soria is on point defensively so far.

[BlackHelicopters]

Good play, Jack.

Thank you!

not gonna win with deverinshinski in there. g.d. it!!!

[C3HIEF3S]

Why is Houston wasting that arm in their bullpen? Let that guy make some starts.

[cabletech94]

is that dude a machine? c'mon paulo, YES!!!!

[siberian khatru]

Interesting that Strahm is up throwing, when Ned went with Wood in the 7th. That should've been Strahm's inning. Don't know if there's been a shuffle or if Strahm wasn't even supposed to pitch today, perhaps to give him some time to clear his head or work on something.

[siberian khatru]

Right move, Ned

[BlackHelicopters]

Shit

[Dartgod]

In your fucking eyes, Cheslor.

[Chiefspants]

Hot Take: Despite the at-bat, Cheslor is going to force himself into the lineup with his bat this year.

[Mr. Laz]

fuck

[C3HIEF3S]

Hot Take: Despite the at-bat, Cheslor is going to force himself into the lineup with his bat this year.

I think it's going to be a battle between Mondesi's incompetence at the plate and Cuthbert's incompetence on defense.

[tk13]

You could've bet money that ball would go to Cuthbert.

[baitism]

Not doing Strahm any favors.

[cabletech94]

c'mon double play

[bsroyals54]

high throw moose, not all on CB

[Dartgod]

Should have ended the inning. Flirting with disaster here.

[cabletech94]

c'mon strahm

[tk13]

You could not test Cuthbert any more than you have this inning. A ball batted by the pitcher, having to cover 1st on a bunt and a high throw on a DP turn. Baseball.

[Dartgod]

Rex, "cheese at the knees". What a goofball.

[BlackHelicopters]

Strahm is a POS.

[PHOG]

Ground ball here please

[bsroyals54]

Strahm is wayyy sharper than he was in his previous 2 outings... obviously

[cabletech94]

cool down strahmy

[Chiefspants]

I am okay with a walk off hit to win it.

I am NOT okay with a walk off walk. Make them earn it, Matt.

I am sure Strahm is shaking from my potential disapproval.

[baitism]

Welp

Need more vodka

Fuck, he's going to walk in the winner.

Fuck it. We took 2 out of 3 in Houston.

JFC - what a disappointing way to lose.

Fuck you, Strahm

[C3HIEF3S]

What's the problem with relying on a 25 year old with 22 IP in the majors to be a shutdown guy in the pen, again? Oh, right, everything.

Ridiculous.

and the bats are waking up. a little bit.

[petegz28]
