[BlackHelicopters]

Let's do it!

[Reerun_KC]

What time is the game?

[ptlyon]

7:15

[Reerun_KC]

Hell we have some time to hit the local rec leagues for some guys that can maybe hit the ball!

[lewdog]

Finally a game I can watch live. Thanks for a good fucking start time MLB!

Probably some legal bullshit Baby Lee can tell us about.

[ChiefsCountry]

Opening Day/Week bullshit if finally over. Be glad to get back in a routine for 7pm games from here on out.

[bsroyals54]

Ned before the game on the offense: We just don't have anyone hot right now... Except for Moose and Salvy.

[Halfcan]

Maybe we can get at least one run?

That Home Opener performance was pathetic.

[Halfcan]

:shake:

That explains it all. Just waiting for a hot streak. Maybe they should play for free until then?

[lewdog]

This team of hitters is streaky as fuck.

This same streaky as fuck hitters won a World Series.

[Halfcan]

This team of hitters is streaky as ****.

This same streaky as **** hitters won a World Series.

True story. :clap:

[bsroyals54]

Hammel has the same features that Luke Hochevar did, hope he is at least half the pitcher

[ChiefsCountry]

I think the Ventura pre game thing just mentally just screwed them on opening day.

[kstater]

Im here for the gangbang

Why do I get the feeling Brandon Moss is going to look like an obese slug out there compared to our A outfield

[bsroyals54]

I think the Ventura pre game thing just mentally just screwed them on opening day.

The A's didn't hit shit that entire game either, one HR decided the game.. I think it was the shadows honestly. Neither team saw the ball

[bsroyals54]

Nice play Mondi

[ChiefsCountry]

That was some of it. But it looked like we were just not there mentally.

[ChiefsCountry]

Lets make them pay for that mistake.

[lewdog]

Early fucking runs would be a great change of pace for this team.

Can we just trade Hosmer now?

[KCUnited]

Those evening shadows.

[SPchief]

Yikes

[siberian khatru]

Early ****ing runs would be a great change of pace for this team.

You know what would be a great change of pace for this team? Hosmer not hitting a fucking ground ball 80 percent of the time.

[lewdog]

I'm all for not locking him up long term.

The "clutch" lovers will be around shortly to tell me to eat grass.

[bsroyals54]

that equates to more runs, yes we need individual players to stop sucking so much ass

[ChiefsCountry]

Salvy has the bat dialed in to start this season.

[Great Expectations]

I'm a clutch lover and don't want him for the price tag.

[bsroyals54]

Wish Cheslor would of realized he would not get a good pitch to hit with 1B open and 1 out... ><

[lewdog]

If Ned would have Alcides leading off like last year, we wouldn't be in this position right now.


Think about it.

[ChiefsCountry]

Welp. Good play by the center fielder.

[WhawhaWhat]

If Ned would have Alcides leading off like last year, we wouldn't be in this position right now.


Think about it.

Are you trying to make PB melt down?

[kstater]

If only we had a gold glove left fielder that has insane breaks on batted balls...

Great to see the Royals offense is alive and well.

[petegz28]

we had 2 chances to score and didn't do shit...

they have had 1 and capitalized...

[kstater]

Was that ball in salvys glove before he started his swing?

Yawwwwwnnn, we better do SOMETHING soon. :(

[petegz28]

2-6 to start the season...

what's the odds we are out of it by the end of the month?

[petegz28]

when was the last time we even scored a run?

[Al Bundy]

2-0.. almost seems insurmountable most nights with this offense.

[lewdog]

2-6 to start the season...

We aren't out of this but we've seen what losing, oh I don't know, 10 games in a short period of time can do to your chances at the end of the year.

[Great Expectations]

This pitcher is not very good, our lefties should be destroying him.

[petegz28]

the way this offense is going, it's probably safe to say this game is out of reach.....

even if we do get guys into scoring position we'll hit into a DP or hit it right back to the pitcher.....

[bsroyals54]

What better way to get your first double

[petegz28]

leadoff double with our 4,5 and 6 hitters up....

almost ready to call 3 straight K's....

[Great Expectations]

This guy isn't hitting his spots. The ball is regularly over the middle of the plate.

Someone should tell the Royals this.

absolutely no pitch recognition whatsoever, just a blind bat swinging into space

And there's 1 from our #4 with a RISP 0 outs

[RollChiefsRoll]

Boy, we suck. I miss Kendrys and Zobrist.

[Deberg_1990]

This offense is garbage

[CasselGotPeedOn]

This teams sucks.

[petegz28]

another walk....

[Dartgod]

I'm out. Just found The Princess Bride is on. I'll check in on commercials, but I don't need this frustration.

[Al Bundy]

Hammel looks about done for the night.

[siberian khatru]

6 for 48 with RISP

[petegz28]

they've had their leadoff guy on 1st, twice and scored both times...we've had a leadoff giy on 2nd twice and haven't done shit

[DJJasonp]

I hate to say it, but we're careening towards a fire-sale much sooner than we anticipated.

A lot of these guys get passes with me because they ended the dark ages for us fans in '15.....but man, there is just not a lot of energy/passion out there.

Hosmer especially looks ridiculous - the weird thing is, I dont think I saw one AB for hosmer in the WBC that has been as bad as 3/4 of his ABs have been so far this season. And it wasnt like he was facing chump pitchers throwing spring-training sessions.

[Great Expectations]

they've had their leadoff guy on 1st, twice and scored both times...we've had a leadoff giy on 2nd twice and haven't done shit

But our leadoff guys hit doubles...

[petegz28]

LMAO Christ Hammel...

[petegz28]

ball game

[petegz28]

way to show up for your opening series at home, boys. You've given the fans the absolute least you could for their $

[bsroyals54]

Hammel is a way better pitcher than Wood right now

[Dartgod]

I'm out. Just found The Princess Bride is on. I'll check in on commercials, but I don't need this frustration.

In case you were wondering, the Dread Pirate Roberts just bested a giant and a Sicilian.

Much more entertaining than this game.

[Jerok]

When was the last time the Royals had a firesale at the end of the season?

[Dartgod]

HOLY SHIT!

The Dread Pirate Roberts was Westley all along!

[lewdog]

End of the season?

Never I guess.

[ChiTown]

This is not pleasant to watch. Holy Christ!

[Jerok]

End of the season?

Never I guess.

I guess I meant the trade deadline, while next year free agents still have value.

[lewdog]

I guess I meant the trade deadline, while next year free agents still have value.

Royals have never had this many "big time players" to unload at the deadline. They would unload good outfielders plenty of times though through the years. Dye, Damon.

[bsroyals54]

Fuck.

[bsroyals54]

Only the 5th damn inning and it seems like 15-0

[petegz28]

man Gordon, you really got a hold of that one.....

[bsroyals54]

Nice piece of hitting Alex Spin Gordon!

[Great Expectations]

HOLY SHIT!

How is Buttercup handeling the news?

[tk13]

Yeah I'd say the last big time player they unloaded at the trade deadline was Beltran and that was 2004.

In 2010 they traded a bunch of guys away, Guillen, Podsednik, Ankiel. That was probably the last thing resembling a fire sale.

[zigbazah]

party like it's 2005.

[Jerok]

So is the Gordon RF experiment a failure? If only there was some other position he was a gold glove in...

[Mr. Laz]

Why is Alex Gordon in right field? :spock:

[Jerok]

Interesting that if we have a 'fire sale' it means we sucked this year, and the values of the players will be lower than if we were doing great. Probably not a whole lot lower, though.

[bsroyals54]

im fucking sick of travis wood. he is the worst reliever ive ever seen

[ChiTown]

and, I'm out.

This is like watching a AAA Team. No thanks

No it isn't. A AAA team would actually look like they gave a fuck

Huge ass contract they just gave Alex Gordon means he's virtually untradeable.

Moore will probably start trading guys for pitching prospects in his endless goal of having an elite pitching staff.

We are still waiting for it to happen though.

[lewdog]

This team is turding it up.

[TLO]

This team is just awful...

I don't disagree.

It just seems that Moore has this thing pitching being the currency of the MLB.

I just figured he would trade for more pitching.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I know the bullpen sucks, but has anybody figured out how the fuck Chris Young is still in the major leagues?

[Chiefspants]

This is hard to watch.

[Great Expectations]

[kcchiefsus]

We have the highest team salary in Royals history for this crap? They either need to turn it around completely or just continue to completely suck. The problem is that if we do suck then our players aren't performing and our guys won't return much in mid-season trades.

[kcchiefsus]

It's funny how a lot of the same pieces from that team are still in place, yet they've turned into an absolute abortion.

It's funny, a couple weeks ago I said my biggest worry about this team was the bullpen. I was worried we'd just be average. Now I wished we were even that.

There is a lot of talent on this team, so they can certainly turn this around. They could just as easily rip off a 6-1 week and get things right back to normal.

I really worry they'll start pressing offensively because they know the team will be broken up. That and we have to find 2-3 pitchers Ned can count on in the 6th and 7th innings.

IDK man, long win streak seems hard to pull off with this shit bullpen :O

[bsroyals54]

Salvy has thrown in the towel for tonight it seems

[cabletech94]

this is painful to watch.

[tk13]

Rex keeps talking about the frenzied hitting, but this team has abandoned that when they got Moss and Soler and traded Dyson away. It was pretty clear there was a shift in philosophy to adjust to the increase in HRs across the league. This lineup was built to have six or seven legit 20 HR guys.

[bsroyals54]

Yes, this team is more about moving the line and speed and defense, Moss belongs on the Astros or back to the Fucking A's where he belongs

[tk13]

It will be. The way they're playing right now they'd need the bats to get hot and just bludgeon people for a couple series.

That's not a good start.

ROFL Gonna be a long season but I have a sense our bats are getting ready to start connecting. Mondesi hit the ball hard all night.
