Offical Royals revenge thread! Vargas vs Bumgarner

[Deberg_1990]

Im in....Are you?

Bold prediction:


Royals 12

Giants 7

[siberian khatru]

Royals 12

Giants 7

After last night, probably. Baseball is funny like that.

[Why Not?]

Well, Bumgarner has looked relatively pedestrian for him on the mound so if we weren't batting aids, I would feel good about it. But more than likely 2-1 Giants again or some crap.

Standing O or boos tonight for Madison?

Standing boos.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

They just said Giants are 0-3 in Bumfucks 3 starts and Royals are 2-0 in Vargas starts

[PHOG]

3-1 Royals, Virtual offensive breakout...

[RealSNR]

Have a seat, Marv

[lewdog]

First time getting a swim in the pool this year.

Fantastic day.

Royals win 4-2 tonight.

Nice, we'll open ours in a couple weeks, and then a couple weeks worth of work, and then everyone can enjoy.
We sure do, and so do the kids, grandkids, to say the least, and no I'm not a pool salesman, HONEST!

[KCUnited]

Nice battle by Sal.

[KCUnited]

Damn, they have the grunt mic turnt to 11 tonight.

[ChiefsCountry]

Bad luck there.

[ChiTown]

Crap. Cutty laced that one. I like this lineup tonight

[RealSNR]

Cuthbert does everything right on that one. Just crap fucking luck.

[C3HIEF3S]

Vargas is a fucking horse.

[Ron Swanson]

Vargas is dealing this season.

[RealSNR]

5 strikeouts in 3 innings for Vargy. 0 hits.

He looks so damn good up there.

[KCUnited]

Best starting pitching in my adult fandom. Please score a couple runs. Just 2 runs.

[Al Bundy]

Another scoring chance wasted.

[Munson]

Hosmer keeps choking with RISP.

[ChiTown]

Fucking Hos.....

[dlphg9]

Fuck Hosmer

[KCUnited]

The WNBA of offenses.

[tk13]

Gonna regret wasting these chances.

[Ron Swanson]

I already watched this game yesterday.

[petegz28]

Hos has come up short with RISP too much to be a #4

[siberian khatru]

Someone needs to beat the shit out of Hos

[RealSNR]

I can't remember how Hos usually breaks out of these slumps he gets into. Does he see some sort of witch doctor?

[BlackHelicopters]

Hos. What a waste. All that alleged talent and hits grounders to second. Rapidly losing trade value.

[ChiTown]

Vargas is just dealing!

[KCUnited]

Have you heard we lost game 7 of the 2014 WS?

[siberian khatru]

Jeff Parker‏ @RoyallySpeaking

I think my tv is broke. Its been showing the same Hosmer at bat all month.

[BlackHelicopters]

The True Hos is like a chupacabra. A creature of urban legend.

[lewdog]

Gonna need to get to their bullpen.

Work these fucking counts!!!

[BlackHelicopters]

Can someone remind me what Hos is pulling down this season. Too drunk to look it up.

[Al Bundy]

Offense looking amazing.

[ChiTown]

Gonna need to get to their bullpen.

Work these ****ing counts!!!

PFFT! MadBum will throw 150 pitches if he needs to tonight in order to get the CG win

[lewdog]

Can someone remind me what Hos is pulling down this season. Too drunk to look it up.

Around 12M.

[petegz28]

I gotta say, we have hit into some really shitty luck while these fuckers have had more seeing-eye, bullshit

[KChiefs1]

Vargas is nails.

[Deberg_1990]

Love me some rebuilt Vargas!

[Mr. Laz]

Ghost bats again

[lewdog]

If it wasn't for the other games this season, I'd say this game is all Bumgarner. But I think this is all just our hitters.

[petegz28]

better hope he whiffed the tag or he is out as fuck

[petegz28]

that was a terrible slide, Orlando

[Mr. Laz]

Why the fuck does Orlando not put his front foot on the bag?

It slid down the side

[RealSNR]

I think his foot is on.

[Dartgod]

I never saw a tag.

But we'll get hosed anyway.

[mr. tegu]

We have actually been hitting him well today. Some pretty solid contact and decent amount of baserunners. We just can't get the key hits right now.

[Chiefspants]

Hindsight is 50/50, but I wish Gordo would have been given the green light on 3-0, this offense needs a spark.

[tk13]

Darn Giants and their fundamentally sound defense. Nice job backing up the play. Saved a run.

[BWillie]

Bumgarner has got to be like, I thought the American League is supposed to be tough? This is like AAA.

[RealSNR]

Getting really sick of a runner at 3rd with 2 outs.

[Munson]

LOL @ the Moose dive!

[petegz28]

great hustle, Moose!

[lewdog]

Fuck yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love Moose!!!!!!!!!

[RealSNR]

RUN FAT BOY RUN!

[petegz28]

Hosmer about to make it 4 straight shitty AB's with RISP....

[mr. tegu]

Very clever by Moose to slide there to avoid the tag.

[tk13]

That wasn't pretty but we'll take it.

[Chiefspants]

It's time for a four hopper to second, get ready!

[Dartgod]

Hosmer about to make it 4 straight shitty AB's with RISP....

I feel he's going to come through here.

[RealSNR]

We just had a very successful at bat by Cain. That must mean we're due to see a worthless pile of shit at the plate.

[lewdog]

Hosmer about to go playoff Hoz here.

[mr. tegu]

Hos with yet another chance. 50/50 on either a grounder to second or first base.

[ChiTown]

LOL

[Great Expectations]

At least it wasn't a ground out to second.

[Dartgod]

I feel he's going to come through here.

Never mind. It was just gas.

[petegz28]

:facepalm:

[ChiTown]

Hey, I'll take 1-0

[Chiefspants]

Hosmer about to go playoff Hoz here.

Game 7 Hos checking in.

[siberian khatru]

Meh, who needs insurance runs?

[petegz28]

time for Hos to get put down to #5 and wake his ass up a bit

[RealSNR]

Hey, I'll take 1-0

Disappointed we didn't win the big cash prize, but hey, at least we got a fun size Snickers bar out of the deal!

[Deberg_1990]

Damn. Our rotation is amazingly solid

[siberian khatru]

Not sure I'm ready to buy into the Royals' strategy this year of trying to win every game 1-0.

[ChiefsCountry]

Not sure I'm ready to buy into the Royals' strategy this year of trying to win every game 1-0.

Other side of the state is trying 2-1 every game.

[tk13]

Not sure I'm ready to buy into the Royals' strategy this year of trying to win every game 1-0.

No doubt, although at least if the rotation continues pitching this well, the team will be in every game. Slightly better odds than leaning on a team with great offense but a terrible rotation.

[Chiefspants]

With that walk, Sal has proven he should be leading off.

[Deberg_1990]

What exactly does "Too Legit to Whit" mean?

[tk13]

With that walk, Sal has proven he should be leading off.

Perez
Escobar
Hosmer
Cain
Moose
Soler
Gordon
Whit
Moss

[lewdog]

With that walk, Sal has proven he should be leading off.

If we start losing.

Prepare for his return.

And then just ignore him.

[Al Bundy]

The offense is raking.

[ChiefsCountry]

With that walk, Sal has proven he should be leading off.

Who wants Sal to lead off?

[RealSNR]

I want Bochy to come collect Bumgarner. I don't want him to finish strong before they go to the bullpen

[Deberg_1990]

It's clear it's time for Alcides to move back to lead off

[Great Expectations]

Barely missed that.

[Chiefspants]

If we start losing.

Prepare for his return.

And then just ignore him.

I'm ready.

[DJJasonp]

good pitching by monica seles, er, I mean madbum.

[thebrad84]

It simply amazes me how it seems that no Royals player is ever looking for a walk.

ROFL

[Deberg_1990]

It's clearly not their philosophy

[cabletech94]

this may just be spur of the moment, buuuuuuuut:

1. i want to have Vargas' next child.


2. (and this may just be in the moment) i hope Hosmer is sodomized by an 800lb gorilla. (srsly, how can i say this, i friggin' love hos).

[cabletech94]

everyone gets cheap McyDs!!!!!

fugggggin' hoooooray!!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Vargas is a dealing.

[lewdog]

2. (and this may just be in the moment) i hope Hosmer is sodomized by an 800lb gorilla. (srsly, how can i say this, i friggin' love hos).

It's fine to say this. I honestly believe he's a lazy player who is too confident in his current skill set to ever become better. It's insanely frustrating. He simply isn't working hard enough to fix his deficiencies.

[siberian khatru]

TJ surgery turned Jason Vargas into Clayton Kershaw

[lewdog]

TJ surgery turned Jason Vargas into Clayton Kershaw

Tommy John everyone this off season!!!

[Pablo]

Tommy John everyone this off season!!!

Both arms to be safe.

[tk13]

I was about to say Tom Glavine has apparently inhabited Vargas' arm, but this works too.

[cabletech94]

Both arms to be safe.

esto!!!!

[petegz28]

another terrible slide by Orlando...

[Ron Swanson]

wtf kind of slide was that?

[lewdog]

Can you fucktards practice sliding for one God damn fucking game!!!!!!!!????

[tk13]

Time for sliding practice tomorrow.

[cabletech94]

wtf kind of slide was that?

very paulo like.....

[wazu]

Time for sliding practice tomorrow.

Moose is excused.

[cabletech94]

Moose is excused.

i disagree, good sir. Moose only has to practice sliding into first base.

[KChiefs1]

Vargas has been amazing. Gotta get him a win tonight.

Soria is looking like the old Soria.

Herrera will get the top of the order in the ninth

[cabletech94]

Herrera will get the top of the order in the ninth

wouldn't want it any other way.

[Al Bundy]

Looking good offense

[Dartgod]

Where was that when we had base runners Hos?

[ChiefsCountry]

Nice rip by Hos.

[KChiefs1]

Hos with another bases empty hit.

How about doing that with RISP?

[ChiefsCountry]

There we go boys.

[siberian khatru]

Hot damn

[Chiefspants]

The true heart and soul of KC, folks.

[Dartgod]

Oh hey, an insurance run!

Well done guys. Don't stop now.

[tk13]

Nice baserunning by Hosmer.

[siberian khatru]

No funny stuff, Kelvin

[Dartgod]

:facepalm:

[lewdog]

Do NOT fuck around tonight.

Jesus.

[siberian khatru]

Great start

[tk13]

Always a good strategy to walk the leadoff guy when you're up by 2.

Perfect double play ball.....

:clap:

We beat Bum!!!!!!!!!

[Munson]

Quality win.

[ChiefsCountry]

Thats a winner boys!

[Chiefspants]

WINNER.

[siberian khatru]

WHIT

[wazu]

That was fun.

[lewdog]

Nice feeling to that win.

[KCCHIEFS27]

Vargas was incredible. Damn, he is looking sharp so far this year.

[SAUTO]

Fuck yes.

Wish they had won that one last night, Fuckers

[Deberg_1990]

Awesome win!

[tk13]

Nice game. Glavine with the win. We move into a four way tie for 2nd place.

[Al Bundy]

Nice offensiveless win.

[Shogun]

I bet somebody $100 that Vargas was going to be our best pitcher the first half of the season. Is paying Dividends so far.

[C3HIEF3S]

What a game. This starting staff has been absolutely money so far.

[tk13]

And just like that, the Rays score 2 runs in the 9th to come from behind and beat Detroit.

[Chiefspants]

K-Rod continues the Tigers proud bullpen tradition.

[Great Expectations]

How is Vargas' velocity now compared to pre TJ?

[tk13]

How is Vargas' velocity now compared to pre TJ?

According to FanGraphs pitch f/x, pretty much the same. He's been pretty consistent every single year of his career.

[petegz28]

Nice win but we need to start putting up more than 4 runs every 3 games...

[petegz28]

Vargas, however, is looking all fucking world. I hope he can carry this all season.

[Deberg_1990]

According to FanGraphs pitch f/x, pretty much the same. He's been pretty consistent every single year of his career.

Interesting. For whatever reason it looks like he's throwing harder now

[lewdog]

Interesting. For whatever reason it looks like he's throwing harder now

Does to me too.

So if it's the same speed, he's definitely got more movement and rotation then.

[siberian khatru]

Interesting. For whatever reason it looks like he's throwing harder now

His change has been fantastic.

The stuff is Glavine-esque, but the results have been Kershaw-like, with goose eggs and K's.

[wazu]

No hits for Whit tonight. BACK TO OMAHA!!!

[lewdog]

No hits for Whit tonight. BACK TO OMAHA!!!

I was told he should be our leadoff hitter because he's that good.

[RealSNR]

No hits for Whit tonight. BACK TO OMAHA!!!

Send him back to Omaha and bring up Peter O'Brien :whackit:

[wazu]

I was told he should be our leadoff hitter because he's that good.

In fairness, our leadoff is Gordon. Escobar is probably next up. Among the three, who do you feel best about when they are at the plate?

[Molitoth]

Im in....Are you?

Bold prediction:


Royals 12

Giants 7


I laughed. =)

[Why Not?]

Great win! Vargas is fucking money. Glad that series is over, I was getting sick of all the 2014 WS what ifs?

[wazu]

Yeah, the Bumgardner love from our own media guys was sickening. Might as well run a clip of Elway highlights.

Lol. Seriously

[Dartgod]

No worries, he'll get four hits tonight so it averages out.
