Vargas vs Somebody


And actually it's Seis De Mayo. My Spanish no Bueno

[Chiefspants]

Bigly!

[lewdog]

I'm here.

Need Vargas to pitch well to take out Why Not in fantasy baseball.

[Prison Bitch]

Vargas change rated #1 on PitchFx and it's not even close


Duffman also top 10

[Why Not?]

I'm here.

Need Vargas to pitch well to take out Why Not in fantasy baseball.

You're fine. My team fucking blows.

[Chiefspants]

So begins the Jorge Soler era.

[KCUnited]

Bust

[lewdog]

If only we had Wade Davis back so this offense was better.

[Why Not?]

Very 2017 Royals debut for Soler

[Chiefspants]

Based Vargas

[Chiefspants]

If only we had Wade Davis back so this offense was better.

The dude would be quite the DH, I'm sure.

[Munson]

Hosmer RBI single!

[Why Not?]

Hosmer keeps this up another week or two and I might like him again.

[Why Not?]

My God, Salvy is atrocious with runners on base

[petegz28]

I'd rather DH Cutty over Moss..Moss is fucking terrible

[Ron Swanson]

Another quality AB by Moss.

[Ron Swanson]

Whit made that look easy.

[C3HIEF3S]

Whit has been fucking incredible in the field lately.

[KCUnited]

Whit showing out at 2nd.

[Ron Swanson]

Tomlin is getting a lot of outside strike calls.

[PHOG]

Nice getting over by Strahm for the out.

[C3HIEF3S]

Vintage Royals.

[PHOG]

What a catch by Gordo!! :clap:

[suzzer99]

GORDO! still has some value.

[petegz28]

great fucking catch, Gordon!!! WOW! Think he broke his glasses too

[KCUnited]

RIP those sunglasses

[lewdog]

That was fantastic. Wow.

[C3HIEF3S]

Nice getting over by Strahm for the out.

This. Pure fundamentals. Hosmer's play means nothing if Strahm hesitates breaking to first for even a split second.

[suzzer99]

Love how the announcer calls it a game-saving catch. He knows a 1-run deficit is nearly insurmountable.

[KCUnited]

Sunglasses died a hero.

[KChiefs1]

Gordon saved the season.

That is one reason why anyone saying that perhaps the best left fielder in baseball's history is comparable to Alex Smith is being a dumbass.

Jesus. Who said that?

[Ron Swanson]

Know where your defense is Soria.

[C3HIEF3S]

That's some bullshit hitting right there.

[Why Not?]

Annnnd here we go

[KCUnited]

0-2 in the zone.

[petegz28]

Cleveland getting lucky as fuck right now...

[lewdog]

Not our luck.

[PHOG]

Nice, sit down!! :)

[suzzer99]

Lol at Ramirez complaining about that strike call. He broke the plane by a foot and a half.

[KCUnited]

Sit down Gary Coleman.

[Why Not?]

Fucking Jack.

[Ron Swanson]

Soria back to 2016 form.

[suzzer99]

Wtf is it with Soria kicking balls up the middle? He fucked himself several times last year in huge spots with that. Dude is just snake bit.

[PHOG]

(BS) :shake:

[lewdog]

Build. That. Wall.

[siberian khatru]

Maybe if we could score more than one run against a pitcher with an ERA above 8

[petegz28]

Soria back to 2016 form.

Oh please shut the fuck up

[C3HIEF3S]

Dude has the most seeing-eye hits against I swear.

[Why Not?]

Maybe if we could score more than one run against a pitcher with an ERA above 8

Yep. That's the real issue. Another no show by this all Judy no Punch offense.

You disagree, apparently?

[suzzer99]

That didn't look like piece of anything.

[petegz28]

I dont think the Indians can get any luckier this inning...FUCK YOU UMP

[PHOG]

4 strike K...but damage was done.

[petegz28]

You disagree, apparently?

None of this is Soria's fault. A hit off the a mound, a slow roller in the perfect spot and a hit on a pitch that was out of the zone...yeah, shut the fuck up

[Chiefspants]

You disagree, apparently?

Pitchers are most likely to get outs with swings and misses and by weak contact.

Soria induced both this inning, sometimes runs are given up simply by bad luck. That's what happened here.

[Ron Swanson]

He kicked the ball on purpose when Esky was in position to make an out. Part of his job is knowing where his defense is.

[C3HIEF3S]

He kicked the ball on purpose when Esky was in position to make an out. Part of his job is knowing where his defense is.

That's a natural instinct. No human has the reaction time from the time the ball is hit on that play to make any sort of knowledgable play with his leg. The natural reaction is to get in front of the ball.

[Chiefspants]

I know he got on thanks to an error, but one can't ask for a much better AB from a lefty against Andrew Miller.

[bsroyals54]

Stop blaming Soria, he is executing pitches, This offense sucks out loud, end of story

[KCUnited]

Sit down Tito.

[petegz28]

be nice if we could actually score more than 1 run too...

[petegz28]

Good, Moss not getting a chance to go 0-series

[Ron Swanson]

be nice if we could actually score more than 1 run too...

No doubt.

[KChiefs1]

Maybe if we could score more than one run against a pitcher with an ERA above 8


Absolutely

Poor kid never stood a chance.

[Ron Swanson]

That was nasty.

[siberian khatru]

I felt that coming

[Chiefspants]

I felt that coming

+1

[Ron Swanson]

welp, pretty much how this season has gone

[petegz28]

Kelvin blows it with 2 outs.....wow..seen that a bit too much from him this year already

[C3HIEF3S]

This is still on the offense.

[TLO]

Ballgame

[bsroyals54]

Lindor'd

[petegz28]

Holy fuck....well game over...we can't win 2 in a row to save our lives

[Chiefspants]

I'll never quite get why pitchers throw heat in a 2-0 count if they have other pitches working.

[siberian khatru]

This is still on the offense.

Absolutely

[Chiefspants]

This is still on the offense.

Yep.

[Why Not?]

Just not a good team. Whiffed on all free agents, major offensive regression, bullpen is meh. This is a 70 win team at best.

[bsroyals54]

Indians have 6 different players better than our #1 offensive player

[Ron Swanson]

Absolutely

The offense was pathetic, but your pen giving up 3 in the last two innings is awful too. Plenty of blame to go around this season. On a positive note, Vargas looked great again.

[PHOG]

[QUOTE=C3HIEF3S;12860683]This is still on the offense.[/QUO
Sure is.

[Why Not?]

Good. Up that trade value. Time to nuke and rebuild. I am satisfied for the next 10 years(but not 30, please)

[ChiTown]

Holy ****....well game over...we can't win 2 in a row to save our lives

When was the last time this team won 2 in a row?

[C3HIEF3S]

The offense scored one run off a guy who had given up 23 ER in 23.1 IP this year.

The offense as a unit has run production 33% below the league average this season.

That's the worst in the league.

The Royals hitters have a sum fWAR of -0.2.

That's the worst in the league. The 2014 bullpen couldn't bail out this offense.

[Chiefspants]

Did the team decide as a unit to swing at the first pitch right after the opposing pitchers yields a walk?

[Ron Swanson]

I agree, that doesn't excuse the bullpen from doing their job though.

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer should just hit a homer here and end it, what do you guys think?

[Chiefspants]

Will we get MVP worthy Eric Godsmer or Eric GIDP Hos?

Stay tuned!

[C3HIEF3S]

Hosmer should just hit a homer here and end it, what do you guys think?

lol

[suzzer99]

Jesus Hos

[bsroyals54]

QUALITY AT BAT HOSMER, KINDLY CONTRACT AIDS

[suzzer99]

Butera needs to recreate the greatest walk in Royals history.

[PHOG]

Well, so much for that. :(

[C3HIEF3S]

Yes, our offense is terribad, but Soria can get the fuck off this team. How much more do you need to see out of him?

[petegz28]

Angels series????

[petegz28]

Soria has been good this year. He did not lose this game.

[doomy3]

If only we had Wade Davis back so this offense was better.

Some interesting foreshadowing/jinxing here.

[ping2000]

Royals allergic to win streaks.

[jimidollar]

And to hitting the baseball.

[Prison Bitch]

1 run won't win any games


The offense is to blame, as usual.

[Chiefspants]

Sad!

[Prison Bitch]

Sad!

:clap:

[ping2000]

Sad!
Boring!
Shitty!
Unwatchable!
Minor League!

[tk13]

Soria and Herrera would tell you they have to finish that game today, but asking your pitching staff to basically throw a shutout every day is just impossible. This offense is just so much worse than any other offense that you keep thinking they have to turn it around, but they just aren't.

This team is on pace to score 458 runs. Just for comparison, the Phillies had the fewest runs in the league last year with 610. That really should be a recipe to lose 115 games.

I just don't understand it? If they all just hit career norms they wouldnt be great But be a better offense. How can these guys be bad all at once? These are all veterans. They absolutely should be better than this. Right???

[gblowfish]

I was there today. Impressions:
1) Weather was perfect Absolutely perfect. Lots of empty seats. Disappointing for a Saturday.
2) Vargas deserved a win. He pitched great, and Kipnis getting on to send him to the showers was a damn shame. Ned should have given him at least one more batter.
3) Great catch by Alex to save two runs. But he's not hitting. At all.
4) Bench Moss. Dude sucks.
5) Nothing from our new Right Fielder Solair.
6) Hosmer drove in the only run, but failed big in the 9th to help get the game closer.
7) Merrifield stands there and looks at strike three in the bottom of the ninth. Back to Omaha.
8) Soria gave up the lead, again. You knew that was going to happen.
9) Herrera is not ready to be a closer. You don't do that at home against a division rival you're trying to chase down.
10) Nobody seems to be afraid of Ned or any fallout from this start. If we get another week of this, look for Cain to go to the Nats, which will be step one of the great 2017 fire sale.

You're not going to beat anybody only scoring one run. Royals offense made a pitcher coming in with an ERA over 8 look like Cy Young. Might be time for Dale Sveum to go.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Soler for Wade is gonna be fucking awful

[CasselGotPeedOn]

What exactly is our organizational approach to hitting? Close your eyes and try to hit it as weakly as humanly possible?

[Why Not?]

It's absolutely time for him to go. But Ned doesn't like to fire or replace or bench guys. DM would have to step in
