5-31 GDT

[Al Bundy]

Lets go Royals!

[Why Not?]

Win this game and all of a sudden, if you squint hard enough and throw out the Yankees games, you could see a little something starting to emerge here.

[lewdog]

I think Kennedy pitches excellent tonight.

Bet money on it.....

[KCUnited]

KC gets down early and this turns into the Skoglund flashback emo broadcast.

[penbrook]

Hoz is faster than I thought

[Ron Swanson]

This dipshit pitcher takes forever between pitches.

[TLO]

I think Kennedy pitches excellent tonight.

Bet money on it.....

If I was a gambling man - I would not take this bet

[lewdog]

I love eggs as well.

I could eat 9 everyday and love it. Fried, over-easy, scrambled, hard boiled. LOVE EGGS.

[Ron Swanson]

Cutty!

[petegz28]

way to help yourself there, Kennedy.....dude has been total ass since coming off the DL

[TLO]

I love eggs as well.

I could eat 9 everyday and love it. Fried, over-easy, scrambled, hard boiled. LOVE EGGS.

The fuck?

[petegz28]

they're tagging him hard now....even the out was hard hit

[Ron Swanson]

Great, Kennedy is throwing BP. Gonna take a lot of runs to win tonight.

[lewdog]

The fuck?

Are you listening to the game?

Whit eats 9 eggs for breakfast every morning.

[DaneMcCloud]

I love eggs as well.

I could eat 9 everyday and love it. Fried, over-easy, scrambled, hard boiled. LOVE EGGS.

I eat eggs every single morning. Usually, scrambled egg whites with one real egg and either fresh veggies like spinach, mushrooms and sliced cherry tomatoes or a half a cup of Jimmy Dean's Skillers (sausage, onion, red and green peppers, tiny potatoes). It's really good with Cholula and makes for a great breakfast burrito.

I often have half an avocado on the side, too.

I love all of that as well.

I don't eat breakfast but I will make eggs many times as something to have after I eat dinner.

I love breakfast burritos if I am allowing myself some extra calories. So many things you can do with them, adding chorizo being my favorite.

[petegz28]

No walks.....

[petegz28]

K > BB.....nice

[petegz28]

ugh...stop walking people, damn it

[petegz28]

bases loaded on 3 walks....

[Ron Swanson]

Well, that's one way to not give up any hits to the heart of their order.

[petegz28]

Way to go, Kennedy.....2 guys that never put the ball in play just tied the game....

[ChiTown]

Nice work, fuck head

[penbrook]

Kennedy is complete ass

[Ron Swanson]

Yank his sorry ass.

[ChiTown]

Worthless fucking cunt

[lewdog]

Kennedy is turding it up.

[penbrook]

Fuck kennedy

[petegz28]

3 walks, 4 runs in this inning...go from winning 3-1 to losing 5-3..and now an error....wow

[Al Bundy]

Ian Kennedy is a dirty cocksucker.

[petegz28]

Isn't this how the game went on Monday? We had a 3-0 lead and our pitchers decided to shit their leg?

[Ron Swanson]

Could be a wild one tonight, going to be a lot of innings pitched by two bad bullpens.

[lewdog]

Could be a wild one tonight, going to be a lot of innings pitched by two bad bullpens.

This. All of this.

This game could get fun.

[siberian khatru]

Can we just put Kennedy back on the DL?

[petegz28]

Kennedy is either still hurt physically or isn't over his injury mentally. He has fucked off leads in 2 of his last 3 starts if not all 3. And I mean 3+ run leads, not 1 run leads.

[petegz28]

Always love it when the line shows the other team with more runs than hits. 3 walks, all score. Probably should not walk people so much.

[petegz28]

Well, there it is, Kennedy is still worrying about his injury or he is still injured. Either way he has cost us very winnable games.

[penbrook]

Our bullpen sucks ass

[lewdog]

We can easily tag their bullpen for 5 runs.

Too bad our pen might give up 5 more.

[Ron Swanson]

Maness is trash, just cut him.

[petegz28]

Between Hammel, Soria and Kennedy, I think they gave up 13 runs in 7 or 8 innings this series?

[Dartgod]

Always love it when the line shows the other team with more runs than hits. 3 walks, all score. Probably should not walk people so much.

Well, they have more hits than runs now, if that makes you feel any better.

[penbrook]

Good stroke cuthbert

[SBInfinity]

Can Cuthbert play LF?
I know he's hitting below .200 but there's signs of life there
he actually hits the ball hard sometimes which is something Alex doesn't do any more.

[petegz28]

way to go, Gordo....fuck

[BWillie]

No. No he can't.

[SBInfinity]

just sad watching Gordon
he just has nothing

[Ron Swanson]

Gordon is beyond terrible, too bad Soler sucks so bad or he could sit for awhile.

[lewdog]

Does he still have to get playing time?

Can't he be benched for like a week?

[penbrook]

Clutchscobar comes through! Esky is heating up!!

[ChiTown]

Attaboy, Esky

[Meatloaf]

Alex Gordon cannot drive the ball out of the infield. Needs to be riding pines. Suck City.

[penbrook]

Gordon is beyond terrible, too bad Soler sucks so bad or he could sit for awhile.

If Orlando wasn't hurt I would start him

[bsroyals54]

can't Alex Gordon just walk back to the dugout before seeing a pitch? Its the same result. No, seriously.

[petegz28]

Esky beef for the clutch

[penbrook]

Worth a shot why not

[bsroyals54]

The elusive stolen base for Escobar continues

[Dartgod]

Ned's throwing in the towel apparently.

[petegz28]

I'd take Dyson over Gordon in a NY minute right now.

[SBInfinity]

No. No he can't.

I know
I just cant believe how weak Alex has become.
A solid .800 OPS player drops to sub .700 last year and sub .500 this year. Getting close to 200 plate appearances this year
Hard to just call it a slump

[penbrook]

Why is young in!!

[BWillie]

I'd take Dyson over Gordon in a NY minute right now.

Well yeah, Dyson would be the 2nd best player on our team right now, even despite hitting .225, he's at 1.4 WAR last I checked.

[petegz28]

good call bringing in Young....guess I'll go find something else to watch

[siberian khatru]

Ridiculous to pitch Young in a game that's still competitive.

[Ron Swanson]

Young should not be on a MLB roster, he is terrible. I appreciate what he did in 2015, but he is done.

[SBInfinity]

Ridiculous to pitch Young in a game that's still competitive.

Ned is crossing his fingers and playing the "he's due for a couple of scoreless innings" card

[SAUTO]

Ridiculous to pitch Young in a game that's still competitive.

He hasn't lost this year/tigger

[lewdog]

Young looks great.

Maybe another spot start soon?

[KChiefs1]

Young looks great.

Maybe another spot start soon?


He's undefeated.

Young is great!

[Pablo]

I think there's a spot for him to start on the janitorial staff. Custom jumpsuit and all.

[SBInfinity]

We're essentially an NL team with Alex occupying the pitcher's spot in the lineup

[KCCHIEFS27]

Time for a restructure.

[baitism]

fucking ump

[Ron Swanson]

bullshit call

[penbrook]

Bullshit call

[Al Bundy]

Blue got fooled by the movement of the pitch.

[Dartgod]

That was horrible.

[KCCHIEFS27]

That was really bad

[penbrook]

Let's go!!

[penbrook]

Keep
Hitting Boni

[baitism]

As bad as the Royals have been, we're only five games out. This team needs to pull its head out of their asses. Dayton is in a tough position, he really should sell, but the shitty ass AL Central may tempt him not to.

[baitism]

At what point does Yost PH Moose for Gordon? Seriously.

[SBInfinity]

probably should've be Moose in there

[penbrook]

No Moose will hit for gordon

[penbrook]

Cuthbert was 2-3 at that point. No reason to pinch Moose for Cutty

[SBInfinity]

there's really no excuse not to in the 9th
especially if there's a RHP, but really no matter who is in there

[Ron Swanson]

yep, save him for Gordon in the 9th

[penbrook]

Question is do you pinch hit Butera?

[lewdog]

If Alex hits here, I'll kill somebody.

[penbrook]

Fuck Yost!!

[Dartgod]

WTF, Ned??

[Great Expectations]

Why not Soler power?

[Al Bundy]

Butera with a great at bat.

[Ron Swanson]

WTF Ned!

[lewdog]

Holy fucking dirty shit.

This is retarded.

[Al Bundy]

Gordon with his one hit every 20 at bats.

[penbrook]

Well I'll be damned

[SBInfinity]

who wanted to PH for Alex???
Ned knows what he's doing

[penbrook]

Soler now?

[RealSNR]

Holy fucking shit an Alex Gordon hit.

[lewdog]

Great fucking AB.

Loved it.

Knew it.

[penbrook]

who wanted to PH for Alex???
Ned knows what he's doing

I'll admit I wanted him to

[penbrook]

We could really use gore or Dyson

[SBInfinity]

shit, why not hit Moose for esky?
We'll figure out the defense later if needed

[Ron Swanson]

Great AB Escobar, glad Moose is still on the bench.

[penbrook]

shit, why not hit Moose for esky?
We'll figure out the defense later if needed

Moose third and Cutty at short?

[Dartgod]

Save us LoCain!

[dlphg9]

Jesus Christ did they swing hard enough

[Al Bundy]

If only Ian Kennedy wasn't a complete pile of dog shit...

[lewdog]

Dicks for everyone.

[baitism]

I think I am mentally ready for them to break up the band. Eight games below .500 at the end of May is pretty miserable.

[SBInfinity]

Moose third and Cutty at short?

or Whit at SS, cutty at 2nd
a Moose dong and it wouldn't matter
but Ned would rather leave Moose on the bench and let THREE sub-.200 guys hit :rolleyes:

[Ron Swanson]

I don't complain about Ned too much, but he was a fucking idiot tonight.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Welp, that sucked.

But somehow they're only still 5.5 out of first.

Trying to find another positive . . . . . .


In 2014, Royals went 12-17 in May and were sitting at 26-30 on June 1st.


That's all I got.

[SBInfinity]

in the short segment of the post-game presser they showed Ned said he was going to PH Moose for Butera
I assume he meant if Cuthbert got on in the 8th
So then Salvy goes to C and we have no DH if the game goes extras? can someone else catch who I'm not thinking of?
and if you're going to PH for Drew in the 8th why not the 9th?
he said Esky had two hits and was swinging too well to PH for him

The 2014 Royals were under .500 after the All-Star break. I'm sure you could find plenty of teams who started slow and finished strong.

It's probably even more relevant this year because pretty much the entire AL is .500 so literally no one is out of it. Only problem is Houston. They are just annihilating everyone. 17 more runs today. On pace for 114 wins.

We already swept them. They're no match!

[Why Not?]

If only Ian Kennedy wasn't a complete pile of dog shit...

Yeah. People keep referencing Kennedy as a potential rotation piece for the next few years. Not sure why? He fucking sucks.

[tk13]

Yeah. People keep referencing Kennedy as a potential rotation piece for the next few years. Not sure why? He ****ing sucks.

He hasn't been right since coming off the DL. He was solid in the 2nd half last year though. A guy who can throw 200 IP and post a sub-4 ERA in the American League is extremely valuable.

[Why Not?]

Yeah, for sure if he can get back to what he was end of last year. Maybe he just needs time but he just doesn't seem right.

[BWillie]

We're essentially an NL team with Alex occupying the pitcher's spot in the lineup

We honestly should consider using Vargas to hit when he pitches and DH Alex while he still plays LF.

Didn't he go through the same thing in 2015 with the Padres? Pulled his hammy, missed the start of the season, came back and was dogshit for the first two months?

[tk13]

You joke but Travis Wood can legit hit for a pitcher. Maddon would use him as a pinch hitter. He has 9 career homers in 280 at bats. There were 3 games last year where he played LF for a bit so he could rotate back in to pitch.
