Duffman Returns

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This outta be an ass whoopin !

[penbrook]

Why is Moss is there ugh

[TLO]

In!

[gblowfish]

Did you guys see Valencia chirping at Soria last night after K'ing for the final out? Soria quick pitched him. Just a smart play by Jack. Sour grapes by Valencia. I thought maybe Country Breakfast was gonna jump out of the stands and bitch slap him!

[KChiefs1]

Twins won.

In some weird way I kinda miss Billy

[petegz28]

Soler is swinging a good bat so bench him...

[penbrook]

Yesterday he sucked ass

[petegz28]

Yesterday he sucked ass

1 game..and he had some hard hits if I remember right..just didn't find any holes...

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Soler is swinging a good bat so bench him...

Was thinking the same thing. He's not connecting really good but you can tell he's on the verge of awesomeness. Moss, ehh!

[penbrook]

Any chance on trading for Madson or Doolittle?

[penbrook]

Oh WHIT

[KCUnited]

Boom

[Dartgod]

wHit!!

[PHOG]

1 pitch, 1 hit, 1 run :clap:

[penbrook]

WHIT is gonna be a future All Star

[penbrook]

Seriously ump. Terrible call

[Dartgod]

That looked like a pretty generous call.

[penbrook]

Salvy walked wtf

[penbrook]

Moose got robbed

[penbrook]

Starling Castro may moss the All Star game. Any chance Whit replaces him

[tk13]

If Whit and Gordon can get to 10 HR... and that looks like a definite possibility now that Gordon's hitting, the Royals could have 8 guys in double digits in HR. Not sure if that's ever happened before.

[lewdog]

Sorry. Lewdog checking in late.

[Dartgod]

Not a great start, could use a double play in a bad way.

[Dartgod]

Dammit.

[penbrook]

Damn

[C3HIEF3S]

Out of the pool, into the GDT.

We got this, boys.

[KCUnited]

Whitfield /mariners telecast

[big nasty kcnut]

Moss ugh!

[penbrook]

Gordon missed it about 2 feet

[dlphg9]

Man Gordo hit that one hard

[penbrook]

Man Gordo hit that one hard

It was carrying. He just missed it

[penbrook]

We're hitting Felix hard

[dlphg9]

I absolutely hate that Hud calls with Whitley

[penbrook]

Okay Boni is broken

[gblowfish]

The Royals are doing 7500 Nebraska hats, but only 3300 Mizzou hats. Wonder why that is? Seems weird.

[tk13]

Great play by Duffy not to touch that one.

[C3HIEF3S]

Truthfully, I think all three of our announcers aren't very good at their jobs.

Not to say that they don't have their own worth individually. But man, so many painful calls.

Would you consider Hud the best one?

[tk13]

I thought it might be because of the sponsor, but both nights are sponsored by Rally House. Go figure. Although having Alex Gordon probably doesn't hurt.

[C3HIEF3S]

Honestly, he's had the most success. Worked in Anaheim, got a gig on the MLB video game for a couple years, played in the Majors, and the fans love him the most. Goofy as all hell, but the most-knowledgeable when you see past it.

Fever's book "The Shame of Me" was one of the best reads of my lifetime so far, but he just doesn't have the broadcaster's voice. His World Series call was just horrendous.

Physioc just isn't good. I am sure he is a great guy, but we need a signature personality on-air.

[Dartgod]

MOOSE DONG!!!

[penbrook]

Moose you fucking animal

[PHOG]

KA-BOOM MOOSE!!

[penbrook]

Pay the man!!

[tk13]

Moose call.

[lewdog]

He is so fucking locked in.

His swing is so fucking perfect. Nice, easy and compact while generating power.

[C3HIEF3S]

Pay the man!!

.

[penbrook]

Moss!

[RealSNR]

MOOSE FUCKING DONG

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Hey, Moss didn't suck this time !

[big nasty kcnut]

Moosebomb and moss did something!

[tk13]

I still feel like Moss is just too much of a professional hitter not to run into a hot streak eventually.

The problem is he's a .220 hitter anyway, so when he slumps, it looks horrible.

[RealSNR]

Agreed. Physioc is really bland. I'm not looking for Gus Johnson or anything. Just some more consistent patter and a couple more notches on the energy scale.

[eDave]

Not a bad hop guys. Plenty of time to get in front of that.

[big nasty kcnut]

Gordo!

[Demonpenz]

Physioc and Hud work better together than Ryan and Rex.

[RealSNR]

Robinson Cannot

[tk13]

Physioc and Hud work better together than Ryan and Rex.

They worked together for years in Anaheim before coming here. That helps.

[big nasty kcnut]

Yeah i like phy and rex. Ryan got a voice for radio.

[Al Bundy]

C'mon Whit... a HR would be neat.

[Demonpenz]

Light tower power.

[BWillie]

Phys has a fantastic voice and enough energy, hes just a little generic

[Demonpenz]

I think they got same good ole attitude and Ryan and Denny both feel like they are 1 more mound visit away from doing Deer Hunter across the broadcast booth.

[big nasty kcnut]

#votemoose or else!

[PHOG]

Nice rally guys! Now hold them down here. :thumb:

[eDave]

Brockmire would be cool.

If any of you guys are K-State fans, I have a Royals K-State Night Hat I sell you for $25.
Just PM me if you're interested.

[petegz28]

I cannot stand Fever....he is a Denny wanna-be

[C3HIEF3S]

He's oblivious.

Case in point: thinking that was strike 3, yet it was strike 2.

[C3HIEF3S]

Who is also way past his time and has no business still doing games. Hall of Famer, first and foremost, but he should've rode into the sunset ten years ago. Listened to the radio last night on the way home to Illinois from Kansas. Royals radio has three broadcasters per game and Royals TV has two announcers that split the season.

Literally every single announcer. Just find some consistency. Please.

[KChiefs1]

He's also just not very intelligent.

It's embarrassing so I never buy him KSU sports gear.

[BWillie]

Duffball mowin them down now.

[lewdog]

Duffy now pitching very efficient. Under 60 pitches through 4.

[C3HIEF3S]

Just can't keep this team down. Infectious, just like the 2014-15 years.
One of my buddies is a Twins fan who just texted me and said "the Royals are trying to keep up with the (fire emoji) Twins"

My only response, "haha"

That's all a comment like that deserves. The Twins will Twin, and enjoy their 83 win season come September.

[Al Bundy]

FUCK YEAH!!!!

[lewdog]

King who!?!?!?!

[Dartgod]

Salvy!!

[eDave]

MOOSE DANG!!!

[big nasty kcnut]

Salvy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BWillie]

Looks like those jerkoffs at Pecota/baseball prospectus are going to be extremely wrong about us for like the 6th year in a row. Are we just the luckiest team ever or what?

[PHOG]

Nice DP! :clap:

[big nasty kcnut]

Nice DP there it was so hot they put it on pornhub!

[KChiefs1]

I wanted to see Duffy pitch the 6th but if he lets another base runner on then I pull him.

Those Royals will start tanking very soon to balance out the string of statistical anomalies! Just you watch! It's going to happen!

[Why Not?]

Solid job by Duffy. Needs a little help from Moylan to make it a very satisfactory return from the DL

[Why Not?]

I know he has a million era but Peter has been nails lately.

[tk13]

I know he has a million era but Peter has been nails lately.

We were examining this yesterday a bit in the game thread. His ERA is basically high because of three truly horrific outings. And those obviously count, but otherwise he has like 30-some odd scoreless outings. Not something you see everyday for a guy with an ERA approaching 6.

[Why Not?]

Truthfully, I think all three of our announcers aren't very good at their jobs.

Not to say that they don't have their own worth individually. But man, so many painful calls.

I'm out of town so I've been having to listen to this series on satellite radio. The Mariners play by play guy is God awful. He's the total opposite of Denny Matthews. He calls every routine play like it's a game 7 walk off. So annoying

Gotcha. Glad you guys covered it. I was on the road during the game so I only caught a bit of the GT yesterday.

There is a middle-ground to be discovered, for sure.

The Indians also have some of those "Game 7" announcers.

Good tv broadcast teams that I can recall off of the top of my head, IMO: Tigers, Giants, new White Sox announcer (not Hawk) + Steve Stone, Tampa Bay, Miami.

[Why Not?]

Long way to go but 1-0 Padres after 5. May we get a "Xmas in July" present?

[big nasty kcnut]

Please!

[big nasty kcnut]

Thank you freddie garza jr. For singing and serving our country!

[penbrook]

Damn 27 2/3 innings we have a 1.30 era from the bullpen

[Demonpenz]

Homser sucks on defense.

[petegz28]

Fuck..this ain't good.....

[gblowfish]

That's a bad error from Hoz. Take the sure out there.

[petegz28]

bomb ties it....

[Why Not?]

bomb ties it....

As in that happened or as in that could happen?

[petegz28]

DEFENSE!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Nice!

[C3HIEF3S]

This team is good. Rack 'em up.

[gblowfish]

We may have a real second baseman, y'all...

[C3HIEF3S]

As in that happened or as in that could happen?

Did not happen. Could have happened.

[penbrook]

Nice play Whit

[eDave]

Whew.

[Dartgod]

Thank you! Minimal damage done. Now lets get two to make up for it.

[lewdog]

Our middle infield can still ball out of control on defense.

[penbrook]

Whit will be an All Star at some point

[penbrook]

Thank you! Minimal damage done. Now lets get two to make up for it.

Yep no earned runs allowed.

[big nasty kcnut]

Good we made it out of that situation.

[Why Not?]

Cool. Just saw that. In a condo so having to follow CBS sports game tracker

[Demonpenz]

WHITLEY

[C3HIEF3S]

Silky, silky mitt.

[Demonpenz]

VOTE MOOSE

[gblowfish]

That's the Dyson I know and love...

[Dartgod]

Love ya Dyson, but sit the fuck down!

[siberian khatru]

Sorry, Jarrod, it's business, not personal

[C3HIEF3S]

Love Dyson, but there's a reason why he was never an everyday player in KC.

He sucks perennial, golden ass against LHP's. That weakness was hidden when he was either our 4th OF or started in short stints with us.

[Kidd Lex]

Has to be a special kind of suck for Dyson to strike out in that situation there. These guys were so tight and now he's on the outside looking in.

[gblowfish]

You guys think Gordon will get over .200 this year? We still owe him like $50 million...

[big nasty kcnut]

You guys think Gordon will get over .200 this year? We still owe him like $50 million...

I think he will. He too prideful to keep playing this bad.

[Demonpenz]

Awesome that Merifield is good since colon sucked. Nice effort by thor out there.

[BWillie]

You guys think Gordon will get over .200 this year? We still owe him like $50 million...

100%. Think its very possible he ends the year with a higher avg than Boni

[Coach]

Mariners catcher is having a shitty night....

[Spott]

That works.

[siberian khatru]

Finally an insurance run off that turd Gallardo

[gblowfish]

If Dyson would have been in Center he'd have caught that.

[big nasty kcnut]

Ok i like this.

[Why Not?]

1-0 Pads through 7

[RealSNR]

When's the last time the opposing team threw 3 wild pitches in a Royals game?

Yep that will never change

Huge series win. Get the sweep tomorrow and find a way to get one in LA and this is a hugely successful road trip.

[PHOG]

Great win! The sweep is looking good with Vargas going tomorrow. Get it! :clap:

Fuck that, we want at least 2.

Much more enjoyable to watch after a disastrous April.

Sunday.

We will lose that one

Kershaw throwing a no-hitter after 5 innings.

Would be great to catch him after a no-hitter. Don't have any stats in front of me but for some reason I think putchers always throw a crappy game after a no-hitter.
