[lewdog]

Hammel on the mound?

Looks like I'll find something better to do with my time tonight.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Thank god Gordon's out

Our lineup has power all the way thru #8

[RealSNR]

Hammel on the mound?

He's been our 3rd best SP over these past weeks

[siberian khatru]

Fucking Yankees not doing us any favors

[Al Bundy]

Let's fuck Paxton up.

[penbrook]

Tribe 4-0 over Yanks

[penbrook]

Let's **** Paxton up.

He's a real good pitcher. We should score at least 5 off of him

[Munson]

Melky!!!!!

[penbrook]

Melky says fuck you Gordon!!

[penbrook]

Looked like Aoki out there

[duncan_idaho]

Hammel has been effective, but man, he's an excruciatingly slow worker.

Circus catch by Melky... really Edmonds-ed that one (should never have been a tough catch).

Great Hammel!

[penbrook]

Whit is in a slump

[suzzer99]

Nice AB Cain. It feels like no one's thrown us a fastball in weeks. Just slop after slop.

[penbrook]

Hammel needs to be cut

[penbrook]

Hosmer looking like Willie Mays

[suzzer99]

Hos showing off for his buddy.

[penbrook]

Salvy with the cannon on Dyson!

Perez guns down Dyson!

Nice

[DaneMcCloud]

Hammel needs to be cut

You're an epic dipshit

[penbrook]

You're an epic dipshit

He's our worst starting pitcher

[penbrook]

Ugh!! 2 hard hit balls

[tk13]

Smashing line drives right to the outfielders.

[Why Not?]

Ugh!! 2 hard hit balls

Starting to feel like Paxton is going to have a no hit shot. Those balls were smoked and nothing.

[penbrook]

Starting to feel like Paxton is going to have a no hit shot. Those balls were smoked and nothing.

If he gets through 6 and no hits. We should be worried

[Why Not?]

If he gets through 6 and no hits. We should be worried

I'm worried now. Our 3 lefties are screwed(not because of them but because of how good Paxton is), Boni is in rookie regression. Salvy in 2nd half regression. Cain not up again until the 7th(in hypothetical no hit scenario). Gonna need Esky or Whit or Melk.

[Great Expectations]

Salvy needs some moar off days.

[Why Not?]

Line drives all day and nothing. Can't even be pissed. Royals doing their job. Special night brewing for Paxton. Need to work some counts and hope for Royals like late comeback.

[penbrook]

Paxton has 21 consecutive scoreless innings

[Why Not?]

There's one! Looks like Cano could have laid out for it.

[penbrook]

Moose breaks it up!!

[Great Expectations]

Take that Why Not!

[Why Not?]

Big tip of the cap to GMDM for getting Melky right before Boni fell off a cliff

[Why Not?]

Take that Why Not!

Lol.

[penbrook]

Moss please do something here

[mr. tegu]

Nice.

[Al Bundy]

There you go Moss!

[Great Expectations]

Moss and Moose!

[Munson]

Moss please do something here

He hit a nice little blooper for you.

[Why Not?]

I'm worried now. Our 3 lefties are screwed(not because of them but because of how good Paxton is)

Nice call, jack wagon!

[penbrook]

MOSS!! Fuck you Paxton and your 21 inning scoreless streak

[Why Not?]

Yankees suck but Brewers doing work for us

[lewdog]

Drank a few beers with some guys I didn't know.

Got home and we scored.

Yeeeeehawwww!!!!

[Great Expectations]

Does Ned let Hammel face them the third time thru?

[Best22]

Rays are down 2-0

Moss is heating up

[lewdog]

Does Ned let Hammel face them the third time thru?

You know this answer.

It's very easy.

[Why Not?]

Does Ned let Hammel face them the third time thru?

Needs to. Pudgy overratedHill and Kennedy have screwed the bullpen lately. Need as close to 7 from Hammel as he can get

[Great Expectations]

You know this answer.

It's very easy.

I keep hoping against hope that he will see the light in these types of situations.

[penbrook]

Id pull Hammel

[cabletech94]

so here's an honest question:

would you DO jan, the toyota girl?

asking for a friend.

[Munson]

Great double play!

[Great Expectations]

Needs to. Pudgy overratedHill and Kennedy have screwed the bullpen lately. Need as close to 7 from Hammel as he can get

Hammel doesn't do so well the third time thru.

[tk13]

We'll take that double play.

[Why Not?]

Hammel doesn't do so well the third time thru.

Not at all but Alexander and Minor look gassed

[Why Not?]

Hosmer sucks at defense.

[penbrook]

HOSMER!!

[Buehler445]

Good D there with Eskie and Hoz

[cabletech94]

Hosmer sucks at defense.

ha ha ha ha!!! yes!!!

[RealSNR]

Keep fucking doubting Jason Hammel, bitches

[Why Not?]

Time for the top to do some work here

[penbrook]

Keep ****ing doubting Jason Hammel, bitches

I'll admit I was wrong

[tk13]

I'll say this, it seems like Hammel is usually pretty efficient.

I don't know if the stats actually prove that, but it seems like every game we're sitting here in the 6th inning and he's only at 70-80 pitches, so you're forced to have the conversation about leaving him in.

[Why Not?]

Attta boy!

[penbrook]

WHIT!!

[penbrook]

Whit is a doubles machine

[Why Not?]

This. Which makes it hard to pull him. We need guys to go 6 plus.

[penbrook]

Great hit Cain!!

[Why Not?]

As bad as my "our lefties will suck" prediction was......

[lewdog]

All aboard this fucking train!!!!

And his era the third time through is around 9 while giving up an ops over .900

[cabletech94]

paxton is unraveling before our eyes.....

[duncan_idaho]

I think this lineup is really poised to do good things with Merrifield and Cain hitting 1-2. Bonifacio gave them a good run out of that 2 hole, but his contact problems limited some opportunities for the offense.

That's doesn't give it justice. You may go all season and not see anyone else that ballsy on a "wild pitch"

[lewdog]

Whit's baseball IQ is highest on the team.

No joke.

[penbrook]

Whit is a god!!

[big nasty kcnut]

Whit is magical.

Hey Billay.

Fuck no.

Pull him!

[RealSNR]

If Hammel escapes this inning with no runs, Ned BETTER NOT FUCKING go to Soria.

I will put an axe through my TV if I see that shitty pile of crap walk on the field.

[Why Not?]

We OK with Hammel pitching the 7th?

Yes. The past few weeks has been

Duffy
Hammel


Vargas








Every other jackalope we've run out there.


Hammel deserves a shot to go 7. One more base runner then you pull him

[suzzer99]

That Whit run home was a good example of why should be aggressive. He was out with a good play - but the *pitcher* had to make a perfect running catch and tag. You always have to like your chances there.

[Buehler445]

Why did salvy go out?

[Al Bundy]

Nedgar with the fuck up. Hammel shoulda been outta there to start the 7th.

[penbrook]

This is why you don't let Hammel fucking start!! I hate Yost so much

[siberian khatru]

If all you're good for is defense and you can't play it lately.....

[tk13]

Wonder if Gordon has an outside shot of catching that ball.

[Spott]

Why did Ned even put Hammel back in there. There's no way he can pitch that many innings.

[penbrook]

We need Wak to manage. He knew how to manage the pen last nigjt

[Best22]

Rays lost

[Why Not?]

Not going to knock Hammel or Ned. I do think that's an out if Gordon is out there. Butters couldn't get it anywhere close on a guy with 1 SB.

[lewdog]

If this game is 3-1, fine, keep Hammel in for this inning.

Leading by 1, there is no way he should be in there.

[penbrook]

Wonder if Gordon has an outside shot of catching that ball.

Depends on if he would of been positioned differently than Melky

[tk13]

Yeah I actually think Hammel did alright. The first base hit was a dribbler. The defense was not positioned in the right spot. He's actually pitched pretty well the last couple outings.

[Why Not?]

You guys, the bullpen has been taxed lately. You want to be pissed at somebody, be pissed at fuckboi Kennedy or the chubby neighborhood kid who is our new 5th starter. Can't even go 5 innings this week

[Discuss Thrower]

Hey Billay.

Salvy's injury.

He's on my fantasy team and I'm not quite out of the playoffs but pretty much skating on ice that's as thin as GoChiefs' hairline.

[penbrook]

Fuck!!

[Why Not?]

Buchter is no prize, I'll tell you that much.

[Munson]

Bullpen immediately gives up the lead. :cuss:

[tk13]

Then again, it's not like our bullpen has been lights out the last few days either. Feels like just about everyone has had a hiccup.

[lewdog]

Salvy's injury.

ROFL

[lewdog]

Fuck every one of our pitchers lately.

That is the answer.

[Al Bundy]

That might be the ballgame. Fuck. Buchter putting gas on the small camp fire.

[Why Not?]

**** every one of our pitchers lately.

That is the answer.

Basically this. Other than Duffy and Hammel and Moylan. The rest can get fucked.

[Why Not?]

Oh and how many times this season has our pitching staff immediately shit itself after we tied or took a lead.

[penbrook]

That might be the ballgame. ****. Buchter putting gas on the small camp fire.

Royals are one of the best teams at comeback wins. Relax

[Ron Swanson]

This guy blows.

[penbrook]

I just laugh. This is pathetic

[Why Not?]

This ain't the '14 or '15 Royals, that's for damn sure.

[Al Bundy]

Buchter.... yuck. Looks like that trade garnered the Royals nothing. Gave up shit pitching for shit pitching.

That's a shitty fucking hit.

Well there's 1 easy out

[suzzer99]

Yeah can't blame Ned for sticking with Hammel the way he was pitching.

[TLO]

Well that's gonna score a run. Fml. :facepalm:

[TLO]

So 5-2. We can comeback from that, right?

[lewdog]

Yeah can't blame Ned for sticking with Hammel the way he was pitching.

Well clearly it wouldn't have mattered at this point either with the pen tonight.

[Buehler445]

Looks like the Padres rejects weren't "in it to win it" tonight.

No energy whatsoever.

Imperative to not let it get worse than that. We're not sweeping all 10 from them so being 6 out when we play them doesn't do a whole lot.

Why did Yost start the 7th with Hammel???

[Why Not?]

Salvy getting an MRI. KC media guys sounding like they are concerned. I don't. Know how to embed or link things but you should be able to look at Rustin Dodd's twitter. At best, I'm guessing he's done for the weekend. Gonna need Backstreet Butera to somehow play at an MLB level

One of the following

Rays
Royals
Mariners
Angels
Orioles

Is going to get hot and win 86-87. Could be KC. Or KC could win 78. Depends on what direction they are streaking in September. Royals are literally a wild card. They could sneak in and win the WS or they could have a 12-18 September or something. No way to tell. Just gotta hope
