Royals VS Mariners Double Header Game 1 GDT 8-6

[Al Bundy]

Let's go Royals.

[Reerun_KC]

In for two!

[mr. tegu]

Today could be very good for us. Maybe the off day yesterday will get rid of the offensive stink.

[big nasty kcnut]

In it to win it!

[CaliforniaChief]

Huge swing opportunity today that could leave us in fantastic shape or in the middle of 3 teams for the last WC spot. Go Royals!

[penbrook]

Junis pitching game 2 more than likely to Gallagher

[KChiefs1]

Need to sweep today.

[penbrook]

Need to sweep today.

It'll be hard since Junis is pitching game 2 and Gallagher is catching

[Deberg_1990]

Butera's time to shine!

[lewdog]

Any more rain predicted today?

[Bearcat]

At least 18 innings, lots to complain about today.

[penbrook]

Game

[Munson]

That wasn't good.

[Ron Swanson]

fuck you Valencia

[lewdog]

Fucking great. Wow.

[Deberg_1990]

Bad Duffy

:facepalm:

[Al Bundy]

Crowd is already dead.

[Munson]

Duffy getting smoked.

[Ron Swanson]

wtf Duffy, awful

[Al Bundy]

Hmmm

[cabletech94]

doom and gloom.

[Al Bundy]

Well, this offense has to score 4 runs in 1 game.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

At least Jake Junis is pitching the second game....

[petegz28]

Duffy blows the game before getting 3 outs..nice

[teedubya]

Salvy being out, is demoralizing... and Salvy handles the pitchers way better... these next 2 weeks are going to be a challenge.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

How many pitches do we see in the inning, 8? 9?

[ChiTown]

Easy boys. Duffy will settle down, and we'll get to this kid in a couple innings.

[penbrook]

Cain just missed that

[penbrook]

Easy boys. Duffy will settle down, and we'll get to this kid in a couple innings.

Uh huh

[Coach]

Merrifield and Hosmer got fooled pretty good.

[dlphg9]

Great start to the game.

[ChiTown]

Uh huh

Well, you're always welcome to do us all a solid and go play in traffic. :shrug:

[Best22]

I can understand not getting to Jimenez. Or Bundy.

But they better get this guy

[penbrook]

Well, you're always welcome to do us all a solid and go play in traffic. :shrug:

I do. Almost been hit 3 times

[ChiTown]

Oh, my........

[mr. tegu]

Duffy was a little late there.

[penbrook]

Duffy can't give up any more runs

[Why Not?]

I can understand not getting to Jimenez. Or Bundy.

But they better get this guy

Unknown scrubs have been Royals kryptonite for years

[Ron Swanson]

Nice hustle Drew.

[TLO]

Fuck you Butera

[penbrook]

Butera is straight ass

[penbrook]

I'm all for cutting Butera. Just jogging his happy ass over there

[Why Not?]

I'm all for cutting Butera. Just jogging his happy ass over there

Yep. He has completely destroyed any goodwill he has built up the past few years. Fuck him.

[tk13]

It's not your day when that happens. Had the out but the ball bounces off the ump's shin guard and scores a run.

[mr. tegu]

Well if we don't get back in this by the fifth inning Ned won't have any option except to wave the white flag and have a long reliever finish the game.

[penbrook]

Hahahahaha

[TLO]

Jesus fuck

[Ron Swanson]

Complete meltdown, fucking pathetic

[KCCHIEFS27]

Well if we don't get back in this by the fifth inning Ned won't have any option except to wave the white flag and have a long reliever finish the game.

Position player

[penbrook]

Hos this is your fault

[tk13]

And there you go. That fell apart quick.

[Dartgod]

Just lose them all. Make me quit caring.

[DaneMcCloud]

The Royals looking sharp today

[Al Bundy]

Uhhmm.. the Royals have to score 8 runs.

[Molitoth]

I hate this team the past week. Dayton goes out and gets you players, and they decide to not give a shit.

[Why Not?]

Easy boys. Duffy will settle down, and we'll get to this kid in a couple innings.

I hope you did not wager $ on this prediction

[mr. tegu]

We single handedly have kept two average at best teams in the playoff hunt this week. And Seattle will in all likelihood pass us today.

[Deberg_1990]

Duffy is a complete head case at times

[KCCHIEFS27]

It's not your day when that happens. Had the out but the ball bounces off the ump's shin guard and scores a run.

From second base

[CasselGotPeedOn]

8 runs to win. We may not score 8 total runs the rest of the season.

[petegz28]

So the guy who should have been called out on strikes, and should have been picked off scores on a strike out that should have ended the inning....just fucking WOW!

[lewdog]

So much for a good day of baseball.

[penbrook]

In all seriousness we're just a .500 team

[GloryDayz]

Procure, procure, procure...

[petegz28]

bright side...Tribe losing 4-1

[ChiTown]

I hope you did not wager $ on this prediction

Just trying to be positive. It was 1 inning of baseball. Now, it's fucked up, but whatever, it'll still be on my TV today.......

[Ron Swanson]

It's not your day when that happens. Had the out but the ball bounces off the ump's shin guard and scores a run.

If Butera actually sprinted to get the ball he probably could have made the out at 1st, but instead he just jogs over there like it's no big deal.

[petegz28]

I didn't get to see the play but it sounded like Butera and Hosmer both had their head in their ass on their respective plays

[penbrook]

bright side...Tribe losing 4-1

We could be gaining ground but nope Butera wants to be a lazy fuck. Hos wants to make mental mistakes

[penbrook]

Hopefully Gallagher shows something the second game

[mr. tegu]

bright side...Tribe losing 4-1

I am getting less and less convinced that it matters.

[Al Bundy]

If Butera actually sprinted to get the ball he probably could have made the out at 1st, but instead he just jogs over there like it's no big deal.

THIS.... Butera loafed on that play.

[Why Not?]

I didn't get to see some of this week but it sounded like Butera and Hosmer both had their head in their ass most of the week

Fixed

[mr. tegu]

It wasn't Hosmer's fault. Duffy was just getting to bag when Hosmer caught it. He didn't know Duffy was there.

[penbrook]

We will get no hit. I'm convinced

[Bearcat]

I am getting less and less convinced that it matters.

It doesn't, good baseball teams don't slump.

[GloryDayz]

http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BsoSezzCAAExDb9.jpg

[Munson]

WTF. I step away for 20 minutes and Duffy gives up 4 more runs.

At least Cleveland is trailing by 4 runs at the moment.

[GloryDayz]

WTF. I step away for 20 minutes and Duffy gives up 4 more runs.

It's not your fault for stepping away. But don't do it again!

[siberian khatru]

Help us, Jake Junis, you're our only hope

[Discuss Thrower]

Rrrrrrrraaaaallyyyyyyy Maaaaaaaaaantisssssss

[Al Bundy]

Eat shit Butera.

[Munson]

Whit!

[Al Bundy]

wHit!

[GloryDayz]

Purchase Purchase Purchase...

[penbrook]

Fucking Hos

[GloryDayz]

Clearly the Mariners' grind was interrupted.

[GloryDayz]

Man, after the rain, that grass look great!

[Best22]

Ump must be a mariner fan

[penbrook]

Come on Esky! 3 run bomb here

[GloryDayz]

It doesn't, good baseball teams don't slump.

Sure they do. Just not as often, as completely, or for as long as our beloved Royals have this year.

[penbrook]

That was ball 3!!

[penbrook]

Gordon base hit here

[tk13]

It'd be a good time for Gordon to run into one.

[penbrook]

Fuck!!!

[GloryDayz]

Ugh, so close.

[Deberg_1990]

Gordon....

Killing Royals lineups since 2016

[Al Bundy]

Gordon is so slow.

[Bearcat]

Sure they do. Just not as often, as completely, or for as long as our beloved Royals have this year.

Yeah, the 2015 Royals didn't lose 8 of 10 a couple of times or go 11-17 in September... never happened. (and we're only talking 3-5 in the past few series right now)

[tk13]

I can't believe they haven't named George Brett for this trivia question. He had like 600+ doubles. He has to be on there

Or maybe they have and I missed it.

[GloryDayz]

Yeah, the 2015 Royals didn't lose 8 of 10 a couple of times or go 11-17 in September... never happened. (and we're only talking 3-5 in the past few series right now)

I think we can bot agree that we'd like to forget April or 2017. Yes? But it's a long season, plenty of time to right the ship IMO.

[penbrook]

Cain is heating up!!

[Bearcat]

I think we can bot agree that we'd like to forget April or 2017. Yes? But it's a long season, plenty of time to right the ship IMO.

I was probably busy watching hockey, so, yes. Done.

[penbrook]

Never say die Royals!!

[tk13]

Pitcher going to get yanked before 5 in a game where you were up by 7.

[tk13]

That works. Let's at least sac fly this other run in, get back in the game.

[Discuss Thrower]

That's a ribby

[penbrook]

That works!!

[Ron Swanson]

I don't know why, but the term professional hitter irritates me.

[Deberg_1990]

I don't know why, but the term professional hitter irritates me.

What's a non professional hitter?

[Chiefspants]

What's a non professional hitter?

Angel Berroa comes to mind.

[penbrook]

What's a non professional hitter?

Butera

[penbrook]

What's a non professional hitter?

If we don't come back and still lose, Penbrook stays.

If we come back and win, Penbrook is booted for all of August.

Outside of the, "This is a .500 team" comment early on, he's been less douchey than his normal douche self.

[penbrook]

The .500 team is true though. Look at the record.

[penbrook]

Moylan straight nails!

[lewdog]

The .500 team is true though. Look at the record.

So we should have sold and not made trades?

[Ron Swanson]

Moylan does great in the cleanup role, but I would rather see him in the 8th setting up Herrera.

[penbrook]

Moylan has trouble vs lefties. He's a matchup speacialist

[Bearcat]

Outside of the, "This is a .500 team" comment early on, he's been less douchey than his normal douche self.

It's hard to care about trolling in these threads when the "real fans" call 'game' in the 2nd inning any time the Royals go down by a few runs.... or one run.... or give up a couple of hits..... or give up a hit.

[lewdog]

Moylan does great in the cleanup role, but I would rather see him in the 8th setting up Herrera.

Disagree.

Moylan needs to be the fireman. Comes in with guys on base and highest leverage situations. He doesn't seem rattled. Use Minor as one to start a clean inning like the 8th.

[Ron Swanson]

Moylan has trouble vs lefties. He's a matchup speacialist

Soria struggles against everyone in high leverage situations, I'd rather see Moylan.

[penbrook]

We will get em next inning

[GloryDayz]

I was probably busy watching hockey, so, yes. Done.

Hey, a fellow hockey fan, I like that. I'm one of the coaches on the younger kid's team. And yeah, there's nothing quite like it.

[penbrook]

Well our bullpen sucks

[Why Not?]

in before someone tells us how great Scott Alexander is.

[Ron Swanson]

right down the middle, shit pitch

[Discuss Thrower]

ROIDS.

[tk13]

That was a bomb.

[GloryDayz]

That right the was just an opportunity for our bats to show we can come back from an even deeper deficit.

[penbrook]

Yost this is where you pull him

[penbrook]

Butera I hope you get cut

[Why Not?]

Bahahahahah. Woooooo.

[mr. tegu]

Alexander really needs to stop pitching in close games.

[Chiefspants]

Butera is great.

[GloryDayz]

Yost this is where you pull him

Or not.

[penbrook]

I hope this Gallagher guy hits his first home run next game just so Butera can get cut

[Why Not?]

Alexander really needs to stop pitching in close games.

I've been saying this for weeks. Everybody keeps pointing to numbers he amassed in fucking May. The dude belongs nowhere near a non blow out game at this time of the year. Almost everytime he has pitched in a close game the past few weeks, he unfortunately has made me look good

[lewdog]

Butera at least used to be a good defensive replacement.

Can't even say that anymore.

[GloryDayz]

Butera is great.

He'll be fine.

[Why Not?]

Add another passed ball to Butters

[penbrook]

How many pass balls does Butera have this year?

[lewdog]

Add another passed ball to Butters

He is literally shit.

I am burning my Butera jersey as we speak.

[LoneWolf]

How many pass balls does Butera have this year?

Before this game, one.

[Why Not?]

He is literally shit.

I am burning my Butera jersey as we speak.

Bahahahahahahaha


Wait.....you have(had)a Butera jersey?

[ChiliConCarnage]

Did they say Seattle has TWENTY blown saves this year? Damn..

[Bearcat]

He is literally shit.

I am burning my Butera jersey as we speak.

I'm burning my William Rose painting, nothing matters anymore.

[KChiefs1]

Ned has to reevaluate his bullpen.

[penbrook]

right down the middle, shit pitch

Did they say Seattle has TWENTY blown saves this year? Damn..

Yep they lead the league

[lewdog]

I'm getting the TV out by the pool for the second game.

This feels like a painful day. I need something nice.

[Why Not?]

Juts got out of the pool. Great swimming day.

[lewdog]

Juts got out of the pool. Great swimming day.

We need a Royals pool party soon. I mean, why haven't we done it yet?

You seem to be watching more games this year. Are your boys watching with you?

[Why Not?]

Basically our last shot. Unless you believe in the rally starting ability of Alex Gordon and Butters

[Why Not?]

We need a Royals pool party soon. I mean, why haven't we done it yet?

You seem to be watching more games this year. Are your boys watching with you?

We really do. Yeah they have gotten way more into baseball. They won't necessarily sit and watch a straight 9 but they will come in and out and always watch AB's by Moose, Salvy and Goldy during Dbacks games

[penbrook]

Melk man starts it out

[ChiefsCountry]

MOOSEDONG!!!!!

[penbrook]

MOOSE!!!

[Why Not?]

Woooohooooo

[penbrook]

1 run game bitches!

[lewdog]

This is IT!!!!

[Bearcat]

No need to watch now, game was over in the 2nd inning.

[penbrook]

Now we rely on the bottom of the order

[Ron Swanson]

I wish Gore was still on the roster.

[penbrook]

Boni with a walk!

[Why Not?]

Good AB Boni

[penbrook]

I wish Gore was still on the roster.

Is Torres fast enough?

[Why Not?]

I wouldn't mind bunting him over here. Gives us a shot at miracle hit by Gordon or Butters and it garuntees 1-2-3 hitters in 9

[penbrook]

If they was ever a time for Gordon to come through

[KChiefs1]

Here's where we need a professional hitter.

[penbrook]

Up to you Butters.... Don't fuck this up!!

[ChiliConCarnage]

poop

[Ron Swanson]

Gordon sucks so bad.

[penbrook]

Moss!!

[Why Not?]

Gordon sucks so bad.

He's unplayable

[KChiefs1]

HR or K.

[penbrook]

Ugh...

[ChiefsCountry]

The bullshit National League style of bunting a guy over is so fucking stupid. You waste an out.

[Why Not?]

that's fine. Got close and got through the automatic outs portion of the order. Whit-Cain-Slumpsmer in the 9th. That's the best most realistic outcome we could have hoped for

[penbrook]

Hos will walk it off

[Jerok]

I have a good feeling, players know they can do it and need to with CLE losing

[RealSNR]

Maurer's up? Well, looks like we're going to need more than 2 in the 9th to walk this off

[Why Not?]

I have a good feeling, players know they can do it and need to with CLE losing

We also have to hope Maurer doesn't shit himself which is unlikely

[Ron Swanson]

These Padres pitchers really suck.

[ChiTown]

Maurer blows

[TLO]

Mauer is shit

[ChiefsCountry]

I fucking hate that prick Valenica.

[Why Not?]

Zero chance of an overturn

[SAUTO]

He was safe

[KChiefs1]

He's unplayable


Yosted

[penbrook]

Can we have a bullpen that doesn't suck

[ChiefsCountry]

Can we have a bullpen that doesn't suck

Can penbrook not post.

[KChiefs1]

A strikeout would be good right now.

[penbrook]

Hmm...

[RealSNR]

Maurer has good stuff. He really does. Laser arm, good...

You know what... fuck it. This guy blows dicks.

[penbrook]

Just 1 more Maurer

[Why Not?]

Maurer has good stuff. He really does. Laser arm, good...

You know what... **** it. This guy blows dicks.

A bahaha

[Al Bundy]

The Mariners just pulled a Royals there.

[ChiTown]

That was handy:clap:

[ChiefsCountry]

Overreaction Planet at its finest again.

[SAUTO]

Way to rebound

[penbrook]

Maurer is nails!!

[kgrund]

6 inches was huge that inning.

[KChiefs1]

Can we have a bullpen that doesn't suck


That one run could cost us.

[RealSNR]

I think all it takes for these guys to play well is for all of us to bitch nonstop about how much they suck.

Except Gordon. His suck knows no bounds.

[SAUTO]

That price chopper commercial is hilarious, how many words do most people understand that sal says?

[Bearcat]

The bullshit National League style of bunting a guy over is so ****ing stupid. You waste an out.

Yep... outs are scarce. Glad Yost has changed his philosphy.

I see no correlation between the Royals' success and CP whining.

[mr. tegu]

Whit swung at ball four twice. Ugh.

[ChiTown]

That hurts

[penbrook]

Damn it Whit

[Ron Swanson]

Whit swung at ball four twice. Ugh.

He really Escobar'd his way out of a walk there.

[TLO]

AGH

[KChiefs1]

At least Cleveland lost.

[TLO]

Ballgame

[RealSNR]

I see no correlation between the Royals' success and CP whining.

See? If we had been bitching about Whit's hitting slump, he would have walked!

[ChiTown]

Come on, Hos!

[ChiTown]

There we go. The Melk MN needs to go yard

[penbrook]

Come on Melky!!

[Bearcat]

See? If we had been bitching about Whit's hitting slump, he would have walked!

:hmmm:

[penbrook]

Fuck!!

[ChiTown]

Poop.

Well, let's get game 2

[KChiefs1]

They act like they don't want in the playoffs.

[SAUTO]

Son of a bitch

[Best22]

Should have won. We got to their pitcher. If Duffy had just been his normal self it's a win

[SAUTO]

much better than thannon tharpe, sthop playin sthkip.

Oh for sure

[mikeyis4dcats.]

This gamee was lost on Hos shortcutting the throw to butters at first on a rundown. let that sink in

[Ron Swanson]

If nothing else, we made them use a lot of pitchers and appear to be out of the hitting slump.

[wazu]

Why did Duffy only get charged with 3 earned runs?

[Deberg_1990]

What a pisser

[Ron Swanson]

Why did Duffy only get charged with 3 earned runs?

They ruled it a passed ball on Butera.

[ChiefsCountry]

Why did Duffy only get charged with 3 earned runs?

Passed ball

[mr. tegu]

This gamee was lost on Hos shortcutting the throw to butters at first on a rundown. let that sink in

That's not what happened. Duffy was the one covering but he was late getting there. When Hos caught the ball Duffy was just getting in the screen. He had to catch it as he didn't know Duffy was there. This game really is all on Duffy for that mistake and his awful pitching after.

[wazu]

Didn't see the game. How does one passed ball allow 4 unearned runs?

[ChiefsCountry]

Didn't see the game. How does one passed ball allow 4 unearned runs?

Inning should have been over

[Al Bundy]

Oh well

[wazu]

Inning should have been over

Thanks. Found a clip of the play. Come on, Drew!

[Deberg_1990]

Inning should have been over

I get that.

But Duffy shouldn't have given up that 3 run dinger right after. This loss is all on him. 100%

[jimidollar]

Well, at the very least we get to see Moose break the team HR record. That's something.

[penbrook]

In other news we no longer hold a playoff spot

[carlos3652]

In other news we no longer hold a playoff spot

We dont? Who does? I don't see anyone with a better record percentage?
