****Official Royals vs. Indians 8/18/2017****

[cabletech94]

this is it!! the kid gloves are off!! it's time to go to work!! time to nut up or shut up!!


kennedy hasn't won a home game since 1919. Melky and Moose own Kluber (sp?). an immoveable object meets an unstoppable force. is this the game that we tell our grand-kids about? probably not, but if we win this tonight, it is a damn good start. lose and it might be time to eat paint chips.


GOOOOOOOOOOO
ROYALS!!!!!!!!

[penbrook]

And good news

Jared Sandler @SandlerJ
Shields has allowed 91 HR since 2015, most in MLB. Ian Kennedy's 86 HRA rank next closest.

Ned also said Soria has Grade 1 oblique strain. Likely 10-15 days.


Jeffrey Flanagan @FlannyMLB
Ned said Salvy Perez will take BP every day this weekend. If all goes well could be activated Tuesday.

Even better! :)

[penbrook]

I predict we will win 4-2 tonight

[tk13]

It's time to see what this team is made of... a bad series here really cripples our chance at the division. If you'd said we'd even be in this position back in May we probably would've taken it.

[TribalElder]

Is it beaker night?

[lewdog]

I am here tonight.

Painted all day like the true Mexican I am. Coincidence that Soria goes to DL the same day?

I think fucking not.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This should be an ass whoopin! / Hog Farmer

This !

[BlackHelicopters]

In before falling asleep. Straight from Cardiac ICU.

[penbrook]

Just no walks Kennedy

[penbrook]

Kennedy shows his true colors...

[BlackHelicopters]

Well. How about that shit Ian? Worthless arm.

[PHOG]

I'm surprised Lindor didn't belt one, throwing right down the middle.

[Jerok]

Just about to tell my wife how Kennedy's given up the 2nd most home runs.... now I don't need to say a word. Damn.

[Bearcat]

I am here tonight.

Painted all day like the true Mexican I am. Coincidence that Soria goes to DL the same day?

I think ****ing not.

Game's over, you can go back to the pool now.

[tk13]

He could have saved some arm strain by just walking up and putting that ball on a tee.

[BlackHelicopters]

Holy shit. Ian. Fucktard.

[Munson]

FUCK YOU, KENNEDY!!!!!! :cuss:

[penbrook]

I honestly wish Kennedy would accidentally fall in the shower

[eDave]

Well ain't that a bitch.

[tk13]

Just setting up the comeback.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

This should be an ass whoopin! / Hog Farmer

Jesus Christ !

[Jerok]

inb4 he has a strained something or other.

[ILChief]

Game

[Bearcat]

At least I started drinking early.

[Bearcat]

Diamondbacks are up 2-0!

And relevant to this thread, against the Twins.

[penbrook]

Don't worry guys he's ours for the next 2 years and our highest paid pitcher

[eDave]

Go Dbacks!

[BlackHelicopters]

Can't decide whether Ian is injured, uninterested , or a worthless POS. Could be all three.

[penbrook]

Can't decide whether Ian is injured, uninterested , or a worthless POS. Could be all three.

He's been worthless since 2015

[BlackHelicopters]

Nurse just replaced Morphine drip. Unreal.

[Dartgod]

I feel we're just getting started with having our shit pushed in repeatedly.

I had a glimmer of hope that Cleveland might be a little tight this series. Maybe there would be more pressure on them.

The early returns say I was wrong.

[penbrook]

Can Salvy pitch?

[KCCHIEFS27]

Just hold them to 5, Ian.

[ChiefsCountry]

Can Salvy pitch?

Shut the fuck up.

[lewdog]

Game's over, you can go back to the pool now.

I was painting all day. Haven't gotten in the pool. Making dinner and watching this shit.

FML.

[BlackHelicopters]

Blond on front row needs more anal sex.

[BlackHelicopters]

Shut the fuck up.

Heh

[thebrad84]

Can't decide whether Ian is injured, uninterested , or a worthless POS. Could be all three.

He's just not very good. He can't hit his spots consistently and misses up way too often

[petegz28]

Nothing says "we're in it" like being 5.5 games back at home and playing the 1st place team and your Pitcher gives up 2 jacks and 3 runs before you even come to bat....

[BlackHelicopters]

Game already over.

[RealSNR]

I blame penbrook.

[Munson]

Moss bomb!

[PHOG]

There's one. :clap:

[penbrook]

Esky was close

[PHOG]

That's alright Alex.

[penbrook]

Gordon might need to have a exorcism performed on him to let out the demons

[Great Expectations]

WTF is Kennedy doing as a starting pitcher in the AL?

How much do we have to increase his buyout to get him to opt out next year?

[cabletech94]

at least alex still plays defense.

[PHOG]

Got Alexander warming too late

[petegz28]

Kennedy making sure we have no chance at all.....

[penbrook]

Fuck you Kennedy!!

[lewdog]

Fuck this game.

And fuck you guys.

[penbrook]

Can't even go 2 innings! What a waste of space

[Ron Swanson]

Kennedy is another overpaid loser. Moore has really bombed the last two seasons.

[Munson]

We score 1 run, Kennedy immediately gives up 2 more.

What an asshole!

[KCUnited]

Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Hopefully Kennedy suffers a career ending injury soon.

[tk13]

6 innings with our bullpen with the way they've pitched lately could be an adventure.

[PHOG]

BP will be taxed the rest of the weekend, maybe they should have left him in, and take the pounding. :hmmm:

[TLO]

Well... GG Indians. Thanks for playing

[Best22]

12 of last 14 games, pitching failed to hold opponent to less than 4 run

No offense can consistently overcome that. If our offense wasn't on fire this month, we would be buried

[PHOG]

Where's Lee Harvey Oswald when you need him?
LMAO

[Al Bundy]

BP will be taxed the rest of the weekend, maybe they should have left him in, and take the pounding. :hmmm:

He should wear this one.He should have been forced to go 8.

[TLO]

He should wear this one.He should have been forced to go 8.

Well we need at least 5 runs at this point.
Who's pitching for the Tribe tonight?
Oh.. That's right.

Thanks Kenedy!

[cabletech94]

well, that wasn't any fun. screw you with a rusty screwdriver , kennedy.

[PHOG]

Well, here's hoping for a comeback. :toast: Laters

[Bearcat]

Twins tied it with an inside the parker.

[penbrook]

What a fucking shit show

[Pitt Gorilla]

Absolute garbage.

[petegz28]

well that sucked

[penbrook]

Hey our best pitcher is pitching

[mr. tegu]

Not happy with wasting Junis today.

[penbrook]

Why are we wasting our ace in a 5-1 game

[penbrook]

Kennedy that's how you do it! Take ****ing notes!!

[penbrook]

I'm done with Gordon

[petegz28]

JFC, Gordon...fastballs down the middle are pitches you need to be smashing, not consistently watching for strike 3

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus Gordon, at least take a swing at it.

[petegz28]

Not happy with wasting Junis today.

Ned going full Ned....I think they know the season is over

[thebrad84]

Couple quality AB's from Gordo tonight.

[kstater]

hope that's not a serious, yet 5-6 week injury


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

[penbrook]

Aww shit not Miller

[tk13]

Not happy with wasting Junis today.

Why? He probably isn't going to pitch again until next Friday.

[Dartgod]

Kluber hurt?

[Ron Swanson]

great call ump

[KChiefs1]

We need to concentrate on the WC...the division is gone.

[Jerok]

We need to concentrate on the WC...the division is gone.

Concentrate on the wildcard? What do you suggest the players do differently? How about we concentrate on winning as many games as we can.

Unless you think we should instead concentrate on the wildcard. Then maybe you want us to take it easy on the Indians and really put our effort into playing the Rays and Twins?

[thebrad84]

What a bullshit call for strike 2 there. Miller wasn't hitting his spots to deserve that. That's a complete change on that AB. Fuck you blue

[Why Not?]

I'm guessing he means we as in we, the fans. No matter, it's one and the same this weekend. Losing this series ends the Central and probably has us a couple back in the WC hodgepodge

Maybe something like taking a loss while saving your bullpen, instead of playing it like you need every single win.

I'm not on the team...are you? I've given up on the division but I still think this team can get the last WC spot.

[Discuss Thrower]

Meh. Must win next two games.

[Dartgod]

I'm not sure that the WC is in play anymore. This team is a mess.

[petegz28]

Game and most likely season....granted there is a lot of baseball to play...our pitching ain't cutting it

[Dartgod]

Why is Ned managing the bullpen like we still have a chance to win this thing?

[Bearcat]

Time to bring in the ficus tree.

[Three7s]

Game and most likely season....granted there is a lot of baseball to play...our pitching ain't cutting it
Yeah, pitching has been really disappointing for the last couple of weeks, even in the wins. This team is cooked.

[BWillie]

Ned using one of his better relievers down by 8. This is whereyou use those broke dick Padre jagoffs

But, its Ned. No Ned to be upset

[Ron Swanson]

His managing of the bullpen is clueless at best

[TLO]

Oh no we suck again!

[lewdog]

Sano just crushed one to put Twins up 6-3.

[Bearcat]

Sano just crushed one to put Twins up 6-3.

And now it's worse.

[Bearcat]

I'm never looking forward to sports again.

[RealSNR]

So hopefully Kennedy stays away for the next few starts while they figure out what's wrong with him.

[lewdog]

I'm never looking forward to sports again.

Seriously, the Royals always seem to have horrible Friday games. If they lose, they always lose big on Friday.

Or at least that's how my brain remembers.

[Dartgod]

I'm never looking forward to sports again.Pfffft.

3 years ago we made it to game 7 of the WS.

2 years ago we won the whole fucking thing.

5 years ago we were certain that none of the above would Ever happen.

I'm good no matter what.

[Why Not?]

At least our WC delusions love strong another day. Machado's 3rd homer of the game is a walk off granny

[ROYC75]

Just 1 game!

Comeback tomorrow and kick them in the nuts!

[Ron Swanson]

At least our WC delusions love strong another day. Machado's 3rd homer of the game is a walk off granny

No one wants that last WC spot, I could see that coming down to the last game with multiple teams still in it.

[Bearcat]

Pfffft.

Heh, don't need to tell me that... was just looking forward to sports after a long week, and it was a terrible failure..... and after one stupid beer, a slight headache started coming on.

If this keeps up, I might need to find something constructive to do this weekend. :(

[Why Not?]

No one wants that last WC spot, I could see that coming down to the last game with multiple teams still in it.

It's very realistic to think there could be a WC game to get to the WC game.

[Bowser]

Remember earlier today when the guys on the radio were saying how the Indians would be tired from playing 23 games in 23 days, and how them playing a double header yesterday only helped our chances?

Yeah, those were good times.

Whats wrong with Kennedy? Nothing. Hws just a fly ball pitcher and the MLB juiced the ball and fucked him in the ass

[Deberg_1990]

Classic Ian Kennedy ladies and gentlemen!

[KChiefs1]

82 wins might get it.

[KChiefs1]

That would be awesome.

[EPodolak]

Solid non-performance, all nine innings.

[Nickhead]

This should be an ass whoopin! / Hog Farmer

which team do you play for? :D

[jimidollar]

Pfffft.

3 years ago we made it to game 7 of the WS.

2 years ago we won the whole ****ing thing.

5 years ago we were certain that none of the above would Ever happen.

I'm good no matter what.

I'm with you.

[Molitoth]

Pfffft.

5 years ago we were certain that none of the above would Ever happen.

I'm good no matter what.

I think this is the mindset of the current team. They don't want it like they used to.
