I’m locking my son in his room so I can watch this in peace tonight.

I'm trying to convince people I know into going to the K last minute with me

ROFL

That’s exactly what happens with closed doors in my house!

When my kids were little and I'd close the door on them, they'd lose their shit. I was better off sending them to their rooms with the door open. It's called managing peace. :evil:

Benny up to the 2 hole!

[wazu]

I thought you said your record sucked as a thread starter?

What?! If cmh ends up fucking up Lynch's debut he needs thread starting privs permanently revoked.

[cmh6476]

We got this. I'm only like 1-2...

[SCTrojan]

Excited to see Lynch. It will be interesting to see how long they’ll let him go if it comes to that. I’d think something like 5 innings - 60-70 pitches.

[wazu]

We got this. I'm only like 1-2...

So you're personally responsible for 20% of our losses? Great.

[Coach]

Hoping Lynch can at least go 5IP (or more).

Can't do worse than Keller, at least I'm hoping for that.

[Coach]

Nice snag Dyson.

[siberian khatru]

Nice snag Dyson.

That’s what speed do

[srvy]

Damn the Lynch kid takes no backseat in the ears department to Hochevar. He ever learns to flap those he will fly!

[WhawhaWhat]

Hopefully Lynch calms down next inning or this is going to be a short outing.

[PHOG]

Go take a seat and calm down.

[BWillie]

Yikes, Lynch was terrible in the first inning. 2 walks and everyone that hit him hit him hard. Just lucky it was right at the outfielders. That is as lucky as you can get.

[SCTrojan]

A bit of a struggle for him. The Indians look like they are right on his fastball.

[PHOG]

It's nice to see Benintendi figuring out his early struggles.

First big league start Id give a pass and hope he settles down.

[Coach]

Aw fuck, Sal missed that hanger.

[wazu]

First big league start Id give a pass and hope he settles down.

Agreed. Let's see if he calms down how it looks.

[siberian khatru]

They are tattooing Lynch

[Coach]

GOT HIM.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

That slider is nasty

[siberian khatru]

Then he makes Naylor look foolish

[wazu]

That slider is nasty

Yes more of that, please.

[wazu]

Feels like a ton of drama.

[kstater]

That’s the right call.

[wazu]

He's already registered basically every pitching stat you can have.

[wazu]

If he hits this guy I think it's the only thing left on his stat sheet but a W.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Much better 2nd inning

[Coach]

That a way Daniel. Way to hang in there.

[siberian khatru]

Good recovery, kid

[kstater]

Call it a hunch, I don’t think he’s gonna be the pitcher of record. But that’s ok. Get the jitters out now.

[ChiTown]

Atta kid!

[PHOG]

Nice, he's settling down now.

[SCTrojan]

Much better 2nd inning

Absolutely

[Coach]

Middle's open!

[Coach]

Nice AB by Lopez after being in the 0-2 hole.

[Coach]

Fuck.

[Pablo]

Shit whit.

[SCTrojan]

Whit has been scuffling

[siberian khatru]

Get the kid some runs

[SCTrojan]

Much, much better third inning even with the leadoff walk.

[cmh6476]

Get the kid some runs

This

[PHOG]

His pitch count is back to reasonable too.

[wazu]

C'mon Salvy. Help your pitcher out.

[Coach]

Would be nice to cash in some runs here....

[Coach]

Eh, not the worst thing to happen. It'll do.

[Coach]

That'll do Soler. That'll do.

[cmh6476]

Soler power

[wazu]

I'll take it.

[Chiefspants]

On the board.

[SupDock]

What was that umpire doing

[cmh6476]

What was that umpire doing

Being a jackass

[Coach]

GD it....

[PHOG]

He nailed it.

[Coach]

Nice job Daniel. Way to hang tough.

[SCTrojan]

He’s battling

[Coach]

That a way Dozier!

[SCTrojan]

Yeah, Dozier!

[Coach]

Damn. That was hard hit by Dyson, just first baseman made a nice grab.

[wazu]

Damn it

[PHOG]

There ya go Dozier!

[KChiefs1]

Whit Power!!!!!

[petegz28]

Gonna waste a leadoff triple.....

[siberian khatru]

WHIT

[petegz28]

Gonna waste a leadoff triple.....

or not!!!

[SCTrojan]

Way to pick the team up!

[Coach]

WHIT!

[IowaHawkeyeChief]

Whit!

[PHOG]

Whit! Boom!

[cmh6476]

There we go.

I wonder what kind of pitch count they feel he's worked up to are the training site.

[smithandrew051]

The Kansas City Royals are my favorite professional baseball team

[Coach]

GOT HIM!

[CasselGotPeedOn]

The Kansas City Royals are my favorite professional baseball team

What a coincidence, mine too!

[PHOG]

He's sitting on 62 pitches right now

[Coach]

Ouch.

Edit: Come on Whit....

[wazu]

Great moment.

[siberian khatru]

Well, damn

[SPchief]

I'll take it

[cmh6476]

Dang, 1 more out would have been nice

[kstater]

Those are always fun to watch

[siberian khatru]

Should’ve gotten out of the inning on a DP grounder

[Coach]

Dang, 1 more out would have been nice

Would had gotten out of the inning if Whit would had at least throw a clean one to Santana.

[Chiefspants]

Whit makes the turn and he’s in line for the win. Ah well. It’s the right call.

[KChiefs1]

Ouch.

Edit: Come on Whit....


Cost that poor boy a win.

[SCTrojan]

Dang, 1 more out would have been nice

Whit just sailed the throw. So close.

[PHOG]

Just one away, damn. Oh well, nice job.

[wazu]

Fuck.

[siberian khatru]

Salvy is just awful at blocking pitches

[KChiefs1]

Way to go Barlow you fucking hippie.

[Chiefspants]

Salvy is just awful at blocking pitches

Yeah. He’s let some get by this year.

[petegz28]

well fuck...whit giveth and whit taketh

[Ron Swanson]

Whit is sucking at 2nd this year.

[Chiefspants]

well ****...whit giveth and whit taketh

Whit has had that kind of start to the year.

[petegz28]

WTF Ump?

[cmh6476]

What happened to trying to speed up mlb games?

[Chiefspants]

If either Whit makes the throw or Sal blocks that ball the Royals still have the lead. The D has had a few lapses like that this year.

[SCTrojan]

Wonder if they’ll move Lopez to second whenever Mondesi gets back. Whit has not been lights out on defense

[siberian khatru]

Uh-oh

[kstater]

Fuck

[SCTrojan]

Barlow had his share of the blame for those two runs. He bounced that curve ball that moved the runners up. Then he serves up a nothing slider that Reyes clocked.

[PHOG]

First 1-2-3 of the night. Now get moar runs!

[Coach]

What happened to trying to speed up mlb games?

Well walks and errors are part of the reason of the lag. A lot of full-counts too.

[Chiefspants]

Would be a good time to atone, Whit.

[petegz28]

Ump has been inconsistent

[Coach]

Nice AB Merrifield.

Come on Benni.

[Coach]

FUCK

[petegz28]

Way to take a pitch...JFC! The guy in front of you just walked....



Never fucking fails...bases loaded and you swing at the first fucking pitch you see....:facepalm:

[Ron Swanson]

Unfortunately, it feels like they're gonna piss away a win tonight.

[Chiefspants]

Frustrating. We’re tied and it’s completely self inflicted due to miscues on D and missed chances on offense.

[Coach]

"Shoe box strike zone".

[lewdog]

"Shoe box strike zone".

That's the perfect description.

[Coach]

Welp.

[Ron Swanson]

This umpire is a real piece of shit.

[Chiefspants]

****. Frustrating game all around.

[KChiefs1]

Frustrating. We’re tied and it’s completely self inflicted due to miscues on D and missed chances on offense.


Yep

[srvy]

Fucking Junis

[petegz28]

well that was fun for a bit....

[TLO]

Is it a requirement to have a shitty neck tattoo to play for the Indians?

[TLO]

Goodnight all. Get em tomorrow

[srvy]

Pull the bum

[lewdog]

Junis sucks.

[petegz28]

WTF is Junis pitching in relief anyway???


Well, that's the ball game....

[Ron Swanson]

Great work Junis.

[carcosa]

Woof.

[PHOG]

Not in the cards tonight I guess.

[wazu]

Permaban the OP.

[Coach]

Offense still takes some of the blame. Have to get at least 2 runs on a 2 out-bases loaded situation in two tries.

Except in both tries, netted 0.

[DJJasonp]

Someone on the Indians needs to get plunked (for Salvy and the slow HR trots)

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Just now tuned into the game. Yeesh.

Two things:

CMH no longer allowed to start gameday threads.

Move Junis back to the starting rotation. Apparently he sucks out of the bullpen.

[Coach]

O'Hearn just fucking blows.

[Ron Swanson]

Way to swing at ball four, dipshit.

[smithandrew051]

Big Dick Dozier!!!

[PHOG]

Hello, Dozier!

[Coach]

Nice job Dozier.

[Why Not?]

This one ain't over yet, boys.

[smithandrew051]

I don’t understand this strike zone

[Ron Swanson]

Now that asshole calls a strike.

[PHOG]

I don’t understand this strike zone
Apparently nobody else does either.

[cmh6476]

Permaban the OP.

It ain't over

[cmh6476]

Gmafb

Permanent this asshole ump

[ROYC75]

How did Lynch look?

[Coach]

Jeez, this home plate ump isn't very good.

Ray Charles could ump this game better than this stooge.

[Coach]

How did Lynch look?

A little anxious, but settled down nicely. Walked too many guys, but limited the damage though.

His defense let him down though.

[ROYC75]

Thanks, had Little League tonight, was so busy with the scorebook I couldn't watch.

[ROYC75]

RALLY TIME!

[Coach]

That took a funny hop.

[tk13]

Hard to butcher a ground ball more than that.

[ChiefsCountry]

Time for Santana to put one in right field.

[Coach]

Time for Santana to put one in right field.

Nope. He got eliminated by Vaughn's eliminator.

[KChiefs1]

It ain't over


Not looking good for your thread starting abilities.

[ChiefsCountry]

Nope. He got eliminated by Vaughn's eliminator.

Nice using the Major League reference.

[J Diddy]

Nope. He got eliminated by Vaughn's eliminator.I believe it was renamed the masturbator.

[tk13]

Clase is still scary. His slow pitches are 92.

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck you ump

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Get ‘em tomorrow night, boys.

And someone other than cmh please start the game thread . . . . . thanks in advance.

[cmh6476]

It's one thing to be bad at calling balls and strikes. It's another to be completely incompetent with your inconsistency

[cmh6476]

Get ‘em tomorrow night, boys.

And someone other than cmh please start the game thread . . . . . thanks in advance.

Yep, I give

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Yep, I give

Nothing personal. You were just doing your job.

But you’ve kind of been like the Brad Keller of the rotation this year.

Time to let someone else have your spot . . . . . .

[J Diddy]

Ok, so how are you watching the games? I had success with my mlb tv subscription and a vpn until lately. Now all I'm getting is network error


I've swiched between a couple of vpn's but to no avail. Suggestions?

[ChiefsCountry]

Get ‘em tomorrow night, boys.

And someone other than cmh please start the game thread . . . . . thanks in advance.

I'll try to come in and be Duffy this year and save the game thread. Actually was coming on to start it and it got beat to the punch.

[cmh6476]

I got self to sign a forever contact with the ku thread this year, even though they didn't get far. Maybe my mojo will make lynch a forever stud with the royals :shrug:
