I think I’d rather work than watch the royals at this point.

[KCUnited]

These ladies are prone to blood clots and Detroit is the Johnson & Johnson vaccine they need to survive

[redfan]

Maybe a noon game will get ‘em off the schneid. LGR

Yip.

[Bearcat]

Thought that was going in a different direction for a second.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Looking forward to seeing how Lynch rebounds after last week's disaster.

[bringbackmarty]

Anything different than last week is an improvement.

[GloryDayz]

Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals, Let's go Royals....

[Mama Hip Rockets]

If they can't score against a pitcher named "Spencer," I don't know what else there is to say.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Lynch has surpassed his number of outs from his last start!

[ChiTown]

I honestly dislike Ryan O'Hearn. What a waste of space

[GloryDayz]

Ugh, so close....

[gblowfish]

Have we been swept by Detroit yet??

[GloryDayz]

And just like that, their batters can hit our pitcher's pitches.

[Mecca]

I honestly dislike Ryan O'Hearn. What a waste of space

He's proven for 3 years now he's a 4A player. Yet the Royals insist on calling him up and giving him at bats...it seems because he had a stretch 3 years ago where he hit something like 10 HRs in 30 games they won't acknowledge that was luck and dude sucks.

[Mecca]

And just like that, their batters can hit our pitcher's pitches.

Lynch has this problem where his control isn't perfect, he either walks goes or he's out over the plate. He was doing it in the spring too, he shouldn't be up.

[theoldcoach]

Danny Lynch is nowhere close to being ready to be a Major League starter. He just isn't ready. If he will ever be.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Danny Lynch is nowhere close to being ready to be a Major League starter. He just isn't ready. If he will ever be.

He's 24 years old, and he's pitched seven innings in his career. Why don't you pump the brakes a little, homie?

[theoldcoach]

I said if.

So you just absolutely KNOW that he will ever be?

[Mecca]

He's 24 years old, and he's pitched seven innings in his career. Why don't you pump the brakes a little, homie?

He's right though, he isn't ready and shouldn't have been called up.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

He's right though, he isn't ready and shouldn't have been called up.

I agree. But the "if he ever will be" seems a bit dramatic at this point.

[Mecca]

I don't know how anyone watches him pitch and thinks he's ready. Yes he throws hard and shows flashes but there's no consistency with his control.

1 inning he hits spots then he's all over the place, he's either out of the zone or up and over the plate, that gets you creamed.

[theoldcoach]

I agree. But the "if he ever will be" seems a bit dramatic at this point.


Nothing dramatic about it.

We don't know if he ever will be ready to be a Major League starter.. Nobody on God's green earth knows if he ever will be. There is nothing unusual about that. Lots of rookies struggle. But right now we have no idea whether he will or won't ever be a consistent Major League starter.

But he isn't ready now.

[Mecca]

I'm starting to question if the game has passed Dayton by.

[lewdog]

Good time to go back to work.

[crayzkirk]

Good time to go back to work.

Edzackary...

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Dozier is just lost right now. Swinging at stuff way out of the zone, swinging and missing and stuff right over the plate.

[cosmo20002]

Whit's OPS down to .722.
Benintendi is higher.

Dozier at a ridiculous .555

[ChiefsCountry]

Zimmer started his rehab last night in Omaha. Lynch will be sent down as soon as he is ready and Bubic will take his spot in the rotation.

[Straight, No Chaser]

Peaches & Roses Boy hits into another DP. Lots of stink at 1-9.

[Mecca]

It's funny to me the Royals expect anything from Zimmer, dude gets hurt getting out of bed.

[ChiefsCountry]

It's funny to me the Royals expect anything from Zimmer, dude gets hurt getting out of bed.

Team went to shit when he got hurt....

[PHOG]

Nice AB Soler LMAO :shake:

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm sure a DP coming with runner on 1st and 3rd.

[lewdog]

AB showing signs of life.

[Chiefspants]

Double play time, boys!

[gblowfish]

O'Turd whiffs again with guys on base...

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I'd have to think Bubic replaces Lynch in the rotation after today.

[lewdog]

I'd have to think Bubic replaces Lynch in the rotation after today.

Yup.

And I’ll replace Soler or Dozier.

[ChiTown]

I'd have to think Bubic replaces Lynch in the rotation after today.

Ervin Santana would be better than Lynch......I think

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Whit's OPS down to .722.
Benintendi is higher.

Dozier at a ridiculous .555

"Wit and Dozer with a combined .417 OPS" - sweendog math

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Man. Whit is struggling worse than I can remember him ever struggling.

[Mecca]

Mathenys continued desire to play Soler in the field so he can play O'Hearn is mind boggling stupid.

[PHOG]

Has Matheny lost the clubhouse? :hmmm:

[ChiTown]

Mathenys continued desire to play Soler in the field so he can play O'Hearn is mind boggling stupid.

Having as many DH's in the same daily lineup, that also can't hit, appears to be a must in the Matheny Managing Logic.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Mathenys continued desire to play Soler in the field so he can play O'Hearn is mind boggling stupid.

Yep. DFAing O'Hearn solves both of those problems. Get an outfielder up here (preferably Olivares), send O'Hearn down, and put Soler in his rightful spot of DH.

[TLO]

Guy throws 4 straight balls and Salvy puts a fastball swing on a curve that bounces 3 feet in front of the plate on the first pitch he sees.

Royals baseball. Feel the burn.

[Mecca]

O'Hearn should get DFA'd he's shit, the Royals apparently think when he hit 10 HRs in 40 games 3 years ago earns his spot...it's dumb.

[ChiefsCountry]

Bright side of this game looks like Bubic is ready to go back as a starter

[PurpleJesus28]

Bright side of this game looks like Bubic is ready to go back as a starter

Seriously,why isnt he starting instead of Lynch.

[Mecca]

Seriously,why isnt he starting instead of Lynch.

Because they put hype on Lynch's name...the year of no competition was bad for him..he likely needs a full season of minor league ball.

[MAG]

Anyone know the franchise record for losing streak? Or the individual hitless streak?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Guy throws 4 straight balls and Salvy puts a fastball swing on a curve that bounces 3 feet in front of the plate on the first pitch he sees.

Royals baseball. Feel the burn.

Yeah, that was brutal. After all these years, you'd think a player of his caliber would learn just an ounce of plate discipline.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Pinch hitting for O'Hearn. Nice job, Matheny!

[Chiefspants]

Will Dozier break out of his 0-30 stretch here?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Give Dozier a fucking day off. Holy shit.

[Chiefspants]

Will Dozier break out of his 0-30 stretch here?

Narrator: He didn't.

[Prison Bitch]

Dozier needs to be sent to AAA. He needs a message sent.

Oliveras is killing it down there and he plays an OF spot to move Soler back to perm DH

[TLO]

0-30

[ping2000]

Fucking weak. Pitiful.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Why does every Tigers reliever have a 6-7 ERA, yet they can strike out every hitter on the Royals in every inning?

[Mecca]

Dozier needs to be sent to AAA. He needs a message sent.

Oliveras is killing it down there and he plays an OF spot to move Soler back to perm DH

Haha they paid Dozier he's going out there every day even if he hits .032

[ChiefsCountry]

11 stranded runners today. FFS.

[lewdog]

The Sox are going to destroy us.

[siberian khatru]

To paraphrase Jerry Lee Lewis, there needs to be a whole lot of shaking up going on this evening. The shuttle to and from Omaha should be crowded.

[TLO]

I'm pretty much checked out at this point. It's embarrassing to watch. I was trying to stay optimistic but I have my limits.

[Chiefspants]

Just please don't GIDP, Soler.

[siberian khatru]

Salvy rib!

C'mon, Jorge, jack one

[lewdog]

Rally fucking time!!!!

You fools. Don't fall for it

I will be happy if the Royals can keep it within 10 each game.

[crayzkirk]

I was screaming at the TV: Don't swing, Don't swing...

I guess he didn't hear me.

[siberian khatru]

Dyson pinch running

Jesus, Soler

Run Dyson Run

Gonna crush us again.

Fake rally.

Those have been the little differences that have kept us continuing losing close games this streak.

[siberian khatru]

Ah, the old false hope.

Two shitty at bats to extinguish the flame

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Swept by the Detroit Tigers. Unbelievable.

[siberian khatru]

I guess Dyson was there in case something hit the gap? Because otherwise, why not try to let him steal into scoring position?

[TLO]

You fools. Don't fall for it

:sulk:

[theoldcoach]

I guess Dyson was there in case something hit the gap? Because otherwise, why not try to let him steal into scoring position?

And against a 3rd string catcher no less.

The Royals aren’t playing to win. They are playing not to lose.

And that includes The Manager and the front office.

Hell yeah! Dayton Moore is to blame for Dyson not running. MOORED

[gblowfish]

Swept in three straight series by divisional opponents. Our $24 million third baseman is 0-30. Now we get to go to Chicago to get our nads kicked in a double header tomorrow.

Happy Happy Joy Joy!

There better be some consequences for this shit show in Detroit...

When are you going to start chewing some asses???" Nope. Boo Bitch got some guys out. Hurray! "Hey Mike, you stranded more than a dozen guys in this game. Do you like dozens of things, like donuts maybe?" Yeah, Boo Bitch was so good....

Fing Choking Losing Pussies. Trey Bell Muser Pena!

I get that,but Bubic already pitched in the bigs last year and looked more ready to me than Lynch.Bubic throws with command,can keep hitters off balance etc.Oh well,what the hell do i know.

Bubic has better command, Lynch has more velocity, The issue is Lynch has almost no command. He'll flash and show you a super impressive like in the first he dropped a change to Cabrera and a slider to Goodrum that look like +++ pitches. Then he can't do it again...so he proceeds to walk guys because he's out of the zone. Then when he throws strikes he's up and over the plate so he gets creamed. You see the glimpses of why Lynch is well thought of but he has no consistency to maintain it.

Bubic doesn't have that upside, he doesn't hit 97, his command and consistency is much better though, he reminds me of Jason Vargas.

[ChiefsCountry]

I get that,but Bubic already pitched in the bigs last year and looked more ready to me than Lynch.Bubic throws with command,can keep hitters off balance etc.Oh well,what the hell do i know.

Bubic was already in the bullpen, they put Zimmer on the IR and needed bullpen help. They decided to move Junis to the pen, where his future is, and bring up Lynch. Zimmer should be back soon, thus Lynch will be back to Omaha or Northwest Arkansas.

[GloryDayz]

Well they're trying...

[petegz28]

Hi! If this team was ass they would be light years ahead of where they are right now....


Have a good night
