[Mama Hip Rockets]

Man. Look at those lineups.

[TomBarndtsTwin]

Top 3 look good. The bottom 2/3 of that lineup looks brutal.

They're really gonna miss Benny's bat in there . . . . . .

[BWillie]

Make it stop. Please make it stop.

[Pablo]

I'm just gonna go ahead and torture myself tonight watching that AIDS lineup. They'll probably score 12 just to continue to fuck our brains up.

[TLO]

Guiterrez and Alberto in the same lineup??? COUNT ME IN!!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I'm just gonna go ahead and torture myself tonight watching that AIDS lineup. They'll probably score 12 just to continue to **** our brains up.

So true. Seems like they always light it up when they trot out lineups like this. LOL

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

Is this the same lineup thats got us this awesome losing streak??

[petegz28]

Does Mondesi play baseball anymore? Dude has been out all but like 5 games this season with 2 different injuries.

[petegz28]

Keller off to his usual stellar start.....

[theoldcoach]

Just fucking awful!

[Coach]

5 pitches in, and already a run across for the Tigers.

[petegz28]

1 pitch HBP 1 on
3rd pitch single 2 on
5th pitch single 2 on and 1 run in....


awesome

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Wow. 5 pitches in, and we've already had an HBP and an error.

[GloryDayz]

This might be an inning to forget.

[petegz28]

Wow. 5 pitches in, and we've already had an HBP and an error.

1st pitch of the game was a HBP

[Coach]

0-2 count and somehow worked himself to a full count.

This guy doesn’t have any killer instincts, none at all.

[petegz28]

0-2 count and somehow worked himself to a full count.

This guy doesn’t have any killer instincts, none at all.

13 pitches so far and over half of them to the #4 hitter.....

[Coach]

And now watch him throw 35 pitches in this inning….

[GloryDayz]

Pathetic.

[petegz28]

And now watch him throw 35 pitches in this inning….

If it gets him out early then okay....

This guy fucking SUCKS!

[theoldcoach]

Just fucking awful!

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Why does OP still make these threads? Lulz.

[GloryDayz]

Pitcher getting no love from the Ump.. He doesn't deserve it.

[GloryDayz]

LMAO

[Pablo]

Good lord. Training camp is a month away right?

[Coach]

Good god. Put him on the candidate’s to be DFA’ed.

He’s just awful.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Somebody should tell Keller that these are the Tigers.

[GloryDayz]

Now let's see if NY let's the Ump know his strike zone appears to be a little tight.

[WhawhaWhat]

That was a painful half inning.

[theoldcoach]

Merrifield now 2 for his last 21 at bats.

I have no idea what is wrong with him. But something certainly is.

This is just not the Whit Merrifield that we have come to know and love!

[Misplaced_Chiefs_Fan]

I love Salvy, but he just CANNOT lay off that low pitch. *sigh*

[TLO]

I mowed the grass and it's already 4-0???????

[WhawhaWhat]

I mowed the grass and it's already 4-0???????

May as well go trim the edges.

[WhawhaWhat]

Moose returning to Omaha tomorrow.

[TLO]

That ball couldn't have stayed fair, eh?

[PHOG]

Just tuned in, so we spotted them 4 runs huh? Getting to be a habit, it seems.

[PHOG]

Ah oh, Boyd's out.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Yikes. Rough night for Sal.

[Ron Swanson]

Quit swinging so freaking hard Soler, you dumbass.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I hate Soler so much.

[petegz28]

Aside from some offensive bursts from Salvy and Santana and I will toss in Benentendi, there is literally very little to like about this team right now.

[tyreekthefreak]

They all suck...

[Al Bundy]

Merrifield now 2 for his last 21 at bats.

I have no idea what is wrong with him. But something certainly is.

This is just not the Whit Merrifield that we have come to know and love!

He's old and the Royals missed their chance on trading him while he had value.

[Why Not?]

Merrifield now 2 for his last 21 at bats.

This is just not the Whit Merrifield that we have come to know and love!

It’s very possible he is starting to decline due to age/wear and tear. To still a sample size to know for sure but it’s certainly possible

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Barlow, Staumont, Zimmer, and Brentz make a heck of a bullpen if any of these starters ever remember how to pitch.

[PHOG]

They score!

[petegz28]

7 runs on 8 hits.....:facepalm:

[ChiefsCountry]

Damn Soler just missed one

[PHOG]

Another Detroit pitcher goes out.

[Chiefspants]

Just don't GIDP, Kelvin.

[ChiefsCountry]

One in the grass

[ChiefsCountry]

Damn blew a great chance

[Chiefspants]

Lineup is performing as expected tonight.

[TLO]

This fucking team

[Mecca]

It's time to change the teams name.

The Kansas City Booty Cheeks

It'd make for good logo and shirt designs.

[Mecca]

He's old and the Royals missed their chance on trading him while he had value.

Because Dayton Moore overvalues his players...stunner.

[Chiefspants]

I have enjoyed watching Ervin this year.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Let's see what they can do against the guy with the 13.11 ERA.

[theoldcoach]

8 left on base in 5 innings.

We are the worst team with runners in scoring position right now……..than any team I have ever seen.

We can’t even hit a fucking fly ball to score a run.

We can’t even put the ball in play with a runner at third and less than 2 outs.

We don’t know the meaning of the term “situational hitting”.

It is sad and disgusting.

Obviously we do not teach hitters to shorten up their swing and just put the ball in play in those type of situations.

That should be taught in rookie league. Hell……..in high school……….or little league.

Or………..the are void of ANY talent. And I do not believe that. You don’t get to the Major Leagues with no talent.

Or…………they are the most selfish players that ever put on a big league uniform.

Whatever………..changes need to be made.

We simply lack plate discipline.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Salvy walk!!!!!

[ChiefsCountry]

Unless you really liked Kyle Schwarber and some put in the butt players because that was what was offered for Whit. :rolleyes:

[Chiefspants]

While I'm not on the fire GMDM or Matheny train.

But this year is put up or shut up time for Eldred and Bradshaw, imo. We have to have the right dudes in those places for our young team next year.

[ChiefsCountry]

We got a run!

[petegz28]

We got a run!

[GloryDayz]

Looks like I picked a bad time to finish our ride and tune back in... LMAO

[theoldcoach]

11 runners left on base in 6 innings.

That is virtually impossible to accomplish!

[Dartgod]

He's old and the Royals missed their chance on trading him while he had value.

You haven't been paying attention to the trade market the last 2-3 years. Nobody wants to give up prospects anymore.

[bringbackmarty]

Matheny might consider giving Santana a start or two before the trade deadline, might be able to get something for him from a team desperate for long relief\back end starter.

[Chiefspants]

Tonight is really making me appreciate how the Blue Jays went 0-12 with RISP in Game 6. That had to be maddening in a game with those stakes.

[theoldcoach]

12 LOB in 7 innings!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

1 for 14 with RISP.

[TLO]

How many times can you shoot yourself in the foot before the foot is blown off?

[bringbackmarty]

great play by Erv. Not a good follow up pitch though.

[ChiefsCountry]

Opp field center field home run at Kauffman. Damn kind of impressive actually.

[TLO]

lol goodnight

.... this fucking team

[theoldcoach]

Atta boy Salvy. Hit into a double play. That keeps us from leaving another runner on base!

Smart thinking!!

[srvy]

It's damn frustrating pitching cant keep it close for 6 innings and hitters pucker up with runners in scoring position. We surely got to break out of this soon.

[srvy]

Teeing off on Santanna now.

[tk13]

He's old and the Royals missed their chance on trading him while he had value.

If they'd traded him everyone would be complaining about how Merrifield was tearing it up for the Cubs while we were watching a Gutierrez level prospect trying to find his way at the big league level.

[Mecca]

Truthfully the Royals are still feeling that period where they drafted terribly. That mixed with almost all of the top prospects being pitchers.

[Al Bundy]

Keller should be a guy that pitches in to the 8th inning every start no matter how many pitches.

[TLO]

Tomorrow starts a 5 game winning streak to take us back to .500. TAKE IT TO THE BANK

[Chiefspants]

Kelvin has had a rough one.

[ChiefsCountry]

Tigers blew 9 pitchers tonight in a 10-3 game. Royals only used two.

[GloryDayz]

Tigers blew 9 pitchers tonight in a 10-3 game. Royals only used two.

Moral victory.

[theoldcoach]

A monumentally pathetic performance against a very bad baseball team.

And there is no way to sugarcoat it.

Goodnight friends.
