Time for a slump buster!

[cabletech94]

Sure!! What the hell could go wrong?

Hope I didn’t jinx the return on mondesi.

[Prison Bitch]

Wife making me take the fam. If there are any attorneys in here does this qualify for spousal abuse?

Take a break in the AC once in awhile.

My wife is an Attorney, only qualifies as abuse if you are forced to take the kids to the outfield experience and don't get to watch the game.

[Deberg_1990]

I’d rather poop in my pants

[TLO]

Why is Gutierrez playing every day????

[gblowfish]

Nuke LaLoosh pitching for the Royals today...

[gblowfish]

Dozier gets the day off. He has 30 more K's than hits. I'd give him a week off. Let him chow down at Zarda and take a few post BBQ naps!

Where can I buy this energy drink?

[BWillie]

I’d rather poop in my pants

I'd rather beat off with barbed wire than watch this shit show.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

A scoreless first? I don't understand.

[ChiTown]

A scoreless first? I don't understand.

Yep - last 4 games we've given up a run in the 1st.

[cabletech94]

A scoreless first? I don't understand.

#winning.

[ROYC75]

And here we go, 2nd inning on slaught by the Tigers?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Nice work, Singer!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

And here we go, 2nd inning on slaught by the Tigers?

Well...no.

[tk13]

Mondesi bomb. And the Royals actually lead a baseball game.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Mondi!

[ROYC75]

Nice work, Singer!

It was, Santana with a good stop too!

[ROYC75]

Mondesi bomb. And the Royals actually lead a baseball game.

Good to see him back!

Now, just stay healthy!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Jake Rogers' bunt was almost as bad as his mustache.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Sal!

[big nasty kcnut]

In it to win it.

[ROYC75]

Salvy to Monde: Anything you can do, I can do better!

[tk13]

Singer done after 3 innings. I hope he's not hurt now too.

[ROYC75]

What's up with Singer?

[Chiefspants]

Singer done after 3 innings. I hope he's not hurt now too.

Odd to see him sitting beside Matheny.

[Chiefspants]

You can’t do that, MAT.

[ChiefsCountry]

Taylor made a play in the outfield that looked like him hitting

[ROYC75]

Damn It Taylor!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

What happened to Singer?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Haha! Mondesi is awesome.

[WhawhaWhat]

Nice play by Mondesi.

[Chiefspants]

I missed Mondi so much

[ChiefsCountry]

Why is Gutierrez playing every day????

I think we need to know what direction to go with at third base. That includes if we have to put BWJ at 3rd. Dozier can do it but the question is do we want Dozier there full time.

[ChiefsCountry]

Taylor with the old school break up slide.

[Chiefspants]

Whit just couldn’t catch up with those fastballs.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

They said Singer was taken out due to right shoulder tightness.

[SCTrojan]

It’s extremely rare to see Whit look mediocre.

[ROYC75]

It’s extremely rare to see Whit look mediocre.

Rare?

Cuz we've never seen it before!

[Mecca]

So how will the Royals fuck it up today?

[ROYC75]

Hernandez looks like a good one for us. Doing well today, again!

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Dang. Heck of a job by Hernandez.

[PHOG]

Good job, Hernandez. :thumb:

[ROYC75]

So how will the Royals **** it up today?

By winning! 😁

[Chiefspants]

DET announcers just trashing Kelvin and Alberto’s approach at the plate right now.

[SCTrojan]

Not shocking

[Chiefspants]

I wonder how well Greg's arm bounces back these days (multiple pitching days in a row)

[CasselGotPeedOn]

DET announcers just trashing Kelvin and Alberto’s approach at the plate right now.

DM is ready to make them the highest paid players on the team.

[PHOG]

Well, that didn't take long.

[Chiefspants]

This losing streak was lacking an old fashioned bullpen implosion.

[PHOG]

:banghead:

[Prison Bitch]

Can I request a refund?

[crayzkirk]

Hard to win when your team doesn't get timely hitting or relief pitching. I woke up on the wrong side of the dog house today and this sure isn't helping me much.

[dlphg9]

Fucking Olivares sitting the bench again. Shit is getting ridiculous. Matheny should jump out of the stadium and land on a car.

[gblowfish]

I'm sure we won't lose tomorrow!

[dlphg9]

Maybe instead of putting Holland in, we could have used Zimmer. Matheny would rather put Zimmer in for 1/3 of an inning.

[Chiefspants]

16 out of 17 of Barlow's pitches have been sliders.

[dlphg9]

In Zimmer's last 9 appearances he's pitched 2/3 of an inning or less in 5 of those. Seems like Mathenys a fucking idiot that likes wasting one of if not our best bullpen piece.

[Chiefspants]

Detroit's bullpen sucks but this lead feels insurmontable. This guy can barely find the zone, we'll see if the Royals can approach him with some patience.

[Chiefspants]

Just don't GIDP, Salvy

[CasselGotPeedOn]

Lulz

[Prison Bitch]

They suck out loud

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Just don't GIDP, Salvy

:cuss:

[Mama Hip Rockets]

3 for last 46 with RISP. How is that even possible?

[theoldcoach]

May very well be the worst situational hitting team in history.

[CasselGotPeedOn]

3 for last 46 with RISP. How is that even possible?

What do you expect with such a god awful approach at the plate this team has.

[Chiefspants]

:cuss:

I specifically asked him not to.

Bradshaw is reaching Pedro Grifol levels of performance from this offense.

[nychief]

This team drives me fucking crazy... they excel at nothing. Luckily the young players are regressing.

[Chiefspants]

This team drives me ****ing crazy... they excel at nothing. Luckily the young players are regressing.

Seeing that one of Matheny's largest criticisms was his handing of young players, this does not inspire confidence.

Cam is having a day.

[Pablo]

JFC. Really cool

[Prison Bitch]

they excel at nothing. .

They lead MLB in swinging % and bunt hits.

[SCTrojan]

This team drives me ****ing crazy... they excel at nothing. Luckily the young players are regressing.

Good lord - exactly.

[gblowfish]

What's with these negative waves? Who said anything about locking horns with Tigers???

ROFLROFLLMAO

I’ll try to think of something righteous and hopeful to say

[gblowfish]

How much are you enjoying this?

I hate losing streaks. This is not rock bottom for me though. Back in the early 2000s when the Royals were losing 100 games a year. I started one season rooting for the Kansas City Kanchos, a fantasy team I invented. The Kanchos were the team KC was playing, and they became my personal home team. The Kanchos won over 100 games and won the AL Central by 12 games. It was the ultimate "Schadenfreude" season. It was the only way I could tolerate the losing.

Look up "Kancho."

[Mecca]

Your schtick is getting old, dude.

I thought it was the shittiness of the Royals that was getting old.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I thought it was the shittiness of the Royals that was getting old.

Yes, but guys like gblowfish and BWillie who seem to be actively rooting against them make it even more miserable.

[gblowfish]

Your schtick is getting old, dude.

I prefer the title "Irritant in Residence."

I think most people unless they were being super homers could see this coming a mile a way. Whit is aging and declining, Mondesi is super injury prone, the lineup in general is ass.

85% of this rebuild is based on pitching, pitchers fail at an enormous rate whether from injury, being awful or ending up relievers.

[Prison Bitch]

I think it’s funny. Was George like this during Chiefs 08 and 12?

[Mecca]

I think it’s funny. Was George like this during Chiefs 08 and 12?

I was...they were at a point where losing was better than winning to get people fired.

[Chiefspants]

True, but there are exciting signs for our pitching. It’s an enormous accomplishment that four drafted pitchers all made the majors. And any baseball fan will tell you there’s going to be growing pains with that.

I guess what I don’t get is some don’t want to engage in the prospect talk at all and are just ****ing on this MLB team at every opportunity, when this year was never going to be the year we were going for the ship.

[theoldcoach]

Staumont is just fucking all over the place.

I'm a believer in building around position players just because it's safer. I don't look at any of the Royals pitchers and seen an ace.

[Straight, No Chaser]

Guy wearing fatigues with signs behind home plate more entertaining than this

“Marry Me Gutfeld”
“Jeff Montgomery Fan Club”

[Mecca]

Guy with signs behind home plate more entertaining than this

“ Arryn Me Gutfeld”
“Jeff Montgomery Fan Club”

If only he had a Bill DePussy sign.

[Chiefspants]

Kowar and Lacy absolutely have ace potential.

[Mecca]

Kowar and Lacy absolutely have ace potential.

I haven't actually seen Lacy pitch I just know his periphals are concerning. Kowar I have thought forever ends up a closer, he's a 2 pitch guy but if that control doesn't settle he's a well bust.

[Chiefspants]

He developed a curve that was dominating AAA.

[theoldcoach]

I wouldn't pinch hit Dozier for Bubic.

[gblowfish]

Hey...we have a chance!

[CasselGotPeedOn]

My lord what an awful at bat

[theoldcoach]

Perez strikes out on two of the three pitches that weren't even close to being strikes.

[ChiefsCountry]

I'm a believer in building around position players just because it's safer. I don't look at any of the Royals pitchers and seen an ace.

You have always over valued power hitting which isn't made for Kauffman Stadium. You need pitching, defense and speed there.

[theoldcoach]

Swept again by one of the worst teams in baseball.

[gblowfish]

Lost 11 out of last 12. I'm sure they'll sweep the Boston Red Sox. Kowar is slated to be the starter!

[petegz28]

If this team was just bad, they'd be better than they are

[gblowfish]

Swept again by one of the worst teams in baseball.
Twice.
But I think Baltimore is worse. Of course, we haven't played them yet...

[ROYC75]

Lost 11 out of last 12. I'm sure they'll sweep the Boston Red Sox. Kowar is slated to be the starter!

Ya know, we want our team to do well and it's easy being an armchair fan. But it's getting to a point where you are damn near an asshole about all of this!

I'm ( most Royals fans are too ) equally frustrated about losing as you are, but to act like an ass about it is just not the way to go.

Like you, I do not like Matheny as our MGR! But FO is not going to let him go until it becomes apparent he is not capable of taking the team any farther. With the young talent in the Minor's around the corner, GMDM is going to be patient to let that talent develop.

Face it George, this team wasn't going to contend this year! Next year is a possibility, but this team has to learn how to win and let the younger guys develop in the process.

[ROYC75]

Perez strikes out on two of the three pitches that weren't even close to being strikes.

Wasn't patient at the plate!

[Why Not?]

Swept again by one of the worst teams in baseball.

Well, once you consider that we are also one of the worst teams in baseball, the fact you presented isn't as big a deal as it would originally seem. So we've got that going for us, which is nice.

Matheny was the wrong type of coach for the Royals. He was the absolute worst in developing and managing young talent. Ruin so many players. His my way or the highway approach was toxic. Maybe he changed, but doesn’t sound like it. Sorry you guys have to deal with him. Wouldn’t wish him on anyone.

He was, literally I know of NO ROYALS fan that wanted that pick for our MGR.

He answered the god and porn questions right.

[Mama Hip Rockets]

Maybe let him pitch more than 2 innings in his career before writing him off?

[Prison Bitch]

Tiggers have 26hr in June, most in MLB.

It’s concerning their lineup has made big strides this year and ours has gone backward
