****ing rain delay.

We might be seeing Chris Young or Medlen tonight.

Oh good, more Pete Rose

@jazayerli: A really long rain delay would be a great thing for KC. The Royals have the deeper bullpen, and Ventura could come back for Game 4 easily.

@KSeaboldt: Weird. They unrolled the tarp and Ken Harvey fell out…

Agree w Rany. Ventura does not have it tonight and Astros pen sucks. Let it rain

Moosh ill macka boo mich ung foo barl.

I blame CoMo.

Time to regroup ... If we're nothing else, we're resilient

"The guy who hit the home run for Kansas City ... "

Charlie Hustle on top of things

Looking at the radar, it looks like it should basically already have moved out by now. I bet they'll be back pretty quick.

This all ****ing day!

I half expect to see Rose start signing things

My friend said he called the concussion protocol absurd and that Donaldson should have came back today. That's pretty ignorant.

I too think it could be an advantage, but it's kind of wasted value because McHugh already has a high pitch count.

You got Tree-fiddy?

Bob Dole has the ban screen for CoMoChief pulled up in another window...

ROFL

Agreed. Banning him would ease the pain.

Game ends late, and then we have to turn around and play a day game. Doesn't sound too good. How long is this delay expected to last ?

So if its delayed for more than a certain amount of time they'll pull Ace and just go to the bullpen?

When Pete got his bell rung, he'd just go into the clubhouse, pop a few bennies and go right back out.

Yeah, it was a "back in my day" thing... ironically, he doesn't understand the impact of his own previously ignored head trauma, because of his previously ignored head trauma..... and well, I take it he wasn't very bright to begin with.

Dudes, either way. Two runs isn't anything. We need to just hold them at 3

I'm about to throw my Tank 7 bottle through the TV if Pete Rose doesn't STFU.

Wonder how long delay has to be for teams to not go with starter again?

RAUUUUUUUUL

An hour or so.

I definately feel like this delay is good for us. I'd be pissed if I were a Houston fan.

Yeah. Once his arm rests to long, it's dangerous to throw him out there

Guess its off the to watch the Blues until this rain delay is over.

Someone give me a heads up when we're back. I want to make nachos.

Thanks. I was a huge baseball fan as a kid, but after so many years of Royals suck I started to hate the sport and stopped watching until a few years ago. Still re-learning.

So, who pitches for us after the delay?

I'd say anything 45+ minutes and it's likely variable based on the starter. But I guess I really don't know either.

I'm starting to get this way with the Chiefs.

This. I'll always love NFL but I went chunks of the game last week without watching the Chiefs

I am too man, I was just telling my oldest boy that the other day. I dont know if I'll watch another game this season. Im definitely not planning my Sundays around it anymore.

I think it's already been about that time, I don't really think they'l send Ventura or McHugh out again

but i'm a dumast

Agreed. I think they are both done.

Blues are off to a great start LMAO

The Blues and Chiefs are the same franchise I swear.

At the game.

I am wet.

Did Pete Rose just joke about people dying under the tarp?

so no spit required?

CY warming?

Randy Johnson!

#RIP #TARPKID #INLOVINGMEMORY

CY

Chris Young, secret weapon.

CY and Medlen are almost guaranteed to pitch tonight.

Not sure how i feel about Young pitching.

Sadly, its Jon Rauch

Chris Young, 23rd in active players in ERA.

Hold up, CoMoChief. Stop posting so much in this thread!!

There's the outside shot they could actually bring Ventura back in game 3 against Keuchel too. Not that I'd bank on it... but it could be on the table if need be.

LOL

I'm a CoMoChief fan, but he's banned from starting Royals threads if we lose this game.

EDIT - Actually, **** him. I forgot he's a KU basketball and MU Football fan. At the same time. He lacks a soul.

Possible, but Ventura will need to keep his pitches down. Most of them were somewhat elevated, so....

Unless he gets to get it down, I'm not so sure.

I would be all for it, Volquez was wonderful for 3/4 of the season, but he has been dog shit the last 1/4.

That's like being transgender

Let's go CY.

All right.... back in business now...

Let's see how this goes....

Here we go....

Still don't understand why a guy who is 6'10" has such a low top velocity.

I have consulted Pete's chart and determined, based on innings 1-2, that the Royals will give up 0 runs this inning. Then -1 runs the next inning, then -2 etc. I like where this is trending.

Nasty work Chris Young

Nice "performance" (catchers hate the word pitch framing).

Can you throw 90 mph?
