In. **** the Bucs!

I've got Burnett in my fantasy. That bodes well for the Royals!

In

2014 Yordano arrives tonight

Hate rooting against Andrew McCutchen, he's the one player I absolutely love who doesn't play for the Royals.

Guess Yordano has his velocity. 100 there LMAO

Looking great.

Discuss Thrower starting the GDT?

We're ****ed. :facepalm:

That is the Yordano we need down the stretch. Just filthy.

Wicked

Nice to see Yo's **** you stuff early.

Jesus. That was an impressive first.

Isn't this a post the self loathing Discuss Thrower should make?

World Series Preview

Best stream. No popups.

We had one last year with the Giants in August I think it was.



We swept them.





:(

great start

Why do teams keep throwing first pitch fastballs to Esky?

there ya go...take it to them early

MOOSE......moose

Get him on, get him over, get him in.

TOO ****ing easy!!!

decent start

Beautiful, regardless of the out

I feel like we have seen Esky get on and Moose drive him in within the first 5 pitches of the game at least 3 times now this season.

**** yo shift son

How about a 2 run shot for a 3 run first?

3 hits, 1 run on 8 pitches.

i know he only threw 11 pitches but you know he feels like he threw 30

Know any stations on TuneIn Radio that show the Royals game for free? Last year there was one network who apparently just didn't give a shit and wouldn't black it out. I can't remember who they were.

Not much movement on that ball Skippy

Come on, Yo.

Bad luck there. Made his pitch.

shift ****ed us....

Shit.

The Pirates are my second favorite team... so this is somewhat of a tough series for me.

not sure why you play that shift when you need a dp?

Die.

WTF

ventura ain't fooling anyone right now

Go Royals!

Damn it, you looked so nasty to start out Yordano.

Jesus Christ, Yordano.

Well this could suck

Welp

****

Kris Medlen, come on down!

Just one of those games.

:facepalm:

:facepalm:

Yordano still has a long, long way to go.

Get this mother****er out.

LMAO WFT is going on?

BTW... When Nature Calls is getting the shit kicked out of him.

Clint Hurdle has more hops than Rios.

Pirates are a really, really good team. If we're going to be asleep at the wheel they're going to run us over.

Ventura is no Duffy

Just wildly inconsistent. First inning he was hitting corners, this inning way too many pitches right in the middle of the plate. Great stuff or not, can't put it on a tee.

i don't wanna say game over but this could be game over if he don't quit shitting his leg

Just cut bait right now. Long relief time.

go back to the play we had a shift on when we needed a dp.....

Speaking of Clint Hurdle, what happened to his face? Damn, is that what happens when you end up in Pittsburgh?

I think the opposite. Keep him in, you are already down 3 runs. You are facing a pitcher with a 2.11 ERA. You're probably just going to lose. I'd rather see if Ventura can hold it together and go six and give us some innings.

Now get the DP and move on

Not a chance.. let this turd wear this one to 110+ pitches.

And he strikes out Jesus Christ.

It's this. You aren't burning the pen out in this game, especially with the tough games over the next week.

with our schedule he has to eat innings regardless

Right

we had the dp earlier only ned took us out of position cause playing a shift looks cool

Cueto is looking good right now or Leake or Kazmir or Latos.

Yo looked good after he gave up 4 runs

yep

Well Ventura got out of that only giving up 4.

yo got ****ed by his coaches...i don't mind playing a shift with no one on but a runner on 1st, play your normal defense..had we done that it's still 1-0

Ventura needs to throw 98-100 or he can't get people out

Salvy loves him some navy hardware, apparently.

This game got out of hand quickly. Thanks, Ventura!
