Go Royals and stuff.

Kansas City
Royals
46-44


Detroit
Tigers
47-44


KC: Ventura (6-7 , 5.15 ERA) DET: Fulmer (9-2 , 2.11 ERA)

Flipped over from golf literally 1 minute after first pitch and we already had 2 outs

A quick game today would be nice.

Hey man!


Weird out there today. I haven't seen a cloud in weeks!

14 pitches to get through the first inning. Yeesh.

I know. We've had like almost 0 monsoon action so far

Cuthbert!

Cuthbert is quickly moving up my list of favorite players.

Turned the game on just in time for a nice RBI double! Orlando is fast!

In FTW

Like absolutely zero. I've never seen a summer like this.

I miss the huge rains.

All aboard the Cuthbert train.

Nice work Hoz

Fulmer is due a pounding

Good lord, SO after going 3-0.

painful to watch Alex this year

Oh Gordo, you've been such a disappointment this year

John Lamb demoted to AAA. Who's the guy that always laments trading those guys away?

Here I come just in time to watch Ventura **** it all up!

You know it's coming. Need to stockpile runs because no way Ventura avoids his typical 3 or 4 run shit inning.

Well it's not like they've hit him that hard. One bouncer over Cuthbert's head, one legit solid single, the other a dribble through the infield.

Didn't see that last one..did Cuthbert **** it up?

I don't know if that last pitch was stupid or ballsy...but wow that was a grand slam jack waiting to happen

Someone warn Bundy that Colon will be in a shift here so he doesn't lose his mind again.

balk??? WTF?

And ****.

that was a TERRIBLE CALL!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

I don't see it.

Because he didn't get his hands set?

Looks like he did to me.

I don't know about that call. Two different umps called it though.

Way to hang in there, Ace...**** YOU UMP!

Royals 2
Tigers 0
Ump's 1

I hate the majority of balk calls.

What a ****ing bullshit call.

Yeah, I think if two separate umps call it, it's probably legit.

No ****ing way that is a balk. Yo knew it. Glad he got out of that only allowing one

Nice way to settle down and get that last out though.

Need to see the replay again though. Sure looked like he was set, but I don't know. Maybe there was something small we're missing.

I don't understand why a balk is not reviewable, either?

That's kind of what I'm thinking.

we say 2 Umps called it but one could have called and the other heard the one and chimed in to let everyone know a balk was being called

Dead ball play I guess?

Seems silly to me though.

When the Tigers announcers are questioning the balk....

Ticky-tack balk call.

Brutal, Esky.

Good on Ventura to keep his cool through that and get that last out. Didn't even make a single reaction to the terrible balk call, either.

Ventura showing up. Defense and Umps working against him.

That's just pure laziness on Escobar's part. Pure. ****ing. Laziness.

Wow I'd be shocked if that stands

Safe

Safe. Not even close.

ROFL

Lol

Gotta say, Ventura is really pitching nicely around trouble

Yordano is on today!

Even the Detriot radio guys didn't see the balk. "Dont see it. Great call, heck of a call though". Lol. We'd say the same thing though.

I've been listening to those guys some this weekend when I've had to run errands. Satellite radio only gives the home team broadcast. I gotta say......I kinda like em.

The Royals should just have Yordano pitching from the stretch all the time. I think his strikeout rate would improve.

His windup does not actually do anything for him and then he only has to focus on one method of delivery rather than two and pitching from the stretch is so much simpler.

It has definitely done wonders for Duffy. Yordano even began this season with a new delivery, then went back to his 2015 delivery after maybe two months of the season. Doesn't seem to do much for him.

**** off Ventura.. you turd.

Yo ties it up.

2016 Royals find wonderful ways to lose.

Classic.

Balk and a wild pitch.

That run is on the OF that ****ing couldn't track down a routine hit ball: NFW that should have been a triple

I don't know why anyone would call Ventura a turd after this game. He's been pretty clutch. We need some run support.

**** me. Of course

Seriously, Yordano has given up maybe 1 earned run. I mean, if the outfield handles that better and the ump doesn't make up a balk, YV is through the sixth with a shutout with like 80 pitch count.

Yeah. Not getting Hosmer home from 3rd with one out is probably gonna be our undoing. Well, that and the ****ery of the outfielders last inning

If we end this game with 2 runs, I can be this putrid offense to thank for another loss.

Ventura was responsible for both runs. I was hoping that not getting Hosmer home wouldn't come back to haunt the Royals.

Anything can be said about Ventura, he finds ways to lose. However, the offense has scored an immaculate two runs in their valiant effort.
