Ventura, 9-9, 4.27 ERA vs Rodriguez, 2-5, 5.11 ERA

This is a huge game. Detroit, Seattle, New York, Houston, and Cleveland all lost today. If we win today, we will be 5.5 games back in the division, 3 games back in the second wildcard, and just 4 games back of the first wildcard spot.

It's time for our Royals to start another long winning streak!

This is pretty much a must-win. Failed to make up ground last night, can't waste another opportunity when it presents itself.

In for the Win!

Could be a nice night. A chance to gain a game on both teams ahead of us in the division, as well as the Mariners, Astros, and Yankees.

Let's do this boys.

I HATE late games . and yeah 7 is late ! Specially for a sunday.

It's far from a must win, it would be a great win though.

If we lose, we went 3 and 3 on a brutal road trip against two playoff quality teams. If we win, we went 4 and 2. But the Royals put themselves in the position that 4 and 2 is pretty huge. It's not a must win because there are 30 some games left, but we can't let games like this slide by, games that we have the pitching matchup in our favor.

In for the win.

I keep hoping Hosmer & Morales get into one of their hot streaks when everything they hit is hard.

Royals 3

Red Sox 5

I don't see a must win yet. 4 GB of the WC with a home stand coming up against NYY and DET. The Must Wins are next week IMO

I'm sorry, but when you have a chance right in front of you to make up ground on a crowded field -- when the odds already are against you -- you have to win. You can't say, eh, get em next week. You need lots of these chances to present themselves, and you don't know how many are left with so few games remaining.

BIG opportunity tonight -

also sorry about yesterday - MLB games are a little more laborsome than NFL game threads. I ran behind & had to rush out. Sorry for that.

I see both points here and neither are necessarily wrong, a lot is contingent on the teams above us, but there really are a lot in the mix - INCLUDING your Kansas City Royals!

GTFO

We Love you Bro !

I look at it as a giant puzzle. I think 88 games is possible and MAY give us a chance to snag the last WC spot. I assumed we would only get 1 of 3 in Boston while getting to 88 wins, so I'm not going to panick if we lose one tonight.

I don't, however, disagree with your premise: it's good to strike while the iron is hot :)

Let's do it!

go ahead and call that ball a strike.

wish Cain would STOP doing that swinging for the fence thing.

Does Cain look a little gimpy after his swings lately or is that just my imagination?

I thought the same thing

"Hosmer having another very strong season."
Ha.

ESPN can suck my dick. I can't stream games through my phone even with a valid account anymore.

pitch the ball you puss

Make this guy throw two strikes.

I believe he always walks like that. Always has. Teammates give him shit about it too

Opportunity wasted. FU Kendrys.

Morales needs to get hot.

starting of stranding runners. nice.

Save about a 3 week stretch, Morales has just been a bucket of shit this year.

That fourth pitch to Kendrys was borderline at best and certainly not worth swinging at

why is it you and I know this but the ones getting paid millions can't determine that?

I swear he's gained weight. I think he's outa shape amongst other things. Too bad, as KM was one of my favorites. Up until this year, he always seemed to put a decent at bat together.

Pedroia out, thank God. I know it's a Family emergency, but still, thank you Jesus

Papi runs like Babe Ruth with the Boston Braves.

Would you rather have Billy back?

SALVY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111111111

Salvy!!

There we go

Salvy!!!!!

Good to see you, penbrook!

AND SALVY!!

this umpire is fuqtarded and clearly blind.

So that's why we got burns!!

had you guys seen this?

Make this guy pay. Need a crooked number.

Damn Mondesi is fast

Mondesi needs to put a chin strap on his helmet. It falls off every time.

That'll do, Paulo. That'll do.

At least Paulo made contact

Feeling really good about this game, Ventura seemed to have it and this pitcher doesn't.

this guy is all over - I'd tell the hitters to ALL wait for 2 strikes - he's clearly not able to find the zone.

Cutty swinging at balls 3 and 4.

This is on Ned right here. Sorry - dumb to go up swinging right now

Shitty at-bat, Cutty.

Dammit. Sox lucky they're down just 2.

Guy didn't throw Cuthbert one strike yet the dumbass swung anyway.

Nice inning. Shut em down, Yo!

That's just dumb. Ned can tell them to take pitches all he wants. Doesn't mean they'll do it. He never threw a strike to Cuthbert.

Ned doesn't really manage the game.

It's damn near impossible to get a 1-2-3 inning on these guys.

then he's not much of a manager - Bobby Cox had that kind of control -

But that's fine Dartgod - call me dumb all you like.

I didn't call you dumb. I called what you said dumb. Big difference.

I consider myself to be pretty smart, but I say and do dumb shit all the time.

2 out walks after being up 1 and 2 in the count = .:banghead:

Is Mookie Betts playing tonight?

Why don't these east coast assholes just go down into the dugout and fellate Betts?

Mookie who?

And here we go.....

I don't really know the Royal's outside of this year - maybe a little last year.

But Bobby Cox absolutely could and did have that kind of control over his team from the 90's - maybe that's a dated management technique. I assumed it was the same 'across the board' but I guess not - considering they should be up by 4 runs right now and aren't because they have/had practically zero plate patience.

Out of the inning, but a lot of wasted pitches.

Let's get after this guy and chase him out early!

**** it. I would.

He's legit awesome.

JFC - Morales was jogging to 1B

Lucky the throw sucked

These guys don't know shit. Hoz is the leader of this team. Perez is the leader of the pitching staff.

Chris Getz is the leader of the front office
