before this week started, I was praying for a week of .500 ball.

Please for the love of god, win 2-3 before monday comes around.

Time to get torched!

we need a win

BWillie, the cuckiest cuck in cuckville!

But deep, deep down, you know he's right

I think we all got a good feeling about this one

I don't have a great feeling about this game...

Welp, altavillage idiot experiment is over.

I never pitched in major league games, but I imagine I could throw a FUGGIN strike tho. I just might turn on the winter soldier. It’s on FX right now.

Goodnight

It's okay we just need to score a touchdown on the next drive and we'll be back in this.

Way to go Lynch. :shake:

what is everyone doing besides watching the royals tonight?

Eating ass

I can’t decide who’s worst, Alta or Lynch. Great time to show your worth(s). It’s like they are all terrified of the Yankees.

It’s like Deja vu all over again and again. Coach is a dumb ass.

Pathetic

Go royals

wacha wacha wacha update?

lfg :sleep:

I’m just venting right now. But why is no one mad at Vinnie for missing that bad bounce at him at first base. Maybe I’m wrong, I just don’t see it in him. I don’t know.

Daniel Lynch can go now

Yo Duncan Idaho

This team would be foolish to give up prospects they aren't going anywhere in the post season

They probably aren't making the playoffs anyway.

They don't really have that many prospects to trade for someone who is going to make a significant impact on this season. I would stand pat and listen to offers for anyone not named BWJ.

They need to sign some free agents next offseason. John Sherman needs to open up the checkbook.

This can still be a good season - they're just not ready to be true competitors.

Freddie needs ABs every game

I hate to be a pessimist, but it is simply reality. If we make the postseason, this is a preview of how we’d fare.

This just shows how far away they are.. Couple more years..

Yeah. There’s no shame in having 56 wins one year and not being able to hang with the best team in the AL the next. Royals are gonna end up much improved and may even nab a playoff spot. But they have a ceiling and it ain’t beating the Yankees in the AL champ series, that’s for sure

When you start shit ass, talentless, gutless pitchers against a team that mashes them, this is what you get.

Why is a guy that hasn't pitched in 3 years and the 2 years before his injury had a 5+ ERA each season even on our ML roster? Dude should have been a farm guy.

Lynch almost has 2 seasons worth of starts and has a career ERA over 5. His career WHIP is 1.5. They should toss his ass in the bullpen and see what he can do in there. Bubic should have gotten the last couple of starts.

Lynch=Ass.

Oh and btw you all are a bunch of idiots. ****ing whining and crying that this isn't a playoff team just based on a bad stretch. This is by far the toughest stretch they have all year. They're still 3 games up for the wild card spot and only 5.5 games back for the division. They still play the division winner like 14 times.

Stop being whiney ass pussies for ****s sake.

MLB is psyched out by the Yankees...Stroman and Poteet?,,,if they were on any other team we would be barreling

Here is what I will say. The Royals player are flat out intimidated by the Yankees, Q is definitely scared of them. Tonights game was a throwaway game for him, he doesn't believe he or his team has what it takes to compete with the Yankees. He should just admit it post game.

Sorry - I just see too many holes on this team.

o:-)

analytics say Lynch cant get out of the first inning either, i guess

I dont think he said this but do you have a source for this huzzah...Duncan was in a what if mode

This is all my fault. I took advantage of the 50% off deal for MLB.tv yesterday...

Daniel Lynch is absolutely awful

Just keep Lynch out there and maybe his arm will explode.

dodgers are gonna feast too,,,,our starting pitching except for Ray Gun is pathetic

Royals are a good young team that seemed a little ‘ahead of schedule’ this year.

They’re still a good young team.

They just don’t belong among the elites yet. And that’s okay.

Still think they’ve got a good chance of snagging a WC this year. And I wouldn’t be totally shocked if Cleveland collapsed at some point.

Long season still . . . .

This team is fun when they’re on, which has been a lot this year. Enjoy them.

No I'm just saying usually he chimes in with something insightful just wondering what he thinks

I don't know if the 2014/15 Royals would have done any better against the Yankees. Fortunately, they were knocked out before the Royals would have faced them. Some teams just don't match up well against others. The Yankee hitters have a lot more discipline at the plate and wear our pitching out while the Royals hitters get anxious and start swinging at everything which just makes it easier on their pitching.

As long as the Royals don't face the Yankees in the playoffs; they are fine.

Starting out games behind at home in the first inning is never a good start. It takes the fans out immediately.

Yeah man, he is probably at a loss for words right now
Starting pitching is fallin, who can stop loss this bs

Yankees are about to be 49-21. That's not just good it's great. It's a 113 win pace. We definitely weren't up to the challenge in this series. Also our lack of depth overall is still a thing, Salvy's been slumping and Massey and Renfroe got hurt just as they were heating up and the Yankees hitters have worn the pitching down. They're still near the top of the league in runs and have a good rotation. Hopefully this has been a good learning experience.

Royals can literally go .500 the rest of the season and will make the playoffs more than likely.

F@CK OFF!

What holes? They have one of the best offenses in the AL. They have the best D in the league. The starters have been great for pretty much all season. The relief pitchers aren't good, but we can get a good one or 2 at the deadline

Are you willing to trade away all of the prospect the Royals have for some relief pitchers?

BTW I really hate the Yankees and I am super disappointed the Royals from the manager to the players are intimidated by them.

Teams don't trade away all there prospects for relief pitchers. We could give up a top 10-15 guy and get someone decent.

Seth Lugo is 9-2 with a 2.36 ERA. He hasn’t been great his last two times out but he’s far from pathetic.

The good news is this brutal stretch we've had of playing playoff teams is almost over.

After the Dodgers we won't have one of these stretches ever again.

End of August we have 3 vs the Phillies and 4 at Cleveland. Followed by 4 at Houston (who aren’t great so far this year but until they are officially dead for the season, I wouldn’t count them out.

Lol no reason to give up on the season. They need to patch things up via the trade market soon though.

Alec Marsh won't be sleeping well tonight, knowing he is going to give up 6 runs in the first inning.

No no no please do not give up a thing unless it helps you for next year and beyond too.

God damn, shut up BWillie.

This aged well.

Marsh stepped up and threw the best game of his career yesterday.

Props to him!
