***Official Royals @ Indians game thread 4/24***
Lets split the series today! I have been to two games this season, both of which were started by Chen, and both of which the Royals won. So this is the perfect game for me to start my first game thread of the season.
Chen - 1-1, 6.60 ERA Kluber - 1-2, 5.40 ERA Here is the link to the online stream. http://www.strikeout.co/baseball/222...am-online.html |

The players aren't performing. It's on them. Ned Yost is playing our "best" players. What more do you want him to do? He can't swing the bat for these turds. If all of them continue to suck then it's on our GM as these players suck.
Players/GM, that's the blame. And **** David Glass. |

5-10 vs. the AL Central so far. I really don't like the way we matchup with these teams. Cleveland, Chicago, and Minnesota aren't going to have a lot of trouble outscoring us most nights and Detroit has better pitching.

If we're having trouble matching up against shitty teams in this division, which is probably the worst in MLB, then we must really suck ass. I said 79 wins before the year because we weren't going 15-4 vs Minnesota again. I may have overshot.

I'm slowly progressing from optimistic to snarky about this damned powerless lineup. Its still April, but after June the next step is surrender and selling at the deadline. Yesterday was a nice little flurry, but they still haven't shown the consistent power needed to not waste our pitching.

Oh, and we're mediocre in what is by far the easiest month on our schedule. If we're really a playoff team, then we were supposed to kill it out there and build a nice lead to defend. Next month doesn't look particularly tough, but it'll be harder than April.

If we consistently stroked line drives for doubles I'd probably accept that, with our pitching we could probably make it work, but we're not doing that much either.

Our "studs" that we've been waiting for to produce from their minor league glory days haven't been able to transition that to the big leagues on a consistent basis. The guys were hyped up....but they're not who we all thought they were unfortunately.
We have a bunch of contact hitters. There's ZERO power in this lineup. There's not a pitching staff out there that's afraid to pitch to us. Maybe afraid isn't the correct word...but there's no one on this offense that pitchers have to worry about. I mean it's been over a decade since we've had someone crack the 30HR mark. There's no positive spin you can possibly put on that, it's just sad...esp in the day where 30HR's really isn't anything special anymore.

We don't have anything of value to sell at the deadline, outside of Shields. And DM is loathe to do that because that trade defines his stint. We could get something for Gordon I suppose but he's pretty punchless at the plate too. He's basically a Rusty Greer at this point and those guys don't bring much - look at what little Hunter Pence brought back.
