There's just no ****ing way that Colon and/or Gio are worse than Getz. They might be "as" bad, but they're not worse, and thus they should be up.

Agreed.

Dayton Moore loves his good ole boys that have play hard and right, though, like Getzy and Frenchy!

Herrera was dominant in Omaha. Was it because he fixed himself or because he's too overpowering for that level?

Guess we'll find out soon.

Five appearances, 5 IP, 6 K, no R.

Sigh. (throws shit)

Pretty much.

I can't believe you guys have a first base coach named Rusty Kuntz. LMAO

"It can always get worse" - Buddy Bell

This is second stint with the Royals as well.

lol I'm not trying to troll or anything, that was just hilarious to me.

This has been posted before, but...

LMAOLMAOLMAO

Which is why Getz and his .266 OBP is so infuriating, I suppose. Limited photo ops.

Why send Coleman down though? He pitched well here in his limited duty. I'm sure he's one of the few that has options, but DFA Guitterez. Coleman belongs with the big league club

I'll bet Herrera serves ups a gopher ball in his first appearance back. That would be SO Royals....

Bank on it.

So when does the Brett locker room meltdown take place? You know he's going to go off on these guys. He's not built to lose, nor accept it. I think we lose 5 of 6 in this homestand and he loses it after one of them, not that it will be reported

Hopefully, they have a Brett presser before every home game so I can drink every time he name drops someone. It'll be anesthetic for the visual abortion.

Gutierrez is here for the same reason that Getz and Francoeur are.

Side note: Funny Scout board story... someone posted an article from a Rangers fan who suggested the Rangers move Profar in exchange for James Shields.

I, reacting in skepticism, said (paraphrasing): "of course the Royals do that deal if offered (Profar > Myers + Odorizzi + Montgomery, IMO). Hell, if necessary, throw in a half season of Ervin Santana. It will never happen."

And I was told the price was TOO high.

Still chuckling.

KC Star twitter column today (I think) said Dyson is probably still two weeks away...

A 1-5 home stand awaits. Sent down the wrong Moore.

Golden vagina.

The Royals better get a viable backup plan in place because building around Escobar isn't going to work, IMO. Far too low of an OBP to be a consistent offensive player, and he kicks the routine ball far too often.

OMG. The LEGEND IN HIS OWN MIND MIKE SWEENEY IS IN THE HOUSE

Does he want more money?

Your next hitting coach once Brett says **** this shit.

**** this team.


Oh yea, see you in the game thread!

On the way..............

Talking dirty again?

What are you wearing?

Ned after our record setting 11th straight loss at home: "Be patient!"

Here's a fun and pointless factoid: Moose is batting .038 on Saturdays. Yup!

Dayton said this winter it was time to win. Is it bad form to hold him to it?

And he's batting .281 on Wednesdays! Ladies and gents, I think we have an alcoholic on our hands!

Moose hits .348 against the NL, and .156 against the AL.

Moose bats .350 at 5th, .200 at 6th, and .114 at 7th. I really think we have a goddamn mental midget on our hands!

Moose bats .111, .077 and .105 in the third, fourth, and fifth innings, respectively.

Moose bats .077 with RISP.

Worst Franchise in all of Professional Sports. **** David Glass, **** Dayton Moore and **** Ned Yost.

The rest of those stats were kind of funky, but this one...Oh my God.

Okay it's time to completely abandon the team now. I got thru May. Whoopee!

Time to focus on OTA's and Training Camp...

ROFL

You're really great at encouraging suicide.

Must suck being a Mizzou fan.

:)

I was at the game tonight (free tix and free BBQ). There was absolutely no hope of winning even driving into the parking lot.

Quickly down 3-0, it might as well have been 12-0.

The most promising season in a decade, and we are once again an embarrassment of a franchise, a nationwide joke, yet another season over by the beginning of June. I have Cardinal fan friends who dont even pay attention to baseball until August.

Im about ready to forget KC even has a baseball team.

how do you get free bbq?


really. i'm hungry.

28 years.

After further review of last nights game, we still suck ass.

Team reord for consecutive home losses.

Guy sitting next to me at the Rangers game Friday: "Are you guys Royals fans? Its okay if you say 'yes'."


Drunk guy who saw the shirt I was wearing while leaving the stadium after the game "So, How 'bout that 'Moustakas', huh?"











shit

Shouldn't the GM be falling on the sword by now? I meaning, really, what's he waiting for?

I thought we would have some semblance of optimism for this team through July.

David Glass' yacht fund to suffer.

****ing fire everyone

Bump.

Does anyone else feel sorry for whomever the Royals draft?

Don't feel so bad royals, my white sox have 2 home runs since may 22 and Adam Dunn has both

If they get paid for playing a game,no.I feel sorry for us working bastards who would like to go a game but refuse to spend money on this crap product they call a professional baseball team.

No. I feel bad for me and for my Royals Brethren. No matter whom we draft, he shall be doomed to failure under the watchful eye of Datein Whore

Time to send Moose and Hos to the Minors so they can learn to hit a curve ball. Hos with 1 homer-lol- what a joke. Puig with the Dodgers doubled his total in 2 games. It is time to stop with the Moose ears and Hos bobble heads and face that they are just Not that great of players.

What other team names a part of their stadium (Moose Landing) after an unproven rookie. Has he ever even hit a ball close to there-lol

Send them down together and maybe by next year they will learn to hit- they have seen enough plate appearances to know they are way overmatched. Not even Brett can help them. So long guys hope to see you next year.

I always see those people on TV back behind home plate and think " why in the HELL would anyone pay that kind of coin for this crap product?".

Story hot off the AP about that Cleveland Reliever Asshole Chris Perez. I hope they nail him. What a poopstain:

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Drug agents are investigating a narcotics delivery to the home of Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez, authorities said Wednesday.

Rocky River Police Chief Kelly Stillman said city officers, a regional narcotics unit and postal inspectors were involved in Tuesday's operation to investigate a delivery to the Perez home in the lakeside Cleveland suburb.

No charges have been filed and the matter remains under investigation. A message seeking comment was left for Perez's attorney.

At a news conference Wednesday, the chief said the operation likely originated with a package that appeared suspicious to postal employees. ''They took it from there,'' he said.

Officers with a search warrant took evidence from the Perez house, according to the chief, but the seized items weren't specified.

Whatever was contained in the ''controlled delivery of narcotics'' must be analyzed at the state crime laboratory, according to the chief, who stopped short of speculating what it was.

''Depending on what it was and how much it was, charges will be filed accordingly,'' Stillman said.

Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said in a statement that the team had talked with Perez and was ''gathering additional information.''

Manager Terry Francona, addressing the situation before the Indians' Wednesday afternoon game against the Yankees in New York, said he had reached out to Perez to check on him.

''I spoke to him this morning, called him, just wanted to make sure he was OK,'' he said. ''Out of respect to everybody involved, that's really all I can say.''

The Indians' often-polarizing closer has six saves this season, but is on the disabled list with an injured right shoulder. He and Cleveland fans have gotten on each other's nerves over the last couple years, and he recently deactivated his Twitter account after hearing it from fans following a couple of bad outings.

In previous seasons, Perez has criticized fans for not coming to games, and ownership for not spending money on free agents.

The right-hander was supposed to start throwing again this week. Francona said he wasn't sure if the investigation would affect Perez' injury rehabilitation.

''I don't know. I honestly don't know,'' he said. ''Let's not only go one day at a time, let's go one hour at a time here.''

"YOU CAN'T SEE ME!"

Oh, yes we can, Chris. Yes we can.

No kidding. Someone in the marketing department needs to be fired. If he does well, you can market the hell out of the Moose thing, but you can't do it before he proves himself.

What? No game thread for tonites game?

The wheels have definitely fallen off haven't they.

The bandwagon is on blocks. Also it is on fire.

fify

Anybody know the rest of the 18 players that MLB will be name in the Biogenesis deal?

Hosmer getting a shot in the 2 spot tonight. Perez 3rd, Esky 9th. Didn't catch the entire lineup.


From Duffy on twitter:

Danny Duffy ‏@DannyDuffy805 2m
Omaha bound.

JFC - Yost has to be pulling his ****ing hair out trying to figure out who to bat 3rd in this shit lineup.

That is good news. Get here fast so we can tell Wade Davis to go **** himself

Its probably been at that point for a while now but I get what your saying. This season for all intents and purposes is over.

If your a die hard...you can take a couple months off and check back in late September/October, for the annual end of season tease when they go on a mini surge to get the glutton's for punishment back on the bandwagon for NEXT YEAR.

This thread is so depressing.

http://www.cavstheblog.com/wp-conten...1/sad-cat.jpeg

Lineup tonight:
1. Gordon
2. Hosmer
3. Perez
4. Butler
5. Moustakas
6. Cain
7. Lough
8. Getz
9. Escobar

It really doesn't matter much, because you're basically trying to hide too many bad bats in the lineup. You can do that with one, maybe two, but 5-6 is too many.

Having said that, Hos at 2 and Esky at 9 makes sense -- finally.

How about flipping Moose and Lough?

But like I said ... too many dead spots to really make a difference.

KK was railing on Glass with Jack Harry this afternoon. Saying the guy who owns Sporting should buy the Royals.

True, Glass has been total suck as an owner. But I trust KK as far as I can throw his Lasik altered, wife leaving ass.

I'll bet he'd love to stir up the shit, have Sporting buy the Royals so he could get the radio rights away from Entercom. And every time you hear him talk to anybody in authority, whether that's David or Dan Glass, or Clark Hunt, he turns into a softball lobbing kiss ass.

What a douche.

Hahaha. What a loser.

At this point it doesn't matter. Draw the lineup out of a hat. Hosmer looked totally lost at the plate last night. He and Moose both need to spend from now till the All Star Break in either NW Arkansas or Omaha. I'd send them both to Springdale and make them earn their way up to Omaha. This season is toast, so it really doesn't matter. Play Billay at first, Tejada at third for the next six or seven weeks. Who cares?

Butler won't be seeing any good pitches with Mouse hitting behind him. I don't understand why you dont put your good hitters together and HOPE they do something. The rest of the line up are pop ups, strike outs and maybe an ocassional easy fly to the out field.

Gordon was dominating at #3 why not leave him there??

I threw this question at Rany on twitter: If the Rangers offered you Profar for Shields and Mondesi would you do it? and if the answer is no what about Santana and Mondesi?

Shields I would be on the fence, the Santana deal in a heart beat.

That is where I am as well. I would pull the trigger on the Shields deal if I new the owner was willing to go get another pitcher next year in FA. It would have to be FA since there wouldn't be much in the farm system.

Then your rotation could look like:

FA
Guthrie
Ventura
Duffy/Paulino/Davis/Dozer

Why in the world would Texas trade the #1 prospect in all of MLB (and who's playing fine in his first year of MLB at a premium position) for 1/2 season of Gopher-Ball Santana and an A ball project?
