I get my thread sucked for us yesterday, but I'm going for the series win here and someone else can help us take the O's that ain't Royals series. LFG

It's okay. We can't fire every thread starter just because of a loss or we won't have gameday threads.

LET'S GO ROYALS!

Won’t watch until Massey, Melendez, isbel, Renfroe, and Biggio start using Torpedo bats

ESPN ranked Bobby Witt Jr the #2 player in baseball and Brent Rooker #30.

Man, what could have been.

Why aren't they?

Ragans with 7 K's thru 3. Other than the solo dinger in the 1st, he's been a machine

9 Ks thru 4 IP now, but his pitch count is getting up there after those 2 walks.

Ragans had to do some work to get through the 4th (74 total pitches), but clocked another 2 K's for 9 total. We need to put some pressure on Peralta. Dude has been absolutely coasting so far after a small hiccup in the 2nd. This lineup just drives me ****ing bonkers.

Another 5 IP outing for Ragans (97pitches)

Another long inning, but no damage. Cole is gonna be done for the day (97 pitches). Looks like Schreiber for the 6th (bleh)

It’s amazing, our shitty outfield from last season was left unchanged…and is still shitty.

Royals would get cheap knockoff torpedo bats that actually explode. Hopefully, while Isbel is using one.

Peralta working from an easy chair today against our AIDS Olympics bats.

Al Bundy cries as Hunter Harvey keeps rolling

Harvey is looking healthy again. Pretty impressive so far.

This has been one of my bitches against the Royals for years. We can't put batters away.

This outfield is pure ass. Isbel should be no higher than a fourth outfielder, but he's probably our best guy out there. It's exactly the same situation the Chiefs had a left tackle last year - how do you go into the season thinking it's good enough at that position(s)?

So I know it's the beginning of the season and you want to give people work, but why do you take out Harvey after he retired three in a row? He can't pitch two innings?

This ****ing bullpen. :facepalm:

Lead off walk for Zerpa followed by a double. FFS

Harvey looked great. So our dumbbass coach takes him out. Apparently, he is saving him for the playoffs. Facing three batters was enough.

Zerpa out with 1 out runners on 2nd and 3rd, Erceg in.

I hope Erceg can get us through this, because Peralta is dealing and will pitch the 8th.

Giving our manager a new nickname. Backfire. Like all his decisions.

Good defense, India.

Wow! Jon India with the defensive play of the game saving that run

That was sweet. Now, let's get out of this.

Erceg and his big balls bail out Zerpa.

LFG now Offense!

Erceg has giant hairy balls.

99 MPH heater. Niiiiiice

That was awesome. Now let's have some offense.

Way to go India and Erceg!!!

Zerpa was going to be the call since it was the 8th, 9th, and leadoff guy coming into that inning. 2 of the 3 were lefties as well.

Peralta is ****ing nasty today. Man, what an outing.

we suck at hitting baseballs

Well, that's surely the last of Peralta.

If the Brewers come up empty in the 8th, I'd send Peralta back out for the 9th. There's been some hard hit balls in the last 2 innings, but the guy is hardly breaking a sweat.

Schreiber with a solid 8th. Let's go OFFENSE!!!

Bats? Where are yoouu bats??

Quite an approach at the plate today

India coming up big

I bless the stones down in India

HA!!!

India gets stranded on 2nd with no help

https://media.tenor.com/vpCPcxEuI-cAAAAj/john-tr.gif

Two shit at bats by Witt and Vin back to back, our 2 best pure hitters.

Guy throws gas but it’s straight with no movement whatsoever.

That’s the kind of guy (if you know your scouting report) you go up looking to first pitch swing if he gives you the fastball. Our guys let him dictate that at bat.

Oh good, extra innings with a man on 2nd.

Top 4 in our lineup are 1-16 with 6K's. SMFH...

Massey going to win this on his own

Massey! One of the few seeing the ball today.

2-1 Good guys

Tolbert is a smarter runner than Blanco.

Let's Go Carlos Estevez!!

I'm not a big fan of Renfroe, but he's had some absolutely brutal strike 3 calls against him this series

So much for that. :shake:

Welp, we are gonna need a few K's to get out of this one. ****ing A!

Can we inject Erceg's blood into these other scrub pitcher ****s? It may be our only hope.

Dunno if that was a balk.

Talk about a bullshit call ump. You should be fired for that bullshit.

Not sure HOW the **** he got out of that one, but he did . . . .

WOW! Can't believe we got out of that! On to the 11th :)

Charlie Sheen doing his thing.

that was some grade-a houdini stuff right there

Nice work by Estevez to get out of that inning.

Now put them away!

I was just about to say. High stakes magic act right there.

Holy shit

Nice work! Screw yourself ump.

if I'm not mistaken - this game sets a record for the most combined Ks in one game? Check that - no.

48 is the record. we're at 30

This umpire ****ing SUCKS

When can we start challenging bs strikes?

absolutely ZERO consistency. He's been trash, especially with that BS balk call.

Honestly just given us robot umps at this point

Probably about the same time we can challenge bullshit balks.

Sam "the royals won't be in the game for" Long

No! Constant errors in human judgement are what make the game so fun!

Pathetic

Welp.

OK, I've wasted enough afternoons watching Royals baseball this year. F that

Stupid

That was an excellent bunt. get 'em next time Rs.

See you Friday night

It was a long shot for us to win.
