ROYALS vs Cards game 1

@Crimsonorblue22
bit = 
-
@globaljaybird Ned gets the pig
outta his 
& pulls the homer king it’s still a winable game. After 3 freaking walks & all those warning 
️ track flies, even Ray Charles could see it.
-
11-3. Oh well. I don’t care who he is but Gordon needs to be sent down and bring up a hitter. Wouldn’t even keep him around for a DH. Esky isn’t doing much better at the plate. Both 0-4 and each had 2 SO’s. Neither one appear to have a grasp of the strike zone at the moment. Esky was swinging at
over his head yesterday. Guess we shoulda been sellers and not buyers. Looks to have been a wasted effort.
-
@brooksmd play boni!
-
@brooksmd @globaljaybird Right on point. That’s my pet peeve in baseball: why do managers not immediately pull anyone who walks in a run? I was cringing the entire time…
-
You must be sore
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Lately, a semipermanent condition!
-
@mayjay Bullpen maybe new but just not improved…that’s my take. No reason to sandbag whatsoever after not using half those guys for several days. Talking heads went on & on how rested they were…What’s the holdup
-
@Crimsonorblue22 You see Da Melk Man go deep? Hud called it when Melky showed bunt on the previous pitch …
-
Yes, a miracle esky got a hit!! Long slump
-
Esky not as fast as last year!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Just half-assed oops I meant half fast …
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He was 0 fer his last 25 …
-
Sad ass game
-
@Crimsonorblue22 sad series.
-
@dylans Quickly becoming a sad team.
-
@brooksmd makes me sad too
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Sad ass bullpen for sure…even the damn cat thought so.
-
@brooksmd On the bright side, though I’ve only caught one rainbow in 3 days, I saw a beautiful bald eagle
this morning about 
yards away. He swooped down right at water 
level & land on a perch in great view of the overhead south shore bluff. Summer time is hard to see them with the trees 
in full foilage. My view today was perfect.That 300 ft bluff is pretty barren in winter so much different then. Fishing also 
whole lot better then. October is spawning time if the water level is normal, but with power generation drastically changing daily, the spawn always dies. Heavy rain 
️ ruined the entire Spring season this year. Finally improving the past couple of weeks. Heat has moderated somewhat so early mornings are nice 
.
-
Hey guys! We r ahead! So far…
-
I’m backing off after that throw to 2nd from moylan, brother!
-
Well Ned once again you’re late to the dance. Hammer should’ve been gone as soon as he hit the batter. I’m sure Ned has the stats the talking heads showed us on opposing team BA once Hammer goes past 70 some pitches. Well horse
, let’s throw this one away too. When’s CBB start?
-
Should’ve been 3
-
@brooksmd Cain is on
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Melky a sucker fr high (ball four) fast ball
️ Me too when I was a kid … 
-
Lay down and die?
-
Have to say that GS wasn’t unexpected. I’ve seen enough for tonite. ttfn, gn…
-
This bullpen has henceforth been exposed. Molina flat ass owns KC. O & D both ! Even if we still had HDH we would have to get far enough to get to them. Moyland, Minor & Alexander can’t make it up that far. Felix & the other retreads won’t either. DM really missed the cut on this one . Being waaaaaay too thrifty for Mr Glass IMO September 1st we may be in full unload mode-While I will be saddened I won’t be the least bit surprised. 6 with Cleveland later this month will seal our fate
-
Royals have not given up even if we have… tying run at 3rd withLoCain at the plate.
-
@globaljaybird come on Cain!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Since SALVY has been on the DL team has gone to complete & total
!! Ned’s poor decisions now show up like turkey 🦃 poop on the end gate rod. He literally was a laughing 
stock before 2014. He used to deny he was Ned Yost, manager of the Royals, at local 
️ bucks & gave a Joe Smith (Alexa Jo Mama) alias when other customers would question his prevy day decisions.l so he wouldn’t have to talk with them at the time .
-
My wife (Royals fan) was visiting her mother in Missouri (her mom is a Cardinals fan, along with her two brothers, two sisters, nieces nephews etc.) during the four-game stretch. They’re all Mizzou fans too. I grew up in Illinois, so I’ve been a Cubs fan for half my life and followed the Royals for the other half (my AL team) when we moved to Lawrence in 1990.
So after four days of watching games with my mother-in-law, my wife FINALLY understands what I’ve been telling her about Cardinal fans for the past 30 years – sore losers, but even more insufferable winners.
-
@DanR did you know all that before you dated her?
Must be love! Holidays would be tough! Saw on the news those kids climbing on the wires on the Golden Gate Bridge. Cheaper than Hawaii, plus fines though.
-
Sisters in Blue on a mission from God. Funny bunch.
-
@brooksmd been outside, what??
-
@brooksmd KABOOM
MOOSE ON DA LOOSE #2 tonight!!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 @globaljaybird No, been watching. Not sure why, but been watching. Don’t hold much hope here in 9th but I’ll stick it out. The 2 dingers by Moose the only high points. Nothing from rest including pitching staff. Start a petition to fire Ned.
-
Might as well start dumping the FA’s and move all the minor leaguers up one level.
-
@brooksmd saaaad situation!
-
ttfn…gn
-
I hope Yost retires after the season as Dayton will not fire him, he is below average.
-
You really think that a manager that has made the Royals (a team with average talent at best) relevant again and has taken the team to two world series winning one of them is below average?
-
@JayHawkFanToo do you really think the Royals have had average talent at best the last few years? I am not following them closely enough to be sure, but it seems like a team that has stockpiled prospects for a decade should have better than average talent.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Hoz, Moose, Salvy, Cain, Gordon, Duffy, Davis, are all above average, I can name a few others
-
If you look at the payroll it is about in the middle. Yes, it has done a great job developing talent but it has also lost players that it should have kept; Wade Davis. come to mind.
For the talent and payroll it has, the Royals have overachieved, wouldn’t you agree?
People seem to be like yo yos when it comes to the Royals. They were way up when the team put together a winning streak and now they are in the dumps when they are on a losing streak. The baseball season is like a marathon not a 100 meter dash. Whats was the predicted finish for the Royals and where are they now?
-
Every team has several players that are “above average” but that will not get you very far. How many of the Royals, other that Salvy (injured) and Moose (this year) and maybe Hoz and Duffy are really elite or close to it? Wade Davis was elite but he is no longer with the Royals, right?
For the personnel the Royals have, most people will agree they have performed at the very least as expected or even overachieved; I believe they have indeed overachieved.
-
Bummer
-
@approxinfinity Ned poorly managing the pitching!
-
El toro ole! Finally!
-
@JayHawkFanToo I was referring to above average and not Elite players as were you in the earlier post and both will agree that Royals had several above average players. In addition I was talking about the past, back to back world series, that you had mentioned in your post, and not this year. That is why I had included Davis. We had a dynamite bullpen, HDH, going into 7th with a lead would be an automatic win, Yost did not have to do much. Fact of the matter is that Ned is a below average manager.
