I'm sure this thread is gonna be fine
>no Davis
Hope he didn't hurt himself last night diving into that scrum yesterday
>not the first reply in
How buttmad are you
i would always be the first reply but I have a post cooldown from posting the link in /mlb/ general
>Eutaw Street
>No Church of Latter Day Saints in sight
Who's getting plunked tonight
>Bore Dick
>"Yorlando"
Jesus fucking christ when can we have Gary and Jim back? Enough of this shit.
Hopefully not another catcher's tentacles
Manny did nothing wrong
Alcides Escobar has not been on base once all year, but we still bat him first
Just Yost my shit up
Bet he gets a standing O when he goes up to bat
By the way, this is not 30,000 fans. Just so we're clear.
#Thrillman
Yeah, that was pretty harsh
>Tillman
>No first inning spaghetti
Huh. Neat.
Everyone is still across the street at the Hilton or Pickles drinking beer
Nobody is at that Hilton, be real
Volquez has some pretty nice movement on his fastball.
Will be interesting to see how the O's do against him.
You just gave me a flash back to that 40 pitch first inning he had last year in that double header against Pittsburgh. God that was awful, between that and that shitty $12 Heavy Seas 2,131 beer i was drinking there
you guys were praising esky meme magic last season
He does that sometimes, then shits the bed in the 6th
This year though he's been a boss
You never pregame at the Hilton bar?
well it was a meme after all. plus he was actually hitting better. teams have adjusted now and never throw him anything good on the first couple pitches
>Memechado
...didn't he do something in 2014? For the Pirates?
Can't remember
>Umpball
Jesus christ that thing was a foot off the plate.
Robot umps when?
>C.B. Bucknor
wew lads
I just noticed Tillman is at 13 pitches with 4 outs
someone mentioned perez delayed his reaction to machado charging to make sure he got a shot in on ventura
The only time I've ever set foot in that hellhole is during con season. It's an eyesore and it doesn't deserve business
Actually both that strike 3 to Machado and that one to Orlando looked good to me
Yeah, the skyline used to be so much better from the ballpark until they put up that fucking monstrosity.
Same desu
I remember watching a game with the A's in 2012 from there
You going for BaltiOta's last hurrah?
Well I imagine it would be during bronycon or that weebcon shit they do there. They usually have an outside area set up where you can get drinks thats nice, plus my neighbor works maintenance at the Hilton so if he's working or goes with us we usually get a drink or two for free. To me it beats the crowds at Pickles, Sliders or Dugout
I really hope this isn't a "offense used up all their power the day before and will do nothing" episode.
>good
Well this is an actual starter
I'm just calling it as I saw it from my TV screen nerd, I don't have all your fancy computers and sabermetrics.
>Kansas City in charge of bunting
I thought small ball was their thing?
are you kidding me
FLASH A-AH SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE
I hate these meme teams like KC
>tfw the Royos hit like 5 home runs today because Hunter won't shut the fuck up about it.
Nice defense though.
>Brad Brach has an .8 ERA
Why not just have him pitch all game?
I suppose I have to. Im not going to DC or wherever the hell its moving to
This fucking meme strike zone is making the hitters swing at everything
Can this ump pls go?
>Swinging at ball four, twice
LHH they are both getting the same strike zone. RHH there isn't a KC pitch in the area to verify but it looks the same as the one above to me. Just a little lower.
Bucknor has been voted the worst ump 3 or 4 times by players
The first one might have been strike three, though. This ump is ridiculous.
Worse than Angel Hernandez?
I don't know which con center it's even going to. Might not bother myself.
Only DC con I can deal with is Katsu.
KILL THE HILTON
REVEAL THE BROMO SELTZER TOWER ONCE AGAIN
Magfest is pretty alright
According to player polls yes
I feel like this should be a real petition
Been meaning to hit that with muh Jersey bros when they come down.
This desu
>Jim Hunter- confirmed pedophile
So how many innings we gonna go tonight? Volquez looks in top form tonight. Tillman is holding off the Royals quite well.
volquez will implode in the 6th dont worry
Doesn't surprise me.
Tillman's curveball is a thing of beauty. It's a pity we don't see more of it.
Is there anyone on the Royals who isn't a manlet?
...
>Walking Schoop
lol wat
>Ventura 6-0
They made a mistake and posted his ERA
the bases would be loaded for flaherty
FLASH FLASH FLASH FLASH
>Ryan Flaherty gets his first two Major League RBIs
Beautiful.
fucking royos
well ok then
>The red hot Ryan Flaherty
R3spect
>first major league hit is CLUTCH
i knew true love was worth waiting for
>the city of james shields
wew at least I can be happy at something today
JONESY
*5th
HITTING MACHINE COMES THROUGH
HYUN-SOO GOAT
holy shit he threw that like a fucking bitch
why are the royals so fucking gay
can't stop Kim you can only hope to contain him
...
>tfw will never win again
>the shitty of kansass
>royals
>not an embarrassment
>suck my dick you fat fucks
pick any one
Will the Royals ever recover?
NICK GOOKAKIS
Wanna see Manny hit a dinger just so he can glare into the Royals dugout as he goes past
You're all pathetic. All these pictures of other people's achievements and what have you done? What's your claim to fame? You think chien-ming has a picture of you on his wall with your hand down a toilet wrangling a turd? He doesn't even know you exist. You might as well take that gun and put it in your mouth and blow your brains out.
>Kim literally doing it all
I love this guy, I really do. It takes a special kind of player to have the kind of shitty spring he had, get booed during his introduction (classless fans, ugh), ride the pine for the first month of the season, and then produce like this. I hope we haven't alienated him to the point where he won't consider an extension if he keeps this up.

~~If u can't handle me at ur worst u don't deserve me at ur best~~
Let me tell you something, I've been watching this game for 30 years, and no rookie has ever impressed me as much as Kim has. I've seen all the greatest. I've seen 30 World Series. I've seen it all man. Kim has that something special that I've only seen in very few players. Players that are sitting in the Hall of Fame right now. Players that kids and men aspire to be. Kim is special let me tell ya.
thrillman thrilling
>This is unironically the best starter on the team
Tillman has engaged beast mode.
Or maybe the Royos really don't give a fuck anymore and just want to go home.
Have the Royals fans all committed sudoku or something?
there is still time for dripping...
Does anyone have any pics of Tillman with glowing eyes?
