OFFICIAL KANSAS CITY ROYALS @ CHICAGO WHITE SOX GAMETHREAD

Thread gonna be Ded Eition

Kennedy vs Sale are the Starters today.

First pitch 1:10PM CST.

Oh look, I can't spell for shit again.

Sale cy young hopes still alive for now

This is that time of year where sale gets shit on by the royals and all dreams are lost isn't it?

Probably. If not this start against KC, it will be the next one in KC, or it will be in Cleveland.

These last starts will basically see if the new sale actually worked, burning out less at the end of the year

Fuck.

It begins

Does burning out less at the end of the year even matter if he pitched like a burned out Sale for the entire season?

>pitched burned out all season
>threw a couple temper tantrums that made national news and missed a start
>still in the running for cy young

Insane

He's always in the running, burned out or not (lowest CY vote finish is 6)
There's just no stand-out this year. Pretty sure his chances are abysmally low though, he would need to close out the season with like 4 straight shutouts to win it at this point.

>abysmally low
not really, he should be in the top 3 but muh wins porcello is probably going to end up with it

The fact that he's on the Sox is what makes his chances low. To win these awards while not on a contender, you really gotta stand like a shoulder above the competition.

>Stone bullshitting Benetti

Dead offense
Dead thread

Just realized that this is the 2nd to last Sunday the Sox play at home. Wow.

What the fuck was that.

Bears have no offense
Sox have no offense

Nice Shit Sale.

Bears game good as over

Keep it up Sale

FUCK

One more run and the sale cy young dream is deder than ded

I'm starting to think it's dead anyway.

Let's all be real, it's dead cause of porcello

you guys are way overestimating wins here, even the voters don't care that much anymore

it might take a less than stellar start from porcello but Sale is definitely right up there, there's no way he's not

1 more out and he leads the league even with 1 or 2 fewer starts than the other guys. leads the league in whip, top 3 in Ks, ERA, fwar, bwar, wins

leads the league in innings

>leadoff double
welp

WELP

there goes that

Will the Royals end up scoring more than the chefs today?

OR NOT

RACK'EM

DREAM LIVES

nice

apologize

will he be back in the 8th to face his new arch nemesis hosmer

I hope robins not that dumb

but then again...

>1-5 soon

my god is this laughably retarded

this fucking season

Q has been replaced

>he's still out there
>leadoff single

ROOOOOBIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNN

This is like a slow motion train wreck

I changed over to the tennis match since I thought Sale would be done. Never underestimate Robin I guess.

Although I have to say, leaving Sale in for 120 pitches has been working out really well. Maybe luck, or maybe that's just how many pitches he can throw.

Holy shit the clench is real

>8 complete innings for Sale yet again
wew Robin

what a top lad

HE GONE

CONDOOOOOOOOOORRRRR

Too bad the 2 runs came on dongs, this start still hurts his FIP even though it's been great outside of those.

Final line: 8 IP, 8 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 12 K

in line for the loss unless this offense gets it head out its ass which it wont

but even if its a loss, based fucking Sale

>avishit1
>avishit2

>1 hit

Just imagine if Avila didn't get those 2 walks and Eaton didn't get that hit.

Is this somehow surprising?

No one lays down and dies for their own division better than us

>Ranaudo in the bullpen
Finally.

wait, whos the 5th starter then?

MiGo's back

Ooooh right. Duh

Nate pls

lol umps

die or die time

holy shit a hit

false hope time again

False hope intensifies

...

>slow fb down the middle
>foul

abroo pls

Double loss.

Well, time to drink some more.

losah

again abroo and notavi failed

>Sale gets the L again
channeling his inner Q and then some

oh fug I didn't even notice Kluber was pitching today, though he was a day after Sale

>7IP, 0R, 10K

he's definitely still the frontrunner
or porcello, not really sure how much wins matter still
but Sale is still within striking range

>no kluber or sale in this upcoming 4 game set
nice
