****Official Royals @ Mariners Gamethread 6/23****
 

JGuts on the mound.

This game, or Astros/Angels is the "regional" game on MLBN tonight.

For the Illinois folks, I am in Bourbonnais and Royals/M's is slated to be on MLBN.
Hopefully it's the Royals feed.

I'm in Green Bay.

Fingers crossed.

If you go to MLBN and look at the bottom right corner with the timer, what teams are listed?

Whatever game it shows on the timer will be the one shown in your area.

I just got some bullshit work education training done at home. All in on this game.....until my bedtime.

It shows both games listed.

Wow that's odd, here's what mine looks like:

I checked the guide, rather than the actual channel.

I'm getting the ****ing Astros and Angels game.

Glad it's "regional" coverage.

Blacked out here. AGAIN.

**** MLB.

Can't get MLBTV to load tonight. Anyone else with this issue?

Mine is up and running.
MLBN has the game, but it's Seattle's feed.

I don't have MLBN. I got it working but with current player and not previous years for whatever reason.

Good start boys

Sox take the lead over Minnesota 3-2 mid 7.

Well this is a nice start.

Shocked he didn't go for two there.

Doesn't matter now, I guess.

EAT SHIT MONTGOMERY!!!!

Mr. Hosmer,

Please kill this ball.

Love,
C3HIEF3S

Bases loaded for our cleanup hitter. Whatever you do, don't swing at any strikes.

Worst at bat by Hosmer all year.

Hosmer frustrates the hell out of me sometimes.

That was sad.

So much for that. Shit.

Bases loaded & 0 outs = 0 runs.

F A T

Bases loaded no out?? Morales is one slow fat ****...

That inning was a complete abortion.

Kendrys butler again. **** him

For the love of Christ

Did that really just happen? Why are we so incredibly shitty with the bases loaded?

Nice AB turd. Lunges at 1st pitch. Professional work.

Yeah Morales is just terrible. Only leads the team in rbi.

Just ****ing wow...talk about a choke

Checking in for morale support!

Well Hosmer isn't fat and couldn't touch wood to it.

With that said, that was terrible. But don't act like he's been bad for us this year.

Hosmer was trying to hit a grand slam and Morales thought he was getting a first pitch fastball and got a changeup instead. Morales needs to be more patient there, but Hosmer deserves the most hate. No excuse for that lack of plate discipline.

This.

Morales is far from terrible, but thats swingon the first pitch was completely reeruned

Hopefully we get good Guthrie and not dog shit Guthrie tonight.

Not terrible.. just slow and fat.

Good try, Gordo. Keep it in front of ya.

When on the current player does it resort to going back to the start of the game after every half inning? Mine does and it's ****ing annoying. I have to keep hitting live so I don't get stuck waiting for a commercial break that really isn't there. LMAO

Those weren't home run swings. If anything, he should have swung at the first pitch. It was the best pitch of the at bat.

**** Nelson Rodriquez.

Well, it looked to me like he was trying to pull, regardless.

First baseman saves a double and they give him an error...

Omar will deliver. I can feel it.

Rios's swing is a mess. His ass makes a beeline towards the visitor's dugout on every swing.

Some real shit at bats from Rios and Infante there.

Feelers might be a little off.

What a ****ing choke fest

4-2 Sox

I have never had that particular issue, but I have had plenty with the new player.

If I have one gripe about MLB.tv, it's that when they release their new, updated players they are often buggy to all hell. In 2012-13, they had a simple player that you could add a NEXDEF (dvr) plug in as an option. I never did, but that was by far my favorite player. It was simple,you could set the quality yourself or have the player automatically set it for you. Little lagging, perfect.

Last season, they introduced a new player (currently the "previous player"). I ****ing hated it. It seemed like it would never settle on a quality-setting, but it would try to play the highest quality, or it would go to a black circle with the spinning circle in the middle. But, they allowed us to go back to the player from 2012-13 (nexdef), so I didn't really care. Now this year, they took away the nexdef player for good, so I am forced to use last years main player. Whatever, nothing I can do and it still beats searching the internet for streaming sites.

Then I find out there's another new player a couple weeks ago, I was pumped. Come to find out, it's buggy as shit. It has gotten better since release, but I can never get it to not buffer constantly. When I open up the old player and it runs fine. I wish they would stop trying to fix what isn't broken. Now I can't stand the new one and have to go back to the old one because I hate the newest one more than the old player from last season. I just want the player back where I could set the quality myself.

tl;dr- first world problems

Wow, huge cut!

lol

Pathetic

So.... bases loaded and 2 on no out. Zero runs... yeah that won't bite them in the end.

LMAO

It's like this team has never seen a breaking ball before.

5 LOB with no runs after 2. Pitiful.

So far, this feels like one of those games where we get 15 hits and 2-3 runs.

5 guys on base in two innings, 28 total pitches and no runs. What a weird first two innings.

Wow. A guy that doesn't strike anybody out just strikes out 3 in a row against a team that doesn't strike out

5 LOB through 2 innings.Quite impressive

Montgomery keeps using his slider, curve, change, and the Royals keep fishing at it. It's obvious the Royals are sitting on the fastball, but not being able to figure out what Montgomery's doing is pretty pitiful.

Gotta love baseball sometimes

If we're lucky.. it's going to take a hit batter and a balk to score some runs with the bases loaded.

Can't hit the offspeed.

I don't know how the Royals don't score 100 runs per game. Every player is red hot and will continue to hit or they are due. Everyone is also capable of a home run unless they get a bloop single which is the next best thing since that will automatically lead to a hitting streak.

Time to hit a come back straight at Montgomery's head. **** that piece of shit, couldn't do shit while he was with us yet all of a sudden figures it out.

These are the things that make you scratch your head.

Guts showing some wheels off of the bump there.

Well.. hopefully the Mariners pull a Royals here.

I'm pretty sure I would've crushed that terrible 3-2 pitch

Can the ump still advance a runner from first to home on a ground rule double if it's very clear he would've scored if the ball stayed in the park?

.155, ouch.

How do you hit .155 with 7hr?

Moose was probably putting something similar to that up last season.
