****Royals @ Cardinals | June 29****
 

Royals can't win on the road. Cards can't win at home.

Volquez vs. Martinez

Morales in RF tonight. Let the fun begin.

Lets play some strategy-ball!

Make it out of St. Louis alive and call it a successful trip to St. Louis.

Cuban Breakfast muy caliente.

Les do this baby! Get the win.

Great. Eddie has no idea where the strike zone is.

I suspect he'll find it soon. Right in the middle of the plate.

EV is finished

Looks just like last game after one batter. Can't find the zone.

And if he does, the blind ump calls it a ball.

Cuban Breakfast perfect in the field.

That's a strike. A breaking ball that doesn't break, but still ends up in the strike zone is still a damn strike.


ROFL easy does it, Kendrys.

Well that's about right. First contact goes right to Morales. That's baseball.

Every time. Good thing to get it out of the way early.

Not bad. He was so wild on that first batter I thought we were in for a long inning.

Well that's a little bit better than giving up 9 runs.

Is Martinez wearing a lunch lady hair net?

Watching pitchers bat is so amazing

The trainer is getting a bit heavy.

Talk about on fire.

K-MO!!!

Cuban Breakfast showing the leather.

LOOK AT MORALES!

Thought that was gone by a mile. Mo-man dialed it in.

/hat tip

Gold glover, Kendrys Morales.

I wonder what kind of route Nori would've taken to that flyball? Not as good of one as K-MO just took.

Morales getting it done

Morales carrying the team!

Who doubted my boy KenMo's ability to play OF?

Me. Definitely me.

This is great, however. ROFL

Martinez just reminds me too much of Simon Phoenix with his blonde hair.

Morales should be the full time RFer.

Oh yeah. Me to😄

Looks like our AIDS offense made the trip.

Yeah for NL ball and rally killing pitcher batting.

Sure would be nice if somebody other than our 7 and 8 hitters would start 2 out rallies.

I don't know what Peralta is doing playing that far off the line with someone who is an oppo slap hitter.

Don't care. Pitcher should hit. Period.

Boy that was exciting!

Pitchers batting is soooo stupid. Can't the NL evolve past that at least.

GTFO. AL rules with DH are superior.

Pitchers get a zillion days off. No reason for them not to take some BP. There are plenty of pitchers that hit well in the NL.

I've always thought the NL was a better game due to the pitchers hitting.

More strategery necessary.

Sorry if the expectation is that someone actually be forced to field and hit their position.

Disagree

Pitchers batting is not fun, pitchers getting hurt while batting is worse

Come on!

It's like asking a QB to throw it and catch it, too.

:D

Non pitchers never get hurt batting

I never feel more clueless while watching a baseball game on TV than I do with Physioc commentating.

Have fun watching turds hit and even worse players have to play in games because of the shit rules.

Royals broadcast crew is terrible (tv and radio). I always listen to the opposing broadcast, if possible.

He's awful.

Because nothing says sport like swinging a bat, going back into the dugout for fifty minutes to watch tape while everyone else is playing, and going back out to hit again.

I stream most of the games and mostly have opposing announcers. They all are better than ours. Very noticeable.

Such irony. I love Wong and Garcia as UH Alums. Yet they both play for the Cardinals

Don't throw Garcia anything good to hit.

Watching pitchers hit is the equivalent of seeing kickers in the NFL trying to play defense. Once in a blue moon you'll see a kicker lay a hit on someone or make a great tackle, but the majority of the time it's a snoozefest.

Garcia taking on 3-1 hitting 8th was damned stupid.

Really?

Are you from around those parts? I can't imagine growing up/attending college in Hawaii, that would be something.

Counterpoint: If pitchers don't hit. Colon doesn't ruin Shields' career.

Because everyone stops to watch Alcides Escobar bat.

Also, if pitchers don't hit, we don't get into this argument every year with the same people. LMAO

Clearly we get to watch the superb defensive outfield play of Matt Holliday and Morales. Instead of seeing players like Grichuk and Orlando tonight. And then top off when players like Pete Kozma and Dusty Coleman have to play and decide games. Real great baseball there.

Yes sir. Born and raised until I was 14. My dad went to UH so they were my first sports love. Grew up spending every weekend in the spring at Rainbow Stadium.

They did in the WS last year.

EDIT: Scratch that, the postseason the last two years.

We have gotten the third batter of the inning on sith two outs in each inning so far. It would be nice to get the leadoff guy on.

I can think of at least 5-6 pitchers I would rather see hit than Alcides Escobar

But by that logic, the NL would never win a WS

Yes. You actually have to use your bench. A novel concept.

I cannot wait to see the strike zone map for this game. This guy is ass awful.

That's cool to hear about. I have always wondered because of your avatar.

👍

I don't think you'd want to see Grichuk playing right now.
