*** Official Royals v White Sox 10-1 Thread ***
 

It's going to be a bit nippy come game time (PBJ) so let's do this....

With Medlen at 5-2 and Danks at 7-14, and the bats waking up, the numbers are in our favor...

I won't profess batting order, but here's what I can gather as our starting lineup.

Escobar - SS
Gordon - LF
Cain - CF (We'll see, that was nasty last night)
Hosmer - 1B
Perez -C
Moustakas - 3B
Rios - RF
Zobrist - 2B
Dyson - LF
Morales - DH
Medlen- P

Medlen's last outing sucked.

Let's keep it positive please Sir...

In. I hate Danks, but I think Medlin will bounce back and keep us in this game

Next person who leaves "Official" out of the game thread title should be banned

Anything like the first post about Medlen should be bannable as well. The game day thread shouldn't be given bad mojo right off the bat.

Sorry, but the numbers are never in the Royals' favor when it comes to facing John Danks.

GloryHolez with the worst Royals GDT OP in CP history.

Hopefully we can ****ing win 10 to 1.

The Nedlander is so smart & intuitive. He put Escobar back at the #1 hole, and while he went 0-5 yesterday, we won the game! So it must work!

In it to win it!

Blue jays are losing! Let's finish 4 and 0 and bring the pressure to regain homefield

Fixed.

LMAO

Way to keep things positive.

Hope the boys win tonight I hate the White Sox.

I don't really care anymore TBH as long as we win.

Rios scratched with a stiff back. LHP killer Gomes in.

Be nice to bitch slap the White Sox in our last meeting of the year

Get a win tonight and leave town flipping the White Sux the double bird.

Hoping for a foul ball to Hawk's pussy

Esky!

Great start...

Place is packed and excited for some baseball!!!

I'm listening on the radio and I'm assuming there's 12 people in the stands again?

If......

****ing low wall

Yay and Arrrrrgh!!!

THERE'S ONE. LET'S GET ANOTHER

Oh, and Melky is not good in LF

the moose is loose!

see, that's where the Umps should have allowed a 2nd run. Melky would have score easily and the rule doesn't state only 2 bases allowed.

I like what I'm seeing...

Link? I'm confused. Was he beyond 2nd or something?

I still like Melky. Wish he was still a Royal

Hosmer telling Melky he's not gay.

and medlen begins his 2 out leg shiting

Rough start.

That's on Fever for mentioning a quick inning.

Link??? ground rule double new to you?

What a leg shitting

Announcers jinxed this by mentioning the 1-2-3 inning.

Not at all, that's why he was stopped at 3rd. what part of that don't you get? Why were you thinking the Ump should have let him go home?

the ump can make the assumption the runner would have scored from 1st and allow him a 3rd base..it's happened to us.....so go familiarize yourself with the rule, re-read my post then get back to me

Paulo homo - all he does is make plays, man

as long as it doesn't require catching pop flies in RF :D

You're wrong. Runners get 2 bases from where they were when the play started. There is no umpire discretion allowed on ground rule doubles. You may be thinking of fan interference.

The Ump did exactly what I've always seen done - and with the ground rule double that means man on 1st stops at 3rd just like we saw happen. It's not hard, you just have to not whine about everything that's ever once happened under extraordinary case some other time. (If you're suggesting the Braun play) But this one was textbook ground rule double and like me, the Ump was right.

Just pipe down and watch the game.

7.05
Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance --
(a) To home base, scoring a run, if a fair ball goes out of the playing field in flight and he touched all bases legally; or if a fair ball which, in the umpire’s judgment, would have gone out of the playing field in flight, is deflected by the act of a fielder in throwing his glove, cap, or any article of his apparel;
(b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril;
(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.
(d) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a thrown ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play;
(e) Two bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a thrown ball. The ball is in play;
Rules 7.05(b) through 7.05(e) Comment: In applying (b-c-d-e) the umpire must rule that the thrown glove or detached cap or mask has touched the ball. There is no penalty if the ball is not touched.
Under (c-e) this penalty shall not be invoked against a fielder whose glove is carried off his hand by the force of a batted or thrown ball, or when his glove flies off his hand as he makes an obvious effort to make a legitimate catch.
(f) Two bases, if a fair ball bounces or is deflected into the stands outside the first or third base foul lines; or if it goes through or under a field fence, or through or under a scoreboard, or through or under shrubbery or vines on the fence; or if it sticks in such fence, scoreboard, shrubbery or vines;

Close.... But I didn't see anything that would turn it over...

He's got great hair.

it's happened to us

He gone.

I wonder if Chris Young is still in the mix as the #4 in the ALDS? Not that I'm unhappy with Medlin, just curious what everyone thinks. Young looked very refreshed last Sunday

Eh it's 40 degrees, windy, and they have nothing to play for.

ROFL

Fever and I on the same page. Not good.

I guess quoting the MLB rule book isn't enough to convince Pete he's wrong.

me and my lying eyes....

That ball took a bit of a left turn. Cool!

I'm assuming you have a link or a vid of it? Or are you making shit up again? He literally quoted the rulebook for you

Wicked ball

Get hot Moose

The moose is loose times 2

Good to see Moose shoving it on Danks

nah, I just totally imagined it up on my owns just so's I could bitch about it

You're going to have to destroy the ball to hit it through that wind tonight.

BOOM-SHAKALAKA!

There we go.

Oh **** yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gomes

This a good...

There's the lefty killer

That's why guys swing at first pitches in those situations.

Got it. It's your word vs the rulebook. I'm sure you're right

More two out runs...

yeah, the 1 out of 5 times it works supports that :D

jonny gomes is mr.clutch city!

way to tell everyone you started that night what you thought of them, ned

I would love an animated GIF of that WWII vet enjoying the ovation from the crowd. That was amazing.

Ump kinda gifted them a runner, heh
