**** Official KC Royals vs. The Angels of Anaheim Angels 5/15 thread ****
 

Yes, I'm early, but this karma train is leaving, and you're either aboard or you're out! Note: you're not really out, you're welcome whenever. Except you, RedDread.

Let's get this Country Breakfast started! :thumb:

Wade Davis, RHP
2-3, 5.86 ERA
Davis hasn't won since his third start. In his four starts since then, he's given up big runs in three of them (seven runs twice, eight once). On Friday against the Yankees, Davis had good stuff but got too many pitches up and they got hammered.

In the world of shitty pitching, he who sucks least is king. Let's get it on!

IN like a mother!!!!!!

Just got home from work. How'd we look tonight?

In.

In for the win!

# 5 wants a run for each year of age for his birthday.

Let's atleast take the series. GO ROYALS!

In. Let's take the finale!

Bad.

I can get behind this.

Leggo Royals!

May the least crappy red beard win!

Actually Wade has a lower FIP and xFIP than Guthrie does. He's also slightly postive in WAR at +0.2 whereas Guthrie fell to negative territory last night at -0.1. Davis has been unlucky and Guthrie has been lucky but that evens out over a year.

We're hitting 3 longballs tonight.

Can we make sure RedDread is banned from this thread?

:)

Let's do this

Need the good Wade tonight! Go Royals!

Hopefully we pound this guy. The last guy we faced with an inflated ERA beat us -that guy for Baltimore.

gotta get that dub

If I'm running this thread, goddamnit, it's going to be GREAT. Updated some pitcher stats.

Detroit goes down on Houston.

Let's win a series. It's been too long.

Let's win one for fred white.

Fred passes. George's BD. let's win!

need to win this.

Updated with lineups!

ELL-E-UTT!!!

I hope we score a ton of runs with this lineup, keep frenchy on the bench.

Let's not suck tonight!!!

Go team go.

We better Win tonight or I will violate myself. I mean it!

Big Smoke checking in

Hope Davis is on tonight and our bats show up.
Lets win this series tonight!

How far do they let Moose's average fall before sending him to AAA?

So general question. Seems like something comes up during each game that I have to do and I have to miss 5-10 minutes of the game.

Which half of the inning would your choose to miss. Our at bats or our defense?

Win it for Fred!

If I have to miss for only a few minutes, I would rather be gone with us pitching.

In for Fred. A humble man who was one of the Royals' greatest ambassadors to the fans. It's hard to put into words what it meant to have him and Denny calling games as I was growing up.

With this line up, we will win.

And replace him with.........

Looks ELL-E-UTT got his Harley fixed.

Ditto, listening to the little tribute before the game I actually teared up. Brings back a lot of fond memories, pretty cool they are doing a half inning of silence.

Way to hustle down that line.

Good point.

So this half inning of silence got me thinking - how about we try permanent silence from the announcers?

This game needs more cackling in the audio feed. Not enough.

Very cool tribute to Fred. Moving.

Someone needs to put their balls in that bitch's mouth.

Gordon is raping the ball right now.

Gordon's turning into a hitting machine

And more drunk bitches screaming.

"THAT'S A BALK!!"

Weak armed bitch throw to first there.

Just missed it Billy..

Thought that was gone.

Damn looked like he crushed it

Less than a 20 pitch inning please

Thought he had the HR. Very good stuff from the pregame to the 1st half inning from FSKC

Wicka Wicka Wicka Way-Hey-de.

And Ryan almost lost it before the game.

This guy Gaybar always kills us...

Nice grab Moose

Nice snag.

Moose!

White Moose can't jump.

Cain's our replacement for Byran Pena. Hard not to like him

Why is Hosmer playing so far in with 2 outs and pooholes up?

Good start for Davis

Grandpa Pujols rounding the base.

Then kicking the dirt as if it caused him to nearly sprain an ankle.

Every inning like that's a blessing

Jesus, Hosmer is weak

****ing Schmuck

Moooose

I absolutely hate Hosmer's approach right now. I don't know what his coaches are teaching him, but every time he takes a power swing he is not even looking at the pitch.

Nice ****ing swing Moose. Nice hustle

Moose!

Atta baby Moose.

Nice hit Missy.

Moose is hungry

Salvy baby! PBJ PBJ PBJ

SALVY!

SALVY. Doubles in Moose
