Royals @ Tribe- Series Thread

• TBone14

  

  I haven't done a thread since we were rolling in May. Maybe I can bring some mojo back. Gotta get 2 out of 3 minimum here, but really need a sweep. Royals sending 3 goons to the hill. All likely to throw no hitters though.
  
  Friday- Francis (3-11) v CC (8-8)
  Saturday- Paulino (1-8) v Masterson (8-7)
  Sunday- Davies (1-9) v Carmona (5-10)
  
  Royals starters in this series are a combined 5-28. It is now or never. Go Tribe.

  Curious to see where Fuk u homie hits. I'm guessing he will lead off with his good OBP, with Brantley and AC following.
  
  We definitely have the piching advantage....but will we hit?

  I'm sure we won't sweep the shitty royals. 2/3 would be nice though.
• grodt

  

  We gotta take advantage of the shitty pitching and not make these guys Cy Young winners for a weekend.

  Heading up to the game tomorrow....first one in a couple years. We usually win when I am there so I'm feeling good about it.

  Fukodome batting 6th. Kearns in left, Fuk in right, color me unimpressed with our outfield. At least Santana is playing 1st and Marson at catcher. This is going to be a long 2nd half...
• Wooball

  

  Francis is LH correct? That can be the only reason Fukudome is hitting 6th. At least I hope so. Why would you get a high on-base no power guy and put him in the 6 spot?
• grodt

  

  I'm pretty sure Fukodome is in right and Kearns is in left. I'm surprised he's hitting so low in the order. What's the point of having a high OBS guy if you're gonna hit him in front of Hannahan Kearns and Marson?

  How close will we be to .500 after this series?
  
  Hope TBone can turn it around.
  
  WooBall: Avatar looking good!!!!

  Acta said he wants to get Fukudome adjusted to the new team before he leads him off. Said he wants to give Carrera a few more games leading off, then will switch if needed

  Sounds like the Tribe is close to getting Ryan Ludwick

  Read this earlier today, then that the Ludwick deal may get delayed until the Hunter Pence deal gets done. The Padres obviously are trying to milk as much as possible for their pieces.
• Crimson streak

  

  Awesome down 2-0 already
• Laley23

  

  3-0. fuck. Lets make this Pence deal happen, without giving up Pomeranz!
• Laley23

  

  Fukodome will fit right in. Ks twice in his first AB. Umpire felt bad he was in Cleveland and called the first a ball.
• BRF

  

  One step closer to .500. Can we make it to August first?
• wes_mantooth

  

  heard that the Rockies were asking for Brantley and another top flight prospect for Ubaldo Jimenez....lmao

  Asking price will come down. Question is, when it comes down, do the Rockies just pull the plug?
• Laley23

  

  God This is one of the worst pitching performances I can recall in recent memory. I could hit some of those pitches!
• bases_loaded

  

  lol...nice CC..going to get someone killed
• Laley23

  

  Manning letting CC have it, and well deserved. Hafner is gonna get blasted to start the next inning.
• BRF

  

  GD! Hearing that GS caused me to lose a life on Brickbreaker! SMH
• Footwedge

  Carrasco is a fukkin punk, He should be suspended for the rest of the season without pay. It's one thing to lose your temper for pitching like hsit, it's another to aim a heater directly at someone's head.
• Glory Days

  

  We owe the umpire a thank you. god only knows how much longer that shit show of a pitching performance would have lasted.
• BR1986FB

  And we want this team to be "buyers", why? They have about as much life as Amy Winehouse right now.
