***Official Royals vs Indians 8/25****
 

Vargas vs Merritt

No gameday thread? Well I guess this IS a Chiefs forum.

Really need to sweep this series to make up any meaningful ground against the Indians. They are very injured, but we are a somewhat injured team as well.

Moose is out with his knee injured, he was seen limping, but will probably play through the injury esp. vs righties.

Go Royals!

Runner on second no outs? Pretty much have to try to not score leave him stranded...

Poor baserunning decision by Merrifield cost an out, that could had potentially got a run.

Poor decision (not bunting) by Merrifield cost an opportunity to advance Gordon to 3rd with one out.

Merrifield is having a tough day, I get that, but as a team, this kind of pattern is what makes it frustrating. Could had gotten 2 runs in.

Dammit Alex....

Of course they pay for stranding the runner immediately.

Good job alex, good job whit. We'll have to have another comeback win.

Gordon with the doinker off the glove. Solid job by Melky, too. Practically playing on the warning track with Gomes up.

:Lin:

Damn. That Gordo mistake is killer.

Have a guy batting .288 bunt a runner to 3rd in the 3rd inning of a scoreless game? :spock:

In during Chiefs commercials.

This is just sad. This team has a core full of world series champs with all hands on deck, and they can't beat out the shitty twins and angels for the final wild card, who aren't even trying to win this year.

Offense has the aids tonight.

If I didn't know better the Royals players look like they know they aren't supposed to compete with the Indians right now.

Love to have one of those baby blue hats.

Gordon with his best game in a while.

No offense against the Indians again.

Of course!

If you were guaranteed the 2nd wildcard right now would you take it, or prefer to fight the rest of the season with a chance of the division?

As of right now I'd definitely take the 2nd wildcard. I believe that's where we will fall, anyway

I don't see a playoff team.

Complete non-effort from the Royals offense.

I'd rather have the division but that's not happening.

I don't think they do either.

20 posts for a gamethread against the Division leader. Yikes!
