@globaljaybird Looks like we sink or swim with Cueto tonite. Not the choice of either of us and I think I can safely say not the choice of @Crimsonorblue22 either. But then we aren't being paid the big bucks to make that decision. Wonder if it's really Ned's choice or somebody told him it would be Cueto? See you tonite.
I think Johnny comes alive tonight and puts it together. The crowd is going to will him into a great performance. I think by the 6th inning when he does his little shoulder shake we will all just be able to sit back and enjoy "Johnny being Johnny"
@clevelandjayhawk I hope so!! There will be no rope tonight, if he's off, he's gone. Better earn his 💰 tonight!
Didn't he start weak and finishd strong on his last outing? Hopefully he cans start strong and deliver 6 solid innings...
Pulling for the Royals, but don't have much faith in Cueto, but then again, this McHugh on Houston isn't exactly lights out either, even though he has a 19-7 record.
@wissoxfan83 How about the Cubbies? Great pitching staff, 3 rookies starting and some kids that flat knock the hide off the ball. The one Schwarber parked on top of the video board in RF was absolutely amazing. Be surprised if they don't make it to the WS. If they do they could win it all.
Johnny Cueto vs. a guy who's won 19 games and already won game 1 in KC. I feel good about tonight! Go Astros!
@brooksmd I think @globaljaybird is at the game!👀 !image.jpg ↗
@Crimsonorblue22 I have pajamas made of the same stuff.
Morales had 2 dingers off Mc Hugh last time they met...more tonite ?
@Texas-Hawk-10 you should probably stay in the dugout for this one!😉
So nervous! I did hear Stayin alive on the way home!💙⚾️
I wish Johnny would look to the sky Louis Tiant style.
@globaljaybird You got a fresh stock of CB?
Pitches lookin good!
Whiff!
Could this be the Johnny c we thought we got?👀
@Crimsonorblue22 Tiant used to always roll his eyes up to the sky when in his windup.
@Crimsonorblue22 hope so
@globaljaybird zobrist has the best 👀!
@globaljaybird I meant crazy moves
Attention Royals, helps if you make pitcher throw more pitches.
Oh Hoz, you've spoiled us!😡
💩
Hate always playing catch up ball.
Valbuena hit a nice HR there.:sunglasses:
Fresh banana nut bread gettin ready to come out of the oven too...
16 pitches after 2 innings. Way to wear out the pitcher.
Did anyone spend an hour and watch the 7th inning of the earlier game?
@wissoxfan83 yep! Crazy
@wissoxfan83 You talking about catcher throwing ball off hitters bat?
@brooksmd Yep, and three consecutive errors, and ejection, and two bench clearing arguments, and another replay review, and a runner taking out the catcher on a slide, and etc. etc. It was quite the spectacle.
If the Rangers hadn't choked it up, that ball off the bat play would be talked about forever.
@wissoxfan83 I want them!
Cueto getting ahead of hitters really helps. Just need some help.
Go big stick!💪⚾️💨💨💨
Time for the DEEP ONE ...
If not Hoz then Morales...
Dat speed!💨💨💨💨💨
Cain is Abel
OK we'll take what they give us ...
Go big boy!💪💪
Shoot
Laid back moose huh? 😳
Need mooooooose and gordo to step up!
Cueto! Not saying a word!😉
Hit the ⚾️ and 💨💨💨💨💨
@globaljaybird Boy's don't seem to be doing much farming tonite.
Really need to get to McHugh this inning.
U guys there?👬👀
I'm watching, Crimson! LOL. Been standing up a lot like last last year during the tense games.
Rios! Perfect hit!
Alright boys, foot on throat and stomp.
So glad I've never said a bad thing about Rios out loud
Great job royals!! Play D
@Crimsonorblue22 OK... Maybe when I thought he was going to get Cain killed in the outfield.
Let's go Royals clap clap clap clap clap!!!!
12 outs away!
9! KU vb up 2 sets to 1 up in 4th on fox sports midwest
@Crimsonorblue22 I really am diggin that thought process ... now 9 !
@Crimsonorblue22 farming ? "Swingin at shizz in the dirt" - a line from Brewsters Millions...
KU girls won, 18-0
That's the most emotion I've seen from rios!😱
To low!
Same spot
More hits please!🙏
So, what'd you think? Leave Cueto in?
ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Big Jump!
Wouldn't hurt my feelings this last time we see Rasmus.
YEEEEAH Q!!!
Need yo get a zobrist shirt
Let's go royals !!!
Q wanted that last one. Shake it off big guy.
Deep breaths
6!!!!!!!!
Great sign: "Here's Johnny!"
@globaljaybird Is it Tabasco time or leave Q in?
@Crimsonorblue22 ... 6 more ...
Damn! THIS is the Cueto that Royals fans have been waiting for.
@nwhawkfan and paid for!
@nwhawkfan He couldn't have picked a better time or place.
Want some insurance.
Yeah, he probably just earned himself another couple of million on his next free agent deal.
There is your farmer @Crimsonorblue22
Rios still using that short bat.
@Crimsonorblue22 Esurance?
@Crimsonorblue22 six more up - 6 all the way down & out...
@Crimsonorblue22 You'd probably say ok if it was Salvy. :smile:
Gotta keep the ball down big guy.
Is this the deepest a starter has gone all year for the Royals?
FIVE
FOUR
4 !
Love the ground outs. Dude threw what, 6 pitches?
THREE
Oh my! Wish u were all here!💃💃💃👬👬👬😎🎉
Bullpen now, or let him finish?
Dang, I can smell me some Crown 75th. Let's go guys.
Don't run off after game!
@nwhawkfan Finish.
@Crimsonorblue22 You can have lemonade.
@nwhawkfan let him finish play the hot hand. I have no idea!
From the hugs it looks like Ned isn't going to push it. Q looks like he's done. ESKY!!!!!!
Is this guy related to the duck dynasty guys?
Wish Yost would have left Cueto in. Needs the total domination mojo.
More runs please
@Crimsonorblue22 you been whisperin to Esky again ?
@globaljaybird u know it!
I like beards but trimmed up
I think Dallas is headin back to Houston...
@Crimsonorblue22 Well whisper to Cain and Hos.
💕💕💕
Up till tonight my favorite Game 5 was 20 years ago this week when the Mariners came from behind to knock out the Yankees..
Would love to see one clear the LF fence.
@nwhawkfan Any game 5 or 7 that the Yanks get takin out is my favorite.
Morales due!
A double should get 2.
Big MO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And that should get 3...
Big swing with the tiny bat
Excuse me while I run to the liquor cabinet. BRB
Morales is gonna hate to see Houston leave town !!! Just call him DINGMAN !!!
My son and I just screamed over the phone to each other! So happy. So far!
Let's just hope Brownback hasn't tweeted texass gov!
@PublicanPAT: @610SportsKC A Let's Go Royals chant just broke out on Bourbon Street!!!
Everybody with twitter accts should tweet the TX gov. after these last 3 outs.
Royals bats sponsored by Viagra.
Let's go Davis. No foolin around. TCB
!image.jpg ↗ raincoats are out for media
TWO!!
2 more, please?
ONE!
1 more?
Yowsah!!!!
PAULOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ROCK CHALK ROYALS!!!
@Crimsonorblue22 Paulo replaced Rios in RF.
Salvy needs to 🚿 cueto
Who got stepped on and was limping when they rushed the field?
Congrats, I don't hate the Royals at all, they are my #2 team, but I was raised in Houston an Astros fan so they are always my top team. I guess I'll be pulling for the Royals the rest of the way now.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Now you're talkin.
Congrats Royals fans! 1985 ALCS rematch coming up!
@Crimsonorblue22 Takin' one for the team.
I want that shirt!
Royals - Blue Jays. 1985 redux?
I think wed might be a day game
We need you fans again!! So glad to have u all! We r not done yet! We do have fun!
👑👑👑👑👑
My friend photographer Jeff Moffit is on the field right behind Salvy shootin pics.. Go to moffpix.com tomorrow or the next day & see what he's put out there...he does excellent work
Amazing it all worked out, we were 'bout to give up!💙💙💙
Lord, I wish I was in KC right now. Must be nuts. Watching KMBC-TV online right now.
@globaljaybird had those last time too
@globaljaybird Is that Salvy with one in each hand and one in his back pocket?
@globaljaybird Magnums of champagne.
One more time. Billy Who?
@clevelandjayhawk you called it w/cueto
They're dancin' at Power & Light!
@nwhawkfan ch 5 has the presser on live now
Fox sports Midwest covering now
Bet HUD is nuts!
@globaljaybird Did I just hear that Q put down 19 in a row?
@Crimsonorblue22 This game might be the one that makes Q the man he was supposed to be for the rest of post season.
Ned got the salvy shower
@Crimsonorblue22 Must be a really great feeling to win and be able to play with your kids on the field.
So Cueto starts Game 3, right?
Salvys wife? Gorgeous
@globaljaybird You know, I don't think Moose realized how much time he had to make that throw that resulted in extending the inning and Houston getting the hr. If he had realized the time he had he could've set himself better and the inning would've been over. It wasn't a fast runner.
Okay, time for a late dinner...see you guys later! Go Royals!
@nwhawkfan Yeah, I think my concession stand still has a hot dog or 2 available.
Interviewing rios
@Crimsonorblue22 Hope somebody tells him to get a longer bat if he keeps going after those outside pitches. But it's hard to rag on the guy who had the key hit.
@Crimsonorblue22 we may be old but we dang sure ain't blind ...
Like @Crimsonorblue22 said, thanks to everyone who showed up tonight. @DanR , @nwhawkfan , @wissoxfan83 , @VailHawk and of course the regulars who are here all the time. It was fun and what Royals baseball is all about. Got a tough series coming up with Toronto. So be here or be square.
@globaljaybird Boy, that Crown 75th is sweet. Got any CB left or you drink it all?
@globaljaybird Like I said, he couldn't have picked a better time to put it all together. Good thing Ned made the pick, cause if they had gone with our choice no telling what would've happened. :wink:
Well, GN all, wake up call for Rascal & me is abt 6:45. He likes his breakfast on time...talk to ya'll again Friday.
I mentioned that Cueto would deliver 6 strong innings, he did me 2 better and delivered 8...and he could have gone 9. I had friends over and it was crazy once the rally started...the Chiefs need to take lessons from the boys in blue on how to close games. :)
@Crimsonorblue22 What are you doing? Still talking to son on phone?
@globaljaybird awesome
@Crimsonorblue22 Why do the Royals and Hawks run us through the ringer like this?
@Crimsonorblue22 So, Fri nite, 7:00 on Fox network which is chl 8 here. As much as I like to see the R's do it at home, I'd be happy if they clinch it in Toronto. Get it over with. But what would be neat is win first 2 in the K, take one of three in Toronto and then finish it in game 6. Just do it quick and celebrate after.
@brooksmd That's what makes sports fun for me-is like real life in that you don't know how it will turn out & in spite of some little setbacks along the way, is just so-sooooooooo fine when it has the great ending you hope for. If not, it's yet a disappointment you just have to get through & become a better person in spite of it.
@Crimsonorblue22 There is likely some bad blood there somewhere. Bautista was once in the Royals organization & he & Ventura have a history on social media. Donaldson is also easily unraveled & blows of steam often. I thought the way Bautista acted after the dinger yesterday vs Texas was bush league antics. But that's just my take. When all eyes are there upon you, you should at least act professional like you've been there before even if you haven't.
@globaljaybird Agree 100%. I get tired of all the antics by players especially in NCAA and NFL football. I thought Q was very cool and composed last nite. I did smile one time somebody hit a ground ball to Esky for a 3rd out. It had just gone past Q and he was already walking to the dugout.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yep, Toronto fans really showed their azzes yesterday. They must be so proud hitting small kids with beer cans and bottles.
