4/2 Vs. Royals

[Tony-OH]

Who had Cole Irvin giving up three runs in the 1st two innings, with his only Ks being Bobby Witt Jr.?

Irvin is absolutely terrible. I think Elias screwed up not going after another starter. I mean you have absolutely no idea what you'll get out of Means and Bradish.

We basically have two quality starters. Kremer is ok and an innings eater. Wells, I think is better suited to the pen.

[Roy Firestone]

well...it was 3-0 KC last night too...something tells me it wont be the same kind of game...

Probably because bad weather is on the way -- and Cole Irvin is pitching.

Praying for a rainout

Irvin getting nailed..nobody fooled...

 

Apparently he has fooled at least Witt. 2 ks.

Alright another 3-0 hole to dig out of. Let’s go Birds!

Cannot agree more.

I think we may see McDermott or Povich on the bump in Baltimore this year

Would you want to be out there tonight? 49 degrees and misting? God bless those who went tonight. No way I'm going out there and sitting in that weather to watch a April baseball game.

I've done it before.  That being said, I was much, much younger.  Current me is just as happy staying home on a night like this and watching the game warm and dry.

Better get those bikes cranked up tonight.

These guys look like they are straight out of Kauffman’s  development academy in the late 60s & early 70s.  Speed, speed, and more speed. 

[Beysbol]

Just tuned in and I’m not surprised Irvin is getting smacked around.

Maybe if he makes a contribution then I will.  But in a month no one will probably remember he was even on the team.

It’s the Royals.

what are we going to do against a good team?

Watched the pre-game bit about the new "celebration", ie. motorcycle handlebars. 

Looks too much like that thing that KC did in '14 in the postseason. It's been done. I don't care either way, but Frank The Tank that Mounty did some last year is far better.

And remember, if they had reasonable defense last night, we would’ve lost.
