Kluber never gets it done when we need it
This faggot comes into your stadium and gets on your base
What do you do?
wHit is so dreamy~
game over
CAIN???
Might be too late for this but
Good night sweet prince ;_;
Can you not throw them right down the middle of the plate every time
Kluber's got trash stuff tonight no way they don't score more
>>68512217
He'll settle in. The question is if the offense will show up tonight.
>>68512217
Depends, Indians pitcher in general give up most runs early and then settle down, Kluber is no exception to that. If they could get some early runs it'll help Kluber but offense has been shit lately.
another fucking popup
>>68512249
>>68512265
everything is up or away, he's not working the whole plate and it's terribly predictable for the hitters
holy shit unbelievable Gomes
lel that has to be like the 6th GIDP of the series
>>68512171
This should be remade into White Merrifield Roulette
Or the Merri-Go-Field
Or something not horrible
jesus no one on this team wants to win

>>68512360
Apparently not.
oh my freakin god are you kidding
>errors

holy shit no one at third ?!?! fuck this team is dead
Back to the cuck shed, Clitland
>>68512360
21 games in 20 days but that shouldn't be an excuse. They're playing just to get to an off day vs a division rival.
>>68512406
where were you last week fag when you were getting swept in 4?
>>68512422
That many games really tired out a team and they had to travel across America
It's a brutal grind
But at least it's early in the season and not in the end
>>68512448
literally creating the game threads you posted in
>>68512448
I was where youre going to be
>>68512486
theres no apehoop today. they have a week off between every game for some reason

and disappearing by the end like a fuccboi

oh jeez, espn.com fooled me again
i'll delete my post and find the exit in shame
sorry
>>68512498
they not teach math in methsouri? 4game sweep > 3game and they'll be tied for 1st
grinding for hits
>>68512475
There's a longer stretch later in the season because of a makeup against the Red Sox which has me concerned, but gotta get there first.
Frankie pls
ugh this is bad
Ugh
>>68512538
I was saying youre going to be in the void no matter what. Say your goodbyes now because when KC runs away with the division youre going into the blackness
>>68512339

>17% chance of post-season apperance
>>68512774
>I rate fangraphs
>>68512784
PECOTA agrees too. Who knows, a Methfan might bomb Progressive Field and kill every Indians player, then KC will guaranteed make the post-season- if the Tigers don't streak as hard as Royals do.
>>68512784
>not going by fangraphs
Those percentages don't just change
The Indians have the best chance because of their hype and how well they have been playing
Napoli needs a lesson on the strike zone so he stops looking at strikes
>>68512713
i'll always be here and you can suck my cock
It's a bad stretch right now for the Indians not unlike the one the Royals just had. I don't see anyone running away with this division.
not sure we've been swept yet this year

The Indians have been swept against Phillie
Kluber holding it together for a game he doesn't have his best stuff and the """defense""" letting him down.
Can >we please get a run or two for him?
Anyone else going to Friday's game? Tribe should rebound against the whos
>>68513043
oh yeah I was thinking maybe against the Mets but thought we won one against Philly. We were going through a slump like now against Philly and couldn't freakin score
>>68512835
538 has the royals at 32%. Personally I think that is much closer to reality as nobody in the division will get over 90 wins most likely. I would guess closer to 40% given our propensity to defy stats sites

Why are you upset that he thought you were from MO, that's where the Royals are and you defending them implies your a fan, which means (most likely) that you're from Missouri. Also, idk why you're proud to be from Kansas, you fuckers can barely drive.
>>68513139
not even close to as bad as ohio senpai
who has been the better pickup

>>68513162

Most of the meth crap is in Independence, which most people who make over 30k a year avoid unless you're going to rally house for player's autographs or the mall, but who goes to the mall?

Oh well, still going to be number one in the division.
at least I don't have to care about maintaining first place anymore wew that was stressful
MOTHER GOD DAMN FUCKING SHIT WHY THE FUCK
if the tigers win tonight and tomorrow that tie the division with the Indians

Shitposting when your team is losing... but I'm sure this comment will only further your argument in your mind.
>>68513574
I've not been butt hurt at all, this is my first post
>>68513551
Bandwagons always are, plus they've been BTFO in the season series so every win matters.
>>68513586
I'm gonna agree with anon on your apparent butthurt.
>>68513479
What sucks even more than this will be the lazy "fans" who will just use this as an excuse not to come to the ballpark this weekend.
A few bad games erases any good will, which just isn't fair.
>"Whit can hit!"
im trying to make this a thing guys so spread it around please
>>68513574

>posting bait
This is the first instance of baiting
>>68512406
>>68513598
Are you jealous your team isn't good enough or likeable enough to have a bandwagon? Also why are you autistics so worried about other people liking something you like once it becomes popular?
>>68513618
>team not likable
That's nothing to do with being bandwagoned
good night """klubot"""
>>68513618
Thanks for proving the point.
>7-3 in season series
Keep shit talking.
>>68513645
If it's not likeable people won't bandwagon, why would they jump on something they don't like? Pretty stupid, bro. Seriously actually think about things.
roylels fans didn't even stick around to shitpost last week when getting btfo
>>68513663
I would love it if you explained how I made your point. ;)
>>68513681
Winning is all that matters mate
At least the Indians have more real fans than bandwagon fans unlike cucksa city
>>68513705
Of course not, because they didn't like it :^)
STOP THEY ARE ALREADY DEAD
>>68513705
So you're showing how much of an Indians fan you are by sticking around in a sports thread that's getting shitposted by the winning team, that's some serious logic.
this weekend will be cozy
The Indians will BTFO of the white sox and I'm camping
>>68513718
Yep, because it really matters to me how the rest of the fans here act, sorry I'm not autistic and worry about what other people do and think.
>>68513754
The royals won't win the World Series every again ;)
>8 earned runs
What did Kluber mean by this?
>>68513754
You said it yourself, you're only here because they won a title. You'll jump off the bandwagon just like you did earlier in the year. The sport means nothing to you, which is fine but it makes your shitposting pointless.
>>68513705
Didn't really see Indians fans trying to instigate it then when the tables were turned but it's whatever.
Not all Royals fans are like this though - shoutout to the ones from the AL Comedy Central days.
GG kc
Sweep of the whos incoming
I'm going to take a break from funposting to say that these threads are infinitely better than the threads that the royals btfo the white sox
At least the Indians fans are willing to throw some bantz back our way
>>68513797
>rest of the fans
That implies that I'm not a bandwagoner... didn't I post my baby pic earlier in the thread? I'm wearing a Brett uniform, you have a Brett uniform from childhood? No?

welcome to /sp/
>>68513900
I was just trying to explain why people bandwagon and how I can understand why they are. Also trying to find out why people care so much. Lol
>>68513933
Dubs responding to dubs.
>>68513910
Got no run support last year because we had too many dead bats (Swisher and Bourn most notably, Gomes was actually good coming into the season but had an injury that knocked him out for half the season) and having to pitch perfect every game wasn't sustainable. He's still elite but most pitchers can't keep a game going when given 5+ extra outs. It's a garbage game, all there is to it.
>>68513924
/pol/ memes always have been and always will be shit desu. It doesn't even make sense.
>everyone who shitposts is a bandwagoner and everyone who doesn't is a lifelong fan
I'm going to shitpost as much as I can because in about 2 years I probably wont get the opportunity again until I'm 50 years old.
>>68513981
cuck was a /pol/ meme 2 years ago. just because you don't like it doesn't mean it isn't widespread and used often on all active boards

>Lose games and no where to be found
>Win games and it's highest octane shitposting
I don't really care, but it is retarded.
>>68512774
Trusting predictions prior to the AS Break. Predictions in general. The Royals are a team of odds beaters. 0.14% chance at coming back from 7-1 ring a bell?
>>68513910
Defense choking to incredible levels, really bad ump calls on choice pitches, Kansas City offense at home, Cleveland offense at all, etc.
Basically baseball.
>>68513984
I mean you don't have to shitpost just cause your team is good but it's your prerogative. I'd rather focus my energy on being excited about my team than looking to be an asshole.
>>68514054
>Trusting predictions prior to the AS Break.
They're projections, and only because they've proven to be mostly accurate.
>>68514042
Eh, I get where you're coming from but for most of them they're just excited something awesome is happening with our city and just want to be apart of it. Most of my male friends who aren't into baseball couldn't care less about the Royals, girls are the worst with bandwagoning, even if they don't know shit they pretend like they do. At Power & Light during the 2014 world series I heard a girl say "Who's Hunter Pence, is he the pitcher?"
>>68514071
>trying to be an asshole
I swear this place is almost entirely reddit now. Getting people mad at you and waving your dick when your team is doing well is the lifeblood of /sp/. Truly cancerous shitposting comes from fanbases that are as outrageous and confrontational when they suck dick as they are when they are good
>>68514129
I guess what I'm trying to say is that the bandwagon fans are mostly early 20's girls who are into it just because it's in style, idk about these 4chan doofuses tho. If you aren't worried about style/fads or baseball you probably don't give a shit about the Royals
>>68514167
this
Girls (and blacks) are bandwagon, guys are fairweather. My ex-gf bandwagoned the fucking miami heat when lelbron was there and then switched to being a cavs fan when he went home. That alone should have been redflag enough lel
>>68514137
If that makes me Reddit then so be it. I'm fine with shitposting when it's done in retaliation. Throwing first strikes when things are going your way and being almost non-existent when they're not seems pretty shitty to me.
>>68514129
I empathize. I'm going to speak for the rest of the Tribe fans and just say that for one reason or another our threads intentionally ignore shitposting. We focus on our in game/season accomplishments and failures and with most other posters get along with them, even when we're BTFOing or getting BTFOed. Has nothing to do with being "reddit," personally I just don't give a fuck about childish city posting and other bullshit, I just want to appreciate the game.
>>68514200
I agree with this 100%.

This is because males are by nature more loyal and have more of an emotional connection to their sports teams (especially when their fathers were fans of the same team). When their teams are complete shit for years, they just become more apathetic and at worst just ignore the team.
Honestly getting swept and a rest day will probably wake this team up and at least it's not a shutout. And >>68513479
Last year this happens I'd just be mad but I remain optimistic
>>68514246
I come here for the game talk, I stay for the different city perspectives. I don't really care about that silly site war, maybe back when I was 19 I cared whether or not it was a "reddit" comment but now... not. Shitposting comes with it, trash talking is inevitable.

>>68514360

the chiefs will always hook me just enough with their mediocre seasons and postseason chokes

I didn't post any of that but I didn't say no Indians fans shitposted. Obviously you're going to get shit if you stir it up, which is what I was pointing out with who initiated it.

They always reel you in with the possibility but always ultimately underdeliver.
>Brother and I saw Alex Smith at First Watch
>Neither of us could say anything but "uhhhhh h-hey."

I feel like we will never make the AFCCG until we actually draft and develop a legit QB. The last several decades of relying on used up journeyman QBs has been a failed experiment

>They always reel you in with the possibility
If you honestly thought Andy "what is a clock" Reid and Alex "check down" Smith had any possibility of a superb owl then you don't watch enough football.
Tho it also makes you the same as most Chiefs fans
gg indians
dont mind the shitposting so much. you guys are still the least shitty fans (that exist) in the AL central
PITT STATE REPPIN' NIGGUH
>>68514500
Except there are recent superb owl winning teams on both sides of that graph and the
>failcons
are first so who fucking knows
Not really a GOOD game but good job with the sweep. Next time will be a competitive series.
So this series was shitty and thankfully it's over with an off day tomorrow.
See you later, Royals. Hang in there, Tribebros.

this wouldnt have been so bad if we could have won last night
kek Salvy
>>68514562
I believe the graph is saying wins the team has while using a qb they drafted so Favre wouldn't be helping the failcons
>>68514500
Agreed, they just can't compete with the Aaron Rodgers and Tom Bradys.
>>68514593
nah its not. matt ryan only has 75 wins so there is no way its limited to QBs staying with the team
>>68514588
I think Joel is getting annoyed by the Salvy splash
>>68514623
Then the graph is kind of pointless for anything other than finding out which teams won the lottery with their qb picks.
>>68514636
Joel can suck it up, he gets paid to watch and talk about games without having a background in pro sports.
>>68514668
I hope he accidentally calls Salvy a spic or something so he gets fired and they hire a qt like Hoz's gf to take his place
>>68514709
Isn't she supposedly a jersey chaser? Also, I could go for a hot chick rather than joel. Anything has to be better than his slight lisp.
>>68514764
She used to be fucking the chifs backup qb Aaron Murray but she wants the star not the scrub
