What in the world was that AB
CAGS
Vinnie: vidi vici
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
Picked a heck of a day to stay off social media for a while huh
Another book on a polar expedition, another 5⭐ rating from me. I really enjoyed the writing in this one, absolutely gripping at times.
This didn't matter so it's more of a fun* fact: The Royals had 9 batted balls above 97mph and they went 0-9 on them. *Your definition of fun may vary
Make it 0-4 on four hard hit balls with an xBA above .500. It is the third inning.
Royals have three hard hit balls with an xBA above .500. They are 0-3 on them.
Jensen makes it two phenomenal PAs from rookies this inning
Cags you beautiful man what a PA
Luinder Avila with the Good Stuff.
Losing this one makes a 4-3 road trip, at minimum, pretty much required.
Not sure Vinnie actually saw any of those pitches.
Garcia with the angry batflip after that walk
I know these aren't egregious but come onnnnnnn
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
The Royals best player isn't even playing tonight.
First MLB hits are just the freaking best
Cags earned that one
Royals have to salvage the weekend for half the KC fanbase
No idea what JD was doing this last drive, bailing clean pockets, not throwing it to the 15th row
Really rough game from Lance
Not calling a TO before the warning is another mark in the coaching blunder column
JD throws another dime and 1 forgets how hands work
JD, buddy,,
Surely this will be a normal quarter of football
In no universe was that catchable
You got two points by cheating you're not allowed to say anything
Bad play calling but at least the defense also looks awful
Well that's a stupid way to end a half
OPI on the ref
That was such a freaking DIME man
JAY DEE SIXXXXX
Completely pointless review!
Idk maybe show who recovered the football?
WAVE IT AGAIN
WAVE IT
Oh so we're in for a weird one huh
It's incredibly toxic! And it should've stayed dead!
Prayers up for this household today
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
This strike zone has been a disaster all night
Bobby probably had to poop
Maikel a Certified DUDE
Yeah I'm not getting another subscription for a regular season NFL game
If the Royals sweep the Twins while facing Pablo Lopez and Joe Ryan I will assume they're going to win the World Series
#HEYHEYHEYHEY my goodness did they need that
Superstar struggled and nobody picked him up. That's a dreadful loss.
Oh hey another hard hit out that's new
Followed by two terrible PAs from Grichuk and Bobby.
That's a phenomenal PA from Isbel
Royals are 1-5 on batted balls above 100mph. The jokerfying intensifies
Well this was a bummer of a read. Great book, just sad.
Feels like they need another RH bat to balance things out, but I dig it
The Royals are probably gonna need one or three guys to go supernova down the stretch so I appreciate that they are trying to increase the chances of that happening
Lugo's command problem spread to Wacha. Or maybe Wacha is just sleep deprived on account of the new baby
Trying to explain to my kids why the newspaper is making me laugh so much
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
Bobby. Bob. Bob.
The number of factually incorrect things said in the first four innings of this nationally televised game is astounding.
I'm sorry does Salvy have corn rows??
You CANNOT swing 3-0 there, man
Royals have three outs on batted balls north of 105mph. Tigers have three hits on batted balls under 78mph. I'm going to become the joker
Woof
I do not tell lies
There have been six batted balls in this game and that dinger had the lowest exit velo
Again,
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
The biggest difference-makers acquired at the deadline were Mike Yazstrzemski and Adam Frazier. I am not a crackpot
There are two types of people in this world: people who love Salvador Perez, and sociopaths.
Royals had it all the way, perfectly normal game
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
Really hoping those two ABs from the top two hitters don't come back to bite them.
This book was... fine? Fascinating if not all that necessary. Also I was irrationally annoyed that like 75% of the pages had footnotes.
I know it may not end up great for KC but sign me up for a playoff series between these two teams. Fun games with tons of action.
#HEYHEYHEYHEY
Lugo's command is horrendous
I'm sorry but you can't say something is "handmade by robots." Words mean things
Vinnie is on some kind of heater, man
The look Adrian Beltre gives Elvis Andrus 😂 (via Rangers)
JD6 back??
Royals have the eight hardest hit balls of the game tonight. Four have gone for outs.
Very delayed makeup call for the Torres walk I guess?
If you wear #4 for KU you are obligated to score touchdowns
I've got a few more on my to read shelf for sure
Idk how I hadn't read this before, but my goodness it's incredibly written. Harrowing stuff, continuing to confirm I want nothing to do with extreme cold weather adventures.
Don't love throwing the white flag by making Falter wear this tbh
10 balls hit at least 100mph. Seven outs on those.
Also the production on this game is trash.
Just all sorts of dumb luck.
So the Tigers have supplanted the Guardians as the luckiest team in the division huh
Royals have put 15 balls in play through three innings and 10 of them have been hard hit.
Bergert's slider is eating the Tigers alive so far. 6 thrown, 5 swings, 4 whiffs.
What I had a view of from my hotel room this week: Target Field What I did not have a view of from my hotel room this week: any Royals baseball
wayfair,, thank u
