Your Kansas City Royals: Scenes From An Italian Baseball Jaunt

Come on cap. Find a gap.

 

GIDP game ended coming up

 

Oh goodness, be a legend Jac

 

Frick

 

Damn. Such a tough read for Maikel. Really cool Bob got rung up after 5 straight balls (he did swing at 2 of them)

 

How is he swinging so high that he grounds out a pitch 4 inches above the zone?

 

Because his “coach” is too busy being mad online

 

I guess he’s like 6’5 as well that makes it more believable

 

12 is the longest home losing streak in franchise history.

 

And again, screaming into the void, beating a dead horse, but challenges are free, go out and scream that the ball wasn’t still moving and not secured in the glove till his foot was off the bag. There’s a 1 in 100 chance they actually see something but not doing anything is a 0 out of 100.

 

Almost 1 in 6 ABs this month are an infield pop up lol

 

No clue how, considering we haven’t won in a month, but Estevez still leads the league in saves (3 way tie at 22).

 

McDowell had an article this morning talking about no teams watch more first pitch meatballs than us yet we lead the league in chasing pitches out of the zone.

 

Would love to see the breakdown of pitches thrown with 0 outs, 1 out, 2 outs. Wouldn’t surprise me if we threw a significant amount more with 2 outs than the others combined.

 

Every. Damn. Inning.

Out
Out
(20 pitches and multiple baserunners later)
Out

 

Jesus fucking Christ. Just stand on top of the bases. No lead offs, no steals. This is pathetic.

 

KC and the Nats just lapping the competition

 

Maybe that swing will get Isbel back on track. More of that.

 

Maybe that swing will get India back on track. More of that.

 

Maybe that swing will get Bob back on track. More of that.

 

Maybe that swing can get Vinnie going. More of that.

 

Maik’s double earlier was a HR everywhere but KC and Pitt.

 

What’s infuriating is that the potential for a hit and run offense is there but they’re too dumb and inconsistent to make it happen regularly

 

Really good moment for Lynch to paint

 

That Rushing guy isn’t having his best day.

 

Don’t wanna be too reactionary but does Jac need to go down to tee off again, get some confidence back? I know the pitching quality is obviously much different but he looks lost

All this said if he’s not gonna get a new hitting coach

 

Pasquatch having a day

 

As is Bob and India. If Q told the three of them to get 9 hits every night we’d win a lot more games.

 

No clue how Sal hit that, like that, that far.

 

Almost unbeatable iyam

 

I was impressed he got to second after being down on one knee

 

103, 406 HR 20/30 from his freakin knee.

 

Would have been nice to leave captain meatball in for Jac to tee off on. A holes.

 

Q can’t even substitute in a blowout right. WTH?

 

Watch Fred take a bad hop to the face and has to go to the DL for a month.

 

Going to be cool for that position player to get a W after Long lets them back in it.

 

How is he still employed?

 

Can we bring Bowlan back instead of this bum?

 

Tying run on deck means it’s a save situation now right?

 

Hey! That final out moved his ERA from 12 to 11.5. That’s called IMPROVEMENT!!!

 

Agreed. I saw Marsch and Wright both had set backs so that might cause them to hesitate.

 

Rolling the dice on this offense to produce enough to snag a WC is just feasibly idiotic so well done it. But we should thank Lugo for his service and get some young outfield bats

 

Two runs on two hits with two strikes

 

These guys need to get the ball in the air

 

I love how we hang pitches and they get wrecked and when they hang pitches we’re incapable keeping them at under a 40 degree angle

 

Q will go to his grave thinking Zerpa is a guy on base fireman

 

Need Jake Tapper to investigate Q’s mental faculties

 

Bob sure ended this one on a sour note
