Chapman’s here to prove he’s still got it
103 MPH. Chapman may be back.
what the fuck
103. But EVERYTHING is horrible!!! We’ve got pieces for entertaining games y’all. Hang in there.
Chapman is going to demand a trade in give or take two weeks
“Carries an edge out there:” uh yeah he did beat his girlfriend. He does have an edge
103 is pretty cool
You would think this Pitch com would have better technology. Every game there’s an issue. Let’s figure it out!
Chapman still has it. Nice
Chapman is so back. Can he hit though
Jesus 103 MPH
Oh look, the pitch clock still sucks
that inning was almost as nasty as domestic abuse
Chapman knew it when he threw it. His stance after was something else.
That man just did that. It’ll be a fun 3-4 months.
Chapman looked insane.
Let’s GO Royals!
“You know…playing on a team with no expectations is nice…” -Chapman, probably
### Pitching Substitution
Pitching Change: Jorge Lopez replaces Caleb Thielbar.
It pisses me off that Jorge Lopez is a legitimately good pitcher after he was just god awful with us
Remember when Jorge Lopez sucked for us?
Let’s hope we see Royals Jorge Lopez and not Orioles Jorge Lopez
Masterful AB by Dozier
Twins kid where are your parents
This game is giving me the runs
I thought pitching was going to be a big problem…
Our batting is such a fucking joke right now
This is just pathetic.
Anyone know how Lopez’s kid is doing? I’m legit happy to hear about Lopez success
We get it. Domestic violence is bad. If we have to do this dumb shit until Chapman gets traded, it’s gonna be a long few months.
O/U we score a run by the all-star break?
Oh no we suck again
Good Lord! Pitiful! Two games and zero runs.
18 scoreless innings to start a season. Pathetic.
Lol
Ugh…
What a effin joke. I sure hope Lopez is in the lineup tomorrow.
How has our pitching been fucking stellar and our batting has been driven into the dirt? I know it’s early in the season, but it’s hard not to see this as an omen for the rest of it.
Maybe don’t start a game at 3:10 when the sun is going to make impossible to hit after the sixth. This organization is a joke.
