Between the performance on the field and the article that came out recently about the UYBA, I think it’s time to take a break from this organization until substantial changes are made.
6-17 now @Baltimore since sweeping them in 2014 alcs
Sucks to lose, but at least the defense and pitching showed improvement, especially pleased with Lynch.
They doubled their normal run output. Is there a team that only scores one run more than the Royals?
Don’t care about the score, a young pitcher got a quality start and only walked one, I’ll take that as an improvement
I have no expectations and am still constantly disappointed. Vinnie apparently leaving with right shoulder discomfort doesn’t make me feel any better.
I’m calling it now. We still haven’t hit rock bottom
always cool to lose by 1 run and never really threaten to compete
Another winnable game the royals lose. When the pitching play well, the offense starts sucking and vice versa.
how did they keep it so close LOL
Just watched Fox4 sports and they showed highlights of the MVS charity softball game at Legends Field. Nothing about the Royals.
Watch how bad this team gets after the trade deadline when Barlow and Chapman are gone 😂
