I’m about ready to be done with Kyle Isbel
there was a baseball game today? huh.
I know they said they wanted to see a full season of Kyle Isbel in CF, but despite his and Waters’ significant amount of missed time, it’s clear who our CF is
What a pathetic 9th inning. First pitch double play when your leadoff man is on with no outs. Then your next two batters do their jobs and try to put some life into the inning, only for fucking Kyle Isbel to get up and flail at three straight sliders below the zone. As soon as he swung and missed at the first one we all knew damn well Lange wouldn’t throw anything else and that Isbel would swing at every one of them.
Oh wow. That didn’t work out. This is my shocked face 😑
Ned would’ve told Nicky to bunt there.
Isbel said “I’m gonna swing at the first three pitches I get.” Dude did bit want to be in that position
Well that was disappointing. Make my first trip of the year to The K tomorrow. Was hoping we’d have a chance to finally get 3 in a row…
The bullpen not giving up runs is pretty cool. Especially with 3 innings from Castillo.
Same shit, different game. Another winnable the royals managed to blow. The offense couldn’t get clutch hits. That was pathetic isbel.
Should we have a chat about not using Fermin as the PH in the 9th? If the Royals tie it, he enters the game since Salvy was subbed out. If you’re gonna swing away, maybe use the guy who has been hitting lately?
