  1. Just no pop anywhere to be seen have to string so many hits together to get 3+ runs 

  2. Can’t expect the entire pitching staff to be perfect every single game. The position players should be freaking embarrassed.

  3. Suddenly Noah Cameron gets fucked more than anyone else in KC. Can we get a crumb of run support?

  4. Cameron deserved a LOT better than his last two starts. C’mon boys. Turn around the series tomorrow.

  5. I’m not gonna pretend I wasn’t hoping Certified Royals Killer™ Ty France was still on the IL for this series.

  6. The Twins made 25 outs in this game. They struck out 11 of them. 44% of their outs the Royals didn’t even have to work for. And they still fucking lost because the offense is beyond pathetic and couldn’t muster up more than 1 run.

    JJ and the rest of the front office failed this team and continue to fail this team by not addressing the lineup

  7. Maybe if we didn’t go 1-10 with RISP. Same shit every damn day with this team

  8. Everyone but Bobby and Maikel need to line up on a wall and let the pitching staff throw dodgeballs at them

  9. I wonder if Erceg is hurt, hasn’t been as sharp the past few outings

  10. would be cool to get through games without errors from 2nd or 3rd (and the Maikel misplay at 3rd gave the Twins the momentum)

  11. anyone else feel like an alarming amount of the small number of runs we give up are coming from home runs?

  12. You know what, it happened.

    I’d rather Erceg does it now rather than in October.

  13. RENFROE WAS DUE! Just Kidding

    Bring up Jack in 25 AAA GAMES if his numbers are good our OFFENSE is lacking he can DH if nothing else

  14. That one hurts. Can’t keep wasting great pitching with gross base running mistakes and inability to bring guys home. Did really well against Lopez tonight, yet had nothing to show for it. Really hope this isn’t one we look back on at the end of the season. Let’s get it tomorrow

  15. Win or lose our pitching is crazy consistent and dominant, and I’m extremely happy about that.

  16. “Fun” with splits

    Royals in games with Maikel leading off: 5-1, 4.17 runs per game

    Royals in games with India leading off: 23-23, 3.22 runs per game

  17. Elite starting pitching. Again. Erceg isn’t perfect. It happens.

    Also I’ve got some serious questions as to our base running. That’s 4 unforced outs (at least) this road trip by poor base running decisions. Forever Royal.

    P.S Jac homered again.

  18. Jac and Devanney back to back on back to back days.

    What’s the story on Devanney? Is he just position locked?

  19. Another impressive pitching performance wasted, sorry Cameron. It sucks they walked it off but I am more mad at the offense. 1 run is not going to cut it. Go Royals.

  20. Cameron has a .71 ERA and averaging less than 1 hit every 2 innings pitched as a starter, and this is how we support him? What an absolute tragedy of an offense.

  21. the next 3 games being day games is a test of Jonathan India’s huge day/night split (his OPS is 300 points better in day games)

    Salvy has an even larger day/night split which you may have noticed on Wednesday

  22. The 2025 Royals are gonna be one of those teams we look back on and think what could’ve been if they could hit even a little

  23. Good pitching until the 9th inning. Massey and Pasquatch 2 hits each. Massy‘s hitting getting better.

  24. It feels like nearly all our losses are exactly like this this year. Feels like Groundhog Day at this point
