  6. I think everything’s going to be ok. That said, Noah Cameron should take Lorenzen’s starting spot going forward

  10. Props to the bullpen tonight. Lorenzen was garbage and put the team in a hole but those guys kicked butt!

  12. Absolutely phenomenal game, seeing them pick up Lorenzen after his outing was awesome.

    Caglianone debut was great, no hits but he made great contact, he certainly looks the part of a major leaguer.

    Let’s take the series tmr and get Caglianone his first hit!

  14. one of the easiest wins I’ve ever seen tbh.
    believers were rewarded in this one

  15. Best win of the season and I personally guarantee Cags goes deep tomorrow. Mikolas will flip up one of those 74 mph curveballs and Jac will hit it 485 feet.

  17. ![gif](giphy|26tPpQIyysIuM8gnK|downsized)

    Lo Cain approves… Never in doubt

  19. Hope that made Lorenzen feel better. And hope he heads to the pen for the rest of the year 💪

  20. Cags is HIM. When he’s on the team, everyone suddenly remembers how to hit.

  22. Rex insisting Cags hit the ball hard all five times when one of his outs had an exit velo of 65mph is a throwback to a time before exit velo when announcers could just claim every loud line drive was hard hit

    Caglianone probably should have played the field in his debut but hey..

    Hopefully they don’t adjust him and screw it up

  24. Thank god the game didn’t end in the 5th like so many people in here were saying

  26. Wow. Just wow. Incredible game from the boys, didn’t give up even when it looked hopeless.

    Jac looks good. I hope this is a strong turning point for the season, it shows we CAN win. We CAN score. Go Royals!

  29. Offense I really missed you. What a comeback. Bobby was a beast. Cags looked good despite not getting a hit. Another rough game from Lorenzen. Go Royals.

  31. The Voltron is assembling. Get the pitching healthy. Get Jac some AB’s. Get the team excited. Make a move for one more bat and I think we’ve got as good of a chance for the WC as anyone. Let’s fuckin’ go, boys.

  35. I just don’t like that Cags only saw 10 pitches in 5 ABs. On an average day with the same contact he gets at least 1 hit and likely 2 from what he did though

  36. Lorenzen moving to the pen when Ragans is back, right?

    Huge win, comeback with a vengeance style. Cags smokin balls even if they don’t fall. Great night.

  38. That was my favorite win of the year. Huge game!  Let’s keep it rolling and take this series!

  39. Beating them in that empty ballpark is nice. Here’s to seeing how the weather turns out for tomorrow though

  42. That was as wild as a win as I can remember, right up there with many from our WS runs in 2014 and 2014.
