  2. That dude who started the “you bum” bullshit at games created one of the most annoying occurrences you can possibly experience at a game. Bruh shut the hell up, no one gives a single fuck about you.

  3. I don’t know if it’s on purpose but I like to think the Royals are wearing the powder blues in St.Louis just to troll.

  4. In 2022 I happened to be in St. Louis for a Cardinals game against i don’t remember who cares, the Poo-man himself big ol Al hit two homers that day and one of them bounced off the Big Mac Land sign. It was almost as cool as watching Freddy nuke some shit into there a few minutes ago.

  12. ### Groundout
    Vinnie Pasquantino grounds out, second baseman Brendan Donovan to first baseman Willson Contreras. Jonathan India scores. Maikel Garcia to 3rd.

    Pitch from Matthew Liberatore: Cutter @ 88.7 mph

    Hit by Vinnie Pasquantino: Launched 75.9 mph at 1.0° for a total distance of 44.0 ft

    Top 3 – 4-1
    Royals

  13. ### Single
    Salvador Perez singles on a sharp line drive to left fielder Lars Nootbaar. Maikel Garcia scores.

    Pitch from Matthew Liberatore: Cutter @ 88.7 mph

    Hit by Salvador Perez: Launched 111.0 mph at 14.0° for a total distance of 252.0 ft

    Top 3 – 5-1
    Royals

  22. By the way I started Liberatore in my money league’s lineup. Feel free to keep killing him anyway.

  27. Rumors of Jac’s improved plate discipline may have been exaggerated.

  29. You didn’t want the Royals to score 2 in the inning after a missed 3rd strike?

    Then execute. Come back that very next pitch and DO YOUR JOB. Make that next pitch.

    Sound familiar St. Louis?

  30. Freddie must have drank a lot of that St Louis “water” Mark McGwire left in the stadium. He’s going to get tested if he keeps hitting like that

  31. Jac may be struggling, but it is undeniable that the dude has brought some BIG hitting energy with him! Dude is awesome for the dugout culture already!

  33. Aww Cags. Hopefully he doesn’t get too frusturated, you’ll have your day soon.
