  1. Wow that 8th inning sucked, thank god it’s 1 game out of 162! See y’all tmr, let’s go royals.

  2. Q, my brother in Christ, why are we bunting with runners on and our hottest hitter up to bat??

  3. pretty good game overall, just gotta score more runs than the other team next time

  5. they absolutely beat themselves tonight in all ways

    All started with whoever the fuck told Garcia to bunt, a .310 hitter who literally hit a home run tonight, why the fuck would you give them a free out?

  6. 1. Jac deserves to be in MLB and is going to be fine.

    2. Not sure what Q was supposed to do tonight with the bullpen after the DH yesterday. He could’ve gone to Clarke earlier, but not like he’s some shutdown guy.

    3. Just win the series and move on.

  9. people justifying that bunt are gonna have to figure out a way to talk about momentum in baseball

  11. I really want to like Q

    But JJ needs to ask him what the hell he’s been on the last two days

  12. Whole game had a weird feeling to it, and boy did it all unravel quick. Back to it tomorrow, but we gave them a whole lot of good feelings for this weekend, hope we can get it together

  15. Q does the same shit over and over to potentially cost us games and we’ll all be here tomorrow regardless.

  16. I think it’s time we discuss the elephant in the room…

    1. How did it get there

    2. Why is it here

    3. What do I do now

  20. Q has the second highest winning percentage by a Royals coach in the last 30 years. But hey you guys do you. I’m sure Mike Matheny is still available? Or hey remember the job Pedro Griffol did? Also Trey Hillman has been rumored to come out of retirement.

  21. so, are we still acting like Jac is the rally mantis causing the offense to be good

  22. I’m gonna point to the doll where the royals hurt me and it’s right in the heart

  24. Hey, even last season we lost 1 game to the White Sox and still turned out ok.

  25. How is Q is the second highest winning manager when he’s 40 games under 500? If that’s true then that’s fucking sad.

    Q is everything a manager shouldn’t be. Passive, gutless, and out of touch with the game.

  26. One game against the Chicago White Sox does not change any team’s trajectory. Chain of uncharacteristic defensive mistakes late. Only takeaway is Q’s questionable offensive decision making late. Why do we have a hot hitter bunting with runners on and no one out?

    t’s 1 game against the White Sox. Baseball is weird. I’m 0% concerned. We’ll be back on track after the weekend. Forever Royal.

  27. The 8th inning was a complete shit show; the whole team fell apart. Q’s bullpen management has been pretty baffling at times this season. We need Erceg and Harvey back. Go Royals.

  31. Some of you have zero perspective at all. This team was a complete fucking joke before Q got here and since then they’ve won a playoff series and are still two games over .500 this year. But he should be fired because Jonathan Bowlan blew a lead in game #64 this season.

  32. Definitely a game that got away from us big time, but thankfully losses like this aren’t season defining. Onto tomorrow to turn the series around! Go Royals.

  33. Me: Man I wish we have some offense once Cags is called up!

    *some fucking evil genie*

    “Granted you get 3 games where you score more than 3 runs. However your pitching will turn to shit and Cags will became the unluckiest player in MLB history”

  35. Not enough offense to beat even the White Sox Witt And Waters 2 hits each Pasquatch and Garcia home runs but no one on base. Bowlan 4 walks and 2 hits.

  36. The whole team had a total of one walk tonight. The last I knew we have the fewest walks in MLB. Cannot hit well when you swing at bad pitches.

  37. I feel like eventually Cags is going to hit one 550 feet out of frustration. It will be cathartic.

  38. We have a nice team batting average .250 12th best in MLB. We have scored the 27 th most runs and have the 30th most walks. Interesting and unusual stats. Also have a nice pitching staff.
