India’s OBP is probably still in the 330s, but it is an empty 330, never gets a meaningful hit but he walks sometimes
Just bunt at this point in the game India.

That’s almost certainly a double play no matter what but damn that sucks
Game over, we can’t score in the 9th, haven’t all year unless it’s the white sox giving us runs. This is legit AWFUL offense. Horrible. India is one of the least clutch players I’ve ever seen
I think I’m done
We are awful on the base paths. Any analytics gurus have numbers on this
Getting swept at home tomorrow. By the cardinals who aren’t even good
Why the fuck didn’t they double steal on the first pitch?
Just awful. Two on no outs and did bupkis with it
Good thing the Royals FO is a good ol boys club and nobody is going to get fired. We are wasting an outstanding pitching staff with shitty bats and base running.
Ironically, the only way that wasn’t a double play is if India was the 2nd baseman
Don’t understand what Waters was doing.
Are we seriously going to lose this game 0-1?
This team isnt going to put a run on the board in 9 innings lol
Zerpa here is certainly a choice. Interesting to concede in a 1-0 game
This is it. Walk off or nothing
Get Zerp’d, I guess
This blows
JJ Picollo remains responsible for not addressing the lineup whatsoever this offseason. Going to waste one of the best rotations in Royals history becuase he rested on his laurels after winning a wild card series.
Offense is an bunch of clowns
Hyped to watch this team go 0-3 in the 9th
### Pitching Substitution
Pitching Change: Ryan Helsley replaces Kyle Leahy.
Just a bing and a bomb to walk it off
Maikel Garcia is 8 for 16 as a leadoff hitter this season
