It appears it’s going to be yet another dud from the offense
Would be nice to have the middle of the lineup coming up with runners on and feel slightly more assured in something productive happening. Too much to ask? Okay no worries
if some teams had a Vinnie and a Jac, they would be looking for ways to ultimately trade Vinnie to open 1B up for Jac
We got France out!
Go sit the fuck down Ty Fucking France you bum!
Why do we always watch strike one.
Anyone else remember the report that the Royals where in talks with Miami last year for Luis Arraez before he went to San Diego. Good times.
A hits a hit!
Awww yeah you can Drew it
You guys have such a solid pitching staff
just pathetic at this point
The baserunning is SO FUCKING BAD
oh there we go

There’s the baserunning mistake that’s been missing
Oooh man hahaha
Drew man why did you stop mid base path bro?
Omg I cannot
Coooool ANOTHER stupid out on the base paths
loving the twins uniforms , can’t hate
let’s go blue !
And there’s the base running gaff!
Daily base running issue
Dude wtf was that, Waters? Why do we insist on getting picked off so regularly? That’s a big fucking problem.
There’s the little league BS, wondering when we’d see it
Not a chance we win today…ffs
Damon Hollins gets a pretty good seat to watch some ball
“Well, that was a disappointing inning” yeah man
Hahahah little league base running 🤣
and thus ends the Royals season-best streak of **1** game without getting thrown out on the bases
Can we stop trying to be aggressive on the bases, it clearly isn’t working.
Baserunning is rough.
What’s the deal
Why do we watch every day expecting the royals offense to magically be fixed despite no changes made? The team is the team
The team struggling to score runs and the base running issues are essentially one and the same. Pressing.
I love boobs

The Royals are going to ruin another quality start from Bubic huh

We have to score on Ober, dude is so bad.
Michael ASSey
Textbook popout with a bat slam from Massey there
Just noting that of our top 12 players ranked by WAR so far this season, nine are pitchers. (The three others are BWJ, Garcia, and Isbel.)

Idk about you guys, but I am truly shocked that bringing in .226 average Jonathan India and doing nothing else didn’t completely change the dead offense
I feel so bad for the starting pitchers
Alright my new seasons resolution was to be less of a doomer, this series has turned me into one so I’m turning it off 😂 Fire Zumwalt, promote some AAA talent to give them reps, make some moves at the deadline. Pray that the twins, Astros, or mariners collapse down the stretch
alright since everyone else is angry and venting, i will too
Ryse Energy fucking sucks. What a shitty line of energy drinks. They have a Sunny D flavor that’s carbonated. Who the fuck wants a carbonated Sunny D. It’s orange juice you stupid assholes, make it smooth and juicy like Rockstar Orangeade which is the only thing I ever want to drink most days. Fuck Ryse, praying on their downfall.
Bubic is having a cy young season and won’t win because Tarik Skubal loves to block us from winning it seems
Kristofer Titscratch is going to carry us or die trying
Can we score some damn runs for these pitchers? It’s so depressing to see legit the best pitching this team has had for a decade plus get zero support
It’s okay we’re gonna sweep a bad team which will make up for our terrible outings against playoff teams
Just got a notification Jac has homered in 4 straight games. Can we just call him up already? He can’t do any worse than what our outfielders produce rn lol
