Sam Long has solidified himself as the most hated royals bullpen guy who comes in at big moments for unknown reasons.

Long is absolutely trash.

Why does our idiot manager keep using that clown in close games?

Long was interesting choice for this situation

DFA Sam Long

They almost left Long off the opening day roster.

Should have gone with their gut instinct . . . . .

We would have won one other game and still been in this one.

Bobdong

This.

You’ve got a guy like Erceg, who’s supposedly the ‘fireman’ role. Bring him in there to get that one batter and end that inning and it’s still a 2-0 game. Even if you don’t plan on having him pitch the 7th, due to pitching yesterday.

Would have been a PERFECT spot to use him.

:facepalm:

Zerpa or Lynch would have been better if you wanted a lefty.

To be fair two were in extra innings when the pen was about out of guys. Long or Stratton take which version of herpes you want.

Well this one is probably over. Be nice when Marsh and McArthur get off the IL. That will be the end of Long and Stratton.

Got our thumpers coming up

Alright! MJ leadoff walk!

Let's go Bobby!

Seeing that this is pretty much out of hand, tomorrow is Povich vs Bubic.
