LET’S GO ROYALS

It's gross how empty that place looks. For Christ sakes, if I lived close I'd be going every night.

Tigers made Lugo work in that inning. Hope he can get that pitch count down.

Yep me too. But it looks like people are still getting there also. But yeah.

Agreed. Royals were doing 20k on weekdays and close to sellout on weekends back in 2014.

They're way down from that now.

It was a nice recovery by Lugo...

No score after 2 full.

Offense may need to pull their weight tonight. Doesn’t look like we are gonna get CY Lugo

He's really struggling with command tonight.

Great ****ing bunt Isbel!

finally we bunt with a guy at the bottom of the lineup... it's about time

Isbel bunts the bases loaded with no outs!

Fantastic bunt too.

That pitch was pretty sick but Pham needs to swing.

Bobby Slam!

An MVP moment.

That’s my MVP!!

way to go Bobby!

Bobbyslam!!!!!

BUST OUT THE SPICY MUSTARD, BECAUSE BOBBY JUST GOT HIMSELF A GRAND SALAMI!!!!!!!!!

Bobby Grand Slam!!!!! 4-0 Rs

Bobby!

I like seeing this dude heat back up right before the postseason.

Amazing!

nice to get a hit with risp after yesterday

Salami!!!!!! Not sure how many I’ve ever seen in person but this is my favorite one!

DH watched strike 3 go by with the bases loaded because he knew Bobby was coming up

Your wish is my command...

We needed that!! We can be a game and a half behind Baltimore if we win

BOBBY!

It really was.

Tigers scrape together a run on a triple and SF fly, 4-1 Rs.

Melendez with the 1 out triple!

There we go! Got the run right back!

Garcia drives him in with a single, 5-1 Rs.

Ouch!

man Lugo's command is pretty bad tonight. So many pitches way out of the zone.

Twins lead the Guardians 3-1 bottom of the 7th.

Awesome. Offense actually shows some life and now Lugo is getting lit up.

****!!!!!

Rare shit start from him. He’ll go 5 at the most.

5-4 Rs after a 2 run homer.

When Lugo is off, he is really off.

to be fair he hasn't looked good all game, I was just hoping he'd work through it. Oh well, we need our offense to continue getting guys on and getting them in.

Q has a bizarre thing for trying to squeeze out extra outs when the starter is clearly done and out of gas. Is pulling him 1-2 batters early really changing our entire bullpen dynamic? No. The runs given up are far worse than putting in a reliever slightly early. This has backfired like 5 times in the last month.

I'll never understand people begging to go to this bullpen.

Damn. Just not Lugo's night.

Okie dokie, buckle up buckeroos! Bullpen time!

Yeah, an unusual bad start by Lugo, but he leaves with the lead but won't qualify for the win. Long coming on. 5-4 Rs top of the 5th.

Looked like early on Lugo was off, I was hoping the tigers were going to continue to miss.

Because the bullpen is in fact better than a pitcher who doesn't have it running on fumes? And how exactly does it make our bullpen better to wait until several runners are on before bringing them in? Would that make them better somehow?

Isbel with the triple! Leadoff even.

thank goodness for the bad throw... isbel was a sitting duck at 3rd

Bobby!

There we go! 200 hits baby!!! And another RBI!

Infield hit, number 200 by Witt, and a 6-4 Rs lead!

You can't tell me Judge is more valuable to his team.

No they would still be bad.

Too close to overturn

I don't see anything to over turn this.

Challenge? Guarantee we lose.

Wow that's close.

Safe? I'm honestly stunned.

I think he was safe, without the sliding mitt he would’ve been out.

Tie it looked like and couldn't overturn, but Massey strikes out. 6-4 Rs after 5.

Looks like our bullpen is back to its usual performance level. May need 10 to win this one.

This is gonna be a wild one, isn't it?

We need to make a change now. No reason to wait for the game to be tied before changing pitchers.

Quit putting Long in would be an improvement. Cleveland is leading the twins 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th now.

Long ****ing sucks. This bullpen is sad face.

Straight aids homie

JFC

:shake:

Sigh. I wish.

**** you Long. **** you. Worthless sack of shit.

Awful throw in from LF.

Yet he does it quite frequently, if not waiting until they're ahead.

So glad Q left a struggling lefty in to face the right Wencel. Well managed. Who could have seen that coming.

We’ve now managed to shit away 2 leads.

Where was Melendez playing?

Catcher scores from first on a guy looking to pull the ball
