In for the win!

Nationally televised tonight on FS1 for those out of market.

First pitch at 5:40pm.

Melendez AND Renfroe out. LET'S GO ROYALS!!

Do we avoid Skubal this trip?

Sunday vs Wacha

Royals will tag him for 10 runs. It is the AAAA guy they call up from Toledo that will look Cy Young.

Always thought the Detroit logo was pretty slick

The guys who suck, suck. But the biggest reason this team has been ass on offense so far is that Vinnie and Salvy have sucked balls.

oh look, two men on, no out, and a black hole behind Bobby.

Typical.

Corner OF is obviously the worst problem overall but we've gotta get these middle of the order bats going too. India and Bobby are getting on base and we're not driving them in.

Carrington made the comparison the other day to Salvy and Vinnie not producing is kind of like when Kelce isn't. You know Skyy Moore sucks, but you don't notice it as much if Kelce is being a badass same with the Royals. If Salvy is hitting, you won't notice Renfroe being ass.

This offense is EXPIRED..its looking as bleak as it can get

That's the 2nd or 3rd wild pitch I've seen get by salvy this year. Dude moves old it's hard to watch

Skunkheads friend ****ing sucks India blows

Our swing and miss rate must be the highest in the league, by far.

2-0 Detoilet

All too familiar lately, down 3 runs going to the 4th.

Bad defense play and walk = two runs.

We still can’t score more than 3 anyway.

lol at anyone who thought Drew Waters was even an iota better than the losers we trot out normally.

Correct. Only watching because I have to kill time at my kid’s hockey practice. This one is over

Way to go Royals, you loaded the bases. Still 3-0 Tigers.

Bases loaded and

Drew Waters looking like what he is . . . . . . a AAA+ player.

NOT a professional at bat in the least.

Embarrassing.

BWJ with a 10 game hitting streak, the rest, not so much.

It looks to me that India and Vinnie aren't healthy. I think those injuries they suffered are worst than what was reported.

Could the whole team (except BWJ) be injured? Maybe?

This is just not a team that hits the ball well enough. Putting it mildly. Season on track to be sub .500. A total waste of a nice pitching staff.

Unfortunately they just ****in suck

Sure would have been nice if JJ signed that middle of the order bat corner OF he promised us. (I know, they ‘tried’)

This pitching staff will be together 3 years tops, and we’re wasting it.

Sucks.

Hard.

Need some bats, desperately. Can't compete with the top teams. They are hard to watch right now. I am pissed. I expected some progression this year.

What’s the record for failure with RISP?

Just absolutely pathetic.

Tom said we are last in the league in hitting changeups...Olson thew 31 of em...science

Can these guys ever get the bats going?

Trade Bobby Witt Jr. What is even rhe point.

No other offensive player is any good.

We used to have Salvy but maybe he is finally getting old.

Tough to part with a guy who was the personality of the franchise. Dudes been making fun of how long it takes him to run to 1b

We scored a run!!!

Our pinch hitter is a dude hitting .116

Can we please DFA renfroe?

LOL, MLB officials need to have electrodes tied to their balls.

I agree, but in his defense, the replay showed he clearly beat the throw.

When your struggling even calls go against you. That was safe at first and should have been reviewed by the crew chief. The skip is feeling the pressure John wants his stadium with entertainment around it.

Good job Stratton, nice to see you picking up right where you left off last year. :rolleyes:

Duncan what did skunkheads friend do all off season? This team ****ing sucks

They suck, and they are boring. Nice recipe for getting a new stadium.

Witt needs to talk up a trade, he deserves better than what this organization has to offer a good player.

Poorly constructed team that can’t hit a lick.

Fire the GM and hitting coach Lew

Unwatchable

I can't wait to hear Hud tell us what the silver lining in this loss was, after he gets back from bubbling a bong..

Then coach will have to do the same thing, tell us how amazing the corn in the shit looked tonight...

So when does the countdown start on firing the manager?

Well, the ump being from Kansas was definitely not showing any favoritism. He was bad, but he was consistently bad.

Dfa Stratton and Melendez please

Good hitting beats good pitching. And we don't have pitching and defense that can hold down any team.

In b4, "Hey, at least we have an MLB team"... LMAO

At this point, unless the organization has already written off the season (having know this set of clowns had almost zero chance of a serious run), yeah, they need to do something drastic.

But we'll hear a bunch of paid optimism soon enough..

Not sure what the answer is. Everyone thought it was benching MJ and Renfroe and they've done it twice this week and the offense performed even worse both times. There's no combination of players you can confidently run out there right now.

Let me be one of the first to say, it's time to move on from Salvie... We all love him, but he's not getting it done.

at least a wet fart makes me laugh......

Even these talking heads are struggling to blow smoke up fan's asses..

And Matt sucks, he needs to go, he's the skipper. Then again, ownership prolly has his back since they probably knew this group wasn't going to be a serious MLB team this year, so maybe he's safe and will fall back on "I can't play for them"...

Sadness...

It's Bobby Witt, Jr. and a bunch of outs. Can we send the whole team down to AAA? What about the hitting coaches? Maybe they can donate their checks for more work in the batting cages. I've seen this team before.

I suspect attendance at the K will very expectedly drop off, as it should.

Sadly I don't the "The Royals" are the least bit concerned.

LOL love a good old CP freakout when the Royals are only 3 games out of first.

Detroit is going to run away with this division.

HERE WE GO ROYALS HERE WE GO!

Doesn’t matter. This team as currently constructed isn’t doing anything in the postseason if they somehow miraculously make it in.

But that’s what keeps us all coming back…. Hot takes from dead from the neck up jackwagons. Some of em are even registered voters!

Maybe Matt is betting?

Nope. I called the game behind the plate, not the bench.

What is the worst thing that can happen if Joey Wiemer and Nick Loftin were called up? The offense would struggle? You'd have to stop playing a second baseman in LF?
