I'm scared to watch

HERE WE GO ROYALS HERE WE GO!

In.

You don't look out your window when you see the aftermath of a violent car wreck?

It's kinda like that.

CLAP CLAP

Today is kind of an important day. Winning today would be YUUUUGE. At least go 1-1.

Get the sweep or bust! LET'S GO ROYALS!!!!! :clap:

Not a good start for Ragans, down 1-0

EL CAPITAN!

2-1 Rs after Salvy's 2 run double.

Is massey hurt? He looks like dog shit.

He plays like it at the plate. He's very good at 2nd.

Yeah if he's hurt it must be something that does not impact fielding athleticism or vision or anything else other than being unable to hit major league pitches.

What a play by Waters. That was elite.

More Drew Waters, please.

Very nice catch Waters!!

Well, Beck just tied it with a HR. 2-2

Hey Ragans do you think you can get your shit together against this garbage team, please? Royals aren't going to score more than 1 or 2 more runs.

The KC Pop-ups :shake:

The Royals scored their 2 runs. Marquez is going to look an all-star from here on out.

2 run HR for Goodman, Ragans get your head out of your ass!

Ragans ain't got it today. 4 runs and 60+ pitches through 3 innings.

Yep. Great day to get into our bullpen early and burn everybody up. After all, once this game is over we have all day long to rest those arms, right? RIGHT?

Why is Renfro playing…?

He's been off, but I'd sure as hell run Ragans back out there to sort it out, rather than bring in that turd Zerpa.

More Drew.

Waters continues with a RBI single 4-4 tie

Agreed. Please no Zerpa.

Ragans out, Zerpa in in the 4th?

Ragans was not pitching well.

Not good. You don’t pull your ace after 3 innings even on a bad day. Awaiting injury update. Hope it’s just a tweak or something.

You are not going to pull your ace after 3 innings on a double header day unless something is wrong.

They showed him in the dugout, and he looked like he didn't feel well, hanging his head and all. I don't know, they haven't said anything yet.

Agreed, Just saying, he was all over the place today.

He's out.

As good as Garcia has been as a hitter this season so far, he’s been about as bad as a base runner.

Looked safe on the naked eye view first time but clearly was out.

That's two bad outings in a row after pitching fantastically into the 8th inning before that.

Vinnie, what's the problem? You're suckin' way down below the Mendoza line.

Automatic Out Pasquantino is awful to watch.

Going thru pitchers like crap thru a goose...

Glad to see Zerpa making a fool outta me.

Kyle Mother ****ing Isbel

Isbel with the carom off the glove for a 2 run single.

Has to be the torpedo bat.

BWJ hitting streak at 15

What a waste.

Starting to hope he's still dealing with some nagging issue. Because it's looking like the alternative is that he's been a 1.5 year wonder and now has been figured out.

Scary thing is it has been a very quiet hitting streak.

Yeah he is yet to fully unleash and is still a boss.

Man, I wanted to go to the first game today, but had meetings all damn morning. Beautiful day for a game, and an exciting one to watch.

Go Royals!

Just checked the box score and Ragans went 3 innings?
Is he hurt?

6-4 Royals middle of the 7th.

No word yet, but I would think so. Hopefully fatigue or a blister or some minor thing like that.

Cruz looks like he will be a keeper, so far.

Isbel is a Ribeye steak machine

Isbel's day today, a bunt single for a 7-4 lead.

I thought this would be a single and an error on them, but they gave him a 2 run double.

Nah. If a defender has to dive, you are gonna get full credit for any bases gained after said dive. Kinda like when an outfielder dives for what would've been a single and it rolls past him. You get credit for the triple or homer anyway.

I gotta feeling this Rockies team is gonna be playing "hold my beer" with the last year's White Sox for the "title" of worst team ever all season long.

Estevez or Erceg for the 9th?

Vinny. One season wonder

Their fans are pretty dedicated. They will never win a thing because they will never have good pitching.

Estevez it is.

Will we get Charlie Sheen or Alan today from Estevez?

Ragans removed for groin tightness. I hate that.

Better than his elbow or shoulder

Winning!!

WINNER

Now, will Erceg or Estevez be available for the nightcap?

That's indisputable.

Nice win boys. Let's get the 2nd!

On a night that promises a lot of disagreement here, I choose to focus on what unites us.

3 wins in a row....

I wonder if that was the cramp that the got removed from early this year.

Groin tightness for Ragans. Hopefully nothing more.

Oops. Didn’t see it had been posted already.

Time for the broom
