Royals **Saturday, July 20th White Sox at Royals GDT**

GabyKeepsMeWarm · 07-20-2024, 04:32 PM

Nice to start to the second half last night with the relaxing 7-1 victory. How about more of the same tonight?!?

1. Frazier - DH
2. BWJ - SS
3. Vinnie - 1B
4. Salvy - C
5. Massey - 2B
6. Renfroe - RF
7. Waters - LF
8. Garcia - 3B
9. Isbel - CF

Singer on the hill tonight. Hopefully he rebounds after that dreadful start last weekend against Boston. LFG.

I guess if you're going to roll out a .286 OBP guy at DH and leadoff it may as well be against the White Sox

I'm starting to like the bottom of the order. They're doing better than they were. Of course, they]y could upgrade a little.

I do not get putting Frazier at leadoff. Just maddening!

Very nice.

Atta boy Salvy!

Bobby needs an offseason of base stealing work with Rusty, Lorenzo and Carlos Beltran.

I mean it was a called double steal on the first pitch and was absolutely idiotic considering we had him on the ropes. Can't say it was only witts call.

That's fair. But it was also what, Witt's 10th CS? Dude could use some work with his basestealing, regardless of tonight. Just saying...

Is it just me or does Hud and the new guy have a chippy dynamic?

Not just tonight but I’ve been noticing it for a bit. New guy doesn’t seem to have a high tolerance for Hud’s “quirkiness”

I've noticed that, I didn't know if anyone else had. Edginess a little.

I'm not sure if it is just a shtick to try to be a lovable goofball but Hud really seems like one of the dumbest broadcasters I've ever heard.

Ryan was kinda the same way with Hud when they initially got together, what a dozen years ago? Took a little time for them to figure each other out.

My guess is that is his next evolution. If there is anything we've seen with BWJ is he grinds his ass off. Every year he comes back vastly improved at something.

First year, couldn't play defense worth a shit. Fixed it.
Second year, struggled with pitches high. Fixed it.
Next year he'll probably steal 50 bags and 4 CS or walk 70 times or some shit.
