Why did Lopez pinch hit for Mondesi?

No one knows.

Pour it on!

Michael A Taylor

ROFL Relax, man. DeGrom is amazing. They are allowed to talk about him on a sports channel.

Michael A Taylor in the 9 hole is a great spot for him. Looks comfortable, speed in from of Whit is good as well.

Tip of the hat catch on that.

Need to know what's up with Mondesi.

Hope Mondesi just has the shits or something!

Lol not while the Royals are playing.

I know he is amazing but this is Royals Pirates on National TV we very seldom get this spotlight.

Lol, ump has a dinner reservation I guess

They were showing in-game highlights, as they have done for multiple games throughout the evening. This is what normal sports broadcasts do. I'd rather see DeGrom highlights in between pitches than listen to Rex Hudler ramble on about nothing.

WINNER!!!! Going into June at .500

Back to 500

Nice catch by Taylor to seal the deal!

I hope glass Mondesi isn't out too long.

Maybe a strained wrist with a stiff neck flipping the bat and staring down the homer.

After Mondesi made that great play on the short hop, I noticed he stretched out his arm a big. Hopefully just a twinge or something.

It's amazing how many are agonizing over replays on twitter. Twitter is (optimistically) speculating that he tweaked his ankle on the throw.

Mondi tweak in hamstring per Mathney

****

Hopefully it's minor. Dude is made of glass though.

Unreal.

Love Mondi and his talent but what a brokedick.

At this point, the Royals gotta be thinking about pulling that long term extension talk off the table. You can’t commit Gordo/Salvy type money ($15-20 mil. per) to a guy that can’t stay on the field.

What a waste of talent.

Jesus Christ Mondesi. Move that mother****er to CF asap so he doesn't keep getting hurt.

That guy is way to smug to be a true Kansas Citian.

That ESPN broadcast was great. Dan Shulman, Doug Glanville and Jeff Passan did a good job. Bob Kendrick was guest during broadcast. The had extra cameras on the concourse and did a much better job showcasing the K for the national audience than the Royals local broadcast.

Seems like the great play by Mondesi on that dribbler was the last time he exerted himself. Since he stayed in the game, that should indicate that it was not as bad as a hamstring could be.

Absolutely & get Bobby Witt Jr in KC ASAP.

Please wait at least 11.5 months. No need to waste him now. He also needs to reduce his 33%+ strikeout rate.
