Dairon Blanco just missed hitting a homerun by a foot which would have completed the cycle.

Weird day of baseball. There were 3 different 11-10 games today, including the Royals game. The Diamondbacks and Braves had a 16-13 game too. And the Cubs won 17-3 too.

I don't think cumulative runs across MLB had been that high since 1894 or something like that. Read it somewhere.

I was slightly off. It was most teams to score 10+ runs in one day since 1894

I know this was TV, but I was flipping through Sirius/XM and caught Denny Matthews on PBP a few days ago. Man, he was the voice of the Royals growing up and I'll always appreciate that...but he's just fried.

In terms of rankings, it was a fan-based thing...but the Royals' announcers should get extra credit for having to endure and try to entertain this dumpster fire.

I think the new guy is pretty fantastic. I've enjoyed him when I've caught him.

Denny just doesn't have much energy left in the tank.

Maikel Garcia's defense just being wasted by putting him at 3b. He's too good at defense to play there
