Tonight is the slump-buster! How could they possibly lose with this lineup?

In it to win it

I'm making my first trip to the yard since 2019 and rather excited about it.

I feel bad you have to watch this lineup.

Game 1 of our 5 game winning streak starts tonight boys and girls.

Sounds good to me!

Let’s get after it!!

So Cabrera's stats this year show he's washed up except he still has HOF numbers against the Royals. :shake:

Those Cabrera splits are ridiculous.

11 consecutive games that the opponent has scored first.

Dodged a bullet there. Got out of that with giving up only one run.

Now let’s score early tonight.

What the situational hitting?

EDIT: Never mind. Soler ruined it.

:shake:

Soler... You suck

When was the last time we didn't allow a run in the 1st?

This will be interesting. First time seeing an ump go after a pitcher for his glove.

Ryan just going after everyone’s skeletons right now.

I had the sound muted. What was the problem with his glove?

Can’t see if any substances are on it

Interesting. Minor's glove is dark, too.

No foreign substances on that meatball pitch.

Tsk. Tsk.

That’s how the ump knows Minor is good LMAO

They got Miguel Cabrera out!!!

This dude pitching like Jackson Kowar this inning.

Mize really helped the Royals batters not have to hit with RISP that inning. Without those wild pitches it’s 3-0.

OMG. Just demote Gutierrez now. Don't even let him finish the game.

Dyson :)

Hell of a play by Dyson.

Man, you can hear Ryan and Hud's frustration.

Cut Santana. :D

And we hit into yet another double play.

Vintage Cabrera, go with the pitch and poke it opposite field.

During this streak 2 out RBI are just a given for the opponents.

This team is unwatchable.

LOL now Gutierrez just watches strike 3 right down the middle.

Yet here we are.

If my life was exciting, I wouldn't be here.

O'hearn is just crushing in Omaha!!!!!!!

LMAO

LMAO

Duck snort!

This is exciting!!!!

A run with two outs with someone in scoring position?! Hold me.

Over 1.500 OPS right now

Time for a walk off

Hunter Dozier’s regression, to me, is the biggest indictment of our hitting coaches.

Why is Mondesi on deck now?! A little late for that.

LMAO

Shitastic!

Kind of looks like a team full of players that know they aren't talented enough and the coaches know the same thing.

We suck

He probably injured himself again.

Why would you send Alberto up if Mondesi is available? Unbelievable.

Just not to be. It looked like Taylor had a lot of hittable pitches he just missed on.

**** this team. That little 5-game win streak to go a few over .500 tricked us into thinking they might stay reasonably competitive. ****ers.

And why would you send Taylor up ever? I'm pretty sure he's struck out in every high-leverage AB he's had all season.

Shocking.

If we're gonna blow ass the rest of the season can we just call up the majority of the AA and some of the AAA squad and watch them play?

Well there's a few things that are encouraging. Whit is on a two game tear, pitching has stabilized somewhat and aww **** there's nothing else.

KG=storm chasers

Bring him up so he can suck again!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure if they talked about it on the broadcast, but Mondesi was in the on-deck circle to PH for Lopez.

As the 4th hitter in an inning. After Hanser Alberto was used to PH for the 2nd hitter in the inning.

WTF kind of decision is that? If you're going to go to Mondesi, go to him and make sure he gets to swing the bat (especially against a hard-throwing, straight-fastball-throwing reliever).

That's exactly what I said. Mind-boggling decision.

At least Taylor didn't go down with the bat on his shoulder like he usually does.

Mike Matheny and his Staff are worthless, and quite frankly, DM needs to move on from this Franchise as well.
