***Official Royals vs. Tigers GDT April 16 ***
 

Well since nobody had started a GDT today,i went ahead and did one for the first time.Today would have been my Dad's 85th birthday,he died after a short battle with cancer in 2019,at least there wasnt much suffering.I got my love from sports from him,his knowledge of baseball goes way back,he had Mickey Mantle cards tacked to his wall as a kid,ha who knew they'd be valuable someday.He settled in KC,where i've lived my whole life.He was a K-State alumni,who loved watching the Cats along with the Chiefs and Royals.Anyway,if we stink up the joint today,i think he'd agree with me not to start another GDT.This place can be rough,but thanks for listening folks.

Happy birthday to your late father. Hope the bats come alive today in his honor!

Yes, Happy Birthday to you dad....despite being a Wildcat (KU guy here). Hope this invigorates our Royals. To date they look a little listless.

Boob Itch sucks

Glad you started it today. I was waiting and now I know why I did.

I think Matheny needs to take a look at his lineup.

You do realize that if we win today you're obligated to continue starting the GDT. It's a huge responsibility.

Salvy is way past due

We scored in the first!

I dislike Santana

Don't worry, unlike with the Chiefs, we can't afford to fire Royals game thread starters based on record. Wouldn't be anybody left by May.

Looked out to me.

WTF have replay if you aren't going to use it correctly? He was out and it wasn't questionable.

Aaaaand it begins. Pitch count is already at 41 and we're not even out of the 2nd yet.

Bubic is a turd.

Of course, bad call that would have ended the inning leads to tie game instead.

His stuff isn't impressive at all, and he consistently misses up in the zone.

That was not a good AB. Look at a pitch right down the middle for strike 3 with 2 on and 0 outs......

I feel like we get thrown out at home a lot.

WTF did you send him??? LMAO

Wtf, that was dumb

Based loaded for the top of the lineup? No thanks.

The Left Fielder had the ball before Dozier even got to 3rd. No way at all do you send him. That's just ****ing dumb coaching.

Not a single run from that. My god.

Yep, I've been convinced for several years we have talented players but our coaching is awful. 3rd base coach should be replaced RIGHT NOW. Not tomorrow.

Your 2022 Kansa City Royals......

This promises to be a short season as we go for our 6th straight loss in all of 8 games

My coach told me in Little league you don't WATCH a pitch down the middle and when you already have two strikes you protect the plate. Our coaching is epic fail.

At this level that isn't coaching. That's on the player. It isn't like it was a nasty pitch or close call.

Royals suck at every level. Salvy is good and that is about it

Two Hit Witt Jr

Santana has to go, he sucks.

Hunter Dozier with that sub warning track power

Thats warning track power in Baltimore

Has Boobs got his ERA below 67 yet?

Not a good outing, but I guess it's an improvement over his last start.

Boob positives -
Only gave up 1 run

Boob negatives -
No command
Misses up in the zone constantly
Changeup is his only decent looking pitch

Pretty quiet in here when they are winning

Good sign Man Bun hitting 100mph

Royals win!!!!

Finally a winner

The streak ends. Woot.

That was a beautiful top of the 9th

Staumont throwing heat

Winner winner

phew. we can start the next 6 game losing streak on sunday.

Good pitching last two games. Bats must get better, right?

Staumant is insanely good if he can spot the ball. That 102 then 84 curve behind it is unhittable if can hit the spot

I'm thinking tomorrow might get rained out. :(

Best hitters through 8...Benintendi, Dozier and Lopez. Dozier doesn't fit people's narratives.

I want to hate Dozier, but he's off to a good start.
