**Saturday, April 6th Royals/White Sox GDT**
 

Gonna be a windy game! Wacha on the bump.

Could this be the Royals best starting pitching rotation since 1994? That was David Cone, Kevin Appier, Flash Gordon and Mark Gubicza.

3 up, 3 down

Wacha cruising so far. Rotation ERA Update: 1.35 thru 53.1 IP. Unreal.

Wacha just struck out the side, around a walk.

Yeah, he looks pretty sharp. Unfortunately the Royals have let Flexen get into an equally solid groove after a bit of a shaky first.

Dang, starting pitching with another good start.

3 up, 3 down...now let's get some runs.

Ohhh Mr. Velasquez :doh!:

Goddammit. Another promising inning goes up in smoke with Velasquez daydreaming and Hamspon watching strike 3.

Wacha's dealing again, 7 Ks 2 hits....

Obligatory rotation ERA update: 1.28 in 56.1 IP. This is nuts.

Vinnie needs to be benched

I like this starting pitching staff right now for sure.

What good would bitching him do? He's a good enough hitter that he will break out of this slump. It's not gonna last much longer.

Starting staff is legit.

Scratch a ****ing run or two across here boys

MJDONG!!!

Salvy is crushing the ball right now. Not as much as Bobby, but no one is crushing it like Bobby. **** yeah Melendez!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

MJ DONG!!

A little help but we'll take it. LMAO

He pushed it over the fence with the glove!!

Yessssss!!!! There we go!!! Salvy and MJ!!!!

Switch MJ and Vinnie in the order

Yeah, if that poor bastard isn't a midget, he probably makes that catch, though it was tailing...

MJ has been looking legit since half way through last season.

We're less than 10 games into the season, bud. Slow down a bit.

Crazy good. If we can have someone step up as a closer, this team will be tough.

How the hell did I miss that we picked up Wacha? He went to high school locally here.

Let's get some insurance! C'mon fellas!

Woot woot! 3-0

I'll take it!!!

Man... how would that feel having a stadium rhythmically chanting your name?

I think he maybe was trying just a little too much, but why not.

Vinnie absolutely blows

I must say Vinnie looks lost right now.

Okay gang... It's bullpen time, which also means, it's diaper time. Go ahead and get those Depends ready and standing by.

Vinnie looks like he's not comfortable after the shoulder injury. May still be bothering him or he's still working back to where he was.

Man... double plays have been our best friend so far this year.

Division looks SO gettable. Let's not waste thimese opportunities. Get Vinnie down to the minors for some confidence. Idk if he has options left but he can't be that high in the lineup

Poor Beni...

And that's the ballgame!!! Woohoo!!!!

Winner winner 3 hit shutout !

First time since 4/9/22 when they were 2-0.

I was watching the White Sox feed. Steve Stone is still doing color on the TV broadcast. I had to look it up. Dude is 76 years old. Still calls a good game.

You sure about that?

The WGN games back in the day when a Royals game wasn't very much on TV was always cool.

Holmes, what comes right before 2-0?

When was the last time the Royals had a winning record??

Edit:


Ah

I am.

But the next game they lost and would still be 2-1.

I wish we could play the White Sox every day

Mods, can we have the filter change White Sox to White Sux for the rest of the year?
