That outfield is absolute trash but so far that has not cost the Royals at all! I'll take a unit on KC up to -150.

Has anyone seen Melendezs home vs away splits rofl

Must be a lefty starting for Oakland, almost all righthanded batters.

Let’s go!

It's insane. At home, he's a totally competent legit MLBer. On the road, it's like they've replaced him with a bum off the street.

Maybe on the road we should find a bum for him.

3 up, 3 down for the As

Need to get Bobby going again... He's had a rough couple of weeks.

There we go. Right on cue, just as I knew he would, hahaha... Bobby!

Back-to-back doubles to open the scoring, 1-0 Rs

Salvy!!! Oh baby, BWJ was burning down the line to score on that... Woohoo!!

Make that 2-0 Rs thanks to Salvy single.

Good start

Mother****ing Renfroe shits the bed again…. Is he ever gonna get anything going with the bat? What’s Alex Rios doing these days?

No

Go Royals!

Damn, Brady ain’t ****ing around today.

Damn it, there went Brady's perfect game.

Bob with the oppo triple

And it gets wasted. Dammit.

Damn it, there goes Brady's no-hitter.

And shutout. Blarg.

A's - sometimes its better to be lucky than good

Come on offense do something...

Way to get out of that

Garcia gets it done

That's what i'm talking about!

Ask and you shall receive…

Head scratchers for the day: Velasquez hitting clean-up, and Renfroe starting period with his .154 BA

Close but no cigar As.

Big Vin can blow this game wide open

PBJ

Now that was a beauty.

Vin with a three bagger

Heck yeah vinny! Way to come through!

Vinnie clears the bases with a triple!!

And it shall be done…

But why pull him for a pinch runner? Weird.

He batted for Hamson, who was playing center field. Isbel than came in to pinch run and take his spot in center field.

Minnesota and Cleveland tied at 2 in the bottom of the 9th.

I understand, but I guess I just don’t quite understand pulling him for a pinch runner when he’s already at third. Of course you’ll need Isbel to come in at center. Whatever…. Who gives a shit, right? Hahaha…

Smith quietly has his ERA down to 6.75 after being around infinity.

Fuuuuuuck you Cleveland. Walkoff 3 run homer with two outs. Unreal. Tribe wins 5-2.

Keep it rolling Rs tomorrow vs Detroit.

Isbel is more likely to score on a fly ball or ground ball than Vinnie.

Can somebody remind me why we got rid of Rooker? Seems like we could use a guy like that now.

I think I'm undefeated in Royals GDTs this year. PBJ PBJ PBJ

Ballgame baby!!! What a great weekend of memories and winning baseball. Ten games over .500!!! Unbelievable…

got tix for friday

The Royals are totally playing some balls.

The AL Central has four teams .500 or over.
The National League has five teams .500 or over.

Ridiculous.

Additional pitching will be available this summer. Bubic is handling his rehab like a champ thus far. He would be a great bullpen arm for the remainder of this year.

OK, the Padres won, so the NL has six .500 teams now. But still.

Just had a conversation with my baseball nerd buddy about this. It’s wild.

We’re just over a quarter of the way through the season, but it already feels like about 70% of the playoff field is set.
