Keep it rolling, cmh!

We have the new Mike Trout.

The Angels have the old broke dick one.

Is Mike Trout the GOAT that never was?

The GOAT of playing for a relatively anonymous team without any postseason success

BINGO!

If we had NHL or NBA teams we would probably have the top generational talent in each of those sports as well. LFG

Would love to go into the Cleveland series tied

the Dejong move was so legit...We got it working...
getting really excited about this team

Blanco Bonds in the lineup tonight

Thats what homers do

Be nice to get Renfroe going. Guy has been ass for over 2 weeks now.

Major League Baseball is great when your team is good

Even if they suck, every game is new grass on the field
This is the bonus round

LET'S GO ROYALS!!

let's get to 1.5 back from cleveland tonight!

PBJ PBJ PBJ

Cleveland ties the Yankees 2-2. Third inning...

Not the best start

Oh Hampson... DUDE.

HAMPSON!

Nice recovery hampson better do something to make up for that

How in the hell did Freddy not beat that out?

Was that the same Jack Lopez the Royals drafted a million years ago? Research time...

Yes, they said in 2011 or 2012?

Also, nice tag Salvy to get out of the inning and score some runs!!

That looked like an obvious safe call. Gorgeous bunt too.

Very safe.

Safe

Sorry, I must've missed them talking about it during the broadcast. But yeah, drafted in the 16th round in 2011 by the Royals. Made it as high as Omaha by 2017 and 2018. And finally made it the bigs a couple years ago for a cup of coffee and now with the Angels. That's a man who loves playing baseball.

Hampson sucks.

Go back to the bench where you belong Hampson.

Is that a -3 war for the day thus far for gampson?

I want us to win this game

Vinnie coming through! Taking advantage! On the board!!!

That'll work! 2-1 Angels

Good job Royals!

Atta boy Renfroe! Tie game.

RBI single by Renfroe 2-2

Vinnie just cup checked Rendon.

That was Renfroe wasn't it?

Yeah you're right. Vinnie had already scored.

Yeah, pretty sure it was Renfroe. Don't think Vinnie has been in the league long enough to do that yet.

And Rendon was trying to push Hunter off of 3rd base is why he did it.

Atta boy Ragans! Think you can do exactly that for one more inning? Please and thank you.

Cole throwing a lot of pitches tonight.

We may in for a bullpen game soon. :eek:

It's been one of those "grinder" kind of games thus far. Haven't had a ton of baserunners, and when we have had some baserunners, it's been extinguished by double plays, and untimely hitting. Almost feels like this will come down to a big shot from someone. Hopefully us!

that was blasted

Ruh roh

Get him out Q.

Shit. He's done.

Think it’s time to pull Cole.

Clearly on fumes at this point. Can hardly find the strike zone this inning.

Oh crap, the General is coming in.

Gonna need more than five innings from Ragans. Not good enough.

McArthrur, huh?

Well, it’s not a save opportunity and he does get ground balls better than most of our relief pitchers so maybe we can get a double play here.

*fingers crossed*

Or not. Cool.

Welp this is not fun

And McArthur shits the bed and is slowly working on giving this game away with no chance of a comeback. :facepalm:

Not Ragans best start.

Is there anyone with a worse breaking ball than McArthur?

That's kind of his thing.

Was fine until, well, it wasn't. Just kind of the same issue he's had for much of the season, too many pitches, ala, Danny Duffy disease.

Soft hit after soft hit.

McArthur in high leverage situations - what could go wrong?LMAO

My favorite... getting dinked and dunked to death by a shit team.

Yep. Exactly.

No.

He has not been good against the Halos this year.

Got rocked in Anaheim to the tune of 7 ER’s over 6 innings back in May.

Down 3 sucks, but that could have been much worse.

I guarantee mine is much worse.

We’re the number five responding run team in all of baseball!!

Let’s act like it

Yuck, at least that's over, now get moar runs!

Erceg is the only guy in the bullpen with any confidence. Everyone else looks like scared pussies.

If Dejong wants to give us a base hit, I’ll humbly accept

DeJong loved chasing those low changeups in that AB.

Ugly ass at bat there.

What a god awful at bat by Dejong.

Just ****ing terrible. :facepalm:

What a waste.

Welp, that sucked.

I know a great eye doctor, do they need one? Obviously the last two batters need glasses.

Makes me wonder why Anderson doesn't just throw his changeup in the dirt every pitch. LMAO
