Not the right things. Obviously. Strike zone bad. Replay call wrong. What a weird game.

Losing good. Feel another spiraling losing streak coming.
Only hope of getting rid of Bozo and Cookie. Carry on. |

I can't wait to see the reaction when they activate Cam Gallagher and send Melendez back down.

So, it being too late to stay up and watch this dumpster fire, I check the box score, and we actually took a 2-0 lead, and then Singer promptly walked in 2 runs.

***Official 2022 Royals Season Repository Thread***
Just over a month ago, Kansas City Royals outfield prospect Diego Hernandez was a relative unknown and was off to a slow start in his first season at the High-A level.
Fast forward to mid-June and Hernandez might be the hottest hitter in all of Minor League Baseball. Hernandez, a 21-year-old left-handed hitter, began the season in a 1-for-15 slump for the Quad Cities River Bandits, and he finished April with a .222/.290/.333 slash line. His struggles at the plate stretched into the second month of the season, and after Quad Cities' May 8 loss to Cedar Rapids, Hernandez was hitting .220/.281/.317. Then something clicked for the Dominican-born outfielder. Hernandez drew a walk in his next game, beginning a 22-game on-base streak that is still ongoing. During the stretch, he's slashing an incredible .388/.464/.588 with five doubles, three triples, two homers and 10 RBIs, along with 10 walks and 15 strikeouts. The 2017 international free agent signee has gotten hotter as the on-base streak has progressed. He's reached base multiple times in 10 straight games and is in the midst of an eight-game hitting streak. During that hitting streak, the beginning of which coincided with the calendar turning to June, Hernandez is batting .472/.525/.806. Even after his cold start, his torrid stretch has vaulted him to second place among qualifying Midwest League hitters in batting average (.305), 10th in on-base percentage (.376), 16th in slugging (.455) and 14th in OPS (.831). While Hernandez has never finished a season with a batting average lower than .263, hitting wasn't necessarily viewed as his specialty coming into this year — he was more highly regarded for his plus defense in center field and speed on the bases. He's continued to showcase those skills in 2022, with just two errors and five assists over 41 games in center and 19 stolen bases in 22 attempts — good for fourth in the Midwest League. It remains to be seen whether he's experiencing a legitimate offensive breakthrough or just an incredibly lucky stretch, but if the 6-foot, 150-pound Hernandez continues to make strides at the plate, he's certainly young and projectable enough that he could begin to skyrocket up the prospect rankings.

I’m the jinx. I turned the game on, saw it being 2 to nothing. Singer gives up a seeing eye double followed by 4 straight walks (I believe). I turned it off and went to bed. I’m sorry guys.
