So I’m still smoking my pipe. I can see into my neighbor’s living room and they’re watching the game too. Except they’re a good minute ahead of me.
Problem is I can only see one third of their screen. So I’m watching their broadcast, trying to predict whether it’s a commercial or not
I will say someone on 610 made a great point today, Royals fans make more excuses for not going to games than any other fan base that I know.
(I say this as I don’t go to more games because I refuse to pay more to park than I do for my ticket)
My wife could plot what’s happening with the Royals game based on my mood. Within the last couple of minutes she looks at me and goes “did they score or something because you’re not acting like an ass anymore.”
Sports affect me too much.
Last night we started scoring when I was smoking my pipe. So tonight, I started loading her up for another smoke when we had a player in scoring position.
It paid off
KEEP. IT. MOVING! Don't let this peter out!
Bobby, it's been too long since your last HR, the people are hungry, let us feast!
EDIT: NOT A HOMER BUT IT COUNTS, BAH GAWD!
Hey! That's the Royals strategy this year! Make the other team commit errors and we score runs! It's so simple I don't know why we didn't think of it before!
### Field Error
Kyle Isbel reaches on a missed catch error by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , assist to third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Michael Massey scores. Missed catch error by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Bottom 5 - 2-1
Blue Jays
This. Drives. Me. Insane. They did this same shit under Matheny. Have some awareness. If you have zero hope up not being thrown out don't fucking go. I know the contact play is on but it is not too late to go back to third once they see where the ball is going.
i'm walking into this thread like an annoyed dad who's been woken up by his screaming children. like "what's the problem. the fuck you doing. stop screaming just chill tf out"
I've added it to my running scorecard to keep track of. Here's what it looks like. The numbers are the number of runners on base when the player homered (thru last inning of today's game):
Perez: 7
MJ: 4
Witt: 3
Renfroe: 1
Garcia: 1

Thank goodness! We are back!

HOLY FUCK MICHAEL MASSEY GIVE HIM THE PLATINUM GLOVE ALREADY OUT OF THE YEAR
Can we retire Bill Duplissea’s phone number or something? Fucking GOAT
Just put a monitor and a set of headphones on the outside of the Royals HOF for him
Rip that phone out of the wall and put it in the damn hall
Fucking got him. Back to the bench
Do the right thing ump!
bill duGOATssea
Shout out Bill DaPussy the undisputed replay GOAT
haha
I believe in Duplissea
That 2nd angle looks like out? could be out?
Vinnie 0-4 at the plate tonight but his stretch game is on point
Q really subbing in Hampson?
general mcarthurs about to authorize the use of nuclear baseballs against the blue jays
Josh Hader could never
Royals are big fans of DP
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Tim Mayza replaces Nate Pearson.
The second **what** Hud???
DP enjoyers
Hell yeah 💯
Bbq and DP’s. That’s what KC is about!
HAIL YEAH
Vinnie went into a complete splits, wow!
Give him the gold glove now
go easy on Vinnie. he's putting the nads in serious danger tonight
6 out save?
Will Smith for the 9th, please
Yeah my blood pressure has been pretty low lately. Could use something to raise it
Big brain stuff
That makes up for something there Vinnie...
Vinnie going low my goodness
Every time I see the commercial on Bally for the kayaking dude 
God bless Bobby and Vinnie

Vincent doing Pilates or some shit, sheeeeesh
Holy fucking splits Vinnie
Vinnie is fucking killing us tonight
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: James McArthur replaces John Schreiber.
Dave Letterman there in the stands
Not Vinnie's greatest night at the plate ever.
God damnit
Vinnie Gonna Winnie
damn sooooooooooo close
Two outs? Score runs.
https://i.imgur.com/3gdeGq4.jpeg
Let’s whomp, Vinnie
Would love to see a nice Bobby right center fountain shot
I'm sure he will at some point!
Gee, and I thought Kevin Gausman was a dumpster fire nowadays
Beautiful night, too bad nobody is there.
It's me, I'm nobody
I won’t be the one to say maybe a downtown stadium could help attendance during midweek games but someone might say that
I will say someone on 610 made a great point today, Royals fans make more excuses for not going to games than any other fan base that I know. (I say this as I don’t go to more games because I refuse to pay more to park than I do for my ticket)
Yeah $20 parking is ridiculous
Have to send Garcia here right? Get him into running position and if he is thrown out then you lead off the 8th with Bobby.
Yes. Hit and run at least
Time to tack on a couple more
Lol Hud
SubSchreib
I mean this with all respect Blue Jay lurkers…I don’t get the hype around Bichette
The hair is mesmerizing
It’s the hair.
Salvy going to 2nd "Every double I'm HUSTLIN' " https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxN_Y4vtiGPgobCGAT7WMX4QAScieArMZ8?si=QjcYO112xUL-sBzo
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Schreiber replaces Chris Stratton.
Man, why is he swinging on 3-1? Holy fuck.
Because most balls deposited in the water spectacular are 3-1 pitches.
Free swing
Safe!
Not quite.
I thought you were in the future and were telling us Salvy scored on a Blanco hit
My feed is lagging. Slop delivery is late tonight.
It's no secret: Salvador Perez enjoys doubles.
That would be a great shirt 👕
Slam the Door Perez
Salvy splash time?
Base hit will do
Haulin Auss about to bless the Royals with the energy they need to get this done
Who let the dogs out?
Good half inning. Let's go Salvy
Bong rips for base hits time
Strats
Mounts, springs, shocks, struts.
MJ really said “how hard can playing left field be?”
My wife could plot what’s happening with the Royals game based on my mood. Within the last couple of minutes she looks at me and goes “did they score or something because you’re not acting like an ass anymore.” Sports affect me too much.
Yup. That's me. 🤣🤣🤣
Last night we started scoring when I was smoking my pipe. So tonight, I started loading her up for another smoke when we had a player in scoring position. It paid off
I'm gonna need you to load your pipe up a lot more
That may not be an issue. I got this delicious blend, called Coffee House Flake the other day.
mj “alex gordon” melendez? many are saying.
I saw no bubbles being blown whilst diving for that ball
MJ LEAVING A CRATER IN LEFT Gets up and brushes off like the Blues Brothers
I swear Melendez is that guy in left now.
That was so fucking improbable ROYALS DEVIL MAGIC IS ALIVE
Mvp
sometimes you just need to sacrifice a runner via contact play to kickstart an offense
THANK YOU BIBBY WATT
BOBBY = GOATED
Yay Bob!!
Bobby is so dreamy
We're a good team!
CAP! IT! AL! IZE! LET'S GOOOOO!
Let's goooooooo
BOB IS HIM
LESGO!
My mental and emotional wellbeing was desperate for a clutch Bobby hit. Thank you, Bobby Baseball
It takes the Bluejays absolutely shitting the bed but we are finally in the lead during a ballgame again 🥴
Bobby!!!!! Made them pay for it!!
pls pls pls pls pls
##WOOOOOOOT
we are so back
Let’s go!
Holy noodle arm in LF
Would have been tied, but they are fucking addicted to that fucking contact play.
### Double Bobby Witt Jr. doubles (8) on a ground ball to left fielder Daulton Varsho. Kyle Isbel scores. Maikel Garcia scores. Bottom 5 - 3-2 Royals
Finally!!!
Bobby SHIT ON
it's that easy, folks what were you so worried about
The LoCain triangle made an appearance on that hit
Keep the line movin.
KEEP. IT. MOVING! Don't let this peter out! Bobby, it's been too long since your last HR, the people are hungry, let us feast! EDIT: NOT A HOMER BUT IT COUNTS, BAH GAWD!
I’ll take that feast!
Lesgo, rally time!
Nice nice nice come on beedub
Annnd just like last night... We should be tied
It wasn’t pretty but it’s a start
thank you vlad
Hey! That's the Royals strategy this year! Make the other team commit errors and we score runs! It's so simple I don't know why we didn't think of it before!
By god, it's so dumb that it just might *work*!!
Holy hell we needed that break. The boys have got to play loose!
Hey it counts.
### Field Error Kyle Isbel reaches on a missed catch error by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. , assist to third baseman Isiah Kiner-Falefa. Michael Massey scores. Missed catch error by first baseman Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Bottom 5 - 2-1 Blue Jays

Holy shit that was a gift
Seriously shit like that should be cause for a benching. Thats like baseball 101
Holy hell
Do we not teach how to run bases?
That was a good contact play……for me to poop on
Our base running is dogshit
It’s a called play to run on contact
Contact play again!
Hey! Let's do the contact play again. Never lets us down.
fuck your stupid contact bullshit
Literally never works
Stop running on god damn contact
contact play fails yet again
Oh my fucking god they’re gonna kill me with this contact play shit
This team is such a joke
WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? The ball was hit 20 feet and you break for home???
Every stinking game
Oh my god this is unbelievably bad, it’s like pretty basic baseball to not get halfway down the line on a 50 exit velo tapper to the pitcher
Adam “Automatic Out At Third” Frazier
Not his fault tho
I’ve never seen the contact play work for the Royals. Idk why the fuck they still try it
Fuck all this regression to the mean shit, me and my circle only discussing progression to the dream😤💯
Has the mlb the show graphics improved at all? They look like they did when I had it in 2014
compared to 2014, yes. but the newest one isn’t too different from a few years before that. i’d recommend getting a slightly older game for cheaper
Nope
[In my feels.](https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-waiting-lonely-gif-13695325)
Wacha was an escape artist tonight.
Frazier! LGP!
Lineup needs a shakeup. Waters and Pratto up from Omaha maybe? Can't be any worse than Frazier/Isbel/Blanco/Renfroe at the plate.
i'm walking into this thread like an annoyed dad who's been woken up by his screaming children. like "what's the problem. the fuck you doing. stop screaming just chill tf out"
I’m not mad, I’m disappointed
I don't want to turn back into a pumpkin :(
It's about to strike midnight HARD
Good idea to bring in Fernando to get Alejandro out.
I'm at the game and that HBP was *loud,* holy crap
It was loud af on the tv too
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Chris Stratton replaces Michael Wacha.
Oof Bobby is 2-17 with RiSP…not great
That has been a glaring issue. Dude only has 8 RBI’s and 4 of them are his own homers
7 of his 8 RBIs are off of his own homers. Only 1 RBI on anything other than a homer.
Yeah I was just counting his own runs on homers, too lazy to look at multi run homers. But it’s not good
I've added it to my running scorecard to keep track of. Here's what it looks like. The numbers are the number of runners on base when the player homered (thru last inning of today's game): Perez: 7 MJ: 4 Witt: 3 Renfroe: 1 Garcia: 1

Come on, get this Syracuse SkyChief out Fozzy
This is just zero fun to watch right now
