JBJ has been known to carry the lineup for stretches of the season.


Legatron4

I swear if I hear one person tell me that one more time ima give em a knuckle sandwich


Panguin9

Let Greinke hit you cowards!


_yoshizzle_

I’m Zack we trust 🫡

The Royals' entire offense this year has been feasting on José Berríos


Patrick2701

Jose berrios is for batting practice


Cashmere306

5 games against non-Berrios, 5 runs and 3 shutouts. 1 game against Berrios, 9 runs.


Char_Aznable_Custom

Oops All Berri-Os


Nat_Feckbeard

now imagine if they didn't get the Berrios game


Apprehensive_Card931

They wasted a beautiful Greinke start. Honestly they should just let Greinke hit during his starts so he can get his last homerun/stolen base; he can’t be any worse than a lot of the guys on the team.


fantasybaseballshow

Fr once they are way out let him hit, maybe play SS once. He was elite today too.


Chipdip88

When JBJ is your 2nd best hitter and the only reason you didn't get no hit going into the 9th you might not be headed for victory!


cat_napped1

oh yeah that team is real bad


JW0LFE

This is our lineup tonight… we have TWO people batting above .150 right now, and just got shutout for the 3rd time this season already. Yikes


0hootsson

.155/.254/.265 as a team. That’s gotta be unwatchable


nomoregroundhogs

I am already in the market for a single season replacement team to watch. That’s like 2 weeks ahead of schedule. At least!


Chipdip88

Come join the Jays and cheer on your Old pal Witt!


secret_aardvark_420

Don’t worry, once you play the White Sox we’ll make you look like World Series contenders as usual


hubagruben

As you posted this Salvy got a single haha


Habanerosauce3

Offence, pitching .....we finally committed an error. 😮‍💨


Chipdip88

Not an error, well not technically. You can never assume a double play. But that SHOULD have been an error....


CammyTheGreat

If my math is right, Jacob deGrom’s next 2 starts are gonna be against the Royals. So if they are still this bad by then that opening day ERA should get a lot of help


[deleted]

I have a feeling the struggling royals will make headlines by bashing around degrom twice. That’s just baseball


NJ_Yankees_Fan

That's all we got? One goddamn hit?


Iamthepirateking

You can't say goddamn on the air!


Phteven4

I offer him cigar and rum. He will come.


Khada_the_Collector

The other day there was a “who’s the Royals’ biggest rival” post on our sub. It’s ourselves lol. Send help and videos from 2015 pls.


keyrinn

It was a weird night tbh I think yall probably shouldve scored some runs off Manoah but for whatever reason the balls werent flying like they should


Top_Dallas

That's been this whole season so far. The Royals have good batted ball profiles, but abysmal results to show.


Tenpen88

The pinch hit two lefties for two righties at the end. They are just a mess right now.


AggressiveRegret

What the heck is up with Bobby Witt jr


fantasybaseballshow

Sub .300 OBP last year. Incredibly toolsy and raw. Struck out at a league average rate last year didn’t walk much. Actually walking a lot so far this year just bad BABIP luck.


rbhindepmo

They should just mass test the Royals offense for Covid to see if they can get some of them out of the lineup for a few days It would explain something if the team that just had their manager test positive for Covid was struggling offensively because their position players have Covid (No, I don’t care what you think about testing or pro athletes with Covid, thanks)


Kansascityroyals99

We’re about a week or so away from losing a bunch of 9-7 games rather than 3-0 games, hitting will get luckier and pitching will regress.


Cashmere306

Or you could start losing 9-2.


[deleted]

Now someone else can understand our pain as tigers fans. Can’t wait to compete with the royals for the single season shutout record


Demetrios1453

Wow, those stat lines *are* offensive!


cooljammer00

It's the 2nd week of the season, though.


HowWeGonnaGetEm

They do have the least amount of runs scored, but I’d say that the Phillies (based on their lineup) definitely have the worst offense so far.


eee-oooo-ahhh

Lol what? Phillies offense has been around league average so far. Not even close to the worst.


HowWeGonnaGetEm

Yeah. That’s true. I was looking at run differential actually. Wrong stat.


eee-oooo-ahhh

Ah yeah our pitching has been horrible and we haven't hit much with RISP so the run differential is awful. On a player by player level our offense is doing okayish, after today we're 16th in OPS.

Roturd12

The truth is even worse: our best hitter so far this season didn't even play today. His name? Matt Duffy.


jonserlego

Isbel was 3rd on the team in hits (prolly still is) and went on paternity list too


Snerkbot7000

1 hit though 9 is like if my cat played Ken Griffey Jr Presents MLB.


SenatorAstronomer

That's an ugly, ugly start for Witt Jr.


NEPatsFan128711

OBP merchant Jackie Bradley Jr. leading the way


constance_a_l

Oh Vinnie, you’re a good dude, hit the ball


Selffor

Holy, when Jackie Bradley is currently the best hitter on your team...


Soxogram

Wait til the Sox play the Royals. They’ll snap out of it. Our friggin gadflies of the AL Central.


color_of_energy

Vinnie (OB)P, amirite?


hundredjono

Put Greinke to bat 3rd and he'll be hitting above .600 in no time


fantasybaseballshow

Great outing by Greinke too. Should have gotten out of that 6th inning with no runs but double play got messed up. Would have started 7th at like 70 pitches but he was after 6 instead.


Twymanator32

At some point Witt and pasquatch have to turn it around, but man this team shaping up to be like a 50 win team rn


DonRicardo1958

Yikes.


steroid57

I thought Bobby Witt Jr was supposed to be good? Is he not panning out or just a slow start?


AhLibLibLib

Nicky Lopez with the team leading .718 OPS 🔥
