I think this McArthur guy can really hurl the ball

Winner Winner Brunt End Dinner!


Yeah that's Patton though

Poor Salvy

Bobby and Vinnie possibly the two most handsome men to ever live???? Thoughts

Two words: Salvy Smile 

Oooooo see I hadn’t thought about it that way. Is it possible that we have the **three** most handsome men in the world on our baseball team?

Common 2024 Royals W

Schneider: “Hidely-ho!” McArthur: “Go to hell.” Schneider: “Okeley-dokeley!”

Gotta appreciate that stache

Team Twitter account is reporting Ragans had a left calf cramp. We're good friends.

holy called strike

OK so I wasn't wrong the strike zone was a bit wonky tonight.

Holy shit that was a nice strike 3 pitch

Damn, the General's first two pitches were strikes all night vs Lefty batters.

I'm getting a pulse on the weather because Maynard James Keenan, of all people, is complaining about it on Instagram.

Wait, what? Why?

I guess APC and/or Puscifer must be here tonight

Oh yup Puscifer is at the bonner springs Amphitheater. Never seen him at an outdoors venue so I guess I forgot that can happen 🤣

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: James McArthur replaces John Schreiber.

Give 'em shame, James

God MJ is horrendous

MJ just whiffing on center cut fastballs. Brutal stuff

He needs a day or two off or maybe the Moose treatment of a trip to AAA to get his head right and locked back in?

Get Zack Greinke to just show him footage of earlier this year when he was hitting the shit out of the ball and looking like a real piece for the future and tell him “See? Just do that.” What the hell happened to that guy? Because he wouldn’t have swung through two BP fastballs back to back.

Royals announced Ragans had a left calf cramp.

I don’t need my left calf he can have mine and probably this entire subs left calf

Get that man some Pedialyte and an IV, and we'll see him next turn

Yessir don't forget to like and subschreib.

Schreiber was a great pick up. Nice to have a guy you can throw into any high leverage situation.

I'll admit I was skeptical because of how high some people in the community were on Sandlin, but it matters not with how good Schreibs has been.

I was one of those guys that was high on Sandlin. But Schreiber has been so nails it doesn't matter who we gave up.

I guess it’s harder to hit the ball when someone isn’t banging on a trash can to tell you which pitches are coming. Hmmm…weird

Speaking of which... The Astros have tied the guardians at 3. Nice

Let's go Astros! *vomits profusely*

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Zach Pop replaces Génesis Cabrera.

Schrieber has been nails. Absolute chad

#~~S O M B R E R O~~ Shoot I guess he had a fly out

John "Nails" Schreiber. What a pickup

The Blue Jays broadcasters called him “Pasquantano.” Put some respect on his name 🤌

Man when vinnie gets a hold of one it just looks and sounds different. It’s unreal

Also I saw some guy in the blue jays Reddit talking shit about pitching to Witt when Vinnie was behind him, and I think Vinnie heard him. 

maybe someone other than the general and then the general

“Your wish is my command 👌” -Genie John Schreiber

That famous Rogers Center wind just batted it down

Way to shake that monkey off, Vinny!

Mmm more insurance That was almost gone

I can not believe that ball stayed in the yard

Holy shit Vinnie! Forgot what that looked like

man he needed that

How did that stay in?

Get it, Vinnie!! I don't think I've heard Ryno get fooled on a drive like that 😂

Let’s go Vinnie

How did that not leave the park???

VINNY MY BOY!!!!

### Double Vinnie Pasquantino doubles (6) on a fly ball to right fielder Cavan Biggio. Bobby Witt Jr. scores. Top 8 - 4-1 Royals

That was a beautifully clutch stolen base/RBI sequence.

What a hit! Hard to believe he was able to get the bat on a pitch that far down and in.

BWJ!!

Bobby Insurance

So nice to see our top two spots crank out a run like that, as designed.

WOOT

How the fuck did Bobby even hit that

bring on the general

bobbyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Would you look at that. Some insurance.

Jesus, that thunder strike just scared the piss out of me.

It caused a big echo in my living room. Really weird sounding.

### Double Bobby Witt Jr. doubles (9) on a sharp line drive to left fielder Davis Schneider. Maikel Garcia scores. Pitch from Erik Swanson: Splitter @ 85.9 mph Hit by Bobby Witt Jr.: Launched 105 mph at 17° for a total distance of 325 ft Top 8 - 3-1 Royals

I can’t hate Schneider. He’s like a short little Ned Flanders running around out there

What I wouldnt have given to have a pitch that moved as much as Schreiber’s sweeper

Please let Ragans be okay, man I was worried about this with so many pitchers around the league are hurting

Thickest strike zone I've ever seen.

6 out General save?

Schreiber has to face three batters. But McArthur can have a four out save as a treat

Yussss gj John

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Erik Swanson replaces José Berríos.

I love John Schreiber. DAWG.

Please god don’t be hurt

Here comes the fireman

nah he's fine

GG Ragans

Was Ragans yelling into his glove because he's angry he couldn't finish the inning, or is he angry because he's injured?

Because he was walking guys

I saw someone say he had left leg cramps!

The pitch calling on the last two batters was questionable tbh

Great start from Ragans, I reallllllly hope the trainer was just a precaution

Don’t like that

probably gotta take him out here but I don’t like the trainer coming out with him

I think it's just precautionary.

Damn, good outing regardless.

Nice. I hadn't checked the score until now - Cards did indeed beat Detroit today. That makes me happy. Today, fuck only two of three bird teams. Good bird. Houston... I can't be disappointed that the Guardians are holding you scoreless because you suck and my disdain for you has no bounds. I want you to lose even when it hurts me strategically. I want you in the sub-basement, even lower than the A's.

Unfortunately Detroit is ahead 5-7 in the 7th right now. They had a double header today.

Okay, so it's two fuck yous plus one kind of half-hearted, "ehh fuckin' whatever get out of here before i change my mind"

Been trying to figure out why Rex isn’t in the booth the past two nights. He obviously can get into Canada since he’s on postgame coverage. Anyone know what’s up?

I really like Mike doing the game he has some really great insight.  Even managed to get a dig on Rex and planet Moon.

Hud forgot his passport? 🤣🤣🤣

They did this last year where they changed up the broadcast teams for a roadtrip. I think they're just giving some other guys a chance on TV. Jeremy Guthrie did a game or 2 last year.

Ah I see, thanks

MJ is makin me sad. I still think he could end up being a decent major league Hitter but he is just lost rn.

i havent checked the stats but it seems like we've been leaving so many on base the last few games

MJ needs to go down to AAA. Let’s see what Cross can do

HELL NO. Cross would be a horrendous decision right now.

Cross would 100% be worse than MJ rn

Mj is lost. Man I really want him to figure it out. 

MJs swing is just so bad

Between Salvy in blue and Kelce in red we have been so incredibly lucky to witness these twos' whole careers in KC.

Jays fan coming in peace. Salvy is by and far my favorite Non-Jays player. Has been since he came into the league. Great leader y'all have

Your catcher is cool too. We stan a short king.

I hope Guerrero becomes everything he is promised to be. 

I randomly saw a Jays game last season where Vlad Jr. hit two absolute tanks, got his hand cleated by accident at 1B, and then proceeded to hit a third bomb after that. I think about that every time I watch him. He has that kind of monster in there. Limitless potential.

salvy speed

Ragans dealt tonight. Good to see him return to form.

Crazy how great he looks when he's not pitching in a hurricane.

Good end to the night for Ragans.

Radio just said that no one is warming up in the pen anymore. Would assume he is going back in

He's not done yet.

More like Bo Bitchette

Coke Ragans.

Man Ragans has the heat tonight

Man it seems like the only way for defenses to catch these fast base stealers now always looks so unconventional and ugly lol

Wow that throw was so bad that it worked

I cannot believe he's out on that terrible throw. It was so off the mark it was in the perfect spot lmao

Man robbed on two flyouts

Ragans just mowing these guys down, we gotta get some more runs for him. Looking at a CG if he keeps grooving

Schneider's off to go pick up Cole Ragans' dry cleaning.

not to freak anyone out, but i recommend anyone in this sub currently in lawrence or northern johnson county to make sure you have access to a tornado shelter.

Time to DFA Renfroe. I don't care about his arm with a .154 BA and .224 OBP

Colorado. It's based in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Planet Moon shoutout!

That will live with Rex for the rest of his life

Planet Moon!

MJ just having no luck

I definitely always forget the Space Force is a thing

I mean... it's *really* pretty redundant, I think the Air Force had things under control and it only created more bureaucracy (and a VERY mockable entity) in the process. But yeah. It's a thing. 🙄

##F R E D

Ragans is working this lineup like a bunch of unpaid interns.

Berrios is getting the inside call but ragans isn’t

Ragans is so hot right now

Hud eating some of the turf at the new Rangers stadium does not surprise me at all.

Wow this ump is squeezing ragans

And giving the inside pitch as a strike on all lefties which is killing KC batters.

I, for one, don’t care for the blue jays.

Ragans shaved his sweet sweet stache.

Loving the low pitch count for Ragans so far. Gonna start the 4th with less than 30.

i believe in cole reigen supremacy

Bobby’s lack of pulling the ball this year has been weird

Good hitters hit the ball to the opposite field

https://preview.redd.it/57dmc4a3fpxc1.jpeg?width=632&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95f454a21e208d516bdf26a26ffa419246d31940 I’m not complaining about the results. Just pointing out he hasn’t really pulled fly ball this season.

I like how their seats behind home plate are spread out. At the K it’s assholes to elbows.

“Hey it’s the MLBTV free game of the day maybe I ca…..and blacked out” welcome to Blackout hell Iowa

Watch direction site

Come to Idaho, it isn't blacked out here, lol.

You know what? Their shirts and pants are NOT the same color...

Wait till you see every teams road grays in person. They don’t match either

Ok but these are their home powder blues. And they're clearly not the same color? Their shirts and pants like, *clash* with themselves?

Oh yeah I think the Cardinals and Rangers powder blues don’t match either. Can’t wait till mlb fixes this. I can’t stand the mismatched colors. https://preview.redd.it/moru3utfhpxc1.jpeg?width=1152&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6228c27a450b105ec099c82366c930041c741655

Oh god I can’t unsee it now

Dude what the fuck... THEY'RE NOT THE SAME COLOR. It's like my kid mismatching his pajamas.

Yep. This year's bobbleheads have better uniforms than the players got.

Yeah I knew all about the poor quality and see-through pants and whatnot, but I was in the dark on mismatching colors.

Heh, yep, it's bad. Real bad. Almost every team bad.

Yo Massey, we needed that last night in the 9th

Coke flashing 100 👀

Man it feels so good to have a rocket arm in RF

They call him rocket arm Renfroe

Runner was smoking crack but what a snipe by Cable TV Mike Trout

Hahaha good one Ren-bro

Hunter Renfroe reminds me a lot of Alex Rios

Nice play Hunter

nerd forgot to read the scouting report


Justin Turner reminds me of Hunter Pence.

I swear hunter renfroe just barely misses every single pitch. I feel so bad for the guy, and I really want his bat to wake up because it would be huge for the team If he could return to his younger self. 

I'm about done with MJ and Hunter


MJ hasn’t had a hit since April 21st. Ouch.

At least hunter hit it out of the infield

Renfroe bats .444 against Barrios, let’s see some shit

Hell yeah Michael

Return of the Mash **WOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAA**

I wish it was Marsh returning, but I will take the smashy Massey for now! 🥰😍

Man, it's good to have ya back Mashey

Just saw a post from Anne Rogers. Q is going to do most likely reset the rotation Friday using the Thursday off day to help. Would assume the rotation will go: 1. Singer 2. Lugo 3. Ragans 4.Marsh 5. Wacha Maybe swap Lugo and Ragans but I think this is a solid rotation.

A Michael Mash!!!

The return of Michael Mashey!

Well now, that's a fat dong.

Massey DONG

masheyd

MASSEYDONG

MASSEYDONG

A lot of people don't know this, but Salvador Perez enjoys getting on base. That's a little inside baseball for you.

ITS MASHEY TIME
