**** throw to first or that probably would have been a double play. They just aren't doing many things right.

No I guess not, but when a guy is trying to bunt a guy over, and the pitcher instead gives up a homer, and then plunks the next guy square in the back, I'll take my chances with someone else.

He is safe. Fuck.

He's out after it looked like he came off the base after initially being safe

Evan Sisk looks mighty fine in AAA. Too bad our bullpen is so good that we don't need a guy that has 1.79 ERA, 1.113 WHIP, and has 12.9 strikes/9 over 51 appearances. Don't need no one like that up here.

he came off the base but it looked to me that Bobby nudged his foot off the base with the second tag, not sure that's legal but i'll take it.

The 2024 Royals got on the plane and when it landed, the 2023 Royals got off.

The offense is really lost. Haven't scored more than two runs since Vinnie got injured. Someone needs to step up.

don't think i'd pitch erceg here... this game is pretty much over and I wouldn't want to waste him today just in case we actually have a lead tomorrow.

Why are we pitching him in the 8th?

He's trying to lock it down to try and score runs in the 8th because we have to face Clase in the 9th. It's actually pretty forward thinking.

Yup.

Who would have known that Vinnie meant THAT much to this team?

This team looks like the 106 loss team from last year without him in the lineup. Cannot do anything.

They need to add a legit OF bat in the offseason and I expect they’ll call up Cags at some point next year, if he’s ready.

1. Garcia
2. Witt
3. Vinnie
4. Perez or legit OF bat
5. Legit OF bat or Perez
6. Cags

That’s a legit 1-6 if they can make it happen.

I don't like it... Cleveland hasn't lost many games like this this season and now he's thrown a ton of pitches and probably won't be available tomorrow if we get a lead.

Erceg needed work anyway.
