So the Yankees are 7-1 and the Royals 3-7 with the Cubs and Twins coming up.
Shut it down.

With the blown leads, Royals should be at very least 5-5. At this point, lets just develop our arms, and maybe go on a run. Excited about a lot of our July call-ups.

Yeah. Those young starting pitcher arms are pretty good.

Dozier on his way back will help lineup.

[pdub]

We have 16 walks in 10 games, the worst in baseball.

Flubs and White Sux went a combined 6-0 the last 3 days.
Won't matter when the season is "suspended" and/or cancelled.

Anyone else think of Franco as a chubby Jacque Vaughn when they see him? Not a bad player as well. Not great, but, decent so far.

My brain was not geared for the cross-sport comparison. I thought of Mo Vaughn...no. And Jacque Jones...also no.

This is unwatchable. 2011 bad.

This is unwatchable. 2011 bad.

There is at least some exciting pitching talent to watch. Other than that and Whit....pretty bad so far.

They're in full Washington Generals mode.

Whit hasn't walked since September 19, 2019.

The Royals are doing the whole three true outcomes thing, only without the home runs.

If they can't fix this, from a whole-organization standpoint, no amount of awesome pitchers will matter.

I have to assume if it is/was a live organist, that person will probably lose their job.
If you are not familiar with the Reese McGuire story, check out the TMZ link below.

I would give the organist a stern warning and a raise.

[Deleted User 289]

Need to shut this shit down already.
It's a bad joke and clearly some of the teams and players don't give a damn about following "rules".
Problem is when it affects the teams and players who do care.

Before tonight the Cubs were on pace to be 48-12. Looks like after tonight (another W) they will be 13-3. Team is having a shitload of fun. Which happens when you are loose - and are winning.
What a shame fans can't be in the stands to enjoy it. Like tonight when Yu Darvish has a no no with 9K through 6.
On a related note, first year skipper Grandpa Rossy has to be the manager of the year so far. Is he not?

WTF, Cards still only 2-3. 53 games in the 44 days, including 11 doubleheaders. They are going to be dead meat to a lot of teams.

I feel it's NOT at all fair that teams are forced to play doubleheaders against the Cards because of THEIR stupidity.
I don't have a better suggestion but the suggestion I do have is that people should feel the Cards and Marlins should have to face major repercussions - other than having to play doubleheaders.

Now someone on the Reds has tested positive. Let's see what impact that has.

[Deleted User 289]

Lucas Giolito with a no no tonight. White Sux have strong potential to be a top 5 team in the next year or two.

[pdub]

Braves just scored 29 runs in a game.
The Royals have scored 29 runs total in the last 9 games.
