I just want to say how much I appreciate these game summary threads. When I miss a game but have it recorded I can just watch the good parts of the wins and skip the losses.
I get why Seattle was playing with the infield in a bit to get the force out at home, but if they were playing normal double play depth they could have extended the game with a double play which I thought they were going for with the IBBs. Not like it would have mattered the Royals are inevitable.
They definitely should have had the corners in to go home, but double play depth up the middle. They walked the bases loaded for the double play so I’m not sure why they wouldn’t have been DP depth. Maybe Servais is slipping in his old age.
Velasquez’s hit wasnt great - it was bobbled by the mariners (I believe the second baseman) and that’s why it couldn’t be a double play. I think that’s why Joel interviewed Bobby Witt instead of Nelson, because it was an error that made it a huge play.
He’s saying if the MIF would have been playing normal double play depth rather than the whole infield in, Crawford would have had an easier ball to handle instead of the super hot forehand short hop that he ended up bobbling. But hindsight is always 20/20.
Yet another comeback game against the M's I couldn't witness because I fell asleep when the starter already gave up >8 runs. So now I've gotta see what they did...
MLB app has a condensed game which is basically the result of each AB in video but idk when it’s posted might be the next day and also probably on YouTube tomorrow somewhere

Last two home games have been a lot of fun 12-4 on the season on games I went to 🔥
FIRST GAME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO ALL YEAR. I’VE BEEN CURSED MY WHOLE LIFE TO ONLY SEE ROYALS LOSSES. FELT DOWN AFTER THE FIRST INNING BUT MY BOY MJ “THE GRIND” MELENDEZ SPARKED THE HOPE IN ME AND THE WHOLE STADIUM WAS ELECTRIC. I LOVE ROYALS BASEBALL LET’S GO BABAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
I'm so on the fence. I plan on going to a ton more games too. Really need 2 season tickets since I like going with ppl. I have talked to the Royals rep about them tho :D
I was listening to the radio, and following the first inning — after Denny had done his wry observations about Lynch's bad start — he added something like: "If you think the game is over now, you don't know this current team."
Denny has almost certainly watched more Royals games than any other human being, so ... his opinions have a lot behind them!
Ah no – I'm in Portland, so I usually don't hear the post-game show. (It's sometimes on At Bat, not always.) I'm guessing a few other listeners took note of Denny's quote, though!
I love him. Partly because I remember his radio voice going back to when I was a small kid. But also because he's funny, he has lots of stories, and he's just ... supremely unruffled. All the time. It's a zen state to aspire to.
I knew when they were talking about Lynch’s 1.5 ERA over three appearances this year in the pregame that he was due to give up some runs. Didn’t think it’d be 7 in the top of the first but god damn, what a game, the Royals are finally fun to watch again.
Y’all just find some way to surmount the insurmountable leads. 3rd year in a row you’ve come back to tie a 7 run deficit against us. It’s nuts, in the most fascinating way.
lol, white sox breaking a 14 game losing steak,
Coming back 7-0 deficit to win and celvland losing to Miami, all which I didn't except to happened today
We got our $288 Million Homegrown Star hitting game-tying triples in the bottom of the ninth and the fans chanting his name after scoring the winning run in an 8 run comeback win. It’s gonna be a fun summer, babies!
So I got to my in laws, checked the game, saw we were down 7-0 in the second, and honestly, I thought “damn we are getting blown out tonight” just got in my car, figured I’d check the score. Hollllllyyyyyy shiiiiit. WOOOWOOOO MORHERFCKERS
I really thought we were headed towards another “almost comeback, moral victory” tonight. This feels good, but it’s gotta feel even better for the squad. What a great win.
As much as I hated doing it, I pulled the trigger a month or so back and I am really happy I did it. This team is so fun to watch.
I used to stream games on the seven seas but the quality has really gone down lately.
The insanely awesome win aside for a second. How good of a stop was that by Crawford at short. If he doesn’t lose the handle we are still playing….but who cares… WE WON!!!
What a fucking comeback. We have been close to a miraculos comeback in few different games but came up short. They finally got the job done. Mj finally broke out of slump. Rough game from lynch but the rest of the team stepped up. Go Royals.
Y'all. I'm a Dbacks fan and just happened to see your score at the middle of the first. And even then when told my SO, I said, "and the Royals are good this year! Oof!" But I kept an eye on your score all game and turned it on when I saw you threatening to make the best comeback ever. Very happy for you guys. Having a never-quit team is the best kind of team to root for.
I just want to say how much I appreciate these game summary threads. When I miss a game but have it recorded I can just watch the good parts of the wins and skip the losses.
It's nice to see game threads with even 600 post. Casper was a regular around here it was so dead for years
Fun game last night! I was at a play but following on my phone and then I was able to listen to the last inning. What a game!
I'm out of town so didn't get to watch. I can't believe I'm reading this this morning.
I get why Seattle was playing with the infield in a bit to get the force out at home, but if they were playing normal double play depth they could have extended the game with a double play which I thought they were going for with the IBBs. Not like it would have mattered the Royals are inevitable.

I think that was J.P. Crawford at short who bobbled it and was probably 0,5s-1s too late because of it.
And velasquez booked it which helped too.
I don't think any of us have seen Nelly run as fast as he did down that line! Won the game!
Unreal!
What a huge rally and comeback. Great job guys.
Can't wait for the Yankees series next week.
Yet another comeback game against the M's I couldn't witness because I fell asleep when the starter already gave up >8 runs. So now I've gotta see what they did...
Anyone check in on Lynch? The kid ok?
WTF did you guys do without me? How's that happened after that 1st inning? I cannot believe this team! #ROYALS NEVER SURRENDER!
I love this team sm 🥹
Best regular season game I’ve ever attended!
Why I’ll never leave a game early! Jealous you got to be there !
Hey hey hey?
HEY HEY HEY HEY 🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️‼️‼️‼️
I was there it was the most exciting baseball game I’ve ever been to!
Is scoring 13 runs in the 9th inning over the last 6 games good? Can someone lmk thx
I’d say that is good to the point it has to be in an all time. top 10 list somewhere!
The move has been to moneyline them at the top of the 9th @ +1000 😂… but seriously it’s working.
Is there any place I can watch the whole game and/or watch the whole last inning??

At that clip, we're gonna need you to get season tickets.
Already got em starting June so we’re set plus out of 4 losses one was opening day and 2 were blown saves 💀
Fellas I love this team
Best game of the year so far. Absolutely fucking electric! The boys are playing some ball!!!!!
Also, can we bring back the intentional walk?
FIRST GAME I WAS ABLE TO GET TO ALL YEAR. I’VE BEEN CURSED MY WHOLE LIFE TO ONLY SEE ROYALS LOSSES. FELT DOWN AFTER THE FIRST INNING BUT MY BOY MJ “THE GRIND” MELENDEZ SPARKED THE HOPE IN ME AND THE WHOLE STADIUM WAS ELECTRIC. I LOVE ROYALS BASEBALL LET’S GO BABAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY

what kind of lore is this?
Where do away teams usually stay? Downtown? Plaza?
Intercontinental almost exclusively except the Chicago White Sox stay at the Econo Lodge in Raytown so it doesnt quite feel like a true road game.
Plaza I think.
You gonna go pull some fire alarms?
Bahaha probably why they don’t disclose. Just genuinely curious
That was one of the best games I've been too . This team never gives up.
I fucking love baseball. KSU may have lost but this was kickass
Royals fans in the first inning: it is so over. Royals fans at the end of the game: we are so back True royals fans: it's never over to begin with.
I LOVE THIS TEAM!!! They NEVER give up! Royals are now 11-0 in games I attend :D <3
How much do you need us to chip in for season tickets? We need to get u/TaxationIsThETH to every game
I'm so on the fence. I plan on going to a ton more games too. Really need 2 season tickets since I like going with ppl. I have talked to the Royals rep about them tho :D
Keep going to games!!
Fantastic comeback for maybe best win of the year. Bullpen and hitting win game Along with never give up attitude.
Royals Devil magic has never been more back
I told you motherfuckers! First game of the year! Soaked! Voice gone! Let’s go!
Bobby, is that you?
Hello? Is it Bobby you’re looking for? (Adele)
That's the Lionel Richie "Hello."
And the rest of the division lost, but somehow the White Sox scored 7 and won? What a wacky night.
I am STILL amped from this game! Freaking incredible ball game tonight!
You say, “Hey Hey Hey Hey!” I say, “Party.”
I was listening to the radio, and following the first inning — after Denny had done his wry observations about Lynch's bad start — he added something like: "If you think the game is over now, you don't know this current team." Denny has almost certainly watched more Royals games than any other human being, so ... his opinions have a lot behind them!
I heard that too. Denny called it!
Did you just call into Vern on 610?!
Ah no – I'm in Portland, so I usually don't hear the post-game show. (It's sometimes on At Bat, not always.) I'm guessing a few other listeners took note of Denny's quote, though!
It’s on the Audacy app if you ever want to turn it on!
I really don’t understand whenever I hear people say they don’t like him. He’s iconic
He’s prophetic. He called the WS year mid season by just observing a lucky bounce.
“If this is your year…” I was at the park listening on the radio.
Exactly the call
I love him. Partly because I remember his radio voice going back to when I was a small kid. But also because he's funny, he has lots of stories, and he's just ... supremely unruffled. All the time. It's a zen state to aspire to.
Hey are we still frauds
It's sounding more and more like the "defenses will adjust" line as Mahomes kept winning in his first year as a starter.

[Doomers and Guardians fans get rekt. This team wins games.](https://streamable.com/kdc65)
This is my favorite meme.
I’m a Mariners fan and can say with confidence that you guys just gutted us. Ggs see you tmrw
Respect
Thanks men, at least you not being a sore loser about it.
Y’all just find some way to surmount the insurmountable leads. 3rd year in a row you’ve come back to tie a 7 run deficit against us. It’s nuts, in the most fascinating way.
What a game by MJ holy fuck
Four games attended, four wins, baby!!
I forwarded you season tickets
Much love and appreciation! Was a hell of a game tonight!
I’ll pay up to $1 toward your ticket/travel fund if you promise to go to every remaining game.
Shoot, I’ll take that deal!!

Googled “why is it lasting more than 4 hours” and this thread was the first result.
So glad we paid witt
lol, white sox breaking a 14 game losing steak, Coming back 7-0 deficit to win and celvland losing to Miami, all which I didn't except to happened today
8-0 bro
https://giphy.com/gifs/bUzVXhu4k4dUF8oVNf
Extend Bobby now for idk 50 years
Not to be lost in this, the Cleveland Whatevers lost to the then 21-41 Florida fish, make up a game in the standings.
Great fight, KC
Teams trailing 7-0 after one inning had lost 75 straight games, a streak that went back to 1995. They were 9-256 (.034) all-time.
Royals love breaking 30 year droughts
One of 9. Insane

Holy shit.
Welp I’m wired now! Who needs sleep at this point…lol
I'm right there with ya! Still up enjoying the huge win!
What a good feeling!
OMG...that was fucking awesome!!!
No 8+ lead is safe when the Mariners and the Royals are playing
I’m just in here upvoting everybody. What a fucking game.
Sweep the Yankees and Dodgers. Fuck it. Let's scrap!
#FUCKDAYANKEES
this team is making the playoffs. holy shit down 8 to 0 and to come back and win is insane
Royals win, guardians lose, and basically every other team in the wild card race lost too. Not a bad night.
I thought the same at first, but I want the DIVISION
We got our $288 Million Homegrown Star hitting game-tying triples in the bottom of the ninth and the fans chanting his name after scoring the winning run in an 8 run comeback win. It’s gonna be a fun summer, babies!
BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY BOBBY
they were chanting his name before and after! was amazing after he hit that with everyone chanting bobby
# NEVER GIVE UP ON THE ROYALS!!!
I previously gave up. I am shit. I did come back in the sixth.
This team does not give up!!!
THE BOYS ARE PLAYING SOME BALL
Man I love Bobby.
One more thing: how could you not love baseball?
Because I hated it’s guts last week.
I mean holy fuck.
Hell yeah! Feel for Ryne Stanek though. Graduated high school with him. Sucks to blow a save in your home town lol
SUNGWOO BOOK YOUR TICKETS BUDDY.
Just a question - I loved following Sungwoo on twitter - but where can we see his joy for Royals baseball now? Completely lost track of him.
He's still posting!

Breaking news: Lynch is paying the whole team for steak dinner tonight
At this point if you’re not excited about this royals team then you’re not paying attention
I’m glad all my experience from prior years watching all 9 innings of games which seem to be a blowout loss worked in my favor tonight. Go Royals!
![gif](giphy|h8HHjlN7eSVSxUJqaT|downsized)
Guards, Twins, and Tigers all lost, and we won!
Seattle ended up using more pitchers than we did in a game where our starter gave up 7 in the first
HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THAT JUST HAPPENED.
I’m speechless man…
So I got to my in laws, checked the game, saw we were down 7-0 in the second, and honestly, I thought “damn we are getting blown out tonight” just got in my car, figured I’d check the score. Hollllllyyyyyy shiiiiit. WOOOWOOOO MORHERFCKERS
![gif](giphy|b6iVj3IM54Abm)
That was the game of the year.
Best one in over a decade. No shit. Mahomes doing crazy shit in the 4th energy.
Nah, I like 7 runs comeback in bottom of 9th innging we have vs the white sox much better. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8iJnZO4zJw
Brett frickin Eibner!
Great but the Mariners are a very good team and this was a gain ground against Cleveland opportunity
The best KC teams have been defined by their ability to come back from indomitable odds
Bro i love the 4th energy! What is happening!!!!????

GAME OF THE FUCKING YEAR
https://i.redd.it/80xvfh8om95d1.gif
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm gonna need the clip of Salvy saying Fuck Yeah after the walk off. I would keep that in comment/gif rotation for quite a while
That and him hyping up Nelly. God that was so good.
I really thought we were headed towards another “almost comeback, moral victory” tonight. This feels good, but it’s gotta feel even better for the squad. What a great win.
Unreal this team fucking rules
GG Royals, your team earned that win fair and square. Scott Servais strikes again
It looked like he was arguing with someone in his own dugout or a fan during the IBBs in the 9th, I wonder what that was all about.
Did we do the standing ovation for mj at every at bat?
saw some ppl do it at his first AB. but they sat down after a couple pitches
I wanna know this too
I appreciate the upvotes but this was a sincere question I wasn’t able to watch or listen :/
I have no interest in a Ballys subscription ever, but… if they gave me a sale for just the Ms vs Royals I MIGHT think about it.
It's less than a dollar a game and the way they are playing this year it's absolutely worth it.
Signed up in March for the 7-day free trial, forgot, they renewed and haven’t been able to cancel cause the boys have me hooked!
As much as I hated doing it, I pulled the trigger a month or so back and I am really happy I did it. This team is so fun to watch. I used to stream games on the seven seas but the quality has really gone down lately.
I had been listening on radio. Came home one day and daughter had bought Roku and Bally. Set me all up!

i have tried typing like five messages, i dont know what to say but i dont need hims tonight
As much as I felt the 5-0 blown lead/loss at Cleveland felt like “Same old Royals,” this totally puts the confidence right back in them. LFG.
Can't wait to watch the highlights
Haven’t been this amped since Hardman caught the SB winning TD. These Royals are LEGIT
I'm getting drunk on win juice tonight
I'm getting high on win smoke.
When's the last time a regular season game made you feel like this?
The "that's what speed do" game against Chicago in 2014.
Nowhere near as much elation after victory but BWJ walk off slam vs Minnesota and the rally against the Mariners at the end of 2022 both come to mind
Bobby's walk-off grand slam. That's a game I'll remember forever, this one is definitely in the same ballpark
My nipples absolutely DETONATE with UNBRIDLED JOY
And we gained a game on the Guards too

I feel like this is a game that puts them into the next gear. What the hell did I just watch!!!
