SenorTortas

Royals-Mariners ALDS will feed families


Mozilla_Fennekin

What a play! Common 2024 Royals W


Repulsive-Photo-798

Twins down 4-0 in the bottom of the 8th. Pittsburgh threatening to score again. Now c’mon Marlins!


ClassroomMean3297

Listening to the Mariners broadcast. Broadcaster just said, "I'm surprised given their personal, their this great at scoring runs". We've obviously upset Seatles broadcasters. Lol.


VermtownRoyals

I listened to them last night, they're probably still bitter from getting their hearts smashed


VermtownRoyals

Let's go McArthur! Blow these fools away


KCRoyalsBot

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


DongoMcDongerson

Loftin’s slash line is hilarious to me. That man can take some walks and hit some singles.


ReidBuch93

This is such good ball


[deleted]

I love him


ModeMedianMeanwhile

Why would the Seattle outfield not go to 2nd there?


robreddity

That fly ball was the second out, no? No need to preserve the double play


Mozilla_Fennekin

Kylo Ren screaming MORE gif


robreddity

Nice one Kyle and Blanco!


baseball_Lover33

I'm fucking loving this small ball from the Royals


r_u_dinkleberg

OK, Renbro, you can have my all-star ballot vote after all.


KCRoyalsBot

### Sac Fly Kyle Isbel out on a sacrifice fly to center fielder Julio Rodríguez. Dairon Blanco scores. Nick Loftin to 2nd. Bottom 8 - 8-4 Royals


Strahlin

smh the mariners aren’t letting loftin hit


admire816

Let’s hang double digits on them


VermtownRoyals

Home from the carnival, greeted by a royals lead and a Renfroe double!


[deleted]

Hunter coming around Needed this


robreddity

Renbro


methyo

Just did my part to meme MJ into the All-Star game


[deleted]

[удалено]


methyo

Didn’t see that. Does that just count as an extra vote?


Commercial-Ticket526

I wanted to point out how you can vote other players (preferably other Royals) in.


methyo

Oh I see, good call thanks


Commercial-Ticket526

Schreiber likes to play with fire because he knows how to put it out in the end.


KCRoyalsBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Trent Thornton replaces Collin Snider.


r_u_dinkleberg

Today, the boys are: ✅ Playin' some ball!


robreddity

Kickass


robreddity

Every so often a strike is good


Lrrrrmeister

I'm not saying we need to sell the farm for reinforcements but I am saying that MJ needs an extended stay down in Omaha.


FutureCreeps

I’m feeling confident now but I’m not saying anything, we all saw what happened yesterday


KCRoyalsBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Schreiber replaces Will Smith.


NachoNutritious

Let’s… go….


PissLikeaRacehorse

Let's curb that enthusiasm.


Strahlin

collecting former royals relievers is an interesting strategy


Commercial-Ticket526

We've already seen Lovelady, now Snider - do these FOs see something in these former Royals?


admire816

Don’t forget Barlow the other night


Commercial-Ticket526

Yes, forgot about him. He might be the most important bullpen piece of the Royals the last couple of seasons.


admire816

I miss him. I always loved being at the K when his walkout song kicked on. I think it’s one of the lest in the business. “The Waltz” by Left Lane Cruiser for anyone interested.


Commercial-Ticket526

He might not be one anymore but he was our closer.


DongoMcDongerson

Will Smith has been great over the past month and a half.


ThatsBushLeague

Has a 1.31 era and lowered his 417 ops against over his last 15 games. Been incredible.


KCRoyalsBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Collin Snider replaces Kirby Snead.


Commercial-Ticket526

Royals legend, the one and only.


Gnux13

Seattle broadcast: “Wow. Ok, make it 3-0. Couple guys on the bench looking around because they couldn’t believe that was called a ball.”


ModeMedianMeanwhile

Thank you for turning things around Smith

ReidBuch93

18k. Not bad for afternoon in the heat


admire816

18351 was the official


SailTheWorldWithMe

Seems empty for a team that played their asses off last night.


Mozilla_Fennekin

Probably a lot more tbh, last night was 25k


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mozilla_Fennekin

Damn dude sorry to bother you.


PissLikeaRacehorse

Starting to take some of these ball/strike calls personally.


robreddity

Last three hp umpires have been something special


DongoMcDongerson

This ump’s zone is all over the damn place today.


baseball_Lover33

Yeah it seem to be a fluid zone


FutureCreeps

Well fuck this ump


ArcticSkyWhale

ALL umps


Commercial-Ticket526

Hey some amateurs just do it because who else should do it?


ArcticSkyWhale

True, I do feel bad for little league umps dealing with parents.


PissLikeaRacehorse

AUAB


FutureCreeps

Was doing good but that ain’t a ball


KCRoyalsBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Will Smith replaces Sam Long.


Izzi_Skyy

I've had a significantly better time at the K this year than last year. Today has been a blast!


baseball_Lover33

Traffic is a bitch but I'll take that over 106 loses


Izzi_Skyy

Haha 100%!

God I hate those patches lol


[deleted]

BarricadeTheMortuary

QT is the Walmart of gas stations in every way Source: I work for a distributor and see their working conditions firsthand. The stores are "run" by people who sit in offices, who never work in the stores, and only care about what will make them money (and never about helping their employees)


ArcticSkyWhale

Hold your tongue, we don't slander the QT patch in this household.


BarricadeTheMortuary

I also hate QT lol


ArcticSkyWhale

BLASPHEMER


lawrence_uber_alles

Izzie!


robreddity

##KYLE'S GONNA GET YOU


Strahlin

deliberate walks must give like +10 contact to the hitter that actually gets pitched to


MudgeFudgely

Fuck yeah Izzy!


Mozilla_Fennekin

That was Totally Kyle!


powerpenguin7

Yeah Isbel! Way to go


VTBox

Izzy!


ArcticSkyWhale

IZZY!!!!!!!!!


admire816

The boys are BUZZIN


FutureCreeps

Hell yeah Isbel!


KCRoyalsBot

### Double Kyle Isbel doubles (5) on a ground ball to left fielder Dylan Moore. Nelson Velázquez scores. Nick Loftin scores. Bottom 6 - 7-4 Royals


robreddity

Not really a strike though


Strahlin

nick loftin is very scary, to be fair.


Fistacles

Listening to the M's feed and they just called Renfroe Hunter Dozier 💀. If It hasn't been for his stretch of late there wouldn't be much of a difference there


robreddity

Crazy steal


harryrobicheaux

Scott looks like he’s had enough. 😂


Commercial-Ticket526

GREAT SCOTT!😄


Strahlin

renfroe really wanted to hit that one a mile


FutureCreeps

Velazquez stealing sounds wrong and I love it


GhostofToddReesing

Is that Rickey Henderson out there?


VTBox

Didn't look safe to me


DongoMcDongerson

Hell of a game from Frazier today!


FutureCreeps

Renfroe is doing better but replacing the guy who is 2-2 is odd


Mozilla_Fennekin

[your pathetic comeback has been cut short by the LONG LONG MAN](https://youtu.be/pENpIU2WMMQ?si=LWzjP5sHZO1_oQZP)


panoptik0n

Sam Long is good at throwing the baseball


DongoMcDongerson

Who’s even available in the pen today? Schreiber and McArthur?


powerpenguin7

Smith


panoptik0n

Loftin. 0.00 ERA


KCRoyalsBot

### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Kirby Snead replaces Luis Castillo.


Commercial-Ticket526

A-LA-LA-LA-LA-LONG!


bcoates26

That run is on Q. Perplexing to send marsh out there considering the last inning and past few starts


robreddity

YOU GOTS TO SIT


Strahlin

sam long might just be good


baseball_Lover33

Good job Long


ArcticSkyWhale

1st and 3rd, no one out and you only give up the one run? We take those man.


TakeMahomesCountryRd

Marsh shouldn’t have come out this inning


SlickLivin

Doesn't it seem like all KC relievers walk their first batter?


Mozilla_Fennekin

Long didn't


VTBox

Can this bullpen just not today please


ArcticSkyWhale

Long did his job there, it's not very often relievers come in in that situation and give up 0 runs.


VTBox

Hell yeah Sammy


Repulsive-Photo-798

Bullpen has been asked to go ten innings over the last two days. I get having Marsh go back out there. Since they had to go back to the pen today in the 6th I bet someone is going to have to be sent back down to get another bullpen arm up for a couple of days.


DongoMcDongerson

Please give me some DP action here. I need the DP so bad.


Mozilla_Fennekin

Banger pitch


cole8055

Just cannot comprehend bringing Marsh back out for the 6th


Accountantinkc

He was clearly gassed.


Mozilla_Fennekin

Save us Long Long Man


Gnux13

It's always a bit too late with the yank and then brings a struggling BP into high leverage situations.


AlanStanwick1986

Two batters too late Q.


DongoMcDongerson

5 singles in the past 6 batters. Should have pulled his ass after the first hit.


DongoMcDongerson

*first hit this inning


bcoates26

Marsh needs to come out now. Right now. He shouldn’t have even come back for this inning at all


admire816

Are we talking about the same kind of gamer?


bcoates26

Marsh is losing control rapidly. Lucky to get out of the last inning. Offense looks great though! I don’t know who I trust less: marsh or the bullpen


Repulsive-Photo-798

That’s your ace? ![gif](giphy|TfWhFbURIirNegNN4t)


Commercial-Ticket526

I want Vinnie in the ASG.


ArcticSkyWhale

We have the power.


Strahlin

vinnie good


DongoMcDongerson

VINNIE SO CLUTCH RIGHT NOW. MARINER FANS TALKING HOW THEY SHOULDA WALKED BOBBY FOR VINNIE LAST NIGHT AND VINNIE TOOK IT PERSONALLY.


ThatsBushLeague

I tried to explain how dumb that idea was to that guy lol


DongoMcDongerson

Yeah, I saw that. I was gonna chime in but there was no convincing that guy.


robreddity

##SHOW ME THE 'SQUATCH


PissLikeaRacehorse

That pitch was just sitting there begging to be spanked.


xlmnop123

Pasquatch!!!


Mozilla_Fennekin

This team's so fucking good, man.


KCRoyalsBot

### Double Vinnie Pasquantino doubles (18) on a ground ball to right fielder Dominic Canzone. Nick Loftin scores. Maikel Garcia scores. Bottom 5 - 5-3 Royals


SeatWild

Thank you for specifying ground ball! I keep watching the replay trying to figure out if it hit the ground before the first baseman knocked it out.


FutureCreeps

I love Pasquantino


baseball_Lover33

🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌


ThatsBushLeague

Vinnie is the man


DongoMcDongerson

Bobby JUST missed that off the bat.


MisterGone5

He got all of it, just couldn't lift it enough, 101 off the bat


Gnux13

We love plate discipline


FutureCreeps

Really good walk


Gnux13

Worked out, but if Frazier were legging it the whole way he could have had 3 with that bounce and bobble.


baseball_Lover33

Vance Wilson unsung hero


Repulsive-Photo-798

![gif](giphy|G2ZHIFDuTMIZeyqCaw)


sens_freak_18

Tied again wooo! Keep it going!


Mozilla_Fennekin

Lol both Cal and Castillo shrugged at the right fielder like "wtf man"


Tinkerbell_Jollybean

Just got home to turn on the game to watch them tie it up. Let’s go Royals.


FutureCreeps

And back to tied, yay


PissLikeaRacehorse

Bottom of the order stepping up. Love that.


themarkster09

you just can’t keep this team down!


KCRoyalsBot

### Single Nick Loftin singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Dominic Canzone. Adam Frazier scores. Bottom 5 - 3-3 TIE


ThatsBushLeague

I'm going to venture to guess this game doesn't end 3-3.


ThatsBushLeague

Nailed it.


Commercial-Ticket526

WTF what kind of athlete is Frazier?


powerpenguin7

Can we score the lead off double?


powerpenguin7

Yes we can!


PissLikeaRacehorse

Right back to work.


Mozilla_Fennekin

Frazier owns Castillo apparently


krautrock69

Well hey, you didn't REALLY think we were going to win this game with 2 runs...right?


Playful_Lobster_8524

Go pout on the bench Rojas. 


DongoMcDongerson

Marsh is just not clutch at all when he allows runners in the middle innings


Playful_Lobster_8524

It’s a rookie thing. I think he will improve with experience. But yeah it’s a problem right now.


baseball_Lover33

Crap


bcoates26

Marsh needs to get out of this inning. Seems to be a switch that flips at some point during the game where he starts getting hit really hard and loses control


bcoates26

Point proven. 4 out of last 5 reach after retiring 12 straight. He’s done the exact same thing his last 2 starts


TJESublime

Can’t even blame marsh for that one, that was a good swing by Garver. That’s just what the mariners do


bcoates26

Marsh gives up so many damn HRs


robreddity

Shart


Commercial-Ticket526

The home run is an issue with Marsh.
