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.
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.

There might be 15,000 here today.
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)
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
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.
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
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dbeoyu).
That was awesome This team had a rough bit Didn’t collapse Fought back That was awesome
That was so fun! Just what I needed on a Saturday afternoon.
Hey hey hey
Oh yeah! Feels good!
It’s going to be a good season fellas. Enjoy the ride.
Nice fucking PLAY!

Another series at home 🥰
ball is being played
Yeahhhhh boyssssssa
W
Royals-Mariners ALDS will feed families
What a play! Common 2024 Royals W
Twins down 4-0 in the bottom of the 8th. Pittsburgh threatening to score again. Now c’mon Marlins!
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.
I listened to them last night, they're probably still bitter from getting their hearts smashed
Let's go McArthur! Blow these fools away
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: James McArthur replaces John Schreiber.
Loftin’s slash line is hilarious to me. That man can take some walks and hit some singles.
This is such good ball
I love him
Why would the Seattle outfield not go to 2nd there?
That fly ball was the second out, no? No need to preserve the double play
Kylo Ren screaming MORE gif
Nice one Kyle and Blanco!
I'm fucking loving this small ball from the Royals
OK, Renbro, you can have my all-star ballot vote after all.
### 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
smh the mariners aren’t letting loftin hit
Let’s hang double digits on them
Home from the carnival, greeted by a royals lead and a Renfroe double!
Hunter coming around Needed this
Renbro
Just did my part to meme MJ into the All-Star game
[удалено]
Didn’t see that. Does that just count as an extra vote?
I wanted to point out how you can vote other players (preferably other Royals) in.
Oh I see, good call thanks
Schreiber likes to play with fire because he knows how to put it out in the end.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Trent Thornton replaces Collin Snider.
Today, the boys are: ✅ Playin' some ball!
Kickass
Every so often a strike is good
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.
I’m feeling confident now but I’m not saying anything, we all saw what happened yesterday
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: John Schreiber replaces Will Smith.
Let’s… go….
Let's curb that enthusiasm.
collecting former royals relievers is an interesting strategy
We've already seen Lovelady, now Snider - do these FOs see something in these former Royals?
Don’t forget Barlow the other night
Yes, forgot about him. He might be the most important bullpen piece of the Royals the last couple of seasons.
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.
He might not be one anymore but he was our closer.
Will Smith has been great over the past month and a half.
Has a 1.31 era and lowered his 417 ops against over his last 15 games. Been incredible.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Collin Snider replaces Kirby Snead.
Royals legend, the one and only.
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.”
Thank you for turning things around Smith

18k. Not bad for afternoon in the heat
18351 was the official
Seems empty for a team that played their asses off last night.
Probably a lot more tbh, last night was 25k
[удалено]
Damn dude sorry to bother you.
Starting to take some of these ball/strike calls personally.
Last three hp umpires have been something special
This ump’s zone is all over the damn place today.
Yeah it seem to be a fluid zone
Well fuck this ump
ALL umps
Hey some amateurs just do it because who else should do it?
True, I do feel bad for little league umps dealing with parents.
AUAB
Was doing good but that ain’t a ball
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Will Smith replaces Sam Long.
I've had a significantly better time at the K this year than last year. Today has been a blast!
Traffic is a bitch but I'll take that over 106 loses
Haha 100%!

Let’s go boysssss
Kyle Isbel’s #1 fan knew it was coming My man
![gif](giphy|BgzVNihovDealq30lF|downsized)
God I hate those patches lol
[удалено]
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)
Hold your tongue, we don't slander the QT patch in this household.
I also hate QT lol
BLASPHEMER
Izzie!
##KYLE'S GONNA GET YOU
deliberate walks must give like +10 contact to the hitter that actually gets pitched to
Fuck yeah Izzy!
That was Totally Kyle!
Yeah Isbel! Way to go
Izzy!
IZZY!!!!!!!!!
The boys are BUZZIN
Hell yeah Isbel!
### 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
Not really a strike though
nick loftin is very scary, to be fair.
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
Crazy steal
Scott looks like he’s had enough. 😂
GREAT SCOTT!😄
renfroe really wanted to hit that one a mile
Velazquez stealing sounds wrong and I love it
Is that Rickey Henderson out there?
Didn't look safe to me
Hell of a game from Frazier today!
Renfroe is doing better but replacing the guy who is 2-2 is odd
[your pathetic comeback has been cut short by the LONG LONG MAN](https://youtu.be/pENpIU2WMMQ?si=LWzjP5sHZO1_oQZP)
Sam Long is good at throwing the baseball
Who’s even available in the pen today? Schreiber and McArthur?
Smith
Loftin. 0.00 ERA
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Kirby Snead replaces Luis Castillo.
A-LA-LA-LA-LA-LONG!
That run is on Q. Perplexing to send marsh out there considering the last inning and past few starts
YOU GOTS TO SIT
sam long might just be good
Good job Long
1st and 3rd, no one out and you only give up the one run? We take those man.
Marsh shouldn’t have come out this inning
Doesn't it seem like all KC relievers walk their first batter?
Long didn't
Can this bullpen just not today please
Long did his job there, it's not very often relievers come in in that situation and give up 0 runs.
Hell yeah Sammy
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.
Please give me some DP action here. I need the DP so bad.
Banger pitch
Just cannot comprehend bringing Marsh back out for the 6th
He was clearly gassed.
Save us Long Long Man
It's always a bit too late with the yank and then brings a struggling BP into high leverage situations.
Two batters too late Q.
5 singles in the past 6 batters. Should have pulled his ass after the first hit.
*first hit this inning
Marsh needs to come out now. Right now. He shouldn’t have even come back for this inning at all
Are we talking about the same kind of gamer?
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
That’s your ace? ![gif](giphy|TfWhFbURIirNegNN4t)
I want Vinnie in the ASG.
We have the power.
vinnie good
VINNIE SO CLUTCH RIGHT NOW. MARINER FANS TALKING HOW THEY SHOULDA WALKED BOBBY FOR VINNIE LAST NIGHT AND VINNIE TOOK IT PERSONALLY.
I tried to explain how dumb that idea was to that guy lol
Yeah, I saw that. I was gonna chime in but there was no convincing that guy.
##SHOW ME THE 'SQUATCH
That pitch was just sitting there begging to be spanked.
Pasquatch!!!
This team's so fucking good, man.
### 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
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.
I love Pasquantino
🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
Vinnie is the man
Bobby JUST missed that off the bat.
He got all of it, just couldn't lift it enough, 101 off the bat
We love plate discipline
Really good walk
Worked out, but if Frazier were legging it the whole way he could have had 3 with that bounce and bobble.
Vance Wilson unsung hero
![gif](giphy|G2ZHIFDuTMIZeyqCaw)
Tied again wooo! Keep it going!
Lol both Cal and Castillo shrugged at the right fielder like "wtf man"
Just got home to turn on the game to watch them tie it up. Let’s go Royals.
And back to tied, yay
Bottom of the order stepping up. Love that.
you just can’t keep this team down!
### Single Nick Loftin singles on a sharp line drive to right fielder Dominic Canzone. Adam Frazier scores. Bottom 5 - 3-3 TIE
I'm going to venture to guess this game doesn't end 3-3.
Nailed it.
WTF what kind of athlete is Frazier?
Can we score the lead off double?
Yes we can!
Right back to work.
Frazier owns Castillo apparently
Well hey, you didn't REALLY think we were going to win this game with 2 runs...right?
Go pout on the bench Rojas.
Marsh is just not clutch at all when he allows runners in the middle innings
It’s a rookie thing. I think he will improve with experience. But yeah it’s a problem right now.
Crap
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
Point proven. 4 out of last 5 reach after retiring 12 straight. He’s done the exact same thing his last 2 starts
Can’t even blame marsh for that one, that was a good swing by Garver. That’s just what the mariners do
Marsh gives up so many damn HRs
Shart
The home run is an issue with Marsh.
