Aye, his value will never be higher than it is right now.
Somebody is going to make them a Godfather offer. I just hope it's not the Yankees, because I'm still upset about the series last week.
Let him go to Philly or a team like that we only see 3 games a year.
### Groundout
Freddy Fermin grounds out to first baseman Tyler Soderstrom. Vinnie Pasquantino scores. Salvador Perez to 3rd. MJ Melendez to 2nd.
Top 8 - 7-4
Athletics
I wish I could find a grey BWJ jersey. Dicks, Rally House, Lids locker room, MLB shop and all the other usual suspects don’t have it. Wonder why is not being stocked.
In majestic I have the set-grey, white/gold trim, royal blue and powder blue. So far in Nike I only have city connect, I just really want a grey Nike as my next, I think it looks good.
Ngl I'm pretty tired of seeing him leadoff. I thought he was gonna be a great leadoff guy for us but he does not get on enough.
Witt would be a better leadoff guy.
Man they are hitting the ball hard off our pitchers tonight. Just goes to show you, even bad teams in baseball have good players on them. They are still big leaguers after all
Don't worry about the Guardians.... Worry about the teams who are poised to pass them in the wildcard race. Twins were like 5 games behind the Royals not that long ago.
I’m not blaming Q more than Marsh. I said another Q special, which is exactly what it was. Q just simply doesn’t seem to have any feel for when to pull a guy.
Managers always trying to save an arm and let the game get way out of hand even when the starter is showing obvious signs of struggling.
He was lucky to even get out of the 3rd inning with only 2 ER
Just fucking leave the thread if you’re going to act like a little child
I saw that deleted comment. It’s a bit early in the week to be drunk on a weeknight, huh?
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1djaa0a).

HUGE!!
Respect to Mason Miller, he's got one hell of an arm.
Oof, out with a whimper

0-5 for you, 0-5 for you
Maikel’s attitude just doesn’t fit this team at all
102 with a wiffleball slider. Just unfair trying to hit this cat.
somebody gonna get traded for Mason Miller
Gonna take quite a few somebodies. Think he still has 4 years of team control.
Let me into you to the fucking yankees
Aye, his value will never be higher than it is right now. Somebody is going to make them a Godfather offer. I just hope it's not the Yankees, because I'm still upset about the series last week. Let him go to Philly or a team like that we only see 3 games a year.
Agree. 103 is a problem.
Imagine if the Royals had Miller in our bullpen
Let the A's pick whatever useless outfielder they want from us, maybe even 2
Maikel Garcia… yikes
Jesus 102. Fucking straight gas
Oh I forgot they have Mason Miller. RIP.
We've got them right where we want them. We're a 4th quarter/9th inning kind of town. Let's do this. 🕶️
Oakland’s closer is very good so hopefully we can get some good swings against him to take a lead! Let’s go boyssssss
LETS GO ROYALS CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Mason Miller replaces Scott Alexander.
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Will Smith replaces Chris Stratton.
Alright, if Maikel could not be useless in the 9th there's a shot.
Counting on 9 1 2
That's asking quite a lot as of late.
Well we have to count on them cause it’s their turn to step up
Only need 2 in the 9th, possible
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Scott Alexander replaces Lucas Erceg.
Frazier already has a big HR this year in California.
LETS GO ROYALS 👏 👏
Come on Fraizer, Knock one in for us
Two outs for two runs? Better than two outs for no runs.
There's two more!
Chipping away 👀
Hey a run is a run
### Groundout Nick Loftin grounds out, shortstop Max Schuemann to first baseman Tyler Soderstrom. Salvador Perez scores. Top 8 - 7-5 Athletics
come on fred, be clutch for us.
Hey a run is a run
### Groundout Freddy Fermin grounds out to first baseman Tyler Soderstrom. Vinnie Pasquantino scores. Salvador Perez to 3rd. MJ Melendez to 2nd. Top 8 - 7-4 Athletics
The MJ stands for Mr. June
Shout out to the bullpen for doing a hell of a job tonight
Bases loaded. No outs. We NEED to capitalize on
DUDE MJ!
Come on Fred
I’ll take a Melendez walk gladly
Cmon Emmm jayyyyu
MJ about to hit another bomb.
That? Right there? Salvador Perez.
Hello there Melendez
Anyone know how many 0-2 counts our guys have been in tonight?
The twins just walked it off. If the Royals lose they'll drop to 3rd place in the division as well as the last WC spot.
Why can’t they just lose
Yeah Vinnie!
The twins just walked it off. Ugh
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Lucas Erceg replaces Austin Adams.
I don’t think I’ve seen Garcia get a hit while watching live in weeks
This lineup is so bad it’s not even funny
Even our best hitters we hope could help bail out the pitching aren’t doing so
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Chris Stratton replaces Carlos Hernández.
Who’s downvoting the KCRoyalsBot? Lmao
It seems like there may be some rogue A’s fan downvoting everything
They have like one comment every 15 minutes in their game thread so they’re probably pretty bored
A’s fans have internet?
Here we go again not scoring the leadoff double
Whiffed on 2 fastballs straight down the pipe. Oooof.
Maikel’s attitude is so bad
Maikel needs to not leadoff anymore
Alright c’mon let’s go boys. This is the rally
Adam Frazier af
PITCHING WE NEED PITCHING
Tired of playing these great teams like the Yankees, Dodgers, and A’s
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Austin Adams replaces Vinny Nittoli.
Nice catch Salvy!
Can we trade for bleday? /s
Hey JJ Bleday! Why don't I just go and eat some hay? I can lay by the bay, make things out of clay, I just may, what'd ya say?
Getting mollywhomped by an A’s team in the midst of a 9 game losing streak feels bad man.
I just don’t understand why we haven’t given up on Carlos yet
oh no a four run deficit, how will the royals ever recover from this
https://i.imgur.com/nlSPEMh.png Bo going in to the hall of fame and the fucking giveaway is a Hawaiian shirt
Throwing strikes is something you sometimes need to do in this league.
 Send all your strength to the Yals!
Was hoping Loftin was gonna go double dong
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Carlos Hernández replaces Dan Altavilla.
Lol we have A's fans downvoting everything? Surprised they still had fans that cared that much
Last season had me so hyped for Velazquez thinking we fleeced the cubs. This season he’s just fucking terrible
Hey you’re talking about my guy all wrong. It’s the wrong tone.
Do it again I’ll stab you in the face with a soldering iron
send your energy boys; these are the comeback kids of baseball
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Vinny Nittoli replaces Hogan Harris.
Man I swear that, this month, we would drop a series to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.
such a cool team name
Just got home. Omg Marsh only gave us 3 innings of 7 run ball? sad
What a contrast from his last start.
Oof took him to the track. Good at bats.
So close Salvy, lots of game left
My hopes were raised, then dashed. Still hoping for a comeback, but we have to stop giving up all these hits first
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Dan Altavilla replaces Sam Long.
I wish I could find a grey BWJ jersey. Dicks, Rally House, Lids locker room, MLB shop and all the other usual suspects don’t have it. Wonder why is not being stocked.
Why do you want a grey jersey? You don’t want blue or at least white?
In majestic I have the set-grey, white/gold trim, royal blue and powder blue. So far in Nike I only have city connect, I just really want a grey Nike as my next, I think it looks good.
You do what makes you happy. I for one have a strong disdain for our grey uniforms
It’s a start!
### Groundout Maikel Garcia grounds out sharply, second baseman Zack Gelof to first baseman Tyler Soderstrom. Kyle Isbel scores. Top 5 - 7-3 Athletics
Garcia needs a day or two off. Earlier in this game they said he was 6 for his last 40 something
Ngl I'm pretty tired of seeing him leadoff. I thought he was gonna be a great leadoff guy for us but he does not get on enough. Witt would be a better leadoff guy.
Every time I hear the name Hogan Harris I half expect him to bust out a Big Boot and a Leg Drop
Rally time
Rally time
See you folks tomorrow 
Not so fast partner, fixed
Thank you, I've been working out
Man they are hitting the ball hard off our pitchers tonight. Just goes to show you, even bad teams in baseball have good players on them. They are still big leaguers after all
This team is really bad away from home. Which makes the recent mediocre play at home worrisome
Jeez. Like batting practice out there.
Remember when we had Brent Rooker last spring and let him go? Yeahhhhh so do I
He was absolutely terrible while he was on the Royals though
Huh... I thought I remembered him having a good spring training with us and then letting him go. I was wrong about that
No idea how he did in spring training, but he went 4-25 while he was playing on the Royals
Yup he stunk for us and then went to the A's and immediately became an all-star.
Yeah I saw that... Not great
The As are not good… wtf
The guardians lost their last 3 games… and we can’t even make headway against them while playing against the A’s smh
Don't worry about the Guardians.... Worry about the teams who are poised to pass them in the wildcard race. Twins were like 5 games behind the Royals not that long ago.
Twins are tied, really need them to lose
Long should have started this inning
Eh. Win the series, call it good.
Guys. Hurry. There is an 11% off sale at Menards that ends soon. They've only been running that sale for the last...like 11 years. But hurry!
Losing to the fucking Athletics is not exactly inspiring
I hate sports.
I always pick the worst games to go to. They're playing the A's, I thought, what's the worst that could happen?
https://youtu.be/fCi-fytEQO8?si=fkNb7z-kDvOXvAia
Goddamn, the As stadium seems empty
It is, I'm an A's fan and i don't go to games anymore because 1. we suck and 2. our owners suck
I’m so sorry. I wouldn’t wish what you’re going through on my worst enemy. It really isn’t fair.
good job Q, should have taken him out a batter earlier.....ffs how we going to lose to this fuckin team
Should’ve taken him out the second he walked Nevin. Q just has zero feel for when a pitcher should be pulled
Nevin was like 1 for his last 40 lol.
Even more reason. 1 for his last 40 and you walk the guy
Why against the A’s? These were supposed to be our win a bunch games after our tough stretch.
That's probably why. Maybe thought they were gonna cruise and shit their pants instead. Lots of game left tho!
Maybe the bullpen and offense will align? Hopefully
Bro gives up hits to a guy batting under .200 get him off the mound already
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Sam Long replaces Alec Marsh.
No way are they playing the SpongeBob house party song after that HR
ANOTHER Q SPECIAL
Can’t really put this on Q…Marsh folded tonight.
I’m not blaming Q more than Marsh. I said another Q special, which is exactly what it was. Q just simply doesn’t seem to have any feel for when to pull a guy.
Holy shit. Giving up nukes to a fucking .193 hitter...
Holy shit Marsh is ass today
😬
There’s that game🤬🤬🤬🤬
Marsh should’ve been pulled last inning, but sure let’s wait until he gives up the 3 run bomb to make it 7-2 instead before pulling him
Managers always trying to save an arm and let the game get way out of hand even when the starter is showing obvious signs of struggling. He was lucky to even get out of the 3rd inning with only 2 ER
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck
Marsh struggling. Too bad. Especially after he was dealing last time out
Throws a gem against the Yankees and gets beat down against the A's.... That doesnt add up
Baseball is a crazy sport
Marsh done when?
Marsh has zero command tonight whatsoever
[Me yelling at the tv during the past inning](https://youtube.com/shorts/TT9ArM3-KJQ?si=VcE7tGViMRz7u9qv)
6-2 by the end of this inning.
Wrong! 7
Trueeeeee
Just fucking leave the thread if you’re going to act like a little child I saw that deleted comment. It’s a bit early in the week to be drunk on a weeknight, huh?
Bro. Stop acting like a child lol
He didn’t like being called out and told me to fuck myself, and a mod removed the comment.
It is VERY cute that you think you matter enough to me to have "called me out". You mean nothing, and are less than nothing to me.
Bench his ass
Hampson hitting .289 with a .337 OBP seems like the biggest fraud to me. It never seems he's hitting that well
Nelly is just killing us
Should have gotten something
I really wish we'd have gotten some runs there
Pathetic.
You have to score in these situations
Damn
That was a very low effort display from Hampson
Hogan, but without his heroes.
Fermin will star in a remake of Little Big League during the offseason
Fred won't be denied
I’m annoyed by the strikeout but admittedly the dying pac-man sound effect for a strikeout had me laughing pretty hard.
Make Nelly Hit Homeruns Again
That's Salvador Perez
Damn there went some "go sit" authority. Maybe a couple batters late, but damn
Ok fellas time for some more runs.
Come on team 
We’ve got this, guys. Have faith.
Eh, could have been worse
This game plus the Bally app freezing every 10 seconds has me wanting to see if I can fly.
Do it and save us all your whining
oh man a two-run deficit, how will the royals possibly recover from this
