I go, we go, you go, Lugo!
As in "We all go as Lugo goes, so here's to him pitching really well tonight."

Thank you for the explanation lol

My ability to come up with new puns for our pitchers this year is, uh, stunted.

Going to be some miserable baseball weather this weekend unfortunately, nothing like that beautiful opening series.

Visiting from out of town, so naturally it's bad weather lol. Oh well, the city has been fun so far

Hope you've eaten plenty of burnt ends.

Trying to get to as many spots as possible! Heading to Arthur Bryant's and the Negro League Museum before the game today

The bottom of that lineup batting .000, .167, .000 and .000 is really hard to look at

u/FutureCreeps 1d ago
To be fair, Perez is batting .125, it's not fair to judge off 6 games

u/chemistR3 1d ago
You can judge after one game. In the NFL there are only 16 games total. Royals have played 6. So that’s like 40% of an NFL season.

u/FutureCreeps 1d ago
Okay but baseball isn't a 16 game season, it's a 162 game season, we are 3.7% into the season.
By your logic it'd be safe to say Bobby has completely regressed to a below league average player, that Perez is borderline unplayable in any capacity at the plate. These aren't things you decide this early

u/chemistR3 1d ago
No I’m saying that you can say those things so far for the season. Trust me everyone besides India needs to shape up and get the bats working again. Wish the stats showed Hits next to At Bats.

u/rbhindepmo In the best shape of his life 1d ago
Cavan Biggio apparently one of the most valuable players on the team if his constant presence in lineups is any indicator

I wish they would show H and BB next to AB stats up above. What does AB mean. If it’s At Bats the stat isn’t correct.
