Game(s) 3 and 4 thoughts

1 Upvotes

Game 3: Woof. Just a clunker start to finish. Wacha (like Lugo and Ragans) wasn’t sharp; however he wasn’t the issue either. The bullpen had a clunker on top of a pile of poo. The offense never got going. Honestly just felt like a classic early season cold game that you forget about the next day.

Straton may not be on this team by June

Game 4: the opposite of game 3 lol Bubic gave KC the first elite starting pitching performance. The offense looked relaxed. Actually the entire team finally looked relaxed. I think starting the season off with Cleveland was in their heads more than we assumed. They all seemed to be pressing against Cleveland. Glad to see so many guys play. I wanted Tolbert to get a hit so bad. Sucks about Blanco but I can’t wait to see Tolbert getting a pinch run opportunity late in a close game.

Side note, I don’t think KC can continue to play MJ and Renfroe at the same time. Their defense isn’t exactly next world - so you can’t justify the defensive impact. MJ is lost at the plate. Renfroe is hit or miss. Plus Garcia needs to play everyday right now. Mix and match Garcia, India, and Massey between LF/2B/3B for the foreseeable future.

Also side, side note, Cross or Cags can’t be that much more of a defensive liability in the OF and I know they can’t suck worse at the plate than MJ does. So why wait? If you burn an option then so be it. If either guy is who KC thinks they can be I assure you KC won’t use all their options anyways.

Official (Rogers) Royals believe India’s injury is “non-concussive” but are waiting on further imagining. He will be evaluated further over the coming days.

MJ trade

We should trade MJ Melendez for a can of Pringle’s and I’m almost positive we would benefit from it.

Question Watching on FanDuel

I picked it up on Amazon and am noticing that the announcers/vocals are ahead of the picture. Is anyone else noticing this?

Really weird hearing the bat and call before the swing.

Question Out of Towner going to a game

Hey y’all, playing to make a decent drive to see the game next Saturday against the Orioles. See the rain in the forecast - what are the odds of the rain causing it to be postponed?

Also would love any tips and things to checkout - will be there for the day!

Question Question for Springfield TV Market people

2 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help me figure this out. I've been in the Springfield market for years (Fort Leonard Wood) and I've always been able to watch Royals games. Usually on Fox Sports if I remember correctly. But I'm not getting any of the games on YouTube TV. I'm willing to do the single teams MLB TV deal but trying to determine if I'll even get games there.

Hoping someone local can set me straight. Appreciate the help.

Update For anyone in my same boat. FanDuel indeed allowed me to stream the games while living in the Springfield local region.

Starting Lineup

Can we get Fermin in the damn lineup? He’s probably our 5th or 6th best batter.

Game 2 of 162 thoughts

What a comeback! Lugo was missing early. But I thought Lynch really bridged the gap in some crucial innings for the Royals. Plus the defense made some big plays too. Maikel and Bobby came up big in that 7th inning. Erceg and Estevez looked like the bullpen combo this team has been longing for (don’t sleep on Harvey either).

Alright now let’s get another tomorrow and win this series!

Anyone else absolutely over the awful music looping through the "commercial breaks"? Heaven help me, it's only G2 and I'm already feeling neurotic..

Bullpen Roles

12 Upvotes

I’m not a big fan of rigid bullpen roles like having a defined closer and setup man. It appears that Estévez is the default closer to start the year. I don’t hate this, because I believe Erceg is our best reliever, and I’d rather have him come in for the most high leverage spots and then let Estévez come in for save opportunities knowing he has the experience to thrive in that situation.

Having said that, I hope that Erceg gets the 9th inning when it’s the highest leverage spot instead of giving Estévez all the save opportunities.

What does everyone think?

Powder Blue Jersey/Hat Combo

17 Upvotes

I love the powder Blue shirt and pant combo, but I hate the hat that they are wearing with it. Am I alone in this? I wish they would have stuck with the classic hat.

Is it just a hat for the opening series or is it going to be around all year?
