Right now, Mike Trout is our bitch

siberian khatru 04-14-2021 01:05 PM

Keller fixed?

TomBarndtsTwin 04-14-2021 01:06 PM

Nice job, Keller. Worked his way out of one hell of a jam there.

Maybe a turning point?

PHOG 04-14-2021 01:06 PM

Got right out of that bases loaded jam.

Benintendi looks terrible at the plate.

Wish we could trade Hud for Gubicza (LA) announcer. But LA would probably want the Royals to include Whit to even consider.

I listened to the Angels broadcast Monday night (Vasgersian and Gubicza) and they were GREAT.

CatinKS 04-14-2021 01:19 PM

Come home Gubby

TomBarndtsTwin 04-14-2021 01:19 PM

That’s now 18 strikeouts in 31 at bats for Soler on the season.

Royals may have dodged a bullet not extending him . . . . . .

CatinKS 04-14-2021 01:27 PM

Not sure why Michael A. Taylor isn't batting second in the order. I would push Benni down the order until he starts hitting better.

TomBarndtsTwin 04-14-2021 01:34 PM

Manufacturing a run . . . . . :clap:

MAHOMO 4 LIFE! 04-14-2021 01:34 PM

Excellent job!!

Great Expectations 04-14-2021 01:35 PM

Hud grows on you, he is also much better when we are winning. You can’t sneak a piece of cheese past a hungry rat.

KCUnited 04-14-2021 01:38 PM

Almost always pick the opposing broadcast on my stream. Good way to learn about the other teams and get their perspective on the Royals. No Hud is an extra bonus.

Benintendi draws walks. For now that's probably going to keep him near the top.

I just saw the Salvy ending the game highlights from yesterday. Love that style of win! Shades of 2014-15 madness.

This has been fun. If I were an Angels fan I’d be having Nam flashbacks to Dyson’s outfield double play in the ALDS.

ChiefsCountry 04-14-2021 03:32 PM

I miss playing in the AL West. Angels, A's and Rangers just seem like our natural rivals unlike the AL Central teams.

Carlos Rodon of the White Sox has a perfect game through 7. If they win and beat Cleveland the Royals will be alone in first place.

Just was about to post this. Just turned on MLB.TV to watch it.

He's now through 8 with the perfect game.

tk13 04-14-2021 08:34 PM

Had to look it up. There hasn't been one in 9 seasons. Felix Hernandez in 2012.

He probably gets asked about it every time he meets someone new

Thought that was going to get through.

Coach 04-14-2021 08:54 PM

Been a long time since a Royal has tossed a no-hitter. Believe Danny Duffy came close to it until he lost it in the 7th or 8th inning.

Jorge Lopez had a perfect game into the 9th a couple years ago. Brady Singer took one pretty deep into the game last year too.

Good point on Singer, forgot about that, even though it was the most recent one.

I don't recall Lopez's (probably because I recall him as a very bad pitcher). I'll have to look that one up.

I just vividly remember Duffy's because he had 16 strikeouts, which is a franchise record in a single game (previously was Greinke at 15), that was straight up dominance.

Why Not? 04-14-2021 09:01 PM

Pretty impressive to lose the perfecto that way but still settle down and get the last 2 for the no hitter. Screw the White Sox but have to feel good for Rodon after all he’s been through injury wise.

KChiefs1 04-14-2021 09:13 PM

All alone in first.

I dont know why people think Taylor is so good. Recency bias I guess. Benintendi is 26 yrs old and career .783 ops. Taylor is 30 and career .690 ops.
