@stokerman22@ryan_landreth If I remember, it took him a long time to even get back on the field, and his velocity was way down for the rest of his career.
Lane Thomas massively bails out Vinnie and Isaac Collins. Guy can't throw strikes to save his life, and they produce a lazy infield fly and a strikeout.
#Royals Manager Matt Quatraro has a message for the fans after the team's 20-30 start:
"For the fans, stick with us. We're going to be better ... We hope to play well in front of our fans so they feel good about who we are."
@KCTV5
Jac Caglianone has to be in the lineup, each and every single night. Fuck your "platoon" split garbage. Fuck your "everyone has to play" little league shit.
Caglianone has the 2nd highest OPS on the team, behind a generational superstar. Whether or not they believe he's good is pointless. He's one of their best hitters at this moment.
๐จWEIRD PLAY ALERT๐จ
This is from tonight's @Twins at @CleGuardians game.
This was ruled an error on pitcher Tanner Bibee for colliding with Austin Hedges, which was the impetus for Hedges dropping the ball.
This is Rule 9.12(a)(1) "The Official Scorer shall charge an error to a fielder who causes another fielder to misplay a ball โ for example, by knocking the ball out of the other fielderโs glove. On such a play, when the Official Scorer charges an error to the interfering fielder, the Official Scorer shall not charge an error to the fielder with whom the other fielder interfered."
The clarificiation is that the intent is to charge the error to the player who turns the ordinary effort play "not ordinary", and that is what Bibee did here.
The Royals are down 3-0 in the 2nd and I'm confident in saying they will lose their 9th straight game and the TV is going off. It's just not fun to watch Q let Zumwalt ruin these batters anymore.
