I don't like multi-season hit and on-base streaks, but I /really/ feel like if we're going to count them, then we can't ignore the postseason. It's fine to say Ohtani reached base in 51 straight regular season games, that's a cool achievement. But it's not 51 straight games overall!
(It's also possible they overcomplicated things on the broadcast; this explanation was pretty simple.)
Oh, interesting! They mentioned something like this on the broadcast, but it's not a rule I'm really familiar with.
#OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice thought a good antidote to the frustration of the #Royals game would be a walk in the garden. Or maybe he just wanted a walk in the garden. Either way, it was a good call.
Prolly just gonna go ahead and turn this one off. I'm not sure it's less frustrating than the rest of this week, but at least it's less hearbreaking. #Royals
Obviously the error derailed the inning, but I do think Noah might have to make an adjustment. He gave up some devastating home runs last outing too. #Royals
Sanity prevails on the scoring of the play that started the rally. That has to be an error, especially if the drop last night was. #Royals
Especially if the drop last night on BWJ's fly ball was an error. They either both are or neither.
Yeah, and I didn't see any blocking of the bag on that play. Maybe he thought it was a baulk?
This is the second time Q has been ejected against the Yankees, and the first time was because the umpires simply refused to apply the rules to the Yankees. I suspect the broadcast missed something similar today. #Royals
I don't mind, but how the hell has Q got himself run this fast!? #Royals
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Live by the bullshit illegal little league dimensions, die by the bullshit illegal little league dimensions!! #Royals
This is part of the reason losing to the Yankees is so fucking infuriating. They are White Sox levels of fundamentals, yet they bullshit their way to ninety wins every year. #Royals
Hahahahahaha!!! The Yankees suck so hard. They slug their way to wins, helped by little league dimensions, and are shit at every other part of the game. #Royals
Fucking illegal little league stadium. #Royals
The Yankees are much less effective when you can make the umpire call strikes at the edge of the zone against them. #Royals
That 3-2 pitch to Jism is why we need full automation. It's too early to risk a challenge, but it was a Yankee strike zone call. #Royals
My eternal gripe about severe thunderstorm communication: 80 mph wind /gusts/ are not hurricane force. Hurricane-force is 75+ mph /sustained/ winds.
As soon as Riley Greene came up I felt like we were going to lose. It feels like he just always finds a way to beat us with the game on the line. #Royals
Vinnie! There's an insurance run! #Royals
We got through the bottom of the eighth! #Royals
What a catch!! I need the gold glove voters to stop snubbing him. #Royals
And in the nick of time to prevent them from calling the game off! #Royals
SALVY!!!!!!!!! #Royals
Okay, I don't have to set anything on fire. #Royals
If this call stands after the exact same one at the plate was overturned I am going to be furious. #Royals
This game has been infuriating, but if it's the game Cags breaks out that would be a huge upside. #Royals
Footage of the Tigers third baseman going down on that play. #Royals
Neymar would be proud of that dive. #Royals
Oh that is fucking bullshit. #Royals
