Royals offense cannot overcome Royals bullpen in 7-5 loss

I really want to just go to bed but what if the Royals finally do something good???

I see, so we are having a battle of who can lose this game the dumbest.

Tbh, I don't like pulling Carter and Cags, either.

Man, who could have imagined that pulling the lefty who's been dealing to bring in the righty who has been struggling to face a righty and then a lefty could have been a bad call?

I've been a Q defender the entire time he's been here but there's no defending that choice.

I do not have a good feeling about this pitching change.

OK. Maybe the baserunning is still bad.

I guess he could be a choice too. I just forgot about him because I hadn't seen him in a week until tonight.

The Royals may need a new interim closer.

The best choice I can currently think of is Daniel Lynch IV

You cannot be Lights Out Lucas if you're walking 3 guys in the ninth.

Erceg just hit 100. I think it's been a bit since he did that.

Still, his second walk of the inning in two plate appearances so far.

If he wanted to shift to second, I'd take him.

Imagine being Gunnar Handerson right now.

Two leadoff walks, two times picked off.

Lucas Erceg's entrance looks much cooler from the drone cam than any other camera angle I've seen.

Just once I'd like them to show us the whole thing on the broadcast, tho.

Matt Strahm struck out the side to earn his seventh hold! It's going to be up to the offense one more time and then Lights Out Lucas gets a shot at redemption.

Isaac Collins struck out swinging at ball five after failing to challenge ball four.

Lugo got out of it, but I suspect it's probably the bullpen's game for the final two.

Hold on to your butts!

Late inning leadoff walk alert

0-for-5

The Royals have loaded the bases for a third time tonight. Now facing a pitcher who has not yet allowed a hit this year.

I see what Monty is talking about, but I think his hand motion was uninterrupted from when it leaves our view.

That's the second time in the last week the Royals have avoided a pick off due to a bad tag by the first baseman.

Seth Lugo is shoving out there.

Woof. That was a rough stealing attempt by Maikel. I mean, yeah, it was a good throw, but the broadcast is wrong that only a perfect throw would get him.

What if Maikel has six hits and they score one run?

Nah, I went back and watched, he's swapping them.

Another way of saying this is that they've made five outs with the bases loaded and four in all other situations.

The Royals have had four at-bats with the bases loaded tonight. 0-for-4 with a double play, a grounder to the pitcher, and a pair of strikeouts.

The swings this inning look like guys trying too hard.

The Royals have another hit with RISP that did not drive home a run.

The bases are loaded with no one out.
