last night's loss

A rough patch, by the numbers. Lost by 3 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. Making it worse, 3.3 R/G this week. Hard to climb with that kind of production.

Royals News

The Kansas City Royals fell flat against the Boston Red Sox, ending the series with a disappointing 4-1 loss, further solidifying their lackluster season with a record of 66-83. Even as Cameron delivered a solid start, showcasing his potential with a career-high outing, the offense was stifled, reflecting their ongoing struggles to draw walks and produce runs, evidenced by their mid-pack ranking in offensive stats. The Royals are clearly in audition mode, seeking to reinvigorate their pitching staff as they recently claimed Spencer Bivens off waivers, adding to a roster that has already benefited from the likes of Randy Dobnak and Craig Kimbrel. As the season winds down, it's evident the front office must prioritize addressing these issues if they hope to turn the tide next year.

We need to see Payton Tolle on the Fenway mound this October. We NEED to see it. Tolle is forging a real connection with the fans the stands at Fenway. It’s not just the hugs. It’s not just the strikeouts. It’s everything. It’s the way he bounces onto the mound to start each inning. It’s […]
