I was at yesterday's game and even from the stands this was extremely noticeable. It's not why we lost (Estévez has to keep that game tied in the ninth), but it is still fucking infuriating. #Royals #FountainsUp umpscorecards.com/data/single-...

That was a 6-8-4 fielder's choice. It's an annoying---and hopefully not too costly---misplay, but a fun one for the scorebook. #Royals #FountainsUp

I really need some team to acquire Dustin May and Jakob Junis, and have the latter relieve the former. #Royals #FountainsUp

The misapplication of analytics in baseball is so fucking frustrating. It's frustrating as a fan watching this shit, and it's frustrating as a professional scientist watching them make basic analytics mistakes and claim it's the advanced way of thinking. #Royals #FountainsUp

That would have been a scoreless inning if we'd been at double play depth after the leadoff single. Analytics are no fucking good if you don't know their limitations! #Royals #FountainsUp

Oh joy, and that little delay let the rains come and the light deteriorate. Not that anyone was enjoying that passage of play or anything. #EngvInd

Does it really matter if the ball hit the bat, when it clearly hit the ground /afterward/ anyway? #EngvInd

Okay, I am kind of excited about getting Yaz as a rental. Yes, he's league-average, but that's still an upgrade, and coming from San Francisco his power numbers won't be hurt coming to the K. #Royals #FountainsUp

I will be honest, I am not seeing the logic behind the Fermin trade. Yes, the rotation is thin because of injuries, but that's a reason to get a rental for a much lower price. As is, we've lost a decent bat and fantastic defender for back-of-the-rotation pieces this year. #Royals #FountainsUp

They should kick every fan doing that racist gesture out of the stadium. I know they'd whine about Chiefs fans doing it, but that should be the policy there too. It's a racist gesture, the code of conduct prohibits such, so give them a warning and throw them out afterward. #Royals #FountainsUp

But hey, let's put Pete Rose and Joe Jackson in the Hall of Fame.

The one thing that should make you love the Lugo signing is that owners for years and trained you to think that you have to lose to win and the Royals have been trying everything to win lately and have been spending to do it

Seth Lugo: Extended. Two years, $46 million, with a vesting option for 2028. Full terms found here: www.mlb.com/news/seth-lu...

I don't understand these weird low-resolution Verizon ads. I assume they're trying to tap into nostalgia and needing a camera for home movies, but surely that's the opposite message you want to send if you're advertising a modern smartphone!

Denny suddenly looking up when he realised he was on TV for some reason was priceless. #Royals #FountainsUp

Turning on the #Royals game, I just noticed that our 6,7,8 hitters are wearing 15,16,17. I enjoy that. When Jac is healthy we need to hit him at five and Salvy four. #FountainsUp

Still European champions!!

YEEEESSSSSS!!!!

This is fucking bullshit.

This fucking referee.

This makes sense, but it's fascinating, and I don't think I would have got it right! #Royals #FountainsUp

I do appreciate Austin Hedges---whom I have long called 'Hedgehog'---having 'hog' on his chest protector. #Royals #FountainsUp

I love having the traditional solid blue caps with the all-powder blue uniforms. It should be our standard road uniform. #Royals #FountainsUp

Indy gets his payback! #HEYHEYHEYHEY

Jonathan India vs Emmanuel Clase Home Run (5) 💣 Exit velo: 109.0 mph Launch angle: 22 deg Projected distance: 413 ft No doubt about that one 🔒 That's a dinger in all 30 MLB ballparks CLE @ KC 🔻 10th

Even if India wasn't thinking about it---and I am sceptical---that is great revenge for Clase drilling him back in April. #Royals #FountainsUp

#HeyHeyHeyHey! I had plans this afternoon and had to follow along on Gameday. That took me by complete surprise! #Royals #FountainsUp

I don't think he fully understands what is going on, but #OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice walked over from his normal spot to watch the Test match. #EngvInd

I was looking through the #Royals transactions page, I had a massive double take when it said we had acquired Julio Rodriguez from the Mariners. Luckily I looked carefully before I got too excited. #FountainsUp

Turned on the Blue Jays/Yankees game just in time to see Aaron Boone ignore several very generous warnings about the part of the rule book that says you can't argue balls and strikes, then have a meltdown when he was tossed anyway. He really encapsulates the entitled attitude of New York.

#HeyHeyHeyHey! I don't want to read too much into one series, but the Cubs are a good team and we comfortably outplayed them two out of three. We still need consistency at the back of the bullpen, but we're looking a lot better. #Royals #FountainsUp

Tyler Tolbert vs Drew Pomeranz Home Run (1) 💣 Exit velo: 94.2 mph Launch angle: 31 deg Projected distance: 391 ft No doubt about that one 🔒 That's a dinger in all 30 MLB ballparks KC @ CHC 🔺 6th

Tyler Tolbert!!!! Throw that back so he can have the ball!! #Royals #FountainsUp

If we're going to care about the cycle, then I think that second home run should count as a triple, for the purpose of counting. It's a triple+. #Royals #FountainsUp

Give some credit to Maikel for that home run, he had Rea /very/ distracted! #Royals #FountainsUp

I like how this game has started. #Royals #FountainsUp

These Cubs fans are really into Principal Component Analysis! I love hearing that kind of appreciation for advanced analytical methods. #Royals #FountainsUp

This game sucks, but at least so far it's a fairly straightforward 'can't win 'em all' sort of game. I assume we'll make it heartbreaking in the last four innings. #Royals #FountainsUp

Oh god fucking dammit. That is a sickeningly bad luck. Kyle fucking laced that. #Royals #FountainsUp

There is some amount of money that I would accept to watch Golic & Golic, but it's in the tens of thousands. I cannot imagine doing so willingly, and I desperately need FanDuel to accept that. #Royals #FountainsUp

This is the summer I started working as a maths tutor at Maple Woods Community College, but I couldn't possibly guess if I was working that day.

#HeyHeyHeyHey! The early deficit was no problem tonight! That's a fun way to start a series against the (now second-) best team in the National League and to have nationally televised! Now maybe JP Morosi will be a little less excited to dismantle the team... #Royals #FountainsUp

I love BWJ legging it out to avoid the double play in what was then a seven-run game. #Royals #FountainsUp

Getting into 'save some for tomorrow' territory! #Royals #FountainsUp

And there's number 290! Two years ago my wife and I went to the series at Wrigley and we were sat almost exactly there for the second game. I was so hoping for something like that! #Royals #FountainsUp

CUBS.

By all means, throw that ball back. Rave deserves the ball! #Royals #FountainsUp

I also really like that the bats have come through to erase an early deficit twice on this road trip. I mean, I don't like the early deficits, but it's encouraging that those aren't the end of the game now. Hopefully we can hold this lead! #Royals #FountainsUp

I like hits with runners in scoring position. I will also absolutely take two free runs from the defence. #Royals #FountainsUp

It's a hit with RISP and an RBI! Put the ball in play, keep the line moving. And then steal and induce a throwing error! #Royals #FountainsUp
