Game 110 KC Royals @ Detroit Tigers August 1st, 2024 3:40 p.m. MST

Nice read by Colt.

He looks more and more like a future star.

KC made lots of moves and they have Witt Jr. That's how you go from 56 wins to possible playoffs.

We had great pitching first 30-40 games (maybe more) when just one or two extra bats would have probably gotten us 3-5 more wins maybe. Maybe more. We had Gio and mark Canha lol..

They weren't going to spend and it didn't help that Meadows and Tork struggled. Guys that we were counting on. Then the BP imploded and the injuries.

Love his swing at the plate. He looks pissed when he fails to get a hit. We all want our players to care. I’m sure they all want to win. Colt feels like a ball rat ( Gym Rat).
Or whatever you call it. It just really looks like he cares a lot about winning.

Yes you are not wrong. That is why the extra bat would have helped. Maybe give Tork some extra protection.

I think that's what Gio was meant to be. Started well, then got hurt - and sucked ever since.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Way to go McSuckstry.

 

[biggunsbob]

I just can’t stand our #8 and #9 hitters. 2 freaking pitches. Just freaking dfa both of them.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Infield single, 2 pitches later 3 outs.

 

[Mitchrapp]

The McKinstry at bat was bad because it was changeup. Is that the pitch you're waiting on?

 

[biggunsbob]

He only had 2 homers and 8 doubles in 2023. Not much protection there. He did bat .299 Needed someone better in my opinion. He did. Have 21 in 2019 and 13 and 14 the year before 2023. With the ball not juiced I guess his numbers are down.

 

[biggunsbob]

This whole homestand has sucked. Opposing teams just realized they need to throw the tigers slow stuff to tiger hitters. Minnesota, Cleveland, and now Kc..

So frustrating we owned these teams last and this year and now we will have losing records against all of them except Chicago. I just don’t see the progress Harris is talking about. I guess injuries is the excuse. Maybe we can walk this game off if we can stay close.

Did they just jinx Montero ?

McKinstry needs to be gone like yesterday. Reminds of the time when Leyland would run Don Kelly out there nearly every day and he couldn't hit worth a shit either.

 

[biggunsbob]

Not a good pitch on a 1-2 count. Weak contact but still get the ball down.

Its always the same answer too .. "He can play many positions." .175, what the fk. Get him out of there.

 

[biggunsbob]

Montero’ s been ok since first 3 hitters..

 

[Mitchrapp]

That would have been a base hit, dumb luck.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sigh. Right down the middle to the potential mvp.
Back to back homers.

What a shitty home stand.
What a crappy GM we have.

This guy stinks.

 

[Mitchrapp]

I hate rooting for a Royal but Witt Jr. might be my favorite non Tiger player.

 

[Mitchrapp]

This guy is getting hit hard.
