Hits with 2 strikes are SO frustrating.

Against a LH pitcher too. Gonna raise that .175 average against lefties!!

He has some power and plays pretty good defense but doesn't have a strong or accurate arm. A .270 hitter that just strikes out way, way too much. Strikeouts are only really bad with guys in scoring position, otherwise they're just another out. And I would rather have a player K and use 6 or 7 pitches than pop out on the 1st pitch, or hit a ground ball. I'm sure there are stats showing Riley as a superstar, it's why I know my opinion is unpopular.

Unpopular opinion; Riley Greene is over-rated.

I'm more worried about scoring any runs in this game. On paper, yes, it looks like a loss. But Montero has the ability to shut other teams offenses down, at times. And this KC team doesn't scare many people, they mostly win on pitching and defense. It's baseball...expect the unexpected.

Skubal lowered his WHIP from 0.84 to 0.79. Amazing.

Oh Bo.

One swing may decide this game.

Because teams know they're not gonna be able to string together 3 or more hits to score a run. Single, stolen base and another single. And the guy is a base stealer.

To be honest, I root for KC when the Tigers stink. I've liked them ever since their fans gave Miggy a standing ovation when he clinched the Triple Crown in 2012. They showed a lot of class.

Greene did OK. He didn't strike out and he made the pitcher throw a lot of pitches.

Johnny Kane said it in pregame and I repeated it. But Google says it's just a retirement ceremony. Pretty stupid, IMO. But hey, he's a local WS hero for the Royals.

Skim milk or 2%? 🤣🤣

Old fashioned pitching duel.

Yeah, my bad. I don't remember too many ceremonies just for a player deciding to retire. Kinda stupid way to just sell tickets.

Round one winner...Tarik Skubal!

Skubal against Witt. Worth the price of admission.

Jersey retirement. Moustakis...or however he spells it.

1.26 WHIP against 0.84 WHIP.

Is Malloy still with Detroit or has he been sent down? If everyone stays healthy, he'll go to Toledo when Meadows gets back, right?

Wacha is also pretty good. It <should> be a low scoring game. But...baseball. Ya just never know.

Seattle meltdown.

Yup...2 out single and then a HR. That park is packed.. edit; 39,000 fans in Seattle

Jason was talking about that. Build up a lead so when you go thru a losing streak, you have some leeway.

I didn't ever realize tomorrow is Skubal Day. Yeah, we swept SF without him. Impressive.
