Hello darkness my old friend, the Royals are going to sweep us again.

And nothing will change as we’re in baseball hell.  At least after today, we’re two games closer to season being over.

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

It was awesome they let Maldonado bat last inning.

Kopech 2 innings save is ridiculous by Grifol

They’re doing everything in their power to overuse these guys.

Dude just threw him a fastball RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE.....how do you do that?

 

LOLTeam

It’s Kopech, you expect command?

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

You have to fire Pedro

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Haha, way to throw it right down the plate.  This two inning stuff is so dumb, as his velocity is down already.

Maldonado is a train wreck.

Yeah, he has to go. This is so predictable.

Benintendi may be the most 'blah' outfielder I've seen in a while. Nothing looks easy, nothing looks like he's putting actual effort in, nothing looks like he is paying attention at all.

He looks so weak

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Also, why play Vaughn in this game instead of game 2 against a sinker/slider righty in Singer?

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Fletcher’s swing that at bat illustrates so many of the issues this team has. RISP, up 2-0 in the count, and he chases a low slider.

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Our players don’t even know the count 

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Benintendi is a zero tool player

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Somehow Vaughn is getting worse

Martin Maldonado, professional baseball player.

Worst Sox player of all time?

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Omg we scored!!

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

9 of his 28 pitches so far have been middle-middle

The ball boy is like 40 and can barely move. Jesus christ.

Vaughn is not 40

Cancel the post game show because Dominic Fletcher cannot play defense holy s%*#.

He doesn’t look like a legit starting outfielder.

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Throwing a lot of pitches right down the plate 

[Is Chris Getz revamping the org?]

Thorpe isn’t just protypical strikeout guy, so we have no idea how his stuff with fare against major leaguers.  If he’s not pinpoint, you have what Hendricks is this year.

Vaughn completely broken.

Sheets in RF?

Sigh.

It sucks, as now no free agent will want to sign here due to having a bad defensive player on the team!

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Vaughn has lost all sense of the strike zone. He really should get sent down.

[4/17/24 - KC @ CWS, Game 1, 2:10 PM Eastern]

Super windy here today. Have fun Gavin

[Nastrini and Cannon to be Called Up]

Need a decent/good result from Cannon’s start today. Not necessarily a Sox win mind you, just something positive for him to build on. Cannon, Nastrini, and Crochet are kind of the main positives we need going forward. Not to forget Leasure… 

Eh, I think Cannon is a few tiers down from those guys.  I will be pleasantly surprised if he’s a member of a quality rotation in 2026.

[4/17 Games]

My weekly reminder to Montgomery that you have to swing the bat.  Two more strikeouts looking, his K rate is nearly 40%
