It's interesting that the outfield was playing Benintendi as an opposite field hitter. If they were playing straight up Leury probably catches that foul ball on 2-2.

Another walk after having the hitter 1-2. Come on Dylan...

He's been batting 3rd or 4th in a lineup that's top 5 in runs scored. Of course he's going to have a lot of RBIs.

Bubic looked like he was ready to walk the whole lineup and we got nothing out of it after the HR.

Totally bailed Bubic out.

Come on Jose...that's on 3-1. Jesus Christ.

The problem recently is that he's not getting a lot of pitches to hit that way. Pitchers are just trying to jam him high and inside and he always swings at it.

Royals fans hate him apparently. They blame all of their pitching problems on him.

Bubic has kind of lost it control-wise.

Way to stay back on that change up. He looked like he was trying to pull the 2 he got earlier in the AB.

TA!

Gotta hit it to the right side here Tim.

Balk!

They're afraid to pitch to Seby. He's got 2 walks since the 3 HR game.

Vaughn has a higher OPS than Moncada, Abreu, and Anderson now.

104 off the bat, but 53 on launch angle. A cm lower and that's probably a homer.

Perez just got under it.

That graphic they just showed...most HRs by a catcher. We've been victimized by all 3 of those guys way too much. Especially Haase and Perez.

Nice play Jose.

Zavala's a good framer and blocker, but he really sucks at holding onto the ball.

Wait I thought he tipped that? Edit: Nevermind, that was the sound of the ball hitting his shin guard.

Madrigal has a much better hit tool, Lopez is probably a better runner and defender. Lopez has made himself into a decent little player though. He gets on base quite a bit despite not hitting for much power or average.

Cease missing inside a lot against lefties on his fastball. Just like when he walked Santana.

Maybe being more aggressive doesn't help him.

Here come the bloopers from the bottom of this order.
