I didn't watch that inning until the end but I see Kyle allowed a walk, double and 2 lineouts. Hopefully a blip and he can go 2 more -
Seiya out there trying to give me a heart attack
-
Pitcher with a 1.30 WHIP has allowed 3 base runners in 4 innings blah. Some good defense though
-
How many more seasons until the Royals start taking bidders for Witt?
-
Great that we got 2 runs early, but Lyles is so bad his ERA has gone down .09 points so far today.

And they get Penn State at home. I could be way off but I feel like Wisconsin is a year away from being really good. Illinois @ Iowa might be for a spot in Indy. -
Reds have gotten 2 back already and trail 5-2 Giants up 3-2 over the Braves. Brewers starting right now Phillies on SNB Marlins and Diamondbacks idle
-
I see we pitched to Witt again and he made us pay. Hopefully this is like last start and Kyle settles in and pitches well.
-
Marlins lose, Cubs will again end the night in a playoff spot
-
-
Giants do lose, Cubs now just 1/2 game behind them for WC2 Diamondbacks on track to sweep the Padres today and be 1/2 game behind the Cubs Miami is losing 2-1 to LA If scores hold.... WC1 PHI +3.5 WC2 SF +0.5 WC3 CHC -- --------------- CIN -- MIA -0.5 ARI -0.5
-
Reds lose. Cubs temporarily back in WC3. If the Marlins win tonight (they’re up 1-0) the Cubs will be 0.5 behind. giants also have a 5-4 lead on Atlanta. If the Braves come back the Cubs would be 0.5 GB Giants for WC2. I don’t care if anyone reads these updates it just helps me organize all the moving parts 😂
-
Ugh just preseason but tonight is going to amplify annoying Packers fans about Love.
-
They should have played his old walk up music so everyone would know who it is
-
And Bagent pretty good so far. Wonder if they’d actually cut Walker and keep Fields, Peterman and Bagent
-
To be fair they also let us beat them twice
-
Dodgers come back and beat the Marlins 3-1 in game 1, pulling them even with the Cubs again and 0.5 back of the Reds for WC3. Brewers up 2-1 vs Rangers in the 5th, Diamondbacks up 6-3 against the Padres. Reds, Phillies, Giants and Game 2 of the Marlins are later today
-
Not the prettiest but we win
-
Don't let anyone on. Witt Jr is due up 3rd
-
Just drives me nuts that we led the team with the 2nd worst record in the majors 6-1 in the 5th inning and ended up having to use every single one of our high leverage relievers to (hopefully) finish off the game. We are in game 2 of a stretch of 27 games in 27 days. This is absolutely a game we should have been able to avoid pitching all of Merryweather, Fulmer, Leiter and Alzolay. 13 straight Cubs retired by the terrible Royals pen
-
6-4....just like last Saturday Ross pulls Fulmer with 2 outs and 1 on, brings in Leiter who immediately gives up a run. Don't care about matchups or whatever, Fulmer was pitching fine, give him the inning.
-
Better not end with Alzolay throwing 35 pitches in a 4 out save and being unavailable tomorrow.
-
Do we like Merryweather as a 7th inning guy, or would Fulmer be better there at this point? Not saying Merryweather is doing terrible, he's an important part of the pen but sometimes has control issues, has given up 6 HRs this year. I get that Ross wants to use Fulmer for high leverage situations that come up during the game vs. giving him a designated inning and maybe thats the best decision. If you're concerned about Merryweather giving up long balls that certainly he's not the best fit for Fulmer's role, although being able to come in and throw 100 mph has its advantages in those spots.
-
Of course Witt comes through. He's 5-8 with a HR, 3 RBI, 3 runs scored and 2 SB this series. Now the Royals are a single from a 1 run game
-
Julian, could you cooperate and throw strikes? Walking back to back guys when your are up 4 runs in the 7th is sub optimal, especially when you have an elevated HR rate Edit: Also Witt Jr will bat this inning if no GIDP here
