Kay was announced

[Spanky99]

Yes, better then many.

[G-Snarls]

I tidied it up

[Sammy225]

Nice to see they are right out on Roark

Thankfully. Phew

Holy f***, injuries suck. When is Springer slated to be back?

[Stangstag]

 

Ah so he’ll be done for the season then. Sounds like the same injury he had last year.

[Deadpool]

Jeebus cock, do these guys count the same as the Covid IL, so we don't have to add people to the 40 man to bring them up? Otherwise it's Bergen, Luciano, Payamps, and Tice as our only pitching options.

[Stangstag]

Bullpen is decimated with these recent injuries to Romano and Merryweather...

 

Who are the late-inning/high leverage guys now? Dolis? Borucki? Bleh

[BlueRocky]

On a brighter note, if Manoah and Simeon shoves in double-A they might get an early debut.

[BlueRocky]

I am here to support my boy Tony Buckets.

[Grant77]

Players injured in the past 6 days:

 

Tyler Chatwood (Right triceps inflammation)

Ryan Borucki (Covid)

Teoscar Hernandez (Covid)

Lourdes Gurriel Jr (Covid)

Julian Merryweather (Left oblique strain)

David Phelps (Contusion)

Jordan Romano (Right ulnar neuritis)

Ross Stripling (Right forearm flexor strain)

[Virgil_Hiltz]

 

Never heard of that issue before.....how long is he out??

[DigitalRock]

Marcus Semien seems like a great guy/

Yeah man. I really liked the signing in the offseason.

 

The general feedback were positive with the Semien signing, but it’s good to see him great in the club house too.

Gotta hand it to Buntoyo. I was expecting Panik to get a ton of playing time here with Biggio in RF, but he's sticking with Palacios, who is at least young and may have some upside (his nice start to the season doesn't hurt).

[Slyfisher]

Are these legit injuries or are they just being really really careful? I've never heard of so many people going down..

[BlueRocky]

LOL Pat

 

Lets interrupt Dan Schulman’s play by play just to say Junis likes to throw strikes. Thanks Pat! That’s very good to know.

 

Awkward silence as Dan gave him the floor to finish his sentence too. God and we’re simulcasting this on radio.

[DigitalRock]

He left quite a few over the plate but missed.

[Deadpool]

What a f***ing Royals hit.

[BlueRocky]

Danny might be very busy tonight!

[Slyfisher]

So nice to hear Dan Shulman over Buck!

[BlueRocky]

Still weird to see Benintendi in a royals uniform

[Krylian]

Terrible
