They have literally played the 3 worst teams in the MLB, when they start playing legit teams we will see how good they really are. Albeit, a +57 run differential in 9 games is impressive even against those shitbag teams.
Crazy swings in win probability! If a baseball game could be labelled as Bi-Polar this game would be it. A couple of wild games on this road trip. I'll take a .600 road trip to start the season though, 2 series wins and heading home to hopefully feast on the Tigers and gain some ground on the Rays.
Get Richards out of there before he blows this game, we got Bass and Mayza still in the pen, both better options, why are we letting Richards face Trout?
I don't follow the minors very closely, just checked the boxscore and the team name is actually the "Trash Pandas", that's hilarious! Who picked that name? Lol
Let's go streaking Boys! Let's make it 5 and win this series tonight and guarantee a winning road trip to start the season!

Since when is a quality start considered a s***** line? If you would of told me before the game that Bassitt would go 6 innings and give up only 3 runs, I'd take that in a heartbeat.
When there is a clear equipment malfunction with pitch com device, a violations should not be called. Ridiculous! I like the pitch clock but violation exceptions need to be clarified.
Let's keep this GDT streak going! Hopefully Bassitt has a bounce back game tonight and we can keep the sticks hot! Gonna be a tough one tonight. Suprised to see Luplow in the lineup, are we giving up on Belt already? Also no Varsho in the lineup?

Solid game! I feel like Manoah didn't even pitch all that well even though the Royals only managed 1 hit. Tons of hard hit balla tonight both ways. That park was a pitchers dream tonight. At the Dome several of those deep fly outs would of been HRs. Nice to see the Pitching keep up in the game. Our pitching literally only need to be replacement level and we'll win 90+ games. Hopefully Gausman can keep it rolling tomorrow and the we can get some offense to support him for once.
