@jmthrivept There’s no way the Chiefs use both their 1st round picks on Secondary

@royalsminors If he continues to hit like this in Omaha could we maybe see a trade? Maybe an upgrade in the pen if Estevez never returns to form? Or is he just strictly Triple AAA depth with no real value outside of that.

I still think he’s probably something like a .221/.305/.350 hitter in the bigs if he came up today. Also as a lefty, not really a strong platoon fit anywhere on the current big league roster, barring some sort of Caglianone demotion (wouldn’t bet on that).

Another home run from Kameron Misner. That’s three on the season now. Entered today slashing .295/.407/.500 with — big for him — a 20.4% K%. He wouldn’t produce at that level in the bigs but if KC figured out the strikeouts he could be impactful.

@Chabotsports Falter was pitching well when we got him so at the time on paper it was a good trade. I personally liked Sisk too but he had a funky throw motion and Callan Moss was a 22 year old single A pitcher. To get a SP for a team that needed it who had 1.5 WAR at the deadline is a steal.

The new City Connects are here! Royals will debut them tomorrow night and wear them the rest of the weekend. Plus all Friday home games the rest of the season.

@royalsminors Bottom 5 in the league last year in runs per game. Many reasons why (some bigger than others) but I think the biggest reason is just the drop off in the lineup. Still not the biggest fan of Zumwalt just because of the situational hitting but this lineup still has holes in 2026.

@jayhaykid Royals would’ve loved that in their lineup right now

@vikesroyal @Chabotsports If we’re going to be a platoon type team obviously play the matchups but ride the hot bats

So there is a righty on the mound, and we are not putting Caglianone in the game when we could REALLY use a homer???

@JohnyJ_15 Maybe he just hates the cold? He looked like a different hitter down in Houston during the WBC.

Career splits by month for Pasquantino: March/April - .219/.309/.385 May - .284/.333/.448 June - .257/.332/.423 July - .268/.325/.430 August - .266/.320/.547 Sept/Oct - .322/.386/.503 Kind’ve just a slow starter. Don’t think they’ll move him from 3-hole.

@JohnyJ_15 @RoyalsData When the fuck is Vinnie going to be moved down in the lineup.

@samlightner11 @JohnyJ_15 Hot Take, but not Lava Hot. He’s had both success and failure as a Royal but last night showed that the Bullpen might not be as lockdown as we originally thought

@BednarEnjoyer00 @BRWalkoff If you make it to the MLB you’re obviously a talented ball player and I’m a big believer on the mental side of baseball. But everyone knows (including himself) that Ohtani is better than Jazz. Confidence is key in everyone but too much can be damaging and that’s called cockiness.

@samlightner11 @BRWalkoff Shit if Michael Toglia(worst WAR in the league -1.8) said it I would say the same thing. They all have to have the self confidence that they are the shit. How can anyone expect to perform when the don’t even believe in themselves. I can’t bash a player for having confidence

@samlightner11 @BRWalkoff He’s currently competing against these guys….he’s not going to admit that the other guy is better than him. Literally every player would respond like Jazz did when asked this same question

@BednarEnjoyer00 @BRWalkoff So if Adam Frazier did this would you be saying this exact thing? I mean he’s made millions playing the game.

@samlightner11 @BRWalkoff Like think about how crazy it is to expect players to not be confident In a game where the get payed by how they perform. Thats like going into work and your boss asks you if you’re doing a good enough job for a raise. And you tell you boss “nah I think Richard is better than me”

@5EABAG @BRWalkoff Is he better than Altuve? Yes. Is he better than Ohtani? No. Game respecting game is not soft.
