@anne__rogers Yep who knows how this 7 run game would have turned out had the royals had men on second and third with two out in the sixth inning

Can't see the send here but Elias Diaz had just rounded third when Jose Caballero got the ball. Inning ends, killing any sort of momentum the #Royals might have had.

Everyone wants to trade down. Every draft. Will be curious if teams trade up and give up a first next year for anyone in this draft
Jordan Schultz@Schultz_Report
There are several teams in the top 10 interested in trading down, but the issue they’ve run into, and believe will persist, is a lack of interest from teams in moving high 2027 picks, per sources. Things will intensify next week, but that element could make trades more difficult than usual.

@The_RyanWallace His game management is so bad. A bunch of big third downs last year he threw behind the sticks/into coverage/away when unpressured. Forgetting the game clock against North Dakota that cost us a chance to score at the first half. A stat merchant in some ways is a fair label.
English
The way people continue to grade Avery Johnson against his high school recruiting profile while also pointing to a lack of team success as some sort of reflection of poor, individual performance is so tired.

@KStateBSB I think we can safely say the 25-26 k state athletic calendar has been one kick to the nuts after another.

@robhill5 @Greg_Schaum Followed by the call up of a rookie tearing up aaa ball who lets us down by September. The circle of life

@Greg_Schaum I can't wait for July when the Royals do their annual dump of useless veteran hitters. I like to call it Hunter Renfroe Day

#Royals lose 2-1.
Cole Ragans 6IP 1H 0R 4BB 1K 93 pitches. Fewest strikeouts for Cole in a start as a Royal.
A 1-0 lead evaporated in the 8th on a wild pitch from Nick Mears w/a runner on 3rd & an RBI double by Dillon Dingler. Each team had 4 hits

@goldbergkc 1 game after we broke an 0-30 something risp streak we’re already on a 0-10 skid. Not a fun year so far

@cdotharrison Every sports rating is up because of the change to Nelson calculations this year to better account for streaming. So hard to determine any trends

Attendance great. TV numbers up. New stars emerging. You’d never guess by the way the NBA is reported on the daily.
Michael Mulvihill@mulvihill79
The NBA regular season goes down as yet another demonstration of the power of sports on broadcast TV. Total time spent viewing the NBA this season was up +22% across national partners. On broadcast networks it was up +128%.

@klseaboldt For sure. It’s why they should have taken more shit for not signing/trading for a real bat in the offseason.
English
@duffymcgee There are no good choices. If this team is gonna reach its full height, Vinnie is gonna have to hit. How they handle games like this is a discussion that doesn't mean that much.

For those wondering, Lane Thomas’s career slash vs. LHP:

@klseaboldt Collins career is basically a year old. Thomas hasn’t been good since a year before with two injuries in the mean time. Which do you think is more predictive value? As Soren says, it’s a get it right business. I have no faith Thomas will be anything more than dfad by July.
English
@duffymcgee I keep hearing how Thomas is a bad call because of his numbers this season. If that's gonna be the criteria, it doesn't help Collins's cause. If we're gonna go back a few years, Thomas's numbers are MUCH better.
English
@klseaboldt So the small sample size is inappropriate for Thomas but not Collins? But yea. In his brief career, Collins’s obp is .310 for his career against lefties and .388 against righties but his babip and batted ball data suggest that’s more due to luck than anything.
English
@duffymcgee So, you'd bat Collins lead off with his .176 OBA vs. LHP this year.
English
@klseaboldt And that has been the eternal thorn in the royals side. In every full season but one since 2017, they’ve had a player accrue at least -1.0 war. They had three do it last year. The one year they didn’t was 2024. Not sucking is the first step to being good on offense.
English
@klseaboldt But the royals have not caught enough shit for signing Thomas to begin with. in his best season he walked 36 times while striking out 176. also a below poor defender. if you were putting together a preseason list of guys most likely to post negative war, he’d be in the top 5.
English
@klseaboldt @JohnRoyals26652 Hey he did hit .140 against lefties in 2025

We anticipate RHP Stephen Kolek will begin a rehab assignment with Omaha (AAA) tomorrow.

@KStateBSB The best k state baseball lineup of a generation is getting ruined by its pitching.
English
@stoolpresidente Man that last quarter mile fraction was so slow. 1:11 to 1:40. The first race was 8.5 furlongs and they hit the mile in 1:38. The claimer right before it was a half second slower. So not gonna be a great speed figure. That said I don’t think the horse hated the distance.

Here is me watching Silver Syndicate. Can’t only post the winners. I will say Silver battled his balls off for being dead at the top of the stretch.
Dave Portnoy@stoolpresidente
3 races and Silver Syndicate hasn’t even thought about rating yet. Same exact race every time. Still love him though. #GoGoGreys
