@JohnyJ_15 You usually appear very stoic and optimistic on your videos and on Twitter (I tip my cap). Do you ever just give in to the pure fan emotion of wanting to shout some choice explicatives? Cause this team is ridiculous

I’m sure this will be good. Send me your mailbag questions.

@TheWARmonger_ Would love to see the odds on that Kyle Isbel catch in the 7th

Jac Caglianone with a perfect throw to the plate 🎯

@Royals Please make it stop

FINAL: Tigers 2, Royals 1

Team Barrel%

And Michael Wacha to follow it up with this performance… impressive to say the least out of this pitching staff

@MLB @Royals

@JohnyJ_15 How much stock do you put into our bullpens performance last night? I know the conditions were pretty sub par but it seemed like lynch and falter couldn’t sniff the zone

Gonna be recording our mailbag episode a little earlier than usual! Send in your questions before 4pm CT!

Kyle Isbel is 3-for-3. He's hitting .538.

Is there anyone hotter than Kyle Isbel in America right now?

@JohnyJ_15 We need to make a be a dawg cycle meme for Kyle

Kyle Isbel stays hot as he goes the other way for a 2-out, 2-strike, RBI single. 7-8-9 hitters doing all the damage. 2-0, #Royals.

Terrance Gore's family was honored ahead of the @Royals home opener 💙 And his son, Zane, delivered a perfect first pitch!

@twinswval @JohnyJ_15 He hit the back of the bullpen, would have been a HR regardless

@JohnyJ_15 Would it of still been a homerun with the old fences?

Kyle Isbel is the first #Royals player to hit one out with the fences moved in. Crushed it. 2-1, KC.
