Dr. Ty Benbow What. A. TRIP!

@midwestern_ope Greatest card game ever!

Midwesterners will understand this

@jaredcwilson I used blue books for my freshman courses, as well — you would have thought it was exam via water boarding! 🤣

Administering the final exam in my pastoral ministry course this morning using blue books. Students must write answers longhand. I'm seeing guys groaning and keep massaging their hands, I guess, because nobody writes for sustained periods any more.

@SamulskiNYC Stop making sense, Eric… let them seethe!

- Hitting .270 w a .283 xBA and .423 xSLG - 4th in baseball in average exit velocity. - 2nd in baseball in blast% per contact - 2nd in blast% per swing - 16th in baseball in bat speed - 21st in baseball in barrel rate - FB% is down 13% but the big hits will come.

@royalsreview Checks out — KC is an entire 4 games out of the Wild card and there are only 140+ games left. WHY IS EVERYONE UNDER-REACTING???

The Royals have probably played themselves out of a playoff spot already royalsreview.com/kansas-city-ro…

@thinkingwest Old Man and the Sea

What’s a book that stayed with you long after you finished it?

@kingdom_royals Saving this…

The royals will finish last in the AL central. Book it. This is a last place team.

@SasquatchVinnie On April 15? Lol, why are we even asking yet? The number is irrelevant (and should be low)

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being not worried, 10 being worried, how do you feel about the Royals so far and why?

@TheMFinKC Did you like the 2025 Vinnie P experience? He hit .177 in April and then finished with the 6th most RBI in all of baseball. Could we be overreacting???

i don't like the 2026 vinnie pasquantino experience

@AndrewSpruill_ You are literally talking about the guy who ranked sixth in the MLB in RBI last year… Vinnie P is a proven run producer… can we at least get out of April before we render a judgment?

“He’s a slow starter. We’re not worried about him.” Cool. So he’ll start pulling his weight in June when the team is 15 games back? Great!

@BigHitWhitt Shohei Ohtani plays for the Royals?

Nothing like wasting a great starting pitching rotation, the best player in baseball and multiple all stars. This team should not be this bad.

@CrownTalk_KC Hey Siri, How many MLB players had more RBI than Vinnie P in 2025?

Vinnie through first 73-76 PA by year: 2023: 139 wRC+ 2024: 150 wRC+ 2025: 71 wRC+ 2026: 15 wRC+ This is a concerning trend and may go beyond just being a “slow starter” #Royals

@macreed326 @Drizzy_Dru29 You lose four straight games in football, you’ve lost the division, the month is over, and the playoffs are in jeopardy. In baseball, you lose four and it’s not even necessarily a lost WEEK! Turn the intensity dial back a full turn and enjoy yourself. It’s all gonna be okay!

@macreed326 @Drizzy_Dru29 This… this right here! I finally figured it out. Royals fans aren’t actually Royals fans… they’re Chiefs fans. You can’t root for an MLB team like you do an NFL team…

The Royals don’t do any of the little things right on the baseball field. Tyler Tolbert doesn’t understand the rules of the game. Starling Marte didn’t use a challenge in the 9th when he had 2 available. Ultimately that comes down to the manager and the staff.

@Drizzy_Dru29 I’m not even a Royals fan and I swear I’m more faithful to this team than the people who actually claim to be fans… Vinnie P is going to produce. Garcia and Witt are elite. Cags and Jensen are going to be stars. Let them gel and get into a rhythm.

@salvyenjoyer Royals fan are hysterical…

To the Royals: You are losing the fanbase. The bullpen can’t hold a lead. The offense is absolutely abysmal. You are close to losing the casual fan (if not already). You are losing the city. With the draft coming next week, you keep losing, and you will lose the city. You will be irrelevant. All eyes are on the Chiefs. #FountainsUp

@JoeGravino @TheFan965 @DustyLikins You mean the season when only five players in all of MLB had more RBI than Vinnie P?

@TyBenbow @TheFan965 @DustyLikins I mean if this season iwas not a painful extension of last year then we would chill but honestly, this is brutal.

.@DustyLikins has had ENOUGH of this invisible Royals offense. Who is the one that should have to answer for this? Fescoe and Dusty are LIVE M-F from 6-10 AM! LISTEN: audacy.com/965thefan/show… WATCH: @965thefan" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">youtube.com/@965thefan

@julo_petty @royalsreview Friend… do you how many MLB hitters had more total RBI than Vinnie P last year? It’s five. 5 players…. In all of baseball.

@TyBenbow @royalsreview lol did you forget last year most are just fair hitters that’s it

Let's play armchair hitting coach. What is wrong with the Royals offense? Give me your best suggestions on how they can fix things.

@Sam_The_Murph @juliokcmo Months? It’s April 15… only 5 (FIVE) players had more RBI than Vinnie P in 2025. If this is still an issue in May that’s a different story, but Pasquantino heats up and is a reliable run producer.

@TyBenbow @juliokcmo The point is that if this team wants to succeed players can’t just be a liability for months because “they’re going to be fine”

Can’t hide Vinnie anywhere in this lineup. Hot garbage. Put him on the bench

@ajcluck @juliokcmo Pasquantino was #6 in RBI in all of baseball for 2025…

@TyBenbow @juliokcmo Sounds like you are the one who just got engaged, the offense bas been the MAIN problem since late 2024, they can’t push guys across the plate. I’m done giving Vinny the benefit of doubt over “monthly splits”…we are losing games NOW

@burnnyernie @juliokcmo The Royals have played themselves out of the division?

@TyBenbow @juliokcmo You are eating too many of the yellow crayons my fella, if you think that’s what many have a bone to pick with. League average splits from a primary 1st basemen from May-September does not mean squat when you’ve played your way out of the postseason in March/April.
