We locked him up for like a 3 year extension as soon as we saw how good he was last year.
You're going to be impressed—all of our starters are good! Of course, you are right, Lugo and Bubic are the best, and I know Lugo's your guy, he used to be with the Mets. But all are good, so every game is winnable for the Royals just because of our pitching. Doesn't mean we will win, we will probably get swept, but pitching keeps us competitive.
(Last year, all we needed was our pitching and Bobby Baseball did the rest. In the summer months the guy just went on an insane tear where he basically accounted for nearly all of our runs and we got out to an insane lead in the wild card race and then his protection behind him Vinnie Paz got injured and Bobby was pedestrian for the end of the season)

yeah that Covid year was a joke anyway...waste of a season if you ask me
one thing about the Royals that hasn't changed in 10 years is that they put the ball in play...I remember our pitchers back then who were all young hard throwers having a hell of a time trying to strike anyone out...we really don't have anyone like that on this staff though

Game two was a dud. But, as I told you our pitching kept us in it. Tip the cap once more to Higheyecue and his Mets.

I like this kid you guys got Caglianone...I know he's struggling but him and Witt are going to be a lethal 1-2 combo in the years to come
as for the game Soto continues on a hot streak, he's finally putting up the numbers he's supposed to

good series Infinite 8)
you weren't lying about your pitching, it will keep you guys in the WC hunt all season...and we didn't even face your 2 best guys
hey what's up with Cole Raagans, still hurt? he looked like a CY Young pitcher when he faced us last year

Yeah ended up being a pretty series, save for one snoozer in the middle. I’m glad you caught that about our pitching. Noah Cameron is one of our 3 big breakout guys this year. Mikeal Garcia, Kris Bubic, and Noah Cameron were all 3 guys on the bubble coming into the year who have broke out this year. Cameron might get the Rookie of the Year.
(Fun fact, he’s a local guy from small town St. Joseph, Missouri which is where Eminem is from and where his Great Aunt Edna always lived who he raps about and lived with a lot growing up and they did some local news stories about her and it was really cute cause they interviewed this old lady in 99’ and she was like “oh I don’t know much about it , but he was always a’rapppin but nothin doin, but boy when he started doing that Slim Shady, welp, welp, that about got them.” ;D )
Sean Manea sure rings a bell. He actually won a World Series for us without ever actually playing for us. We drafted him and traded him for… wait for it… wait for it… it’s a name that’s gonna give you nightmares, a half season rent-a-player that destroyed your hopes and dreams in 2015 and then did the same thing with the Cubs the very next year getting a World Series MVP Ben Freaking Zobrist !!!!!
In my opinion—Manea—he’s like one of those slightly above average guys that can get overpaid in a big city like New York. He gave up the game to the bottom of our order and let a .94 guy Tolbert we only use for pinch running single and score the winning run off him.
I’m sure you’re happy though to have Manea back healthy and his arm looked good for most of his outing.
…As for Ragans he’s had nagging injuries his whole career including this one, some even thought he’d be out for the season this year but he got a second opinion and he’s gonna try to give it a go after the All Star Break but who knows. Not to mention, you know we also had Brady Singer (solid #3 starter for the Reds this year) but traded him for India? That just shows you how stacked the pitching is in Kansas City. That’s our winning formula, great pitching and then relying on Bobby Baseball on offense.
Can’t believe you guys got to our big dog Estevez not once but twice in the series—and with a pinch hitter! Estevez is in the All Star game this week and you got to him twice!
