The Royals were in desperate need of a win, and Janson Junk had not allowed a hit in the first 3 1⁄3 innings pitched. Outside of Jonathan India being hit by an 0-2 fastball to lead off the game, the Royals had nothing. But Bobby Witt Jr. lined his MLB leading 33rd double into the … Read more
At the beginning of the season, the Royals unveiled what they hoped would be the new HDH, HEE. And things looked good at first for Hunter Harvey, Lucas Erceg, and Carlos Estévez. Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for Harvey to go down with a lower back injury; to this day, he has only appeared in … Read more
All-Star Carlos Estévez came on for the 10th inning and gave up three runs, two on a Kyle Stowers homer hit to Mars, to blow the game and lose 8-7 on a walkoff. New half of the season, same story in some cases. Different story in others. In the first AND sixth inning, the Royals … Read more

Edward Cabrera was on the mound for the Marlins, while Zack Littell got the nod for the Rays. It was a blistering hot day in the Florida sun, and certainly everyone … Read more
Shane Baz not only looks like a haggard Confederate general on his back heels having to retreat while Tecumseh Sherman and his Union troops barrel down on his position, he’s lately pitching like one too. In May for Baz:19.2 IP 30 hits 6 HRs allowed 12:10 K:BB ratio 9.60 ERA 2.03 WHIP Particularly problematic is … Read more
Drew Rasmussen was dazzling, striking out five and surrendering four hits over a season-high six innings of work. All of the Rays’ runs came in the fifth inning, and by way of the single. Chandler Simpson singled to drive in Jose Caballero, Yandy Diaz drove in Danny Jansen and Simpson with a single, and Jonathan … Read more
