Dan Szymborski put the Royals chances at reaching 120 losses at a mere 0.3%. This was before that day's game, a game the Royals won. Not-All-Star Lance Lynn surrendered a three-run homer to All-Star Salvador Perez, making it even less likely the Royals tie the Mets.
This is here for people to not watch the game.
At the moment its hard to say whether this game or the WC semi will more competitive.
Hard to argue against the WC at this point
After England got that quick goal, I thought it'd be a blowout. But man, this game is everything yesterday's wasn't.
England gonna England.
Caught the beginning of the game on TV. Bert was harping on the number of pitches Lynn throws per inning. I agree it's a problem, but what he never said is what to do about it. Throw more strikes, I suppose, but sometimes the problem is not so much that you're missing the strike zone as it is that the batters keep fouling pitches off. I don't know what you can do about that other than make better pitches, which is obviously a lot easier to say than to do.
Give up the HR earlier in the count?
Cave-Man triple!
Wilson single!?!
Lance Lynn is doing what he can to make sure Twins management isn't fooled into thinking the Twins might get back into contention at the trade deadline.
Bobby Wilson inspired by Jeff's criticism.
TWINS BASEBALL!!!
This Royals pitcher has been a real spark, man, to the Twins offense.
*Lance Lynn imminent implosion notification*
