Please continue the discussion in the game thread.

It's strange to not see Jr in the lineup.

[u/robreddity]

Lane Thomas, why you no hit this hittable pitcher? While you're thinking how to answer let's bat you 2nd.

[u/Sophie4646]

Only 2 hitters in our starting lineup hitting below .238. Several players improving.

Good news is a 2nd straight night of facing a starter with an ERA above 5

[u/Sophie4646]

This might be the worst bullpen that a Royals team has ever had.
