I was at yesterday's game and even from the stands this was extremely noticeable. It's not why we lost (Estévez has to keep that game tied in the ninth), but it is still fucking infuriating. #Royals #FountainsUp umpscorecards.com/data/single-...

I don't think he fully understands what is going on, but #OrionTheHunterOfRattleMice walked over from his normal spot to watch the Test match. #EngvInd

I was looking through the #Royals transactions page, I had a massive double take when it said we had acquired Julio Rodriguez from the Mariners. Luckily I looked carefully before I got too excited. #FountainsUp

Belated #HeyHeyHeyHey after getting home and cooling off a bit. I didn't want it to get to the bottom of the ninth, but it was the second Nick Loftin walk off I've watched this week! #Royals #FountainsUp

Scorecard from tonight's game. I prefer no drama like last night, but it's been over two years since I've got to score a walk off! #Royals #FountainsUp

The 'Lights-Out Lucas' thing is more dramatic when (1) it's after sunset and (2) he doesn't go on to blow the save. #Royals #FountainsUp

My scorecard from tonight's game. There isn't too much interesting from a scoring perspective, but it was a fun game. I had to actually put some effort into counting everything for once! #Royals #FountainsUp

Post a meme made by you.
I made this a few years ago when premium tickets for Royals Rally included a barbecue tasting in addition to the special autograph session.

Per Statcast, that first pitch from Wacha to Alexander in the fourth was a 32.3 mph slider. I can't wait for that to be included in average/aggregate data. #Royals #FountainsUp

From the Athletic, Rob Manfred is apparently trying to break the union with his personal charisma. www.nytimes.com/athletic/646...
On a related note I wonder what I'll buy with my season ticket money when the 2027 season gets cancelled. Maybe a new laptop.

I was going to make a joke about thinking the #Royals game might not start on time, but I see the delay was announced half an hour ago. But it is /dark/ and now that I type this, pouring. #FountainsUp

According to MLB.com, the Rays posted lineup for tonight is only eight players, two of whom are playing third. Personally, I'm hoping they don't notice this and submit it to the umpire. #Royals #FountainsUp

Vindication for my scorecard! (I didn't even know it had been scored a hit until I looked later.)

This has now been fixed on the official play-by-play. It was still a stupid game, but seeing a double switch delights me! I sorely miss the tactical manoeuvres that the DH killed. #Royals #FountainsUp

It is not the most important thing, but Rave was on deck when the game ended, meaning the official scorer missed a double-switch when Estévez came in. Q went out to the umpire, so I don't know how this got missed. #Royals #FountainsUp

Wearing this shirt under my jersey to the game today to try to manifest some ball-playing on the part of the boys. #Royals #FountainsUp
