[rwilfong86]

There goes that man again. Unreal.

[Teflon]

That Royce Lewis is quite good!!

[Squirrel]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!

[PDX Twin]

Lewis is not human!

[Jocko87]

This is getting fun.

[CRF]

Might as well start calling him "granny"!

[Sutter50]

Royce! We're not worthy!!!!

[Aggies7]

What’s the single season record?

[Linus]

Good grief Royce. I love his attitude about bases loaded situations. It’s the pitcher that should be nervous.

I've wondered about the plantar fasciitis if it's better to just keep going until you shut it down for good. Like he can't do much damage now but if it starts to heal its more suseptible to a reinjury that would be much worse?

 

I’ve had it twice. It didn’t bother me so much during play (tennis and cardio tennis), but after, omg, painful. But then, I wasn’t playing every day, either.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Royce Lewis...the Wizard! Straight sorcery!

Nevermind, it’s 6

Royce Lewis has just joined Don Budge, Rod Laver, Stefi Graf, Mo Connelly and Margaret Court  with four grand slams in a calendar year.

Me too.  Some days alot of walking no pain.  Some days couch potato really painful.   It was weird.

It really is a bizarre ailment.  No rhyme or reason to it at all.

Per usual, my dog decided to go ape sh*t at an inopportune time.  Missed seeing Royce's slam on the radio.

[Mike Sixel]

Wow.

Hope he saves a couple for the national stage in a few weeks.

That's kinda cool that they were his only slams of his career.  Interesting.

[Parfigliano]

Nice D Correa.  Now find your bat.

[Squirrel]

OMGOMGOMG, CORREA! It’s so great to have an actual good SS for a change

I know, very. ARod holds the career record. Wonder if Royce can catch him over the course of his? If he stays in this pace, he will, but, he could do a Mattingly 🙂

25 is rather incredible.  

[lecroy24fan]

I you go back and listen to the TV call, Dick and LaTroy both called the slam but neither directly said he would hit one. 

[Parfigliano]

White Sox D appears
