Royals (Singer) vs Twins (Lopez): 8/12/24, 6:40pm

With Ryan's injury, Pablo has to be an ace. We need a return to last October's form in the worst way.

[USAFChief]

Need this game badly, 'cause tomorrow is...an unlikely W.

[Twins_Fan_in_NJ]

SWR was masterful on Saturday night. He doesn't have to do that every outing, but if he can come close to it, I think the rotation can survive...if Pablo gets back to being an ace. 

[umterp23]

Starting 9 vs our Starting 9 most likely favors the Royals for this 3 game set as they will play the same guys most likely every day.

Tonight's KC's 2, 3 & 4 (Witt Jr. 87, Pasquantino 84 and Perez 78) hitters combined have 249 RBI's.  Our total 9 guys have 325 with Jeffers only one in the 50's with 53.  

Witt leads them in 14 of 16 hitting categories with SB's and K's being the two he doesn't.  Impressive year he is having.  

The scheduling gods were in favor of Royals with a 2-game set vs Cardinals Friday/Saturday, so they got another rest day yesterday.  

Twins have to find a way to win 2 out of 3

[Craig Arko]

At this point, probably a good idea to win every game you can.

We are 5-2 against KC so far this season. They are a much better home team than road team. Let’s go Twins!

That's the best lineup Rocco has avaliable currently.

Agreed! Hopefully we see this one again tomorrow and then they’re facing a lefty on Wednesday so we’ll see the lefty Rocco special.

Agreed. If they lose this one, it won't be because of the line up decisions.

[Mortimerkenny21]

Go Twins!!

[CRF]

Pablo needs to get his sh*t together. 

[TwinsCD]

Hey Bux, the sunglasses work better if they're over your eyes, not on top of your cap.

[TwinsCD]

Oh look, 1st inning dinger Lopez is back again.

[gregens]

Good grief.... Lopez

[Aggies7]

Go ahead and jump us, royals. Go on and play the Yankees or orioles.

[CRF]

Bobby jr and Salvy...just kill us. 

[Blyleven2011]

I know its early , but Why do we pitch to Witt 

[BH67]

Cubs lead Cleveland 3-0 in the 4th, with Shota Imanaga on the mound.

You can't just walk him every time.

I would hope to god our alleged #1 could handle pitching to the #2 hitter with one out and nobody on in the first inning

They better have some kind of strategy against Witt if therecare runners on base , dint let Witt beat you  , Pablo better be perfect the rest of the way ...

Also can't throw him a non-sweeping sweeper

[Aggies7]

Two quick awful strike outs !

[thelanges5]

They’re only down by one. They just need some professional at bats here no need to force anything.

[Aggies7]

Weak crowd, looks like

They just had 4 professional at bats and 3 were strike outs  ...
