My guilty pleasure:

I saw some of those chocula/frankenberry cereals not long ago, and thought, oh I loved those! So I bought a box. But it was completely different. The cereal bits were synthetic or something. Completely different. 

(yeah I’m just a big kid)

[Patzky]

Oooh big 

[Twindy]

“The Joe Ryan experience.” I think I’ve seen enough of this particular one.

Looks like a perfect spot for Laweryson

At least it isn’t Kent….then again what’s the difference

Fifth inning?  Cause for concern - beyond just the one game.

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Interesting strategy— use up your challenges in order to bait the other team into using up their challenges!

Chrissakes get it together Joe

I'm beginning to think that SWR is our most reliable pitcher on the roster.  Good for him, but less so for the rest of them.

[Patzky]

I don't think any of the challenges tonight were really even close. Now the ump can kick back and relax

Sim is tough like Sonny Gray tough.

It's hard to believe teams aren't being a little smarter about this

Fully concur!

[GeorgeLooney]

I think Ryan had a nice outing - his velocity will tick up with warmer weather.

His next start will be in Toronto I think so we will look for that.

If he rocks to the rhythm he won't miss a call?

[Patzky]

Someone else cringe when the ball found Brooks Lee again?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Ball, outside

[amjgt]

OK. I’ve had enough. 

These CarShield commercials are the worst

[Patzky]

Good start 🥕 once again.

[Patzky]

That was his pitch

I ate a twinkie last week. YUK! I hadn't eaten one in years.

They changed everything about them for the worse. Probably a good thing for my pants size.

Very much so.

[SteveLV]

Lee has options left, correct?

Why the heck don't they bring up Culpepper at this point.  Or Arcia.  At least he can field even if he can't hit. But the pitchers deserve some competent SS play, don't they?

[Patzky]

Royals beat Guards. 

Always a good thing

That absolutely should bring up Arcia or play Gray.

Reading various baseball sites and national articles, apparently the ABS challenge is extremely popular among fans, players, and even many umpires. I'm not sold. Use it on every pitch or ditch it with financial rewards for umpire accuracy.  We are starting to see what has become pretty common in the minor leagues. Once the teams are out of challenges the strike zone does expand. Not much but it does.
