Idiot typist me likes to think that Salvy had a serious talk with himself and realized that he had a responsibility as captain to harness his aggressiveness.
Oh who am I kidding? It was only one game and he'll be back to ripping and slashing any pitch now. Unless . . . .
LOVED Vinnie's steal. That's just the kind of heads-up move that can spark a team.
I liked the spread of how they scored their runs. 6 is a number that makes me feel like they were doing a good job without just taking advantage of a team that didn't have it on the night. Also, scoring in four different innings feels markedly different from how the Royals have done most of their scoring on the year.
It reminds me of 2024 and also the Cardinals series, which I thought was going to be a breakout. Maybe it'll work this time?
And Seth Lugo WTH?! Looking like Cy Young out there, maybe a Bret Saberhagen! WOW. Loved ole Texans dude trying to walk to first, AND I DON'T THINK SO BUD! GRAB SOME WOOD YO OUT OF THERE!!!
I’m not sure if this is being discussed, but him slashing in the .600s has really hurt the offense. It’s hard to pick on anyone, given the overall futility of the offense, but I have a feeling if he gets going other guys are going to stop pressing and start hitting as well. He’s the captain for a reason.

Agree on Vinnie’s steal. That doesn’t happen if the player has checked out. So that sends a message to the other guys in the dugout. Play ball.

Getting on base and then getting a big hit to bring those runs home. Inspired!
I think we can remain skeptical of any kind of carryover, but even if it was just for one night, it was good to see it.
Caught myslelf smiling at the tv quite a bit last night. Lugo made me laugh a few times, is that an eephus he is throwing?
Savants calls it his “slow curve.” What a delightful pitch.
Okay, Now this is what I'm talking about.. I just typed a comment about Salvy yesterday but he showed me wrong. Good job and let's GOOOOO ROYAL'S!
Good to see the captain come through. He’s looking better in June.

Yesterday was a sight for sore eyes. Maybe Salvy still has some juice.
The Statcast metrics will tell you there’s been some bad luck. Good to see him come through in those spots last night. No! Not good…GREAT.
