It sucks when we're watching the Royals more for the opponent than them, but that's where we're at, and Ohtani is brilliant. He is a lot of fun to watch, even when he's abusing your team. What's way more troubling is that the Royals didn't look much better against the bullpen, or any other pitcher they faced in the last week.

Mr. B, count me as a subscriber who has signed up for clever innuendo. While your stat analysis is excellent, it's your use of words that I enjoy most. Please keep it up. While my favorite team struggles mightily, I can always look forward to a pleasant post from you.

I made the trip out to see our boys take on Ohtani (and see a friend). It went as expected, but it was still a very enjoyable experience. Pretty decent stadium. Was a sell out and fans were into it. Tough times for us Royals fans, but baseball is well on it's way back.

Shame about Bubic. And the first real bad black eye for the coaching staff. I know you can't force a guy to tell you his arm hurts, but he shouldn't have been out there. These things are kinda inevitable though once it starts to tear. I think.

I seriously doubt that anyone at all expected a Royals win when the pitching matchup was Ohtani vs VMG (Various Miscellaneous Guys.)
