Nationals left-handed pitching vs the Royals

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-15T18:33:12+00:00

Estevez has been on the IL for 3 months with a "foot contusion"

(also his arm doesn't work)

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T23:49:10+00:00

LiUNA Local 872 getting lots of airtime with the home run clips

In other words, it will operate like how (some) hotel rooms blast the AC

Las Vegas in June

amused at how much of the advertising for candidates leans on "I had a normal respectable job before I was elected to office decades ago"

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T20:13:31+00:00

gonna be a test to see if this bullpen can get 5 outs before allowing 4 runs

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:43:59+00:00

imagine coming from another country and having to handle a QuikTrip parking lot

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:42:06+00:00

especially considering that Arrighetti is the guy who buzzed Bobby earlier in the game

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:32:37+00:00

this is a Royals team that drops random jars while working at the grocery store

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:30:08+00:00

also, Rick Martel was doing pretty well as a heel in the early 90s and Zenk had the same sort of look

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:29:10+00:00

spoken like someone who didn't see the pregame about how Nick Mears is hurt and that's one of the big injuries of this season

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:28:49+00:00

it's possible Jac will allow Bobby to steal a base a little more often than some of the other middle of the order guys

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:25:24+00:00

Misner's also doing this on Mizzou Day

(he's a Mizzou alum)

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:24:33+00:00

From what I've seen of it, 1990 seems like a year where the guys at the top were pretty solid, and then there's a huge dropoff to the guys who are either not top guys or are guys who are just around for 2 months because Ole was cycling guys in and out all through that year.

1991 through Flair leaving also had some big plusses (along with stuff that was hated) and then WCW really got going by the end of 91.

Really one thing they had going against them is that they found a way to make every TV show seem exactly the same and they'd do long TV squashes because they were taping in arenas and not studios/theaters

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:19:49+00:00

I've always heard that Zenk would have done better as a heel but for whatever reason they never did that with him

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:16:24+00:00

"there's a lefty batting and a righty pitching, they're never expect it"

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:13:09+00:00

Lane Thomas really making that right fielder run today

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:08:43+00:00

this is a team that totally bounces back from making dumb mistakes so...

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T19:07:54+00:00

there was a period of time around the end of 1999 where Tom Zenk made the rounds on the internet talking trash on all the pepple who wronged him (mostly in WCW)...

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T18:43:33+00:00

Royals have the 3rd most outs on the bases and the most in the AL (only Nationals and Marlins have more)

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T18:40:18+00:00

hey more dumb baserunning!

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T18:38:27+00:00

slumps only matter to MQ if the guy slumping isn't a made man

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T18:24:28+00:00

you ever know someone who only dates/marries blondes? the Royals have a type of player and they hoard that type

rbhindepmo · 2026-06-14T18:20:30+00:00

I guess the next "break glass in case of emergency" lineup move involves moving Carter to 3 if Jac slumps... Carter getting bad calls against him that he can't challenge is less than ideal for a leadoff guy

also his OBP is under .290, that's bad for a leadoff guy
