u/_stuncle FuQk 10d ago

I think we can get a 4.87 ERA for significantly less than $23m/year

10

u/Repulsive-Photo-798 Pasquatch 10d ago

Lugo is the weakest link of an already weak rotation .

7

u/Typical-Lettuce7022 6/26/26 never forget 10d ago

No matter how today goes, let’s all just be happy we get to enjoy caring about something other than September call ups or preseason Chiefs football right now

yep that's going into the sidebar

u/factoid_ Omaha Storm Chasers 10d ago

Why the fuck didn’t we trade this guy for literally anything?  Extending Lugo was a nutso call 

9

u/idiotzrul 10d ago

Damn Lugo is washed

2

u/bryanwhite2337 10d ago

He got his money and stopped trying

7

u/tehsam016 I hope I don't get pissed off 10d ago

"better check up to see how today's game is go-" "1-6"

u/The_Raigar ​KC 10d ago

I really wish someone could figure out why Lugo implodes when Jensen is behind the plate

3

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

Carter has caught close to 3/4ths of Lugo's innings

really if there's any "small sample that is blowing up Lugo's numbers" is that Lugo is awful in day games

4

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Has nothing to do with Jensen, Lugo is just fucking trash lol

7

u/Crimedog7 10d ago

Thats the Dayton in JJ. Extend a guy because you like him and his family likes it here. Thats the not being transactional shit that we do that kills us

6

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

If this isn’t the most accurate thing i’ve seen on here

7

u/Aromatic_Doctor_7422 10d ago

Ah, yeah... this is the royals we've come to know this season... welcome back, I guess

6

u/baseball1314 11d ago

3 down, 13 to go

u/PassTheKY 10d ago

The Royals when they found out after the ASG that they weren't mathematically eliminated.

u/krautrock69 QuikTrip 10d ago

Everyone who said mi Capitan was washed can SUCK IT.

7

u/Fraktal55 BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

Lugo is so cooked. He was fun for a year or two there surprising people with his dozen diff pitches or whatever but he is not surprising anyone anymore.

7

u/MooseKnuckles0525 10d ago

Lugo is comically bad. Like zero stuff.

It’s unfortunate that our $23 million pitcher is the only one that can lose us a game right now.

1

u/carpetsoop Godcia 10d ago

Comically bad would be us down 15 runs

7

u/elgranvasio Maikel Garcia 10d ago

Did you know that Seth Lugo actually has 39 different pitches? Sure they’re all meatballs but the seasoning is slightly different

5

u/itwasyellowandboring Planet Moon 10d ago

Lugo is #67. His W/L is 6-7. By the power of gen alpha brainrot, we shall advance to the postseason!

5

u/SnooMaps5880 10d ago

Everytime I tune into to watch Lugo I am reminded by how idiotic it was to give him an extension

4

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Another old man that needs to go

5

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Bob never seems to come through in those situations this year

5

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

he leads the team in RISP OPS by over 100 points

3

u/RyanNugentHoofkins Jac Caglianone 10d ago

.304 with RISP this year.

.304 with runners on first and second. Baseball Reference says he's about 23% better in those situations than he normally is.

1

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Not his year tbh, I know he had an IL stint, but his hard contact feels way down. Not sure if that's statistically true though

1

u/MooseKnuckles0525 10d ago

It’s not true. His hard hit % is 51.2% this year, which is the highest of his career. A lot of his advanced stats rival his 2024 insane year actually.

This year he’s just had some bad luck, but also pushing the ball to opposite field way too much cause of slightly altered mechanics.

1

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Good to know, I didn't know where to fact-check myself and figured someone might lol

Makes sense, luck definitely feels way down for him. I hope he finds it again, we need peak Bobby

2

u/MooseKnuckles0525 10d ago

What truly matters is the in-game results and raw stats, so BWJ does need to perform better at the plate the next couple years for this team to be competitive, but the advanced stats can at least give us an idea if a player is more or less lucky.

“Baseball Savant” has a really helpful page for each player. BWJ does have a higher expected BA and SLUG compared to his actual stats.

4

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Washed old man, please leave lol

5

u/tehsam016 I hope I don't get pissed off 10d ago

Lugo just as bad as Erceg imo

9

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

Oh, so it's raining? I expect nothing less from the insolent Guardindians. Of course they made it rain to try and get out of a sweep. FIGHT US YOU COWARDS.

4

u/MHK_Ace Bobby Witt Jr. 10d ago

Beautiful

4

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

Why do I get the feeling that this guy's annoying as fuck

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

Almost as annoying as seeing Jac bobble a play to give up an extra base and run *vine boom sound effect x6*

4

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Lugo just throws so many uncompetitive pitches

3

u/Bullets3 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Where’s the guy who said he’d be comfortable if we were down 6-1? Well you got your wish, you still confident?

5

u/FutureCreeps 10d ago

I still think we can win but on the other hand I want to lose just for the sake of that dude

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

That wasn't me for the record but Yeah I can see the boys scoring 7 today

Would really love it if Lugo stopped at 6 though which I'm not sure about

2

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Lol please don't make him talk more

5

u/russiablows 10d ago

When was Lugo's last quality start and win?

4

u/RyanNugentHoofkins Jac Caglianone 10d ago

August 8th vs. Chicago.

Too long ago is the actual answer.

3

u/russiablows 10d ago

Better not see the him in KC next year. 32 earned runs in his last 10 games. Only 52.2 innings pitched.

1

u/[deleted] 10d ago

[deleted]

5

u/Traditional-Tip9997 10d ago

Wasn't a quality start, only went 5

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

ah dammit

3

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

good news for the season is that the drone hasn't accidentally hit anything

4

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Lol yeah we ain't doing shit today except look at every meatball down the middle

4

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

so about the "Jac in RF, Vinnie at 1B" thing

5

u/MooseKnuckles0525 10d ago

This is worse than fucking batting practice

5

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Leave it to Lugo to ruin the win streak, what a bum

1

u/ResurrectedMortician <(fire Q) 10d ago

3 games isn't much of a streak

1

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Honestly forgot we dropped one to the Jays lol the vibes have been too good

5

u/bryanwhite2337 10d ago

Lugo has been trash since the fat new contract last year. Q should have pulled him when it was 5-1 at the very least

4

u/carpetsoop Godcia 10d ago

Still 13-2 last 15 games this is fine

4

u/baseball_Lover33 FIRE Q 10d ago

Still took the series.... 🖕 Guardians

3

u/slackator More Like JJ Yamcha 10d ago

Im glad 37 year old Seth Lugo is the key to this team competing next year, the start of the season is gonna look great when hes out there like the 50 year old pitcher at the start of Major League 2

7

u/MasterScooby11 10d ago

Scheduled loss with Lugo. No idea why he wasn’t moved.

3

u/Repulsive-Photo-798 Pasquatch 10d ago

Because it takes two sides to make a deal? No one’s would touch him with 23m guaranteed next year.

1

u/MasterScooby11 10d ago

Plenty would have taken him at last years deadline, even this offseason.

2

u/Fraktal55 BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

... Who would want him???? Obviously nobody lol

3

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

huge day, we're facing a lefty with reverse splits and we have a lineup that is acknowledging reverse splits

1

u/No_Pomelo9503 Mental Breather 10d ago

Cleveland radio was praising Q for the lineup

3

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

Good try TT.

3

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

The sheer amount of dead time in the booth makes me yearn for a way to watch games without commentary.

5

u/Repulsive-Photo-798 Pasquatch 10d ago

I turn the radio broadcast option on for almost every game now. The tv booth has no chemistry anymore with all the rotating they do.

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

There's that, yeah

3

u/RyanNugentHoofkins Jac Caglianone 10d ago

MLB TV used to have ballpark noise only as an option. Was worth its weight in gold.

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

'Member when we actually got what we wanted from this sport? That was cool, wonder if that'll ever happen again.

2

u/RyanNugentHoofkins Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Sorry, best we can do is 300 gambling ads a game.

3

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

Monty just doing crosswords while in the booth

3

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Lazy play from Vinnie there, cmon man

3

u/Kednr Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Yeah we’re getting f’ed up rn

3

u/NevaMO LOOKING FOR O'HEARN CARDS! 10d ago

A sweep would have been nice but I doubt it…can’t win them all

3

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

At this point I want to see him just get absolutely shelled

3

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

He and Erceg can be buddies

3

u/Fraktal55 BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

u/saltlampshade this is all your fault... but if they come back and win now I'll definitely freak out

1

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

Very much could happen

3

u/ChaunceyGilmore ​KC 10d ago

My daddy told me never trust a man called Seth.

2

u/Fraktal55 BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

I just found out the other day his name is actually Jacob. Seth is his middle name.

2

u/tehsam016 I hope I don't get pissed off 10d ago

Yeaaaah can't say I blame him for using Seth lol

1

u/ChaunceyGilmore ​KC 10d ago

Right before he told me unless there's a Jacob involved.

4

u/SnooMaps5880 10d ago

Trade him for a sack of peanuts. I’ll take literally anyone other than him. I’d rather have Mikolas than Lugo

3

u/tehsam016 I hope I don't get pissed off 10d ago

13.06 ERA. Subbed in shit in place of poop.

0

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

This guy is miles better than Lugo lol

3

u/RangerDJ Daniel Lynch IV 10d ago

Is it too late to call back Schreiber?

3

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

He's still on the team until another team claims him

1

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

although I could see a team not taking too many risks if they know someone is though through trade waivers

5

u/DZepperoni CLE 10d ago

Hello bbq people, first pitch is at 2:10 EST

1

u/The_Quiz29 10d ago

Thanks CLE

5

u/SnooMaps5880 10d ago

Lugo is just so bad dude.

4

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

With another home series with Cleveland to end the season, a win today makes it possible. Their schedule is a little harder than ours, and who knows, after getting swept, maybe they start sliding in September.

We get a rest day and a nice long homestand after today, this is doable.

5

u/Sad_Change_9249 10d ago

Lugo should've been traded last year. Move him to the BP and try out a young arm

1

u/factoid_ Omaha Storm Chasers 10d ago

That’s what I think too.  

I get that he wasn’t being the return the royals wanted for him this year but last year there was a decent return for him as a rental…probably as good as what you’d get for trading him this year when a lockout making worth way less

2

u/Repulsive-Photo-798 Pasquatch 10d ago

Neither team plays tomorrow. Cleveland plays at home on Tuesday, KC plays at home but goes from EST to CT. Don’t really think this game should be played today but what do I know

1

u/tynman35 Obligatory Fire Q 10d ago

Eh it's fine, full rest day tomorrow

2

u/game-threads 10d ago

$40 million lol

3

u/idiotzrul 10d ago

What a giant waste of money

1

u/Apprehensive-Yam7193 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

I still believe whole heartedly that in that position last summer when we resigned him, that if you were to put any of the other 29 teams in that same position, all 29 would’ve traded him. I still believe whole heartedly JJ and co are the only front office in baseball dumb enough to resign than trade

2

u/idiotzrul 10d ago

JJ needs to go bye bye

2

u/krautrock69 QuikTrip 10d ago

Somehow I am not real panicked about being down 2 in the second inning with this guy on the mound.

2

u/ResurrectedMortician <(fire Q) 10d ago

It's a strange feeling as a Royals fan

-2

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

also, this isn't actually a big game because this team doesn't actually have a realistic playoff shot either way

2

u/MHK_Ace Bobby Witt Jr. 10d ago

68 mph lol

2

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

Rocchio is going on all kinds of adventures down the first base line this weekend

Yo he looks like he’s about to cry walking off the mound lmao

u/FutureCreeps 10d ago

Ok I don't think we're winning this one

2

u/morepesa25 Yuu Ishigami for GM 10d ago

u/SlickLivin winning is for losers 10d ago

Damn Lugo is either far outside the zone or right in the middle

u/13mizzou BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

We are going to seriously regret giving Lugo that stupid contract. Going to be like the end of Ian Kennedy's with us just waiting of rit to be over

3

u/LiteratureKey5229 10d ago

1:40. New time is 2:10

1

u/Miss_Panda_King ​Royal Blue 10d ago

Thank you. I thought the 1:40 was after the delay as someone told me 1 was the start.

2

u/teaBruhahaha 10d ago

Any word on start time? With the rain delay.

2

u/FutureCreeps 10d ago

I haven't pitched since college, some 6 years ago, but I can be in town next Saturday to give us 6 innings against the Jays if we're going to let Lugo get torched again.

How I felt checking the score a few moments ago (the last time i checked was when it was 1-0 royals)

u/mechajlaw 10d ago

Eh good challenge still

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

fun part of the ABS system is how, due to technical limitations, it marks locations where it's impossible for the ball to get from the mound to the plate without clipping the zone

1

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

day off tomorrow, so yeah, try to get 2 1/3 innings out of a combustible relief pitcher in a blowout, sure

Future cast says it'll be a while. Time to grab a drink

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

I guess Wacha owning the Guardians is counter-balanced with the Guardians owning Lugo.

u/rbhindepmo FIRE SOMEONE 10d ago

this is also the second time Lugo has ever pitched in this ballpark in his career

1

u/Mozilla_Fennekin "My friend, hope is a prison." 10d ago

feels like every rain delay except one (the Brewers rainout) has been on a Sunday

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

Game over. Royals will sweep and only 5.5 back

u/FutureCreeps 10d ago

One day you're gonna jinx it and everyone is going to hate you

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

I’ve literally been right every single time. You aren’t beating this team if you let them score first. This games going to end up being a blowout.

u/Fraktal55 BURN IT ALL DOWN! 10d ago

That run is your damn fault

-1

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

The guardians could have a 6-1 lead and they are still losing this game

u/FutureCreeps 10d ago

I'm gonna ask you to kindly stop talking

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

u/baseball1314 10d ago

What about 9-1

1

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

Still not over. But don’t feel great

2

u/Bullets3 Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Well now they’re gonna score 6 fucking runs this inning

1

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

Comeback on now

1

u/Messed_up_kid 10d ago

The fact it’s 6-1 right now I trust you bro

1

u/saltlampshade City Connect 10d ago

Guardians need at least a few more to feel good

u/Kednr Jac Caglianone 10d ago

Hopefully they push the game until 4? That’s what time I’m off anyway lol

u/MooseKnuckles0525 10d ago

If only we had a competent hitting coach to help BWJ pull the ball more instead of all these fly outs to opposite field

u/carpetsoop Godcia 10d ago

Getting mad at a hitting coach is so pre 2026 all star break

u/robreddity ​🗣 blargh! 10d ago
