MITCH's HR Last Night
This is just beautiful to watch, especially with the sound off. Since, for some reason, MITCH's massive HR was all about Ryan and how smart he is.

Holy son of a MITCH
That. Was. Awesome.

Just watched it with the sound on
Much better with silence. Or “America, Fuck Yeah” dubbed to “Mitch Maier, Fuck Yeah” playing in the background.

Mitch made that pitch his bitch
Too bad he’s not rich, but I think he’s found his niche. Hope this power he’s shown isn’t a glitch. I think Ryan is kitsch. He’s more qualified to work at Abercrombie and Fitch.
Now it’s lunchtime. I’ve got an itch to get some Which Wich.

You all know what this means, don't you?
Ryan will be trying to call four-five home runs a night from now on.
She thinks she missed the train to Mars; she's out back counting stars.
friday night he's calling one for #2

The team's in 9th with 46 points!
Go us!
The highest-ranking Royal is…guess who.
Mr. Yuniesky Betancourt with 10 points.

He Gets A
Lot of chances to make routine plays look spectacular, and the hands and hands are pretty impressive.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

did they give a measurement on that one?
@@@Just assume I forgot the sarcasm font @@@ ... now, if I could just figure out the ### cynical font ###
According to hittracker.com
It was 425 feet, which is the Royals’ 7th-longest jack on the year behind 3 of Billy’s, 2 of Jose’s, and 1 of Pods’. It also would have left the field in all 30 parks (shocker).

Is there anything that actually measures the SPEED
of the ball leaving the park, though? That thing got out of there in a HURRY. Wonder if Hit F/X will have that capability?

The speed off the bat was 107.7 mph
Which is about normal.

i guess they would have to measure it in fathoms

I liked Billy's confusing game of "Is it a homer?"
His prize the first time playing was a single and an out, and the second time he stood on second base for 5 minutes before continuing his trot. Seems like he should have reversed the running and ended up with a double and a homer.
That has to be the longest home run trot of the season.

They didn’t even mention it.

Someone needs to ask them
if they count replay-delayed trots. Have there been any others this year?

Didn't Mitch hit like 20 HRs in AAA?
He’s got a little bit of power. You shouldn’t be so surprised Ryan.

He's like the guy
When you play basketball with your friends, and there’s always that one guy who’s less athletic than anybody else, and when that person shoots and it misses, Ryan’s like that guy who freaks out from excitement from it almost going in.

I thought he was freaking out because it was the 2nd time last night that they were talking about Mitch's
positive contributions to the team and as they were talking, he did something TOTALLY FUCKING AWESOME!
Yeah, I thought the excitement was warranted.
When he was talking about Mitch’s good defensive play and then he makes one, that’s like walking up to a roulette table and putting your money on black.
When he decided that he should talk more about Mitch to see if good things would happen and called a home run, and it happened on the next pitch, that’s like walking up to a roulette table and putting money on 00 and it hits! Very exciting.
Reminds me of the time I was playing scramble golf as a high schooler against 3 players better than me, and my partner was better than them (3 vs 2). We were tied so we kept playing (I’d made a 60 foot putt on hole #6 to keep the ties going) and carrying over skins to the 3rd playoff hole. I told my partner (who put us in position with the drive) that I was going to end it with an eagle (we were all gonna birdie it easy), flipped an 80 yard wedge on to the green, 1 bounce, 2 bounce, in the cup! My friends that lost money weren’t too happy with our shenanigans as we started running around and screaming like we’d just won the US Open instead of $40 each, but I’ll never forget it. I’m not one that makes a habit of predicting that kind of stuff (or at least I wasn’t at that point), so it was pretty awesome.
I predict that the Royals will win the series vs. the ChiSox!

We need Croooow to bet eating his laptop on it.
That seems to be the key to this latest winning stretch.
That homer reminded me of Mitch's homer I saw
a year ago in Spring training against the ChiSox. It was awesome. I don’t know if
Ryan called that one.
