Royals Rumblings - News for September 14, 2022

Well, the Royals did not get no-hit last night, and that’s something.

Joe Ryan wanted to stay in the game longer:

I definitely wanted to stay in the game,” Ryan said. “I understand why I came out. I don’t think I’ve earned the right to really fight with him too much on that. He’s made some really good decisions this year as far a taking me out at the right time as well.

“I’m never gonna be mad at him for that. Obviously the competitor inside — I want to stay in the game and finish that out.”

In her newsletter, Anne Rogers talked to the Royals about how the rule changes will affect them:

Aaron Judge homered twice to give him 57 on the season, with 20 games remaining.

The Brewers and Corbin Burnes have not discussed an extension.

Poor Brandon Lowe is on the injured list again, at an inopportune time for the Rays as they battle for a Wild Card spot.

Mike Trout did not extend his home run streak to eight, and become the first to do it since Griffey, Jr. But seven is still pretty cool!
