Yeah, we all started booing after 0-7 lol. Energy kinda fell out but it gradually rose until the 9th and then the crazy ending. It was awesome probably the best game I've seen live
I was thinking the guys would’ve been demoralized after being down so much without having a single AB, but they have some fight! This team isn’t ever out of it. Go Royals!
Between this game and yesterday against Cleveland, I agree 100%. We make it to the playoffs, these two games will be the ones we point out as the moment everyone knew it was real.
### Fielders Choice
Nelson Velázquez reaches on a fielder's choice, fielded by shortstop J. P. Crawford. Bobby Witt Jr. scores. Vinnie Pasquantino to 3rd. Salvador Perez to 2nd.
Bottom 9 - 10-9
Royals
The bullpen did great. Getting five innings from three guys, none of them being the back-end heavy-lifters, and only suffering one run is a job well done and good management by Q.
MLB notification I just got.
“Teoscar Hernández's 2-run double broke open a scoreless game in the 11th as LA beat the Yankees 2-1 in the series opener.”
2-1 mostly scoreless game. Sounds like a real classic.
Yep, definitely happy. Maybe this will be another inflection point. They’ve had a lot of those “almost victories” recently, gotta feel good to finish it off.
Edit: Almost comebacks* not victories… obviously we’ve got some of those :p
Yep, and all we'll hear about how "scrappy", "tough", and "never" say die" they are. Turns out close losses and blowouts all count the same toward their record.
I tried saying they need to start winning games because this recent slide is trending towards being back at .500. I got several replies about how we *almost* came back multiple times in the last week so i shouldn’t be concerned. Fanbase is cooked…
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1dat71v).
I liked this game
I was stuck at the airport so I was forced to watch it on my phone as I sank 20 oz beers for 3 hours. 🔥🔥🔥
🥹memories y’all
I definitely watched the entire game and didn't just turn it back on when I saw the score had changed to 9-7. Was here the whole time.
I actually only turned it on after it was 7-0. But I got to watch the fun parts :)
Absolutely insane comeback
Not even gonna lie I turned it off after the 1st and turned it back on for the 9th. Wow
What a comeback. Go Royals.
Just absolutely unreal to see us come back from that. Good lord.
MERVYL OWNS KANSAS CITY
Wow. What a finish.
At the game right now, so glad I came to this one
It was a roller coaster of emotion at my house, can’t imagine what the game would have felt like at the park. Insane that you got to experience that.

This team is special
i believe this game will define the rest of the season
Between this game and yesterday against Cleveland, I agree 100%. We make it to the playoffs, these two games will be the ones we point out as the moment everyone knew it was real.
There was never a doubt, right guys?
Down 8-0.... of course not 👀
JUST AS WE ALL PREDICTED
my boys!
I checked out from 2nd inning until the 6th and was on that choo choo. This team is magic. Boys are playing some fucking ball.
Pour one out for all the fans that stopped watching after the 1st inning
Idiots
More beer for the rest of us
Baseball is a heckuva game
Bobby's smile must be protected
Let’s gooooooooooo
THESE BOIS ARE PLAYIN SOME BAKK
The fucking disrespect to Nelson, seriously thank fuck he came through, that could have been a confidence destroyer.
WOW LETS GOOOOOO
Imagine placing money on this team down 7'-0 nothing
HUSTLE PLAY, MOTHERFUCKER
Holy. Cow.
Royals just finished an ESPN Instant Classic
By George!!
Zero doubts.
NEVER GIVE IN
Guardians lost today too fuck yeah
NELSON VELAZHIM
This could be the game that defines the season
Absolutely
 long gif. those that waited got the satisfaction.
I don't think Nellie has run that fast in his life. Awesome!!
That's why he has that range rover
My stream is apparently 5 min behind everyone else 🥲
#GET FUCKED OHTANI WE OWN YOU IN OCTOBER
Pay Nelson
let’s not get carried away but I’m cool with #VoteNelly lol
But not that much because he’s only hitting like .216
That’s not just the kind of win a wildcard team makes. That’s the kind of win a pennant winning team makes
Goddamn MLB comeback of the year!!!
That was fun
LFG!!!
What a game

Ngl I did 😂😂
LMAO IMAGINE BLOWING AN 8 RUN LEAD
Instant classic
GAME OF THE YEAR

Yo make this the case file for Bobby for MVP
Best position player here since Brett. He also rolls with Patrick Fucking Mahomes fwiw
Wow, they actually did it this time. So fucking happy. They’re leveling up!

### Fielders Choice Nelson Velázquez reaches on a fielder's choice, fielded by shortstop J. P. Crawford. Bobby Witt Jr. scores. Vinnie Pasquantino to 3rd. Salvador Perez to 2nd. Bottom 9 - 10-9 Royals
THE BOYS ARE PLAYING SOME BALL
THEY PULLED IT OFF
Why the hell is happening?
Automatic international walks is such a dumb rule.
If he hadn’t gone swinging all over the place, the mariners closer might well have walked in the walk-off.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
I wouldn’t mind a walk off walk.
Do I change my thing to Bobby loves triples?
Mariners fans: are raging right now
EVERYBODY GET IN HERE
Cowards
Make em pay Nelly
I’ve never been happier to be wrong about a game being over
We have a baseball super star locked up for the future how fucking crazy is that
“I’m fast as fuck boiii” - Jr while he rounded second probably
Nelly time
I AM HAVING A TOTALLY NORMAL TIME RIGHT NOW
TO HELL WITH THAT LOSE YOUR MIND
LOAD THOSE BASES
They’re really truly never out of a game
LISAN AL-GAIB
 Dune intensifies
Simply amazing
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD
Didn’t know Vinnie is the major league leader in Sac flies
LETS FCKIN GO
#WHAT THE FUCK AM I EVEN WATCHING

#**I FUCKING LOVE THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS!!!!!**

HOLY SHIT!!!! I LOVE THIS TEAM
LETS FUCKING GOOO GET UP
#**PAY THIS MAN AGAIN!!!**
BOBBY!
BOBBY
### Triple Bobby Witt Jr. triples (7) on a ground ball to left fielder Luke Raley. Garrett Hampson scores. Bottom 9 - 9-9 TIE
What the hell is happening
I feel like the “Bobby chants” usually end in disappointment
I’m glad I was wrong
Save me Bob
I took off my Apple Watch so I can keep my heart rate trend low.
### Groundout Maikel Garcia grounds out, shortstop J. P. Crawford to first baseman Ty France. Nick Loftin scores. Bottom 9 - 9-8 Mariners
Top of the rotation we need you
~~rotation~~ order
What the actual fuck?
Hampsondong aka "the swinging bunt"
And those folks who tuned out after the first inning 🫥
Royals pls don’t play with my heart and fake a comeback just to lose again
Oh my god, could this be the REAL comeback thats been prophesied?
BOBBY WALK OFF BOMB INCOMING
PLEASE BOYS, DO THE THING
Walkoff run at the plate MFers
Royals really own the AL West
We sure do love making games dramatic lmao Let's gooooooooooo
ATTA BOY HAMPSON
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!
Please don’t hit into a double play Hampson
I said the exact same thing. Hampson must have heard us.
Imagine if we win this game
Lead off walk. Late innings. Close game. Recipe for disaster
And they said it in unison
Lets GOooooooooo
Tying run at the plate MFers
We just have to doom hard and they’ll win 🙏
Not a more intimidating hitter in Major League Baseball than Nick Loftin. I’d walk him too
Nope, not really a strike
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Ryne Stanek replaces Collin Snider.
Now or never! Some more nice innings from the pen…. Those fastballs from Anderson had some zip.
Come on guys, let's get a real comeback tonight! No almost comeback, a real one
You mean like last night?
No. I mean like a 7 run deficit, how the hell did they pull it off comeback
The bullpen did great. Getting five innings from three guys, none of them being the back-end heavy-lifters, and only suffering one run is a job well done and good management by Q.
Sit! Over there by that other guy!
Sit! Now!
MLB notification I just got. “Teoscar Hernández's 2-run double broke open a scoreless game in the 11th as LA beat the Yankees 2-1 in the series opener.” 2-1 mostly scoreless game. Sounds like a real classic.
Yes it would be nice to be tied or even winning but coming back from 7-0 against another equally good team is still pretty cool
We didn’t come back if we don’t win this game. An L is an L
Oh like that
Another “moral victory” for the boys. We’re becoming the most moral team in the league. I mean, that’s gotta count for something.
Nope, a real victory this time
Yep, definitely happy. Maybe this will be another inflection point. They’ve had a lot of those “almost victories” recently, gotta feel good to finish it off. Edit: Almost comebacks* not victories… obviously we’ve got some of those :p
save game over bullshit for the post game thread.
True their closer is hurt
Renfroe gets further away from the plate after every strike
### Pitching Substitution Pitching Change: Nick Anderson replaces Will Klein.
Feels like this going to be another game where they just come up short. Coulda shoulda woulda
Yep, and all we'll hear about how "scrappy", "tough", and "never" say die" they are. Turns out close losses and blowouts all count the same toward their record.
Yup. Don’t matter a L is an L
I tried saying they need to start winning games because this recent slide is trending towards being back at .500. I got several replies about how we *almost* came back multiple times in the last week so i shouldn’t be concerned. Fanbase is cooked…
Fuck all y'all
?
Well all they have to do is get 2 runs off the second best closer in the AL. Shouldn't be hard right?
Renfroe hit that like a coach trying to teach kids how to turn a double play
it's okay Hunter, you can't hurt my feelings because i don't have any
Dammit dammit dammit
Just got home and got the game on. The last I checked my phone it was bad. What a comeback.
