I wasn’t planning to post a recap of any sort after yesterday’s loss (crashed early due to time difference adjustment and jet lag). However, this morning, I woke up a little more even-keeled and was about to share a thread on some thoughts about the game on Bluesky.

It was a rough last week on Royals social media, which made it tough for me to be optimistic about this team on the blog (though I did my best to do so while still advocating for necessary changes).
