The Royals won game two of four against the Guardians tonight 10-3. At the least they will split the series which pleases me. Naturally I would like to win them all but being realistic, we are better than we've been in a while but we aren't good.

This man on 2nd base in extra inning gives the home team an unfair advantage. Home team starts the bottom of the 10th with a man on 2nd base. Two sacrifice flies and the home team wins.
It's a really stupid rule

The visiting team can score in the same fashion. I'm not a fan of shortening the game either but both teams start extra innings with a man in scoring position. The home team always has a bit of an advantage by knowing what they need to do to win. Doing what it takes to win is the quest.
My dislike of the extra inning rule is that there is always added drama in the extended game. That's the fun part of baseball as a fan is hanging your hopes and fears on every pitch. Changing the rules so that there is potentially less extra innings played just removed the chances of more intense entertainment. I've been cheated out of some of the drama that I have had to PAY to watch.

The Royals lost game three yesterday but won game four this afternoon 6-2. Winning that series at home was good for the team. Losing the series at home would have been a slap in the face. We are a game behind the Twins and now seven games behind the Guardians in the ALC.
At least the Padres didn't sweep the Sox, phew.
The Rangers are playing some pretty good ball right now.
The Royals won tonight. So did the Padres... 👍
And the Red Sox! Go all of us!
Boston wins... San Diego is ahead.... KC stinks. 
It's always a good day when the Red Sox beat the Yankees.
Go Padres and KC isn't the worst team out there.

Padres are still winning. I think they've got this one. KC has improved to the point I seriously root for them. Last year I just made fun of them. They aren't good enough that I expect them to win but they are good enough that there is a chance. Can't ask for more than that from my main team.
uhhhhh... I might be wrong about the Padres winning... sheesh!
I don't think the All Star game uniforms are too bad
MLB unveils 2024 All-Star uniforms, drawing derision from fans

Eeewww, yuck. They look like really bad, possibly rejected, city connect jerseys.
MLB sold out to Nike and this what they ended up with. They look awful.

The worst uniform I have seen are the sand colored uniforms for the Arizona Diamindbacks, They are vomit yellow color
Red Sox beat those damn Yankees again today, took 2 of 3 games to win the series.
That was fun to watch Clem!! The Royals won today to avoid a sweep from the Rockies. It seems that they quite happy to win one game each series. I'm not....
I can't watch Yankee games, they are blacked out for me here in NY.
At least the Royals didn't get swept, hate that!
The Red Sox - Yanks game was the ESPN Sunday night game. I had no idea that they had to honor the blackouts.. Just an additional level of stink on broadcasted sports!
I have streamers only so it's hit or miss what I can access. Sometimes i can watch, sometimes not.
The Royals start a two game series at the Cardinals. Being as they can only win game three of a series, their not being swept record for the year is going down the drain.
