A Royal-Rollercoaster Ride

from Drop the Ball · host Drop the Ball

This week, we chat the Royals taking the first couple games of the series from Detroit, while Bobby Witt Jr. wore the superman cape with an inside the park home run to electrify the city. They weren't able to take the finale to really step on the throat though, and Matt discusses how this team hasn't shown they can do that when called upon. Michael Wacha has been incredible amongst an up and down season. As they just keep falling short: a dramatic moment, risky error, they keep drowning. We wonder how competitive this team can be if they're struggling against Chicago as well. Because you need to win the games you're supposed to win. Then we of course, end it with america's favorite segment: Drop the Ball!
