Well, let me tell ya, folks, there’s been some mighty good baseball played between them Kansas City Royals and them Baltimore Orioles. Now, you know I ain’t no fancy sports analyst, but I do know a thing or two about the game, and I gotta say, this match sure got folks talkin’. It was back on October 2nd, 2024, and the Royals took a win, 2-1, over them Orioles. Ain’t that somethin’?
Now, the game, it wasn’t no quick one. Took ’em about 3 hours and 4 minutes to finish up, and there was a crowd of 38,698 people watchin’ the action. Not too shabby for a Tuesday afternoon, huh?
One of the big moments in that game came when Bobby Witt Jr. got up to bat. That boy’s got some serious skills, I tell ya. He beat out an infield single that drove in the go-ahead run. That’s what got the Royals ahead, and from then on, they just held tight. Them Orioles tried to catch up, but it just weren’t meant to be. The Royals pulled out a 2-1 victory, and that sent ’em into the AL Division Series. Y’all know what that means – more chances for the Royals to show what they’re made of!
But let’s not forget them Orioles. They put up a good fight, but just couldn’t get past the Royals this time. See, them Orioles, they had a pretty good record against the Royals earlier in the season, holdin’ a 4-2 lead over ’em. But that don’t matter now, does it? It’s all about the playoffs, and the Royals showed up ready to play.
Now, if you ask me, I reckon Bobby Witt Jr. was one of the big stars of the day. Folks been sayin’ that he’s one of the best hitters in the game. Some of them fancy projection systems even say he’s the 4th-best hitter when it comes to batting average. I ain’t sure what all them numbers mean, but I do know when Bobby gets his bat on the ball, somethin’ good’s gonna happen.
Now, if we’re talkin’ about the whole series between these two teams, well, it’s been a mix of good and bad for both sides. The Royals might not have had the best record against the Orioles this season, but they’re still kickin’ and ready for what comes next. The Orioles, they’ve got some real talent too – folks like Adley Rutschman and Cedric Mullins sure can hit that ball, but sometimes, the game just don’t go your way.
And let’s not forget about some of them other big names from the past. I been hearin’ stories ’bout George Brett, Bo Jackson, and Frank White. They were some real stars back in their day, and they sure put Kansas City on the map. Ain’t it somethin’ when you think about all them folks that have worn that Royals jersey and done it proud?
As for the Orioles, well, they’ve had their fair share of good players too. Names like Cal Ripken Jr. and Brooks Robinson come to mind. Both teams got a storied history, and it sure makes for an exciting matchup every time they face off.
So, folks, if you missed that game, don’t fret none. There’s always next time. And for them Royals fans, well, keep your chin up – it’s lookin’ like this team’s got somethin’ special cookin’ this postseason. You just never know how far they might go!
