Earlier in the season, Hokius and I engaged in this exercise for one of the many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many... ...many, many, many games blown by the bullpen this year. I’ve edited it slightly, but, if you’ve forgotten, here’s Part 1 of our 2019 Mad Libs, now with the title “The Bullpen Blows”.
Today, the Royals jumped out to a (runs) lead in the (number) inning. (Starting pitcher) wasn’t exactly unhittable, but he was good enough to keep them in the game. The surprising Royals offense was led by (insert unlikely offensive hero).
