Not even the return of Whit Merrifield, Super Ballplayer was enough for the KC Royals offense on Tuesday night.
Y’all remember when Whit Merrifield languished in Triple-A for two weeks even though nobody in the KC Royals regular lineup save local demigod Lorenzo Cain was producing at anything approaching a big-league level?
Remember when this was a stuptefying position to take?
Well, that won’t be a problem anymore.
Merrifield homered in his second plate appearance of the season, taking Matt Cain on a rawhide joyride, and was the only spark of offense on a lifeless evening that you can’t even begin to blame on the bullpen, don’t you dare, I will hit you.
