Royals Rumblings - News for June 27, 2022
Anne Rogers writes that Brady Singer had a good start ruined by a tough bounce and a bloop.
If Singer, who made six errors last season (good for a .700 fielding percentage) had let the ball go past him, Merrifield would have made the play in the shift. At worst, the game would have been tied after the seventh; at best, the Royals would have still had the lead. But Singer’s deflection — which was clearly a natural reaction to a comebacker — created “weird spin” on the ball, Merrifield said, and the second baseman couldn’t get to it in time to make a play, putting runners on second and third for Allen.
