Just over half the Royals are in town, and they’ve brought some AA and AAA teammates with them.
If you haven’t read Stephanie Apstein’s piece over at SI about their lack of vaccinated players, it’s excellent:
Nearly 40% of the Royals have elected to take four days off this week.

“I think if our team was in a different part of the standings, I think it would be different.”
Yeah. These guys aren’t winning players. https://t.co/jcgK3gcd47
George Springer has opted out of the All Star Game:
George Springer has decided to use the all-star break to rest his elbow, a possibility he hinted at after he was voted onto the all-star team. “I'll cross that bridge once I get to it. Obviously, our team is the most important so I'll make that decision as we get closer.” https://t.co/sGbBo5ebyI

We are glad you are here and hope you feel welcome. As a reminder, we have rules. Mostly it’s “don’t be terrible,” but these days, it’s also, “please debate about baseball and not the coronavirus or vaccines.” If a moderator asks you to stop doing something, please stop. If you want to discuss the rules, don’t do it in the thread. Email Tom instead, he would love to see an email that isn’t offering him money to promote a sports betting site. We also have a BBB Glossary full of GameThread lingo you can find here. And if the Jays taught us anything on Opening Day, it’s that they’re always still in it (so please, no “Game Over” comments until the game is actually over).
