Picollo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe and J.J. spoke a little bit about some of my metrics and how much we think it would have affected my last two seasons. And we\u2019re pretty confident,\u201d Lugo said. \u201cI didn\u2019t do any digging myself, but he gave me some information, some stats, and just from my knowledge, I can think of maybe one hit, a double, that would have been a home run if the fences were in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that\u2019s over 350 or so innings. That\u2019s not bad. So it\u2019s not something that I\u2019m going to have any control over. But like I said, just keep the balls out of the gaps, keep to the big part of the field, or keep it on the ground. That\u2019s our game plan, anyway. So it shouldn\u2019t make much of a difference from what we\u2019re trying to do anyways.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Did you catch that? Lugo can recall one hit that would have been a home run. The Star\u2019s Sam McDowell asked if Lugo actually remembered that specific moment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was in the playoffs,\u201d Lugo said. \u201cStanton\u2019s double off the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees slugger who doubled off Lugo in Game 3 of the 2024 ALDS.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals pitcher Seth Lugo famously has a 10-pitch arsenal, but here is something he would like to change about himself. \u201cHonestly,\u201d Lugo said at Saturday\u2019s Royals Rally, \u201cI wish my memory was a lot worse.
