Royals fans show their support for Danny Duffy after his DUI
August has been brutal for the Royals.
They are 10-17 in the month. A slew of players have been placed on the disabled list, including catcher Salvador Perez and starting pitcher Danny Duffy. The Royals went 45 consecutive innings without scoring a run.
On Tuesday came the news that Duffy had been cited in Overland Park for a DUI. Duffy is a favorite among Royals fans and many took to Twitter to show their support for him.
@duffkc41 Everyone makes mistakes...when you are perfect then you can judge Duffy. Real fans will support you no matter what. #RaisedRoyal

I'm praying for him. I think the scoreless streak/being DL list is affecting him. I can tell in his 610 sports radio interviews..his voice

As a Royal family, we should come together and help him. He is such a great person, but struggling with something. Please don't judge.

Duffy is an asset to KC. Does a lot of good. Mistake made. Everyone is safe. How about we acknolwedge, but show support instead of kicking?
