@SethAtkins @anne__rogers Maybe, but it’s possible they just want the extended rest if it’s something that wasn’t improving after a few days.

Kris Bubic felt more sore than normal after his start last week, prompting the #Royals to be cautious and put him on the IL. He’s optimistic it will be a short stint, but he’ll get checked out and go through all the testing.

@h8rproof82 I assume they tried to trade him, but he finished the season on the IL, so that makes a trade tougher. And my guess is KC probably wants more than teams are offering for an oft injured guy.

@h8rproof82 On my way in, I heard split discussions on the radio, and right now, no one screams platoon more than Vinnie.

@AJ97Wildcat Also, BWJ with RISP while Salvy and Vinnie Sub .500 lol. I mean this isn’t rocket science here. I appreciate consistency and comfort but god damn man. For a supposed analytical guru like Q is this just all doesn’t add up daily.

@h8rproof82 Yeah, Salvy is unfortunately a big problem. And having to increase his workload behind the plate doesn’t help.

@AJ97Wildcat Vinnie had a .318 OBP over the last month. He’s been a lot closer to himself recently. Salvy been a far bigger issue.

@h8rproof82 Unfortunately I don’t think there’s any good order if Vinnie doesn’t come around.

@AJ97Wildcat I know what the analytics say but fuck the analytics if you’ve watched this team all year like I have I know Bobby isn’t being best utilized in the 2 hole. I also know they won’t move him out of the 2 hole because they are creatures of habit.

@h8rproof82 I think ideally you want him leading off with the Vinnie and Maikel from last year following him, but unfortunately neither of those two are pacing like that.

@AJ97Wildcat I think you could argue your best hitter should hit third. I’d like to see the difference in AB dropping one spot I’d imagine it’s minimal.

@h8rproof82 I guess I just don’t like having your best hitter lower than 2. For a struggling offense, I don’t like taking ABs away from your top guy.

@AJ97Wildcat I’d rather have Bobby Hitting behind Isbel 9 - Garcia 1 - Jensen 2 who are 3 if our strongest OBP guys and sandwiched between Jensen and Vinnie. He already hits in front of Vinnie and I think it would help Jensen get better pitches.

Even if just the Angels, perfect timing for Roki to go 7.

@Tom7tom1818 @WestfahlRandy @GoChiefsGo1 @royalsclubhouse You’re trying to sugarcoat losses. Good for you. You are correct that this season has probably seen as much parity in the game as we’ve seen in a long time. And KC is still losing around the 1/3 point. That is bad, no matter how you spin it.

Just an embarrassing product on the field this year. This city deserves more than one competitive team every ten years.

@Tom7tom1818 @WestfahlRandy @GoChiefsGo1 @royalsclubhouse Okay great. You have a definition that has prescribed competitive to basically every team in the league. We are roughly 50 games in, and they aren’t winning, so what good is being in the bottom 1/3 of the league? They’re one of the worst competitive teams?

Dodgers are flipping Shohei Ohtani and Emmet Sheehan in the rotation order for this week’s Padres series Monday: Yamamoto Tuesday: Sheehan Wednesday: Ohtani This lines up Ohtani to pitch before Thursday’s off day

@Tom7tom1818 @WestfahlRandy @GoChiefsGo1 @royalsclubhouse Every team has injuries. A competitive team isn’t a cellar dweller. Baseball is inherently a game decided by a run or two every game on average . Right now, every team has a run differential within a run or two. Every team is playing close games now.

@AJ97Wildcat @WestfahlRandy @GoChiefsGo1 @royalsclubhouse Play enough close games and you will win them… competitive is being in every game with a chance to win. Which we are. Our bullpen wasn’t very deep to begin with, injuries have set it back. The offense can’t hit with risp… that’s the differences.

@h8rproof82 Q, or whoever does his analytics, feels like the Pioli hire. Just like the Chiefs didn’t get a guy who really mattered in the Pats dynasty, the Royals probably didn’t really get a difference maker for the Rays’ success.

Quatraro benching his #2 OPS vs his dominant side because of Andre Pallante’s 4FB is certainly an explanation. My god man.

@jboring79 @vikesroyal @h8rproof82 You’re probably right, but this might be Salvy’s last season with the impending lockout, so that might keep Q around longer. But I agree with @h8rproof82 that his team tends to play very meh.

@vikesroyal @h8rproof82 I dunno, when Salvy tweets out that he doesn't need a rest day, you've struck a nerve. That guy is the most joyous guy when it comes to baseball, the team and KC. You piss him off, your days are numbered.

I’m anxious to see how the Quatraro Gurglers and podcasters and bloggers do mental gymnastics around sitting Cags a day after he hits a Nuke with a lifeless offense AND FACING A RIGHTY
