Peralta and his 88 mph fastball getting destroyed. The lack of talent in this organization is insane.

Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Good lord, what idiot scout suggested Vargas could play anywhere on defense?
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
And that each game is one day closer to a new owner
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Hopefully Vargas is just trying too hard, as there is an obvious flaw in his mechanics
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Fair enough and well said. Not giving up on him, just want to see the stuff play up more than it has.

Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Welp, tuned in and saw another Lee out. I’m not even mad, this is amazing.

Flying all over the place today

Pham lighting it up so far with the Cardinals

Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Every once in a while, I remember they won’t pick in the top ten and it makes me laugh

Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
He also had some of the best command of the decade with incredible movement on his sinker. Believe me, I used to get so mad when teams couldn’t hit 88 mph fastballs.

Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Yep, this is beyond pathetic and I’m surprised at how quiet the media is about it.
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Vargas is hitting some screamers!
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Again, what a colossal scouting error

Sox Quote of the Day 7/30...
The only way they could be in a worst spot is if they had a Marshall plane crash situation
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
But with some of the best command in the majors and a dynamite slider.
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Why did they pitch to Salvy with an open base? I know the team sucks, but Pedro is killing their development with his decisions.

Grade Getz’s 1st Trade Deadline!
Wish they would have just kept Kopech if his value was so little, as even though he’s a pain in the butt, maybe he would have had a strong start to next season as the closer and then you get more for him at the deadline.
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
I just don’t get how they scouted him and thought “we need this guy, he’s a great fit for our home park”. One thing that is totally evident is Getz doesn’t put an emphasis on “loud tools”….wonder why
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
You’re seeing that the second time facing him, these teams are reading the change up with ease
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
His command needs significant improvement
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Basically over the last year, they’ve traded the following without getting someone that you can confidently say will be at least an average major leaguer: Cease, Giolito, Lopez, Lynn, Kelly, Bummer, Burger, Santos, Mena, Cease, Fedde, Kopech, Pham, Eloy
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
The headliner of one of the best assets available in the offseason is a number 4-5 starter at best. Why does Getz suck so damn much!
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
Yeah he sucks. What a terrible trade.
-
Royals @ Sox, 7/31, 1:10 PM
That fastball is just not playable. Doesn’t have the great movement you see from most guys that throw that soft.

The Rest of the Season
