Nate hadn't been terrible this year but it's clear this is all a very delicate balance and maybe back-to-back days isn't doable. Not sure how long we can let that be the case

With Tim in the game, Rondon replaces Yoan

Sure but they got to keep all their crappy players who are mostly shitting the bed

Sucks that Joe West threw out our hottest hitter for getting hit by a pitch

Well that was a terrible at bat

He's the only person I could think of and I wasn't sure whether that was a Coop thing or not.

Seems like it's been a while since we've had a guy start using a cutter. For a while most of our young guys were converting curveballs to sliders instead

I believe that's a Coop innovation. New this year

Let's just go ahead and win this

This is clearly a jinx but Herrera has looked great

I was under the impression he did have an option left although I can't recall where I can check that

I'm not sure why I said what I said since striking out would have been one of the better ways he could get out besides a sac fly

Woo!

With Leury's swing and miss issues I'm not in love with this situation

Yay bunting!

Still don't find it encouraging that Yoan felt sick. It's not like there are other reasons for feeling sick after getting hit in the head.

In fairness, if Jay instead of Palka was getting the reps in RF the loss of Avi wouldn't be near as painful

Hey now, we do not like overpaying veteran players who have no long-term future with us

Unpopular opinion I guess, but I'm not upset about using Colome yesterday. Take the wins you've got.

Am I the only one thought the whole thing was going to stop without much incident if it weren't for the Royals coaches jumping in and confronting Tim?

There would be no story here at all if Dale Sveum didn't jump in and cut off Anderson's path to first.

That may be it, but unlike Avi there was never a narrative about Eloy not getting to his power because he wouldn't pull/lift the way there always was with Avi. This feels more like a temporary funk than a guy fighting his natural tendencies.

I think there was a ball that zoomed by him and maybe caught some jersey or something

Would like to see Eloy stop beating the ball into the ground. I feel like I've seen someone do that before but I can't remember who

Don't be hitting it out near Engel
