Alberto and Grifol go too far back. And he basically was the main offensive contributor last game. And they know Burger can't play 3B...and Romy's not long for the big leagues. Which pushes you all the way down to Remillard/Rodriguez/Ramos. This is a time where they definitely could have used Danny Mendick.

+/- Wins +/- RS/RA AL EAST +17 +102 Central -9 -69 West -10 -16 NL East -4 -49 Central +5 +28 West +1 +4

Colas at-bats alone aren't enough to sustain fan interest... or even the joy of watching Robert. (We're basically the Angels minus two true superstars and a massively disappointing Rendon signing.) Grifol alone didn't move the meter very much either... but the game from here on out will be protecting Hahn and Boyer on the marketing side from criticism. A neat trick if you can pull it off.

Meeting with Manfred about reception/reviews of his recently-published book?

At least it wasn't Gore and Dyson? Those were automatic Royals' wins with those historic bullpens.

If Giolito gets knocked out early tmrw (day game memories galore) and with the daunting upcoming schedule, things will get ugly here really fast...

Lol... kiss of death to bring this thread up again in the coming days. But he did look like the most serviceable after Reynaldo.

Soft Serve Core. Except Robert Jr. Knock on wood.

On MLB Gameday it blamed it on him lol. Not watching live.

Scholtens doesn't belong on a big league roster. Shades of Clayton Richard.

Zach Remillard still has a lot of potential. Haha. Maybe we need to drag some more ex Royals middle infielders out of retirement.

He did save one game defensively. But that's just brutal.

At least he's much cheaper than Leury lol.

Sigh. That was ugly.

Why did he need to get to third in that situation?

OMG. Outfield assist? Colas arm pays dividends.

Now it gets interesting with remaining Sox bullpen... Burn Graveman and Bummer too?

Yep. Unless they PR with Sosa or Seby.

Grifol willing to sacrifice G3 to get this one in bag. Gutsy.

Farmer has been clutch recently. Wallner Vasquez Taylor

Cards' Helsely and Duran top two Velo guys right now.

Now who pitches bottom of the 9th?

Heat check on Vaughn's bat speed.

7 fouls and counting
