Jose Abreu

Jeez lmao

QUOTE (fathom @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:22 PM) His velocity is WAY down As was Jones'. Weird

The Sands Conundrum?

QUOTE (South Sider @ May 9, 2016 -> 10:09 PM) The tough part is that Rollins is probably a huge part of the different clubhouse atmosphere this year. That kind of stuff can't be quantified, like if he were to get released would that have a drastic effect on the clubhouse? Tough call. Really hope he just starts hitting better. No ones asking for .300... but to not look like a washed up big leaguer would be good. I don't want him released, I just think Saladino deserves more PT

Robertson, good

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:31 PM) Eaton also took a bad route on Odor's triple.... sometimes you dont know what you have (defense) until its gone for a little. Rare to see Eaton not be perfect in RF!

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:29 PM) Looks like Nate's fastball velocity is 4 MPH slower today. Topping out at 95-96... hope his arm is ok

*obligatory post containing 'K'*

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:25 PM) Robertson getting loose. Wouldn't mind a 4-outer.

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:24 PM) I'm not trying to be mean, but its time to start valuing team performance over individual numbers. Win the game, screw the ERA's. I agree, it was just cool to have 3 relievers with such low ERA's

RIP Jones' sub-one ERA after this AB...

Calling for a bunt with 2 strikes was incredibly boneheaded, though.

Now this would have been Melky... :/

FRAZIER IS SUCH A TIMELY HITTER

QUOTE (AustinIllini @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:16 PM) You should NEVER generate an out. If Rollins would have bunted there, the inning is already over. Nope, 2nd and 3rd, one out, and chances are Abreu gets a sac fly

Last year, this would be an IBB with LaRoche on deck

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:11 PM) Saladino instead of Rollins really isn't going to change much IMO, he provides more then Rollins does And he can bunt (topical!)

Don't wanna become a schtick guy, but Saladino is the best bunter on the team...

QUOTE (Green Line @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:07 PM) Let him walk you Yes, please, Abreu with bases loaded and zero outs would be perfect

QUOTE (SouthSideSale @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:02 PM) Royals fans are already giving up lol Link? I enjoy seeing them complain

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 9, 2016 -> 09:03 PM) It is a tough call on what to do. With 2 LH coming up you might want to go with Jennings but if not go with Jones. Stick to what has been working Jennings is a reverse split

Bumped, because I still feel like Saladino would provide very similar hitting and much better defense. Lawrie could bat second.

Albers is just too good

Avisail Garcia has a higher batting average than Brett Lawrie!

After a rough few outings, Duke has been nails this year.
