This team is going to be beastly once we get everyone up. The dead weight will probably hold us back from being legit playoff contenders most of the year though.

 

To be honest I think the offense might be good enough to compete for a wild card spot. It will be the pitching that holds the team back

Hand it to Big Game James

You have to give Shields credit, after the first 4 batters he has made it look easy.

 

he's throwing the same junk, this royals team just sucks. they are basically the sox of a few years ago. on the wane and with absolutely no patience at the plate.

No kidding. I said to myself, whelp he may not get through 2. Great bounce back

Shields in line for the win. Never thought this would happen after that first inning.

 

Amazingly he has held it together with his 88 mph fastball. But KC's offense is pretty bad.

Stone called it too

 

James made the call to Castillo when walking off the field in the 1st.

lol umpire rung up Engel on strike 2.

Got in his head!!

Yoan looks so much better from the left side.

smoked it, but a hang' whiff'em

Yoan looks so much better from the left side.

Honestly, I think it's because he's a lefty.

OK Stone they aren't paying you to be James Shields' fluffer. The offense put Shields in position to win. Not the other way around.

ok good got through 6, take him out now.

Nice outing from Shields after that first inning.

Tatis Jr who?

Bold predictions today:

 

Shields goes 6+, 2 ER

Davidson goes deep twice

 

Close enough.

Nice predictions flavum.

 

By the way, any body else annoyed with the announcing? I can't put my finger on it, but man it is kinda bad, no?

Tatis Jr who?

 

If we were facing a real offense today he would've been a goner by the 2nd or 3rd inning.

Close enough.

 

Good call

Man Anderson has such a pretty swing.

Nice predictions flavum.

They are trying too hard to make it a sitcom.

I can't find a perfect video of him from the side last year but I'm impressed at how well balanced Davidson's swing looks when you see those HR from the side view. I wonder if there's real improvement on that swing form for him.

Benetti so much better doing college football and basketball when he's not making so many jokes

Walk for Davidson!

from a quick glance it looks like he's quicker to the ball.
