Right now this looks like a last place team no matter how many games they are playing.

There will be changes in the tide as the moon waxes and wanes, so will our fate.
 

Static results will not remain so low but instead a wave of fortune will become attained.

Can Leury sit and stay sit

I’m shocked our bench players aren’t getting the job done

When can they promote Madrigal again? Without losing the year of ST

Half the lineup automatic outs feels like 2017 again

They roll over on everything

Anyone have the official timeframe for Madrigal to be called up?

Met Leury at the Season Ticket Holder even prior to SoxFest.  Real nice guy.   But he should never ever have a role in being an everyday player on a ML team.   It's not fair to him.   Same way Sanchez had no business playing everyday for as long as he did.

That happens when you go 0-12 from 4 spots in your lineup....

This sounds like something Robert/Bob Norman Ross would say (the t.v. painter with the crazy hair.)

Now that they suck the answer is 2021.

I’d like to know as well. I thought someone said after 6 games but maybe I’m wrong

Nate Pearson is pitching tomorrow so probably tomorrow.

Kansas City series makes sense or maybe the next home series.

This week at some point.   Blue Jays called up Nate Pearson for tmrw's game.    That's why a lot were questioning why the Royals had Singer starting the first week.

No chance he stays down all season..is it 6 games or does anyone know for sure? 

Will attendance be impacted by this slow start?

Ok. That’s what I thought I heard. 5 or 6 games. They better promote him for this weekend. Tired of seeing Delmonico and Garcia play every game.

-Rick Renteria, probably...

Anyone even remotely connected with that name has been unlucky ever since the terrible Adam Sandler movie...

Now let’s make small whips with a soft brush @caulfield12 and that’s it make those happy little trees come alive.

Hello happy little trees.

Yea that was really bizarre that the Royals started Singer in game 2

PBS still exists in the US?   Just curious...I read a few stories about funding shortfalls or cutbacks, and Sesame Street fans were in an uproar.

Just want to warn everyone banging the Madrigal drum, if soft ground ball contact is annoying you right now from the current bunch, Madrigal is not going to blow you away with the hard contact and the exit velocities.   

This is not Yoan Moncada waiting to be called up. 

Pretty sure Madrigal can ground out like Leury can, but he can do it to more positions than just 2nd base so he’s already an improvement over what we have out there

To be fair...pitching has been 'good enough' to have a shot in a game vs 6th starter Plutko. But, when you have this lineup tonight, you basically can't miss any RISP opportunities at all.

But at least he knows how to situational hit. Something this team is clearly lacking. Also, he plays terrific defense at 2b.
