It sucks but it happens That's fair....but very frustrating to not at least have Detwiler up earlier in the inning. This is not the Royals World Championship bullpen...lets get this done offense!!

tray Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 We have five games with KC coming up...one tomorrow and 4 at KC with 3 in Minnesota in between. It should be am interesting stretch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxt Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 This all circles back to Cease not being able to get out of the fifth inning...Sorry but when your bull pen has to cover four innings, you lose usually. We keep hearing a lot about how great Cease is going to be.. After five years of the Carlos Rodon experience, I’m not convinced at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted August 29, 2020 Share Posted August 29, 2020 Rosenthal is apparently close to being traded to Padres....so royals bullpen may be short handed today and tomorrow.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After five years of the Carlos Rodon experience, I’m not convinced at all yeah his mechanics are fucking terrible, which is really odd for a guy with such a simple delivery, might be lucky if he has a couple good years ala Gavin Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After five years of the Carlos Rodon experience, I’m not convinced at all Look, saying that Rodon with no minor league time and as a rookie would be a key piece in the 2015 rotation required a GM who was an idiot, but you couldn’t be surprised about Rodon needing some time, most pitchers do. Cease struggled with command but also got out of jams today. He has what, still fewer than 20 big league starts? Play out the season, get him the experience, and then talk to me after a normal ish offseason of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
