Aaron Bummer is very easy to dislike, with the endless walks.

Those walks always kill you.

Would be nice having a lineup where Heim at .791 is the lowest OPS.

Bullpen has been choking like crazy lately 

As I said in a recent game, it seems a high percentage of bad results following a mound visit from Katz

More 2 out right runs………Grifol resign 

It was fun for a few minutes anyway.

Terrible throw. 

Terrible pitch location...hanging breaking ball. 

 

Frazier threw 98 but not accurately. 

96 that time.   Put him in the bullpen. 

I hate watching Bummer more than any other relievers, including Lopez. 

Every pitch he has thrown was up.

Thankfully the guy that's always a crapshoot pitched around a guy....just to throw 8 balls 

 

Fucking clown car 

I just don’t get some of the pitch calling we’ve seen lately. Way too many at bats with 3-4 of the same pitch called consecutively.

Seems that way.  It's crazy.

Can’t wait to hear how much of an idiot he sounds like after this game

We lead baseball in guys who won't quit but would be jobless in any other organizational chart. 

KW Boston Hahn Hostetler etc. 

DFA Bummer. 

Last three at bats…way to make him work

Started with Buddy Bell. He was somehow employed as something important for waaaaaaaay to long of a time. 

Andrus calling TO after two quick outs...instead of two strikes on him. 

Worked out.

More of the Royals' Way lol. 

He's the one who vouched for Mark Teahen coming over. 

I complained about Burger batting too low but he is easily handled by good pitchers that execute. Some of the worst at bats as you can have. 

Well Hahn said today they will most certainly be selling, not buying, based on this comment. Jerry pleased to be dumping salary the last two months, possibly beyond.

Thank you Vinnie Duber for your reporting!

“Making the playoffs is important. But the goals are loftier than that. And when we judge ultimately what happens as we get much closer to Aug. 1 than we are now, how we project our ability to not only win the division but to make an impact in October is going to factor in.”

That leaves you with Banks as your top lefty...with Crochet far from ready at this point. 

Guess it only makes Hahn's contract extensions look worse...so that won't happen after already dumping Diekman. 

Now we get Joe Kelly some work but not yesterday or 15 minutes ago.

Holy cow Grifol could be worse then Bevington.

A far cry from parades, multiple championships and unprecedented financial flexibility.

I just don’t understand these MiLB moves lately. 
 

* You call up Scholtens immediately across the Clevinger injury. But you elect to pitch him in relief twice and now have no real starter for tonight. 
 

* You call up Remillard, who obviously had a career introductory night. But honestly, he wasn’t even the best option in AAA as an infielder (see Nate Mondou).
 

* Then you elect again to go even deeper with AA call-up Jose Rodriguez, in the midst of a poor 0.238 season, even when Lenyn Sosa is having a better season in AAA. Yes, we know his struggles in MLB across 103 at bats so far. But he has a 0.327 BA and 1.015 OPS. Keep giving him chances. 
 

* You call up Nick Padilla, maybe because he’s conveniently on the 40-man (are we scared anyone wants our talent these days?). He is struggling with a 5.09 era in AAA. Why not try 25-yr old Edgar Navarro with a 1.65 era in 21 appearances in AAA?!?

 

 

Every other team is calling up pitchers from AA, why not Mena...
