caulfield12 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Every game you tell yourself the offense can't look much worse, but Thaiss in the 3 hole and this mysterious fascination with Palacios???...doesn't take much convincing to think a Greg775 house bet is in order here. Otog, I guess telling yourself There's maybe just four "questionable" hitters rather than the normal 5-6...but who would Lugo actually fear facinLike this lineup? Who's going to impact the ball?

caulfield12 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) https://www.espn.com/mlb/player/splits/_/id/34873/seth-lugo Robert 0/7 3 k's vs. Lugo nobody with a career OPS over 600 against for that matter...what are the betting odds here again? The Royals, at -220, are the favorites in this matchup, while the White Sox are underdogs at +180. This game carries an over/under of 8.5 runs (over -115; under -105). Over here seems a bit high when both teams are averaging in mid 3s and Sox offense looks to be shut down again. Really have to count on an explosion from KC offense at home.

Tomtom Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I really don’t see them beating KC at all this year. The Royals have had their number for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 At least we are better than Nats' bullpen lol...only surrendered six to the Guardians so far today. Then the CLE pen promptly gave back 4 lol...Smith and Gaddis. Still second game of DH left to go. And we don't have Devin Williams either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) 49 minutes ago, MikeKreevich said: Am I sensing an uneasiness with our beloved new manager? Nope...he has almost nothing to work with. As they said during the Nats/Indians' broadcast today, you can't be a good manager with a bad/horrific bullpen (see Dave Martinez). Also, when your GM refuses to allow one of your hottest hitting prospects to give it a try, it's very demoralizing for the rest of the minor leaguers. Guys like Corey Julks (yes, he would have to be put on the 40 man again) and Tristan Gray really can't do any worse than Amaya or Palacios. Even if they did, you have to maintain the belief that if your play merits it, you'll get your shot in the big leagues eventually.

Once again, our two best pitchers, at least statistically, are Rule 5 picks. Booser, arguably the third best...at least a lively armed LHP, albeit with command/control issues. What can you expect from a bullpen of AAAA/journeymen types...when you don't invest ANY new money there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 (edited) At the rate they're going, Wikelman Gonzalez or Scholtens will be their next starter in the Wilson spot. Unless they convert Vasil, which would be pretty dumb with how comfortably he's pitching as the swing man out of the bullpen...

caulfield12 Posted May 6 Author Share Posted May 6 Burke at 4.63 ERA is about what the consensus was coming into the year...although a lot of saber predictions were in the high 4's and low to mid 5's for ERA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
