April 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (kapzk @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 06:10 PM) Yan gomes injured at a play at the plate, needed 2 players to carry him off the field Im going to guess hyperextended/sprained knee...out 2-3 weeks. Could be mcl/acl.....weird angle, Rajai Davis cliipped his foot/ankle sliding in with his foot on the plate. Wonder if they will revisit the Posey Rule yet again?
April 12, 201510 yr Watching the royals, man they're good. I know it's only the first week, but this team is playing like they did in the playoffs and you could argue they're better this year. Like I said , still early, but I remember most experts choosing them to finish 4th, yea that's not happening lol

Like I said , still early, but I remember most experts choosing them to finish 4th, yea that's not happening lol 1) all the young players have more confidence 2) perez, moustakas and escobar all have room to improve offensively on last year 3) rios and morales >>> butler and aoki....mixing in better chemistry-wise, to go with along with omar infante, can mentor sal perez/esky/k.escobar...right now, near perfect mix of youth and veterans 4) medlen hochevar volquez >>> 2014 james shields Edited April 12, 201510 yr by caulfield12
April 12, 201510 yr Tigers already up 3-0 in top of 1st. After Cabrera 2 run HR, Martinez hit in ribs, warnings were issued. Still in the top of the 1st.
April 12, 201510 yr QUOTE (Big Hurtin @ Apr 12, 2015 -> 12:26 PM) Tigers already up 3-0 in top of 1st. After Cabrera 2 run HR, Martinez hit in ribs, warnings were issued. Still in the top of the 1st. 6-1 now lol that line up is so good. At this rate, they won't even need a good bullpen or back end starters lol
April 12, 201510 yr Gomes now out 6-8'weeks....mcl sprain/strain. Not sure if hes undergoing microsurgery or not. Brantley still dealing with back spasms as well...probably debuts tuesday after offday monday.
April 12, 201510 yr I guess we can't feel that bad that we got swept by KC in KC. The Angels are about to get swept at home.
April 13, 201510 yr http://m.mlb.com/news/article/117918374/gr...ssive-6-0-start Detailed story on Ventura/Trout/Pujols incident and the Royals hot start to the season... They might be 9-0 since they've got the 1-5 Twins up next.
April 13, 201510 yr Author Paulo Orlando's first three hits are all triples. That's got be a first....or at least not for a long time.

April 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 04:12 PM) Tigers finally lose! The Royals are the only team left with a zero on either side of the ledger. (hopefully, that changes soon.)
April 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 11:00 PM) JD Martinez. He hasn't skipped a beat. What a pick up for the kitties. Houston could have easily had JD Martinez, Kris Bryant and Carlos Rodon. Instead all they have is Mark Appel.
April 13, 201510 yr Royals buzzsaw continues. Up 12-3 over Minnesota...Gibson vs. Volquez, then Vargas/Milone following an offday Tuesday. Shades of 2006, when the White Sox got off to the great start, then got chased down by the Tigers and Twins (Santana/Liriano)?
April 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 13, 2015 -> 05:02 PM) Houston could have easily had JD Martinez, Kris Bryant and Carlos Rodon. Instead all they have is Mark Appel. JD is doing pretty well batting near Miggy, but I don't think he belongs with those other two. Houston gave him 3 seasons and he didn't really do much with it. Houston has some pretty awesome players and prospects in Springer, Altuve and Singleton. They definitely made some questionable moves and could have been tremendously better.
April 13, 201510 yr BTW, the Twins are now (gasp) 6 games back in the standings after 8 days worth of MLB action. Edited April 13, 201510 yr by caulfield12
April 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 11:05 AM) Alex Rios, fractured hand How did he manage that. Nevermind, that looked painful. Edited April 14, 201510 yr by pettie4sox
April 14, 201510 yr Looks like they'll go with Dyson against RHP and Paulo Orlando against LHP for the moment. Speculation is he'll be out until around the last week of May or first week of June. Indians sign Jhoulys Chacin (Rockies released) and reliever Ryan Webb...DFA Shawn Marcum EDIT: Or the Royals turn Viciedo into another GG winner and outfield assist leader. Edited April 14, 201510 yr by caulfield12
April 16, 201510 yr Scary thought....if Tigers sweep the Sox this wknd, they would be 7.5 games in front of the Sox
April 16, 201510 yr http://www.freep.com/story/sports/mlb/tige...igers/25828469/ Verlander detailed update. Will miss his next start Tuesday (Lobstein filling in).
