Rangers have hung 5 on Kluber and he's done in the 8th.

Rangers are going to have to think long and hard if they want to trade Profar and Gallo for another starting pitcher.

 

Tough call.

 

As long as they're in 1st place, they won't have the pressure to do so. But the Mariners are giving them a run for their money so far.

 

 

 

Yet another injury to the Royals. Brett Eibner had to taken off the field on a stretcher after going after Brad Miller's triple in LF. Jorge Bonifacio or perhaps Hunter Dozier would be the next man up.

 

Left lateral ankle sprain, no knee damage.

Not to belabor the point, but the Sox really provided a tonic for what ailed the Royals. 5-1 vs. Chicago already this year. Can you imagine when the Sox visit Kauffman again, which they have to do seven or more times? We'll probably not win a game in Kauffman this year. Somehow the Sox have to become functional, not dysfunctional, vs. KC. I mean just our performance vs. Detroit and KC again this year will be the reason we are not a WC contender.

That one actually looked bad. Eibner went down.

If someone would have written that Paulo Orlando, Whit Merrifield, Sal Butera, Brett Eibner and Cheslor Cuthbert would be "leading" the Royals into first place as the calendar turned to June, that same sabremetrics person would definitely be counterarguing "regression to mean" catching up to them at some point.

 

Until this year, Butera and Eibner have been more well-known for their "flowing locks" and "popularity with the ladies" than anything they've ever accomplished on the field.

 

In the end, Cain/Hosmer/Perez are the heart of the team now, and the only ones deserving of All-Star consideration despite the likes of Omar Infante and Morales (hitting under .200) being second at their positions in early All-Star balloting for the 2nd consecutive year.

Depends on what they want to do with CF. If Profar can seriously play the position (i have my doubts), they probably won't move him. Also, the bigger thing if you're the Rangers is what to do with Prince Fielder. He has that big contract, but that's not a reason to play him if he's bad.

sounds legit, as others are confirming

Byrd is just an addict, either the drugs or the working out, either way he isn't too smart about his juicing. Of course this is the same guy that still worked with Victor Conte after balco went down

Not confirmed, but also not being denied.

Byrd is just an addict,

 

Addicted to PEDs...LOL

I think it's the working out, similar to bodybuilders. Byrd is ridiculously huge now, he has been busted multiple times. He has no reason to do it

So Byrd should lose an entire season, right?

Rosenthal or Byrd?

Fulmer looks pretty darn good as a young starter for the Tigers

Fulmer no hitter through 6

 

Indians will miss King Felix next week because he hurt himself celebrating. Nice.

He really has no reason not to though. If he weren't on steroids, he wouldn't be on a team. He can just retire anyway when he gets caught. Makes sense to me.

Yep, make the money while you can.

Against the rules. Against the law.

 

It's called stealing.

Eibner to 15 day DL

Peter Moylan back up

Gee to AAA and out of the rotation

Chris Young starting on Sunday against CLE

Reymond Fuentes up as 5th outfielder

Royals sweep the Rays.

Even with Soria being pretty consistently shaky, that Sox series and the one against the Red Sox where they took 2/3 really really rejuvenated their team.

 

The crazy thing is how all these "2000's era Twins' scrubs/Piranhas" keep coming out of nowhere and contributing.

 

They missed really big on Bubba Starling, it's also looking doubtful with Kyle Zimmer due to injuries and they've traded away Manaea, Finnegan, Lamb, Montgomery and Odorizzi from their pitching depth but are still hanging in there.

 

 

They can beat up on each other for four days in CLE. Should be a really interesting series, Bauer just pitched tonight so it's the top four pitchers for the Indians going.

I think their advance scouts are so good it gives them a big time advantage. They are 5-1 vs. White Sox with this collection of stiffs. It seems their pitchers know exactly how to retire our guys and they know exactly where to play them in case they hit the ball. Meanwhile, they just plain attack our corps of relievers. They did the same to Tampa. I mean it's obvious they own the White Sox and I think it's mostly cause of scouting and playing smart compared to our clownish play.
