I don’t want to root for my opinions….But I saw DM quadruple down on Cal talking about how “well” he is doing in the role at the camp yesterday. I will root for my opinions until he is gone. LOL
Joel beat me to the punch on DM's comment on CE. I certainly hope you are right that Eldred is gone and maybe Moore also. I have always been a supporter of Moore, after a statement like he made yesterday I ready for new leadership at the top. When are you you going to starting to look at draft prospects. Great piece as usual.
Greinke Solution-Bubic or Lynch: Greinke can only go 5 innings or 6 innings at most, have Bubic or Lynch finish his game(save the Pen), or start Lynch or Bubic have the other finish his game...nobody is sent down,(save the pen).BW
Related to rooting for your opinions: how many times in the past several years have we all had strong opinions about a particular Royals player or coach, while at the same time hoping desperately to be proven wrong?
Staumont Tuesday night was consistently taking 32 to 40 seconds between pitches. With all that farting around is it any wonder that he walked the first two guys in order to bring Mike Trout to the plate?
Tempo? Rhythm? Whodat? (If only the Royals had someone whose job it is to coach the pitchers and help them correct these kinds of things. If only.)
Staumont got lucky when Trout made a noisy but fairly harmless out. Matheny, to his credit, got him out of there before Ohtani came up and drove in one of the runners who had walked. The next batter drove in the other one to tie the game, just as Staumont deserved.
Staumont certainly seems to be one of the pitchers who will be most affected by the pitch clock next year. And I, for one, can't wait!

That's happened to me a whole bunch of times!
Watching Royals pitchers beat Mike Trout on high fastballs and sliders will never get old.
EDIT: I know this post may not age well.
Frustration: there are no MLB AB's available for Vinnie or Pratto. But by God, we're making sure that Sebastian Rivero gets HIS at-bats.
And let's be honest here, that's the most important thing of all, right?
