Continuing optimism even as we lost badly last night! Words from Worthy that Royals may be thinking not to break up NickySS and Whit2B, to put Mondesi at 3B. Yay! Kowar starting tonight to see if he can pull off a Lynch (much better after first time disaster). Seeing if Junis can be one of the 8 or 9 viable starting pitchers that Dayton says good teams need as depth for when injury or ineffectiveness come (with ability to pay the depth pieces not to much and keep them stashed at Omaha on options unless/until needed or, if they continue to show good, perhaps traded as a more valuable commodity). The fact that the answer to last night's blip of a loss, and the fact that our only above average bats right now seem to be our first three hitters, that we may be able to add as many as FOUR more good hitters (Mondi, Witt, Pratto, and MJ) to our lineup at some point. The fact that Dayton and Matheny seem to be smartly playing our cards during this last month, as the moves with Junis, Kowar, and Mondi show. Please help them make the right decisions. Please let some, or even most, or even all of your promising young pieces blossom.
"I think he’s broken Baseball Savant." Thanks for the LOL, David. Good piece as always. Junis is just another frustration to me. When he is on he is near unhittable, but if not....
Good article. If he can throw harder why don’t we see this?
