Nice to see some wins. Hernandez….man. Feels like he’s about to be sent down. If he gets sent down, Bubic just got sent down, Singer already did this year. Is anything more damning to the pitching coach? Lynch has looked pretty good. Any maybe if we say you were only going to get one good starter out of that group so maybe its normal IDK. But no progress is being made with any of that 18 pitching class but Lynch. Pitching in Colorado has been tough but I’ve been a little disappointed in the staff overall actually. The numbers aren’t great. I thought the pitching would be better than the offense and we’ve had some bright spots but I think they are high 20’s in staff ERA now as well. My fear is that winning 2 out of 3 will make them hold on any coaching changes. You still made it seem like you see it happening.

Appreciate the Taylor love. It's been great seeing his professional approach and the 2-hole spot definitely seemed well-earned.

What are your thoughts on his trade value? His performance so far has to be helping a great deal with it and actually seems like the one example where playing a vet without a long-term future in the org has paid off.

David I surprised that you did not comment on Dozier's real dumb attempt at stealing 3rd base. We know that he does not have front runner speed. It is this type of play that just drives me crazy. I doubt MM called the play, but I may be wrong. Lastly, no reporter asked him about the play.

Just a thing I noticed on my daily trip to Baseball Reference: Andrew Benintendi's .796 OPS is good for a 135 (!!!) OPS+

One-thirty-five.

Hallefreakingllujah! My YEARS of complaining, I'm sure, had nothing to do with it but TB is gone! This is right up there with Aug 2, 1973, Oct 27, 1985 and Nov 1, 2015 as the most important dates in Franchise history!

I am 100% shocked - someone in KC management was held accountable??? Time to play the Lotto! If I am dreaming, please do NOT wake me!
