Me, someone who isn't a pitcher, watching Bubic throw gas: Let it eat, man. I'd rather have fewer, more-effective innings if that's what it takes.
I think baseball is heading in a direction where innings are going to be spread out among more guys, and (most) pitchers are going to be best utilized at around 100 frames a season, throwing 2 or 3 innings at a time. I'd love to see what the class of 2018 could do and how their stuff could play up under that model.
I noticed that Whit Merrifield also mentioned the warmer temperatures and lack of rain. But That was a game that kept me up way past my bedtime--I was so happy, I just didn't want to go to sleep.
Eddie Murphy did a skit once that went something like, if you haven't eaten in 7 days and someone gives you a Saltine, it'd taste so good you'd be like "what kind of cracker is that, that's the best cracker I ever had, etc." I feel that's where we are with the Royals O - Even stranding another 6000 baserunners feels like we have found our stride.
I loved your tirade two days ago about how the most frustrating part of this O is we aren't even logically making obvious moves to improve it. I don't know if you saw it but M Lamar took one of the points (the Ryan O in the clean-up or even in the lineup) and did a good job of fully airing that one out in the RR. When they actually pulled him for Rivera I almost spilled my beer! Of course, I'm sure ROH will be right there in the lineup again today, because the Royals love to double down, triple down, hell throw ALL chips in on their bad decisions.
Here's hoping that yesterday was the start of a winning streak so we can all feel better - we need it.

My man Rivera coming through. Hope he gets more chances.
Very interested to see who loses their spot when Carlos Santana comes back.
WE WON A BASEBALL GAME!!!!!!!!!!!

The game I decide to not tune into they put up 8 runs and win go figure. Maybe I’ll take a longer break for you guys and just catch your recaps. Lol
