Is there a world where the Royals move a pitcher for the recently optioned Jo Adell???? Singer for Adell? Otherwise, nice to see a well played game yesterday. Let’s get Vinnie up here move along with Santana and O Hearn and move on with this thing now that Witt and Melendez are up. I’ve resided to the fact the royals aren’t competing this year for the playoffs. But still excited for everyone to get up.
I’m a little more nervous about extending Keller. He’s pitching great don’t get me wrong but the first part of last year is still fresh. Which it shouldn’t be anymore but call me gun shy now. Anyway, they are getting to the point where you extend him or move him at maximum value. Knowing they won’t trade him…..Just don’t sign him to “ace” money please.
Finally a game to enjoy. I think it might be a good time to sit Salvy for two or three games. Maybe he needs to just breathe a little. Melendez really looked good. Now I want to see Pratto and Vinny but where do you play them all. I have always loved Isbel but it looks EO hashed passed him for now. Another great article, David.
Yes and no - somewhat guilty as charged. I definitely had that 'here we go again' feeling, BUT with Olivares, Witt and MJ there was also a feeling of 'maybe, just maybe it won't be' anticipation. For my money, there just seems to be a different energy about the club.
With Offense, and yes, that's a big "with", but if we go with what works and stick with the youth movement maybe we will (if we sit Olivares anytime soon there should be a riot at the K), I wouldn't close the book on us potentially contending in our weak division. Between Greinke, Keller and Lynch (they have to be delivering results about as good as any top three in MLB) I think you could conservatively argue we've had the pitching to win one more vs. the Cards, Yankees and Tigers. You could probably say a few more, but being conservative, that's three wins we definitely left on the table. At that point 8-14 is 11-11 and we're in 2d place.
Snider - man this kid is nails - I've been searching DraftKings but can't seem to find any odds for him to win ROY - is he Pena and Witt's biggest competition thus far?
Good work as usual Lesky - I bet you were thinking, "how am I going to write something new if this is does turn out like it always does" lol.
Have we really not made any moves since the trouncing on Wednesday? How about Bubic Optioned, Hearn cut and Vinnie called up for starters? Did I miss something Lesky?

Me sitting down to watch the game: "Dozier is in there because Santana was a late scratch."
"SO YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S A CHANCE!"
Santana went on the 10 day IL and they called up Rivera instead of Pasquantino. Grrrrr....
What can we expect to happen with Melendez when Cam comes back? Do they keep 3 catchers if Melendez is producing?
