    Just get someone on base so Springer can tie it up!

    Springer went 1 for 5 tonight. Bring back Grossman.

    I knew he wasn't ready. Needs at least one more season in AAA.

    Small sample size, but when you are the left specialist, you can't afford to walk 5 of the 11 hitters you face. He pitched well last year, so hopefully he can go get things worked out.

    Next step - send Altuve to base running school.

    I might've missed this, but who is taking Harrell's spot in the rotation?

    Right now I have:
    Feldman
    Cosart
    Obie
    ???
    Coochle

    I admittedly haven't been watching too much, but from the box scores, Peacock (who I wanted to start the season in the rotation) has been struggling mightily in the bullpen.

    They announced yesterday that Peacock will take his spot. He pitched last night because Porter wanted him to get some innnings in before he starts Sunday.

    Looking at the Yahoo Sports Box Pre-Game.....

    The entire team near or below the Mendoza Line except Altuve. :(
    Feldman 0.44 ERA :)

    I heard a sports announcer say last game that 66% of our runs scored are on home runs. That is a pretty weird stat. Don't know whether to be happy or sad about it :confused:

    Looks like the Royals are no longer the worst offensive team in the AL.

    It's not just Altuve folks, this team is horrendous on the bases, horrendous. WTF was that by Dominguez

    I don't know how, but in all areas other than pitching, this team has regressed from last year.
