Shame we didn't have ABS, the inning would have ended with Busch walking to get his glove.

This sort of question requires a personal response, I guess. Either you believe in the talent of these hitters or you don't. Nobody can answer that question for you, but personally, I believe in the talent of these hitters.

And suddenly, without warning, it won't be a problem. Baseball is hard.

I mean, it's sort of true. No team is as good or as bad as they look during the highs and lows of a season.

They are supposed to but I've never seen it enforced either, even if a guy leans into one.

The first batter made no attempt to get out of the way of that ball. He let himself get hit. They mentioned he's been hit 11 times this year. Elbow guards let you hang in there.

A sac fly with no outs and the bases loaded is probably at the top of the list.

Suarez hasn't shown that stuff since April.

But you brought O'Hearn into the discussion, right? Okay, back to my little fantasy.

Look man, I know you don't like to be wrong but it's okay. It just proves you are human. You don't have to personally attack me because you got caught in a lie just now.

You might want to go read your hot takes in that thread, they completely debunk your sentence there.

Can only use the data that's available, right? Sorry for late responses, that O'Hearn thread is a friggen hilarious read so I'm busy laughing at all the posts there.

Fuji threw a changeup harder than this guys fastball.

You were vehemently against them getting O'Hearn. O'Hearn turns out to be pretty good after you trash him in that thread, then you allude that the Royals are bad at evaluating because they let O'Hearn go and you somehow think that Selby is going to be the next big miss by them?

You literally said we had no need for him and he's never hit and now you're backtracking and saying the Royals were idiots for giving him up. Classic.

Look at what you said one post up lol.

Exhibit A

Let's not pretend that we all thought O'Hearn was going to be Steve Pearce part 2.

Sure, I guess. Considering the Royals have a bad bullpen and they don't think he can help them might be telling, though.

Tate is somehow worth -0.2 bWAR and Smith is worth 0.4 bWAR.

HIs average fastball was 96.6 last year. It's 94.2 this year.

Westburg never looked truly overmatched at the plate last year. Cowser has....for months now.

Those 3 players would be a ridiculous overpay for Fedde. Just insane, really.

Gunnar's errors come from him having the range to get to balls that a lot of people can't and the inexperience to know when to put the ball in your pocket and not throw it into the stands.

Mateo catfished them into 2B for a lot longer than anyone expected I think. He had a pretty long run going this year.
