I can tell already.  This guy is a complete and total washed up bum...and makes us look totally frigging awful.   We are in a definite and horrific slump so it doesn't matter who is pitching.  All the teams pitching staffs have gotten the message.  Off speed, out of the zone, they will chase anything.  And they keep their A lineup, everybody starts.   This is going to be another bad Sunday.

Buck punted this series.  I understand not playing Jones today but his other decisions have been terrible.

I don't know who the Royals' announcers are, but they mentioned Gausman's high ERA and the high BA against him. One said, "That's good for us." The other replied, "That's all you want to know as a hitter. Don't want to get bogged down in all those statistics." 

Interesting approach, especially when applied to Bill James' hometown team.

      Kyle Gibson's Season with the Cardinals

      Nothing directly.  But it's a "Hey, wouldn't this look good in our rotation right now without Means and perhaps Bradish soon," post.

      tv announcers?

      By ChipTait · Posted

      Ben Wagner has to become the #1 radio voice.  He is doing a good job, near as I can tell.   I don't mind when the radio folks need to discuss wxOBA and other ephemera, but for goodness sake it has to come after you have accurately described the play that you can see, but I cannot.  Too many times I've screamed aloud in my vehicle, "Just tell me what happened!" Last summer, I was driving from Atlanta to Baltimore and listening to a Saturday afternoon game, with Geoff & Melanie at the mics.  By the fourth inning I was pulling what's left of my hair out when I remembered, "I'm listening on mlb.tv  I have options!"  I switched to the Braves broadcast, and everything was better.  From the sound quality, to the vocal tones, to the fact they could accurately and simply describe what was happening on the field, the Atlanta team put ours to shame.  Unfortunately, the Braves also won the game.

      He's the same guy. He'll regress a little.  I wanted 2 rotation additions that were both better than Kyle Gibson. We only made 1. Here we are.

      Position Player Depth Chart for 2024 (Updated 6/7/24)

      Hehe.  I'm sure Norby will be going back down soon when Mateo is ready.  I keep wondering about Kjerstad though, as he's a better prospect than Stowers, yet Stowers is getting plenty of play up here.  Stowers seems to be doing fine, and maybe giving Kjerstad full time AB's in AAA is better for him currently? It's interesting.

      Gaylord Perry's overall results were meh as a trade rental, but he beat the Orioles at Memorial Stadium in his first game as a new Yankee that August. He was about a Top 20 MLB starter that season by rWAR. The Orioles swept a series at Yankee Stadium Aug. 8-10 as part of the surge, the Gaylord Perry trade occurred, and Gaylord helped them stop the bleeding during the Aug. 14-18 five game series at Memorial Stadium.      Five 50,000 crowds in five days must have been pretty hopping.

      Yea that’s a good point. Im still skeptical he can handle CF on a full time basis but he is making me look more and more foolish for believing that. Of course, I was going off of many scouting reports saying they doubted he could…but he certainly looks at least capable of being good enough out there, even if he won’t be a GG candidate.
