vs. ROYALS, 5/14

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.

That is a really weak defensive OF.

Just realized Joey is in CF. I like him in the OF but not center.

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.

Rex Hudler?

Maybe Buck wants to see if it would be ok to have Joey as Adam's sole backup.
