I refuse to believe this is the stance and approach at plate that made Holliday the #1 prospect in baseball.  Tell me if I'm wrong.

He just worked a walk?

Hollidya needs to do a case study on the adjustments Bregman made when he came up. I feel like their initial struggles are similar, even if it's LH vs RH

Gunnar so fast. Don’t nap on him!

[Roy Firestone]

We could use a hit here..

Can we please extend Henderson?  I don’t care about anyone else.  He is so fun.

Gunnar’s a great baserunner. That was awesome.

Here's my problem with Holliday: how long do you keep putting him out there while you're also trying to win 100 or so games, especially when an injury-riddled pitching staff and faltering bullpen are putting pressure on the offense to score a lot of runs? 

I am still confident Holliday will be an excellent ML player. I didn't expect him to hit a lot for the first couple of months. But I thought he'd deliver an occasional longball and that he'd get on base some and use his speed to be disruptive and to advance on hits by Gunnar. I didn't think he'd hurt the team to the extent he has, both at bat and in the field. 

One thing that surprises me a little is that, at least to my untrained eye, his approach seems to emphasize guessing and hacking, and it doesn't seem to have changed despite the futility. Maybe it would make sense for him to change something, cut down on his swing, concentrate on laying off high fastballs, I don't know. But something.

As long as you are leading the AL in runs per game, he can't be hurting that much.

But I do think it might be good for him to go down soon.

I hope Gunnar didn't hurt his finger on that slide. Seemed to grimace and kept looking at it.

[SteveA]

I wasn't sure that was a smart move by Gunnar to go for 3rd with two outs.   But it got us a run,

I love watching Gunnar Henderson play baseball. The kid is a true star!

[Mooreisbetter27]

Lolol. Urias killing the Royals 

[Roy Firestone]

Atta boy Urias...we needed it...

[ArtVanDelay]

50/50 that Tate can hold a 5 run lead.
