Unforgivable at-bat by Adrianza.

 

Way to go Buck. Now let's keep the line moving. Time for an ambush.

Unfortunately, all it takes is one batter to not be on board with working the count and you get an inning ending double-play on the first pitch.

 

This is what happens when guys struggle, they get antsy and start swinging at the first pitch they think they can hit.

Kennedy has to be another trade candidate later this month, I would think.

 

Maybe. But when 40 out of 30 teams make the playoffs, is there going to be that much of a trade market? The only teams definitely selling are the teams that definitely have no one.

And do you even buy now? Knowing that - possibly - the season could collapse at any moment?

 

I wouldn't part with any special prospects for a chance in 2020. Just my opinion.

I'd say there's probably few years where a team would be more confident they'll be in the postseason than this one. There'll be only a month left, and there will be 8 playoff spots available. There won't be many teams that figure they're out of it--KC might be one by then--but there will be teams looking to buy.

Camus's conclusion wasn't wrong though

That good pitching beats good hitting and vice versa? AKA, the Philosophy of the Absurd?

I agree. I focused on sellers, but who the hell are the buyers? Knowing that you - as the best team in the league - have a 35-40% chance of losing 2 games in the very first of the 19 rounds of playoffs they now have, why bother trading?

 

With expanded playoffs, it's a race to mediocrity. The "winner" is whoever gets streaky at exactly the right time. If that overlaps with the best team, it'll be totally accidental.

Who would want him, now? :)

I know Garver and Sano need reps to get back on track, but they've done enough damage being inept at the plate, is it worth penciling them into the lineup? Or could they not be in the 1-5 spots on the lineup?
