    Just feel like this is a big win to pick up 2 games on the Royals versus the split, especially after winning the first two. Play your best players, regardless of the LHP matchup... and lets get Lewis up..

    We won’t catch Cleveland playing.500 ball the remainder of the season. We most likely don’t catch KC playing.500 ball the remainder of the season. It’s early but today seems like an important game… make up two games on KC or end where we started on Monday.

    Lose tomorrow and it is basically a lost series. Cannot make up ground playing.500 baseball… the way Cleveland is playing they will need to do win these type of series to be a wild card team. It appears Cleveland is the best team in this division.

    My bad... you're correct, 3 WC teams, they would play Seattle in Seattle. Still a lot of work to do, starting with taking 2 of the remaining 3.

    As of now they are not making the playoffs. The pitching staff has been pretty good, the bats are more concerning. You are correct, if they were able to make the playoffs it will probably be as a wildcard team, another starter may not be needed in that series... Howver they are one starter injury away from being in big trouble.

    I would explain it to the level of competition. Texas is not the same team, at least currently, than they were last season. Still 12 wins in a row, regardless of who they were against is not easy. The seven losses took away my increasing optimism . They just don't compete against the Yankees or Guardians, which is an issue if they make the playoffs.
  7. hitterscount
    That’s it right there. You’re one out from at least qualifying for the win. Give him the opportunity. SWR could be a key factor if they have any chance to make the playoffs. Build the confidence!

    I’ve said it many times, been told to crawl back under my rock… Rocco a nice guy, terrible manager.
  9. hitterscount
    Trade for what? This team is flawed beyond repair.
  10. hitterscount
    Careful… Mrs. B will attempt to put you in your place. Seriously this should have happened two years ago. Nice guy, but has zero feel for what’s actually happening on the field or with the team. Analytics have there place, shouldn’t be the answer to everything ,

    I am going to crawl back out from under my rock to give my two cents…. This is really ugly baseball that isn’t conducive to the winning the division or making a wildcard appearance. Yea… but they are playing hard

    Outfield miscues are more of a reflection on the lack of talent than lack of focus, The talent in the outfield is a mess and for many was very predictable. i agree, cowering to the big bad Yankees for two decades is getting really tiring.
  13. hitterscount
    You do realize they have injuries also and are missing their best pitcher?
  14. hitterscount
    Not the type of mentality that produces winning baseball.... looking at the opposing starter and give yourself the loss before even taking the field. The dreaded Yankees have had our number before the Lewis and Stewart injuries.
  15. hitterscount
    It's been years of being pounded by the Yankees, quite frankly the playoffs are meaningless until you pull up the big boy pants and play competitively against them and the top teams in the AL east. This year Baltimore and the NYY. They are like awe struck middle schoolers watching something that is beyond them... It doesn't pay to watch or even follow these series against the big bad Yankees.
  16. hitterscount
    100% agree. Duran is your closer, that should be his role unless you are in must win games.. He's been very good at closing for a year and a half... Plus his future earnings will be effected/determined by saves. At some point you would think he may not be happy in his new role, maybe not...
  17. hitterscount
    That's why you have your best reliever pitch in save situation. I hope when Stewart comes back Duran is used in closer roles. Right now I don't have much of an issue with Duran's usage.

    They Any preseason worries about the starting rotation are quickly fading ... Now keep everyone healthy.
  19. hitterscount
    Whether it's an injury or a slump, Kirloff just isn't consistent enough. It's been 4 weeks since he has done much of anything, whatever the reason it has been a trend since he has been in the big leagues.
  20. hitterscount
    He has the potential to be higher than a mid rotation starter. He might be the key to another playoff appearance. Nice to see him come out to start the 6th with where his pitch count was at.
  21. hitterscount
    Ok Mrs.B! You are the authority on all baseball subjects... I will defer to you and your expansive baseball knowledge from here on out. How dare anyone question Rocco and his decisions regarding pinch hitting, pulling starters and use of the BP.... But yeah... I will go crawl under my rock after the tough guy beat down on a baseball forum
  22. hitterscount
    It makes zero sense... This minor league managing may work in May... Good luck when the season heats up
  23. hitterscount
    Hard to believe a 12 game winning streak from late April thru early May gets you to a tie for second and still 2.5 gmes back. They did what was needed , beating some mediocre to really bad teams. Some good competition coming up, lets play .500 ball, hit or at least drive-in a run with the bases loaded and zero outs, play solid defense. Lewis cannot get back soon enough.
  24. hitterscount
    Didn’t think they had this in them. When Correa and Lewis went down was hoping to hang around.500. They looked like sh** with their plate approaches and weren’t playing fundamental ball. Winning 8 in a row and going over .500, albeit against really bad teams, has them back in the hunt. The schedule stiffens again the next two weeks and will show if this team is for real.
  25. hitterscount
    Absolutely should factor, but not a qualifier to pull after 6 and 84 pitches. He should have have had a short leash for sure
