    Urshela also botched it, he ran towards 3rd while Larnach clearly was staying at 3B. I think Sano was running only because Urshela was.

    This is not a sustainable way of winning games... but boy, it's fun to watch other teams self-destruct!
  3. Danchat
    Yeah, Thielbar should have gotten a quicker hook, but this is what happens when you have a bad bullpen.

    Nice to see Kepler mashing - let's hope it's not a mirage.
  5. Danchat
    Ugh.
  6. Danchat
    Hopefully it’s only because a lefty is starting, once he’s done, Arraez should pinch hit. Sano should only be facing LHs until he shows improvement.

    For those who may be interested, I've got my annual draft board going which you can view on Google Forms or you can use my custom Drafting Rankings App where you can view the board and filter it and remove players (nice for making mock drafts). Here's a look at the top of the board:
  8. Danchat
    Cano should be the big addition in a month or two, Smeltzer is probably on the top of the list for a quick mop-up call-up, and Minaya is probably the next man up if they don't think Cano is ready. Gotta hope Moran gets his season back on track.
  9. Danchat
    I think it's pretty clear Arraez is the better 1B right now (since he's a butcher at 3B), so I say we play Luis there against righties and Sano there against lefties. Sano didn't heat up in 2021 until Rocco started platooning him in June, so maybe that could be a last-ditch move to get his season on track. If that doesn't work, it's time to move on and give someone in AAA a shot in his stead - it wouldn't be hard to match his current production at the plate and in the field.

    Dang it, Larnach! Swing the bat!
  11. Danchat
    Nice productive out, now get a hit!
  12. Danchat
    If Cano keeps this up, he should be in the majors maybe within a few months. He’s got the stuff and if his command stays steady, watch out. Just stick Martin in the outfield and be done with it - he’s confirmed the scouting reports, he’s not an infielder.
  13. Danchat
    Probably once he gets his ERA under 5.00! For whatever reason, Rocco has never trusted younger guys closing, so it's who knows when. Kind of an odd thing for a hyper-analytical manager, I know.
  14. Danchat
    Holy cow, I thought Sano swung at that (watching on gameday), that was called?! Another point for the robo umps.
  15. Danchat
    I have to agreed with the rest of you guys, I wouldn't put Jax into a one run game. He's a mop-up reliever at best, until he shows otherwise.
  16. Danchat
    Larnach is only going down if Kirilloff is ready, and that still doesn't solve the problem of Celestino getting any playing time.
  17. Danchat
    I am surprised that Celestino hasn't gotten sent down, since Gordon and Garlick are getting ABs over him. You've got to think a roster move will be coming there soon.
  18. Danchat
    Interesting to see Smeltzer pitching well as of late, with Thorpe going in the opposite direction and getting axed. I wouldn't be surprised if Smeltzer gets called up for mop up work in the near future, when we're back to 26 man rosters.
  19. Danchat
    Absolutely, I rated it an A+ at the time and now it looks like an A+++++ even though Strotman isn't faring so well. You have to remember that the discussion here was that we'd get a bag of balls for Cruz in a trade, and here we are with a stud starting pitcher on the first year of his rookie contract.
  20. Danchat
    It pays to have a strong bullpen full of young studs like the Royals do... yet here we are, still waiting for our pitching prospects to develop while trading or letting go our good relievers.
  21. Danchat
    IMO People need to start aiming their ire towards Falvine rather than Baldelli/hitting coach/3rd base coach/pitching coach.
  22. Danchat
    I think they can DFA Jax, Romero, and Vallimont pretty easily. Stashak too if he continues to look bad the next couple weeks.
  23. Danchat
    Gotta love how our starting pitching has been way better than expected so far, but then the hitting has been mostly atrocious.
  24. Danchat

    Well, I was assuming that when they said he'd be ready in 7 days, he would be... but knowing how our front office works, you're probably right.
