    Yeah. But if he’s our future Ace I’m fine with it. He seems to have a mental block in the 7th so far this year. Starts throwing and quits pitching and loses the right command.

    I swear his bat is corked, his exit velos make no sense.

    How did that blast from Vinnie not go out? Thought it was an easy HR from the sound.

    What’s crazy is they’re winning while it seems every batter not named Bob or Sal has had at least 1 0-28 skid so far.

    Sween-dog was just foreshadowing for when the Royals actually do play north of Overland Park here in a few years.

    Don’t know why so many teams would only use him as a bullpen arm but I’m glad they did because he seems to have plenty of juice left.

    that and according to the interwebs, he’s thrown 8 different types of pitches this year. Doesn’t exactly scream bullpen to me.

    Was perusing some stats and saw that Bob leads the league in caught stealing, 4 on 13 attempts. He’s actually tied with our old friend Nicky Lopez ……4 on 5 attempts :roll:

    I truly can't comprehend how, at age 33/34, Salvy managed to double his walk rate while simultaneously halving his K%. Insane.

    Vern keeps saying it but Sal and Bob are both legit MVP candidates. Now if the rest of the line up could decide to hit more than 1 week a month. So weird, the rest of em will get hot and go 10-16 in a week then 0-34 the rest of the month.

    If you believe his awful voice is magical throw some money on MJ this weekend. Worked for Vin and Kel I guess.

    Brady’s stuff was dancing but he needs to learn to milk that pitch count better. Get some easy ground outs down in the zone when your ball has that movement.

    Somewhere Rusty Kuntz is grinning ear to ear. A delayed steal leads to the go ahead run. Man Rusty was so good at launching those guys with that one.

    Was smdhing Bob chasing all those balls out of the zone but he quickly reminded me why he’s the most talented player I’ve ever seen in Royal blue.

    No joke. Was planning on going tonight but couldn’t find any good cheap seats. Miss being able to sit 20 feet from Bobby for $40. (Not really, winning is awesome)
