The Royals

[8manpick]

Aaron Crow is an all star and a Kansan. He will find his form for the important (playoff) games

i am a proud Kansan but at least 50 percent or more of us are complete idiots. I can provide data if you want me too...

If it comes down to arms the royals middle relief will kill them. Again crow has got to go-HUD pun intended

Every team in the big leagues would be happy to swap bullpen problems with the Royals.

i mean yeah the back end is great but if a starter has a shitty night it can get out of hand in a hurry with crow and beuno. Fraser being the best viable option is scary, that's all I'm saying.

What you're saying is true, but it's probably the case with basically every team. It's nice to have to search for something to complain about.

If worse comes to worst, I'd like to think that maybe Herrera could handle 2 innings instead of his standard 1.

I high-fived like 37 people after the game that were Rangers fans, they seem to be pretty big #OurTime supporters

This is what it is, Detroit.

(1)  Verlander labored today (to say the least). He's becoming a ghost of what he used to be.

(2)  Tigers dropped a season-worst 3 games behind our Royals.

(3)  Tigers fell behind Mariners for the last WC spot.

(4)  Tiger pitching is terrible.

(5)  Who is Detroit's consistent stopper?

[kim carnes]

the tiger's pitching is not terrible

They know quality when they see it.

Yes it is.

Yes it is.

if you think david price, anibal sanchez, and max scherzer are terrible then you're very dumb

[kim carnes]

also, rick porcello is very good

[Cartierfor3]

I have been "off the grid" as they say. Is Salvy hurt?

Starters were great.  No question about Price and Sherzer.  Anibal isn't going to be back for another week or longer.  When he is, no one knows if he'll be back to top form right away.  Verlander is dogshit.

That's two top starters, one trending downward, one injured, and absolutely no depth afterwards.

Salvy needs days off. I am ok with this. We traded Valencia specifically to rest Salvy down the stretch.

I have some concerns.

[joda]

So how soon is too soon to start planning the World Seriespak?

[mocat]

jmlynch doing a lot of underappreciated things ITT

[Matt Siebrant's Left Hand]

Every team's front end of their bullpen is suspect. Also, they will soon be replaced with Guthrie and Ventrua/Duffy come October.
