Rios is much more enjoyable when he gets hits.

Loved Dyson's "eff yeah" in the dugout after congratulating Moose

The Pirates letting us trade Omar for Salvy at 1st base was the best thing they could've done for us that inning. Hit & run and squeeze aren't possible with Salvy on the bases.

at least Ned wasn't too proud to recognize his mistake mid inning, change is a process I guess

it would have been nice to not have used davis tonight. i'd like to see his use conserved a little for the postseason.

Canary · « **Reply #40740 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:33:20 PM »

I thought the same about Davois.

unless someone trades for danks, i think we are going to win the world series

@WC08:

I'm fine with everything about how they handled Ventura. Fine with them sending him down, fine with them bringing him right back. Yesterday I was of the opinion that they should let Blanton go and not send Yordano down, but as we saw, he has value. Having a borderline starter who can come in for 50+ pitches is an asset I think we need for the remainder of the season.

Volquez
Duffy
Young
Guts
Ventura

I'm weirdly fine with this going into August. I think we can be fine with what we have, and upgrade maybe a utility infielder, or a corner outfielder. If we don't upgrade those spots, I'm ok there too.

We're playing so tremendously well its hard to nit pick the roster, and Rios/Dyson/Orlando have shown they can be contributors in Gordon's absense.

Really would like someone who can give Infante or Escobar a day off though.

the royals should get him, just so no one else can.

Colon will surely be back on Sept 1. Until then we're stuck with Dusty...

radio guys said they are looking a utility infielder, a right fielder and a starter. not necessarily all big upgrade guys, just the pieces they are looking for. my guess is they trade for one guy that is supposed to be an upgrade and get the other two cheap or on waivers.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #40746 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:48:53 PM »

I'm not looking for much at middle infielder, just someone who can actually play a major league baseball game without embarrassing Kansas City

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #40747 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:51:00 PM »

Posse stat of the night....

Volquez just been nasty this year w/RISP.
20-110. 4 2B, 0 3B, 0HR.
Fantastic .218 SLUG allowed. 4th best in MLB
.182 Ave allowed is 6th best in MLB

joda · « **Reply #40748 on:** July 22, 2015, 09:57:33 PM »

He's probably going to command more than the Royals should pay for him, but if they can somehow get him cheap I feel like Zobrist would fit well with this team.

What a fun series
