chasfh Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Crap Almighty, that Witt should-not-have-been-a-double has got to be the nail in this coffin. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongLiveMaroth Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 57 minutes ago, RatkoVarda said: yep. people made fun of them for (gasp) trying to get better last winter. imagine how completely crazy it is that front offices have to defend their choices to try to improve their teams. OK I'll bite, outside of Seth Lugo the rest of their signings have been lackluster. Wacha 4.45 ERA Smith 7.63 ERA Renfroe .160 AVG .518 OPS Frazier .189 AVG .547 OPS Lugo 1.79 ERA So the signings outside of Lugo have been Baez and Maeda level in terms of performance. The Royals have benefited from Witt playing like an MVP, Salvador Perez finding the fountain of youth and Ragans, Marsh pitching well. They are not doing well because they "improved the team through FA". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sports_Freak Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Will Vest shoulda just gone out to the mound and told Hinch to sit down and shut up. Overmanaging game after game with totally foreseeable results. Oh well, it's good to lower fans expectations. We wouldn't want to disappoint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor City Sonics Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Starting to think the Diamondbacks pitchers were tipping their pitches or something. Total anomaly last weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total anomaly last weekend. the tiger self professed approach to hitting has always seemed to me to be optimized for hitting bad pitching. So you get it and you clean up and struggle the rest of the time. The DBacks pitchers didn't ever have the sense to pitch Baez outside.

SeattleMike Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 1 hour ago, kdog said: I don't think they are...but they can probably hang in the division race because they have two elite hitters right now. I doubt Perez will continue to post a 163 OPS+ the rest of the season. I also doubt they win 90 games. But they are now 13 games over .500 and have positioned themselves well to make a run at a playoff spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 36 year old on the downward part of an average career. Did we expect a .320 hitter with 40 home runs? Or a guy collecting a huge paycheck before sliding into retirement?

Motor City Sonics Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Wow. Season just ended this week. The rest is pointless. Again before Memorial Day. Couldn't even get us to the 4th of July. How many years in a row is this team going to be out of it before the first day of Summer. Yeah, yeah, I know "evaluation" "rebuilding" "young team". Sorry, I'm ****ing sick of it.

So now you have a player losing his cool, a manager showing up said player on the field. This bodes well for clubhouse comity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I'm ****ing sick of it. Out of what? Despite this week, they are still only 2 games out of the final playoff spot. Contending for the division looks unlikely, but there are still more than 100 games to play. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
