He was out of the inning if Leury makes that catch since the next hitter flew out to Engel. Not even counting Tim's play. You give any MLB team more chances, they'll get most pitchers.

or have fun playing a kid's game.

Catch you tomorrow , bed time , c'mon Sox keep it going .

There was a definite racist tilt to the criticism of Ramirez and I suspect the same with Anderson. It's not a lot different than when black QB's make mental errors.

Came down to KC to attend. Dont disappoint me. I expect davidson to hit 2 more in the first game alone

Marvel just said “you want a dark movie? Here is your f***ing dark movie”

This is the Democrat thread, we don't need your party's official slogan.

Yeah I think the main factor here is a bunch of really frustrated KC guys. Minor transgressions can really get you hot when things are going so badly

I just can't believe anyone thought it was a good idea to have Covey start this game

After watching the Royals for years plunk our players and act like jackasses that's pretty rich getting all butt hurt over Tim pointing to the sky after a homer. Get freaking real. Swear filter needs to be reapplied after the upgrade

Just draft the best guy available and worry about where they fit if/when the time comes. No need to complicate it.

The ball was hit in the air and caught (an out) by the defense. Typically these are hit higher as opposed to a line out, which is when the ball is hit hard and straight but caught (an out)

What an outing for Fulmer. Dude definitely has the biggest stones.

It really is fascinating how one game can make your numbers go from crap to really good. He went from having a .000 average to a .300 average in one game lol.

Benetti so busy chatting he’s barely calling plays.

I think he just needs reps. The tools are obvious. Regardless, it's way too early to move him or even worry about it. I guess people need something to talk about though.

Also, playing twice in a day (called a double-header) isn't something that is scheduled anymore. They used to do it often on weekends, but now they are only done when another game is canceled due to weather and there isn't an extra day to play the game.

He makes mental mistakes fairly consistently. Suggest you lower your expectations. His main plus is that he is fairly athletic. I have not witnessed any improvement in his focus. He still is error-prone.

For the most part, yes. Generally 3-4 of the players only play one game but since the Sox only have a 3 man bench, it'll be 3 different players in the second game.

Sox do not needs OF's. Anderson will play himself off the team in a couple of years or so. His baseball IQ is about 45 if you catch my drift. They need a guy who is steady and can make the routine plays.

Regardless of what any of us think, it's pretty apparent that management plans on Anderson and Moncada being the keystone combo for now, and well into the future. Centerfield is going to belong to Robert, or Basabe, in the event that Robert moves to LF, which would be a waste of his speed. By the time Tim learned how to play the position, the next wave of players would already be on the MLB roster. Therefore, while the idea might have merit, it almost certainly will not become reality.

Future is clearly the Mayor of Kansas City with a weekly podcast hosted by Benetti

Uh no. Tim is fine at SS. Just needs more time at SS. It's a development year and Tim is one of many players developing.

Yeah I will bet against you. There is literally zero chance Anderson is the starting CF come next season.

Welcome to modern fandom where a guy like Matt D goes off again and instead of unabashed love we're begging to trade him. Sad. I prefer to praise Matt for his excellence in Kauffman. This doesn't happen often and we yawn and pray we can trade him. Great to be a fan in the 2018s

What about moving him to catcher? Then he can platoon with Narvaez against lefties and play CF when Engel needs a breather. Course that’s assuming Engel and Rutherford are building blocks and then you have to consider Robert. Maybe Micker leap frogs Eloy and solves the problem. You could always use Yolmer at SS til we sign a FA (maybe Arenado??). Assuming Abreu stops hitting and he’s traded for Archer before the decline you got yourself a pretty good 1-2-3 punch with Kopech coming up and good defense with Rutherford/Call as the super subs. It all hinges on Moncada.

No, it hasn't worked well with Dee Gordon. And Anderson has made some really great plays at SS this year, his issue is the simple ones. It's something he should be able to fix with time.
