Semien doesn't even get on base 30% of the time. That's what we need!

 

Saladino's OPS was .674 until he had this good 18 game stretch. It's a fluke, just like he had at the beginning of his career.

 

So that means he's been very valuable the last 18 games, and having a decent season for middle infielder standard, what's your gripe? You have a personal vendetta against him, get over it.

And if we can't fire Hahn and KW, which you suggest we won't, do you want us to just sit on our hands?

 

Yes I do. It's the people under them that are not competent. The same patterns have not changed since this century.

You really think KW or Hahn don't have any control over coaching and scouting, that JR is protecting all of them?

 

 

Btw Greg, did you realize Khris Davis of the A's has almost 40 homers? He's not even a "very good" player going by WAR.

The only thing surprising here is that the blown save can't come from the White Sox.

 

If the Royals avoid Soria, it's possible they avoid the same outcome, just maybe. Abreu should have tried to work Herrera a bit more because they're asking him to go multiple innings, but swung at the first pitch.

Royals pen blew it alright! In epic fashion. Who lets Carlos Sanchez beat them with a 3 run bomb? LOL at the Royals right now

He sucked for 73 games and has been hot for 18. Isn't that roughly how Avi Garcia operates?

 

And look, a .674 OPS is textbook sucking. Out of all qualified second basemen in MLB, that would put him dead last by .025. Out of all SSs, which Sal can't really play, that OPS only puts five below him.

 

When you account for his recently improved OPS, .730, four MLB 2B are below him, and 7 shortstops are.

 

He sucks. We will continue to suck as long we continue to accept players of his caliber, not to mention promoting them into starting jobs.

Sanchez with the bomb. Nice.

Folks, Robin might have saved his job which is scary.

 

The Royals have checked out mentally, evidenced by their complete annihilation by the A's for four consecutive home games this week.

 

Not quiiting, but their fight is gone...like the Sox in mid May.

Completely agree, and that's why the Sox finishing .500 is a possibility- and absolutely won't mean s*** to me.

The Sox had a 100-game stretch this year where they went 40-60. He's done.

Jerry may not allow it. Who knows?

Good post. The magic is gone. Now that their bullpen sucks they have come down to earth. Last year it was automatic with those 3 guys at the end of the pen.
