caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) Rangers are going to have to think long and hard if they want to trade Profar and Gallo for another starting pitcher. Tough call. As long as they're in 1st place, they won't have the pressure to do so. But the Mariners are giving them a run for their money so far. Yet another injury to the Royals. Brett Eibner had to taken off the field on a stretcher after going after Brad Miller's triple in LF. Jorge Bonifacio or perhaps Hunter Dozier would be the next man up. Left lateral ankle sprain, no knee damage. Edited June 1, 2016 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Not to belabor the point, but the Sox really provided a tonic for what ailed the Royals. 5-1 vs. Chicago already this year. Can you imagine when the Sox visit Kauffman again, which they have to do seven or more times? We'll probably not win a game in Kauffman this year. Somehow the Sox have to become functional, not dysfunctional, vs. KC. I mean just our performance vs. Detroit and KC again this year will be the reason we are not a WC contender.

caulfield12 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 (edited) If someone would have written that Paulo Orlando, Whit Merrifield, Sal Butera, Brett Eibner and Cheslor Cuthbert would be "leading" the Royals into first place as the calendar turned to June, that same sabremetrics person would definitely be counterarguing "regression to mean" catching up to them at some point. Until this year, Butera and Eibner have been more well-known for their "flowing locks" and "popularity with the ladies" than anything they've ever accomplished on the field. In the end, Cain/Hosmer/Perez are the heart of the team now, and the only ones deserving of All-Star consideration despite the likes of Omar Infante and Morales (hitting under .200) being second at their positions in early All-Star balloting for the 2nd consecutive year.

If Profar can seriously play the position (i have my doubts), they probably won't move him. Also, the bigger thing if you're the Rangers is what to do with Prince Fielder. He has that big contract, but that's not a reason to play him if he's bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Byrd is just an addict, either the drugs or the working out, either way he isn't too smart about his juicing.

caulfield12 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Even with Soria being pretty consistently shaky, that Sox series and the one against the Red Sox where they took 2/3 really really rejuvenated their team. The crazy thing is how all these "2000's era Twins' scrubs/Piranhas" keep coming out of nowhere and contributing. They missed really big on Bubba Starling, it's also looking doubtful with Kyle Zimmer due to injuries and they've traded away Manaea, Finnegan, Lamb, Montgomery and Odorizzi from their pitching depth but are still hanging in there. They can beat up on each other for four days in CLE. Should be a really interesting series, Bauer just pitched tonight so it's the top four pitchers for the Indians going.

I think their advance scouts are so good it gives them a big time advantage. They are 5-1 vs. White Sox with this collection of stiffs. It seems their pitchers know exactly how to retire our guys and they know exactly where to play them in case they hit the ball. Meanwhile, they just plain attack our corps of relievers. They did the same to Tampa. I mean it's obvious they own the White Sox and I think it's mostly cause of scouting and playing smart compared to our clownish play.
