Robbie Ray rakes Royals with relish... GT

[D-train]

No.

But he hung a nearly 1.250 OPS in AAA in 2019 with 27 bombs in just 76 games. Could argue he was a late bloomer who didn't get the respect as a prospect he deserved.

I FAR prefer production without the hype than vice versa like with Trammell. There were a lot of people that though that TT was the key piece of the trade. I did not.

I'll be honest. When the trade went down, my initial reaction was pissed off. I LOVED Nola. And the entire locker room did too. And the ONLY player coming back in the trade that I knew of was Trammell. I was on the fence at first, but it didn't take long for France to win me over. I'm trying to decide which jersey to buy next, France or JRod Show?!

I appreciate you honesty!!

M's on a pace to win 100 games, approximately.

Yep 10-6 = 100-60

Not 162 games this season?

Yes, saying the are pace to win 100 with 2 to spare.

Do you think we could trade JK straight across for Benintendi?

Yes, of course the Royals would take that deal. They wouldn't even have to think very hard about it.

Is everyone ok they didn't pinch run for France in the 10th?

What in the absolute FUCK is with the umps calling balls and strikes this season!?!?!??!

[Sexymarinersfan]

Time for Robo umps!

My Thought at the time was even with a pinch runner a perfectly placed double would be required or two hits would be required. I figured on two hits France would be quick enough to get home and the odds of a perfectly placed double or slim but the odds of him hitting later in the game pretty good

[D-train]

Yep the real head scratcher was not bunting JP over with Toro up. Of course the wild pitch would have then ended the game.

This may be grist for a separate thread, but how do you all feel about the runner on 2B in extra innings? For some reason I thought this was a vestige of last year that we had done away with, so I was surprised to see the runner at second to start extra innings.

Yeah, I guess it speeds the game up a little, but it's a little less exciting.
