I'm asking because I don't recall, but when is the last time Salvy has thrown out a runner?

Welp. I'm out.

DAMMIT. Salvy playing to far away again

That'll do it boys... this team simply can't score 5 runs off of Cy Cy Rodriguez...

bye

Long ****ing time.

And that's game. I'm sure everyone's right. I'm sure the Twins will regress. We'll be 8 back and settled into the chase for the 2nd WC by the time that happens.

The Royals have scored 5 runs how many times in the last 2 weeks?

good question....

Has bringing the infield in ever actually worked?
I mean, I guess I assume it has at least once in history...but I don't recall ever seeing it actually happen.

It's not Salvy tonight. Volquez is ****ing lazy keeping runners in check.

It's possible. But remember we were 8 games back in late July last year. That's not what you want to strive for but the standings can change wildly from month to month even. Most of the teams in 1st place at this point last year didn't even make the playoffs.

It's not a bunch of homer-ish rah rah stuff. Baseball is a 162 game season and you are going to go through every possible up and down most likely, even if you're a good team. This could be the beginning of a slide that ends with us in 4th place. It could be a blip on a 1st place season. We simply don't know.

They are getting like 4 to 5 steps before he even throws the damn ball

I think this is 7/9? I'll give it this weekend. If we get swept by the Rangers, gonna have to have a closed meeting. All the "oh it's just a slump" people can continue saying it. I don't really care.
