Or maybe they're just delaying it to build suspense for Ventura's first start!.... Or not...

And WTF is up with Moustakas? I'm expecting the "He sucks" responses, but seriously, how does he have such an amazing spring and can't do crap when the real thing starts? Is it something mechanical (I know they've been messing with his swing), or is it as simple as he's just not a very good player? I'd usually say it's way too early for this kinda thing, but after last year, I don't think it is.

Who's knows? But I'm sure he knows if he has another year like last year, that's probably his last shot with the Royals. How Long can they afford to wait on this guy?? I'm sure It plays with his head a lot.

Giancarlo Stanton blasts 484-foot bomb in MIami yesterday. This is ridiculous:

I'd say if he's still doing terrible by May then he's going to be on the hot seat. Maybe it's all mental issues with him :shrug:

I see some mechanical things with a looped swing on some attempts, over swinging but at times he adjusts and shortens it but he still isn't close on the swing. He still can't hit the down and in pitch which should be his wheel house pitch to turn on as a lefty. He either isn't seeing the ball great or he's a mental midget when the season starts.

I'd go with the latter.

Is it just me, or is everyone crazily frightened of Butler this year? You gotta respect him, but damn, he's not Bonds.

I really feel bad for the dude for saying this because he's a good guy but DAMN we need someone that can get the ball OUT... Consistently. and he's not the guy.

We haven't had a guy like that in about 15 years.

Moose and Escobar are 0-28. Why Valencia didn't start today against a LH is extremely disappointing

Escobar looks absolutely horrendous. Do the Royals even have a backup shortstop at this point?
