So you have no theory on Chisenhall.

If your theory is that Chisenhall has been better handled than Moustakas, I might agree with you.

Moustakas should have been demoted sometime in May, around the time Francoeur was cut loose. You were calling for it 3 weeks into the season, which I still think was too early to make that move. But when it got well into May and his two week surge collapsed into pathetic performance, yes, I think it would have done him some good to be demoted for a while to work through things.

But if you look at what the Indians got from their 3B spot when Chisenhall was down (from Aviles and Reynolds), it's actually worse performance than Chisenhall was giving. So it actually did not help the team to demote him LAST year.

2.5 out?

2.5 out but we suck, we underperform, Ned is shit, Moose and Hoz suck, Glass won't spend and blah blah blah.

Make that 2.0 out, ChiSux is raping ( just raped ) the Tiggers.

2 games out. Wow.

If you want to talk about disappointing, look at Detroit. That team is deteriorating. Not sure that the current cold streak will last, but they are having some real troubles.

Bullpen has not been as improved as anticipated. Cabrera is coming down to earth a little bit (though V Mart is really hot). Kinsler is cooling off. Austin Jackson, Torii Hunter, Alex Avila, all having subpar years. SS a gigantic black hole. Castellanos just "OK."

Still a very beatable team for the Royals. Especially if Verlander continues to be so below par.

No doubt, I have a hunch they will continue to spiral downward for another 40 - 50 games.

Let us pray.

Meanwhile the Rays have the worst record in the MLB by far, Myers is hitting 227 and on the DL and Odorizzi is 2-7 with a 4.85 ERA. :) Trade still looking very good.

Will they be unloading any offensive talent at the deadline?

If we were just .500 within our division, we would be leading by 2 games. We have to take care of our division better.

I don't care because last season clearly was not an indicator of this season in his case. I am just pointing out your comparison is not yet valid or proof of anything in relation to Moustakas.

If anyone wants it, I believe I saw MLB.tv is on sale for half off of the remainder of the season.

Season's over brah.
