Was it not obvious to Wood that he was not fooling DeShields there on any ****ing pitch? Why not just walk him and battle the next guy? Nope. Instead he'll throw a 90mph fastball straight down the pipe.

This offense deserves to take fastballs to the face from our pitching staff.

Well.. a complete non-effort from the Royals offense yet again.

Putting Mondesi in just says the Royals don't care about 2017. Stop pretending. This is a rebuild.

What a waste of pitching. The other shoe is going to drop soon, and when it does, if the offense isn't better this team could have a really bad two week stretch of winning just a couple games that they would struggle to overcome.

There's zero chance the starting pitching is going to continue to pitch this well. It's just impossible.
That said, there's also zero chance the offense is going to continue to be this bad. They may still end up near the bottom of the rankings, but even at their worst Hosmer and Gordon aren't .500 OPS guys. |

I would not give a shit if we played Mondesi every day if we would have traded Hosmer, Moose, Cain etc before the season. So, as is, yeah I'm pissed.

Alex Gordon has a career .345 OBP. Alcides Escobar is .297. Even last year in Gordo's worst year ever, he was still .020 higher. Yeah. Escobar should be lead off. If Ned has is way dag nab it, he would be. Because we "seem" to win when he's at the lead off. So, you know, he must be better.

I think we are seeing just how important speed and good base stealers was to our winning these types of games the past few years.
