It was clutch from Isbel. He’s frustrating because when he fails he looks really bad. But when he succeeds, it’s usually just something solid and steady. Never spectacular. I remain strangely good with him at the bottom of the order.
I knew I misspelled devastating! My spellcheck didn’t catch it and I forgot to go back and figure it out. I’m going to fire my editor.
I was wondering about why the Royals were ahead of the Twins in the standings myself. My best guess was Kansas City comes before Minnesota alphabetically.
Thank you for the shout out to Cueto - the kid earned it and everything you said was correct. Respect is given where respect is earned and Johnny you earned it! And a big thank you to the fans who recognized that!
I couldn't help but appreciate the Lorenzen/Cueto comparison last night as the game went on, I was thinking "is this our new JC?" We shall see!
The story of Lorenzen converting from a position player to a pitcher makes me wonder if the Royals could do the same with Nate Eaton. Last season he threw an inning and looked pretty decent. The smallest of small sample sizes of course but it doesn't appear as if he has a path to the bigs as it is.

Makes sense. Confusing, but makes sense.
I'm sure that's it, but you can still blame Manfred. I won't stop you.
Always blame Manfred.

Great article CB!
Thanks, Coach. I love when parallels can be drawn. Even if it is a bit of a stretch. Still fun to consider.

Yes and with his speed he could be used as a pinch runner
