I just think it's a shame they didn't experiment earlier by bringing up Omaha guys and seeing if any of them could stick. I mean beyond Hernandez, Lynch, etc., guys that had never pitched in the Show. Just a thought.
Lugo's start VERY encouraging, as was Singer's. Gonna really need 'em cause offense is now seriously challenged. Need to get BWJ out of Texas, where he is 0-19.
Too bad Valdez already had a no-hitter. If this had been his first attempt perhaps they would've let him
come back out and MAYBE something woulda happened. What a clutch effort by him.
Among the waiver dudes I prefer Grossman: switch-hitter, outfield experience, has some clutch in him.
Vinnie's soul ain't goin' nowhere. IMO he carries this team spiritually.
A designated "hitter" who can't hit at the MLB level? What could go wrong against a great pitcher?
More seriously, I wonder about the vibes in the clubhouse after losing a key piece of the offense and the best guy in the bullpen. I know intangibles can't be measured, but the vibe meter has to be lower than it was a week ago. These three consecutive losses have been real gut punches.

You nailed it. Lofton was the choice. They say Pratto was ill this week. It will be interesting to see who the Royals call up on Sunday
