The bats finally do what they're supposed to do in Colorado. Bubic returns. The Royals put four on the All-Star team. And replay continues to frustrate.
Yeah, I’m not sure the ins and outs of that. I mean, it makes sense to me to be able to protest. But then what’s the remedy other than an apology and a promise to do better? I also think that both home runs were clearly NOT home runs so maybe I’m not the guy to make that call.
I am glad i am not the only one to still be bugged by that egregious review. Between side replay and one i saw from the front, Blancos glove not only bends against the fan, you see him push the fans arms up with the glove. Boggles the mind. Heard Q post game say "the system is broken" and then said on following pregame that he did call and vent, but apparently thats all he gets. Really thought I would see this covered in national media, but no. Can you imagine the uproar if this call went against the yankees? Maybe thats why the commissioners gave Ragans the allstar nod?? (thanks for letting me vent here, my s.o. tired of hearing about it)
I mused they are keeping Pennington undercover for a playoff run, but y, probably the lefty thing. Also dreaming on the 6 man rotation, especially with Brady seemingly better on an extra days rest, keep it up Bubic!
Hope the bats stay hot, concerned the weird days off in upcoming schedule cools them
Yeah, I’m not seeing it either. He’s pitched in both the rotation and relief and has had some success. But not in the last couple of years. Is he fixable? That’s what the Royals have to answer, but they’d probably be buying low at this point.

It doesn’t seem the Royals win that many games when their top pitchers start. That is certainly frustrating.
It can feel like it. Especially when it comes to Ragans.
Here’s the team’s record by starter:
Ragans - 8-11
Lugo - 12-7
Singer - 11-7
Wacha - 7-8
Marsh - 10-6

That’s what this space is for! Vent away. Lord knows I’ve been doing it for about 20 years.
As the neighborhood crank, replay is top of my “most disliked” list.
I keep reading that Kopech is an attractive trade target. Really? He's always getting lit up, yes?
