The Royals commit four errors and drop one to Detroit. Plus, they've played the last few games with a short bench, which gives us plenty of roster intrigue. There's also a trade to discuss.
Great article Craig. Just a couple of comments. I absolutely hated that bunt Lopez attempted. I wouldn't have liked it if he had been successful. I just hate giving up outs. We saw how valuable outs are later on when the boys kept giving them away. Rivero is not ever going to cut it at third. He backs up on two many balls plus he is really slow on coming in on slowly hit balls. For the second time in this series a Tiger batter just flat beat out a ground ball to third. I like the trade and I'm expecting our hitting coaches to straighten Waters out. The pitcher sounds like he has some promise. Finally, it was good to see Isbel come back to life last night.
Guy hit .300 last yr and they asked him to bunt. The real question would be if they would have had him bunt with 2 strikes...nobody would have expected that (again)
Hey Craig. I'm definitely looking at Whit's bone bruise with a great deal of skepticism. Maybe Taylor's shoulder pain too. Sure would be convenient if they had to stay behind because of those injuries and not ... something else.
I just subscribed. Not sure why I hadn't before. Great work.
What about the line-up...I admit that MJ in the leadoff is unique but I appreciate that they are willing to think outside the box putting him there. 1-2-3 are fun...like to see Olivares closer to the front.

I like transactional, but I have been wanting for a long time to see them seek quality over quantity. This is another step backward on that.
