Seitzer can't reach Atlantas hitters either. As the old saying goes: can't make chicken salad outta chicken sh*t

Server goes down, and so does Wade Davis. Coincidence?

Glitch in the matrix

**** me, we can't win for losing

The hitting coach at Omaha has apparently received some recognition for his work with Bonifacio and Dozier (helped greatly with Dozier's adjustment after his slump at AAA), so maybe this move was all about getting Starling involved with him all day, every day.

Stranger things have happened. Starling has every single tool you could ask for. Just a matter of hitting enough (and by "enough", I mean being a .250/.260 hitter with the ability to OBP .060-.070 higher) to let his defense, base running, and power carry him.

Best case at this point would seem to be a Mike Cameron type. I'd settle for a Randal Grichuk - someone who can play elite d (but in CF rather than a corner) and run into a mistake every 25 ABs or so and hit it 400 feet.

I would literally settle Starling turning into any major league regular at this point. Even a shit OF utility guy. The guy can't hit a baseball, which you know, is pretty important in this game. I've never had any faith that Starling would amount to shit, though. So this is not real surprising to me.

Anyone know much about Brooks Pounders? 26ks in his last 13 innings of relief at Omaha. New Cyborg?

Hosmer & Perez starters.

That's called "Taking them to pound town."

No surprise here, but Perez and Hosmer officially starting the All-Star Game.

Time for the mystery Chris Young injury. He's done

Kris Medlen threw a 1-1 breaking ball in the 3rd inning, then walked directly off field & left the game, per Mark Nasser. #Royals @milb

Time to think about selling.

James Shields & Greg Holland for Oscar Tavaras?

(I completely forgot the origin of that take).
