Hopefully Shields can stop this little two game losing streak. Last season there was no end in sight to a losing streak but this season we have legitimate stoppers.

Bubba Starling turning it around in Class A
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

Royals outfield prospect Bubba Starling is beginning to turn it around after a horrid start to the season for Class A Lexington. While Starling is batting just .195 through 24 games, he's hitting .321 (9 for 28) in his last seven games.

Starling homered for the second straight game Monday and has three home runs in his last seven appearances. He also has 10 RBI in his last nine games. Starling, who was the fifth overall pick in the 2011 draft, is considered a top 100 prospect by MLB.com (No. 26) and Baseball America (No. 35).

Come on Bubba!

Better than throwing Hoch or Chen.

Giavotella is playing pretty good in Omaha, Getz isn't hitting for crap in KC.

he exhausted all his powers with that home run in Atlanta

You think Shields might crap his pants staring down his former teammates?

This type of game is why we traded for Shields. The hitters are playing like crap, and they need a stopper that can hold a team to 1 or 2 runs to let the hitters get their feet under them.

That being said, I think it's time to move Alex Gordon into the 3 hole. The leadoff guy cannot lead the team in RBIs throughout the season.

Jonathan Sanchez, DFA'd by the Pirates, the last two seasons: 1-12, 8.73 ERA, and per-9-IP avgs of 12.3 H, 2.1 HR, and 7.0 walks.

yeah for some reason they let him pitch again last night and he served up a homerun to our very own Yuniesky Betancourt...who is having a MONSTER year for the Brewers.

I thought this was interesting, before the season began ZiPS ran their projection as usual, and I'm sure everyone saw them, but last night they re-ran them to see how everyone's playoff odds have changed.

Here's how the AL Central looks, first number is the preseason projection, 2nd number is the odds as of this morning, third number is the change.

DET 65.1% 81.2% +16.1%
KC 22.6% 28.0% +5.4%
CLE 24.5% 9.5% -15.0%
CWS 23.7% 9.5% -14.2%
MIN 2.4% 1.5% -0.9%

Implied odds of the AL Central receiving at least one wild card:

38.3% 29.7% -8.6%

Moving on up.

Have you guys seen the forecast for the rest of the week? It's supposed to start raining tomorrow night, rain all day Thursday and maybe SNOW on Friday. Great....just great.
