Glad it's you, and not me.

Going against the guy whom we almost drafted, but we're probably just as happy to have Colon.

Oops. Honestly not too fired up about this mistake because of the nature of "pitching prospects."

Ned may have managed his best game last night in a Royals uniform. Lay off him. Oh, changing the lineup again today? Never mind

Oh, and Escobar will end up a leadoff hitter somewhere down the line

This is a big game. A series win keeps the hype from The All-Star game and keeps the crowds coming to the K. A loss would people closing the door on this year.

Hosmer has looked fixed since the break.

Who is saying this stuff?

I haven't seen any games, but if he's still taking those long looping swings, I doubt he's fixed.

He'll probably be a guy that goes through stretches when he just doesn't hit anything.

His strike zone has clearly expanded again. He doesn't appear to be seeing the ball well.

Hosmer has bought into the Frenchy theory of hitting, guess fastball every pitch and swing as hard as you can

Where's the Dr.? He needs to start today's game thread.

No one. Hosmer was talking about needing the break to reset himself and to come out playing better in the second half.

Not so much so far.

WTF mate? Unban him! The needs of the many overshadow the infractions of the Dr.
