The version I saw only had the Detroit TV guys who were surprised that Rasmus was out. I was stunned at their stupidity.

Rex would have known it was a legal play.

Since when is Rasmus fast?

Rex might have known it's a legal play, then again he thinks the moon is a planet.

I guess I'm dumb, why since they tossed to 2nd did they not try and turn a DP to first? Second basement wasn't thinking?

The batter actually ran to first.

Truth.

Pitching staff (and defense, saving runs) is basically carrying the team right now. The starting pitching more than likely will regress a bit at some point, so hopefully offense will get it going before that happens.

ah, I missed that, figured he acted like most and trotted.

for all you baseball junkies out there... I hadn't played a baseball SIM game in a long time... Decided to get Out of the Park Baseball 17....

All I can say is

When you compare him to Tyler White apparently.

Royals RFs have 45 PAs this year and no extra-base hits.

As a fan of another team, it isn't. You're the defending champs and a very good team. Batting average right now isn't a big issue because it's only two weeks into the season. Now at the end of April if it's still like that? Then maybe. I'd take a defensive and pitching team over a team that mashes and has a bad pen like the Tigers. I'm just glad the White Sox have built a solid rotation and pen. Added better infielders and a natural CF. Pitching and defense win championships. You just need timely hitting.

Of which we have basically none this year. We are currently sitting at a smoldering .213 with RISP. Compared to our .300 BABIP and we have just had some really bad luck sequencing so far.

Esky on a record pace!

3. Alcides Escobar comes to the plate.

Jimmy Rollins set the record in 2007 with official 716 at-bats batting leadoff for the Phillies in what you might remember was his MVP year. Now Rollins had 778 total PAs when you add in walks, intentional base-on-balls, sacrifice flies, etc. But what makes Escobar's projected at-bats this year so astounding is that this guy doesn't walk!

He has one so far in 12 games and his career high of 36(!) he set in 2010. Escobar's current OBP of .268 would be the lowest ever for a player with 600+ at-bats, beating his own anemic total from 2015. It seems Ned Yost shows no mercy batting a career .298 OBP at the top of his lineup.
