Great article by Jeff Passan
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The only way Luke Hochevar was getting a cheer Friday afternoon was if he hobbled off the pitcher's mound, which he did. A line drive hit him flush on the inside of his left ankle. The cacophony of ball meeting bone echoed well into the stands at Kauffman Stadium. "It dropped me like I got shot," Hochevar said, and so as he peeled himself off the ground and limped toward the dugout with assistance, the crowd turned Midwest polite and clapped.

As depressing as some might find this article, I love that Moustakas & Hosmer continue to say the right things, even after a couple frustrating losses. I guess time will tell if a bad season will wear on them, maybe they'll start getting a little annoyed publicly, but hopefully we won't have to worry about that.
And honestly, I think we'll be alright. Not "compete with Detroit" alright, but "we can do this" alright. Continued improvement from everyone on the roster (except that ****head Broxton) and maybe a couple prospects come up & help out, too.
I'm disappointed in the last few games, but still think this can be a fun year.

Teaford threw 70 pitches in 4 scoreless innings, he was going to be our long guy anyway and he's pretty well stretched out now. I bet Teaford takes Hoch's spot until he comes back.

Love me some Teaford. Don't necessarily want Hoch to be out for a long time, but I'd like to see ET get a few starts.

I'm not the world's biggest DM fan, but I think it's a bit too early for this. If it's a disaster, people are just going to blame the youth (or injuries, but mainly youth). I think DM's a pretty decent GM, I just wonder about his love for guys like Yuni & his ability to win trades at the ML level (although the return on the Zack trade looks pretty nice from what I've seen).
