I thought chemistry was overrated?? Especially from an average player???

You flip-flop more than a woman, dude.

No, moron.

Clubhouse chemistry means everything. It's huge.

Chemistry between a SS/2nd baseman who made a remarkable play means about an ounce more than jack ****ing shit ... especially when you just acquire a fine defensive 2nd baseman with a .800 OPS bat that could replace a guy against RHP that has a .500 OPS bat.

Anything else, you dumb ****ing **** rag?

In other words chemistry is good when you want it to be....got it

I was 100% misinterpreted yesterday.

Infante had a hell of a game ... so dipshits on this board who rollercoaster every ****ing game suddenly made up this "chemistry" garbage between Esky/Infante because they made the defensive play of the year which made me

Zobrist has been a plus defender at 2nd base his entire career. He's also a .800 OPS bat. Infante can't hit RHP this year. He is literally a .500 OPS bat at 2nd base.

Keeping Infante in the lineup every day because he has a "chemistry" with Esky when you have Zobrist is so laughably stupid ... they made a remarkable play and suddenly the band of dipshits can't fathom not having Infante at 2nd base.

Maybe we should just loop that behind the back flip that went into the stands a few times ... I mean ... the rollercoaster morons on this board that treat every ****ing game like game 7 make me want to punch a hole through America

**petegz28** · 07-29-2015, 11:16 AM

I'm guessing benching Omar for Zobrist wouldn't **** with the Clubhouse chemistry but ****ing with Guthrie...well.....

cherry picking, bro is cherry picking

No, not in other words.

I

at the chemistry thing after 1 play ... you think Zobrist would come into the game at 2nd base and get a ground ball and not know how to flip it to Esky at 2nd because they don't have any chemistry?

I mean, I'm sure you probably do think that because you're a mouth breathing ****rag ... but good lord

I assume the Infante love and all of that chemistry talk from last night will be replaced with "omg cut Infante!"

"And tell Ned to stop giving our best players days off"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you take the half-season he pitched for KC in 2012, the last two seasons, and the half-season Guthrie has pitched this year, he has three full seasons worth of work in KC.

In that time, he has pitched 600+ basically league-average innings. He's not a star. He's not a monster. But he's a reliable guy who stays healthy, makes every start, and keeps his team in most games.

There's value in those skills. There's more value in them when you're playing for a great defensive team that can "play up" your skills.

He's been worth the money for KC because of the stability it provides to get that type of innings load from a back-end starter, which helps keep your bullpen fresh.

The hate he gets on here at the slightest wobble is out of proportion.

I've noticed you are unable to have a disagreement with anyone without slinging insults. Please don't ever stop telling us how great you are.
