Escobar has turned into a huge black hole in our line up.

They should just give Alcides a big red plastic kiddie wiffle bat so he could at least put it in play.

I believe Flanagan wrote about them hoping to get him comfortable with using the change more heavily against same-side hitters, a la James Shields. Will be interesting to watch. Vargas doesn't have much upside, but if he can tick his K rate up around league average (6.5-7.0/9) by using the changeup more while still maintaining his other peripherals, He probably bumps the ERA down a quarter of a run and the whip by a few points.

Vargas has been good, but this game as a whole is hard to watch. Just nothing by the Royals on offense.

It is these types of pitchers we would face in the playoffs so our guys better learn to hit them.

Perhaps that would remind our team we're supposed to play offense as well?
