It's the same with Volquez right now. Last time out against the white sox they were sitting on his fastball after their second time through the lineup and it cost us. He wasn't anywhere near the strike zone with his secondary pitches.

There is a 90% chance of rain Friday evening. We have tickets to the game. Any chance they'd play a double header Saturday to make up the Friday game, if it's postponed?

I wouldn't bank on it since we play another series against the Twins. And there are open dates that match up. Specifically the last Monday of the season, right before we play the Twins those next three days.

Figured. I guess if the game doesn't go. I'll have tickets to get rid of for the make up date.

Since many (Duncan) feel Paulo Orlando is not in the Royals future plans as one of the three starting outfielders, would he be good trade material after the season? He played mostly center field throughout the minors and he seems to be handling it in the majors. If he continues to hit through the rest of the season, you have a decent center fielder batting over .300. Could the Royals get something of value in return? The Royals have Bonificio, Starling, Gore, Burns, Fuentes, and maybe Dozier in the pipeline.

I don't think he is worth much, no. I like Orlando, but he is over 30, with little power that average is unsustainable going forward. I think of him as Angel Pagan, which is fine...but how much is that worth? I get the feeling that Cain is not long for CF and is going to transition to right to save his legs going forward... Orlando looks good out there.

We have a lot of corner OFers but not much in CF. Orlando, Dyson, Burns?

I'm not sure how they view him long term. He's had two great months (May and August) in which he has hit like an All-Star. He's had three months (April, June, July) in which he hit like a 4th OF getting overexposed. The BABIP is not sustainable (over .400 this year), so I don't think he's THIS good. Don't see him having much trade value, as I'd guess most look at him like we look at him: A 4th OF having a good season that is being driven up a decent amount by luck.

possibly, however sometimes I've seen teams refund tickets to the moved game and allow the other ticketholders the doubleheader so they don't have to clear the stadium. Depends on the timing. Since they don't have to travel, they probably would do an early / late split instead of back to back.

Does Strahm have a third pitch? That 95 mph fastball coupled with the slow 77 mph hook looks solid right now, if he had another offering he could start.

I think he's more a switch-hitting Dyson than anything else, though he has not been that good defensively. He's likely not an everyday solution, though he was very, very good in 2015. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That makes me think Oakland got the better end of the Brett Eibner deal? Isn't Eibner projected as a starting corner outfielder in the majors?
