Jake Junis isn’t that good. Such a shame.
|
This dude is insane. 80 strikeouts in 39 innings. A lot of reliever don't strike out 80 guys in a season. This guy could literally strike out 150 guys as a reliever.
|
This team is so boring to watch. No talent at the plate...
|
At this point, I’m watching to see if Mondesi is able to turn his career around. Outside of that, there’s no incentive to watch.

Seuly Matias currently has a 41.5% strikeout rate. That is god awful. He's the next Joey Gallo.
|
Nice clutch hit for Mondesi
|
The Royals have scored 4 runs. I fear a plague of locusts is next.
|
Is this the first time Duffy has fallen below a 5.00 ERA?
|
Make that 5 runs. End times, my friends, end times.
|
Apparently Nicky Lopez and Khalil Lee have both been promoted.
|
This bullpen is on a little league level.
|
Boy, Tim Hill is really stinking up the joint
|
You knew when he walked Sogard of all people on 5 pitches to lead off the inning it would not end well
|
That’s CLOSER Wily Peralta to you, cowboy
|
Now we have to see if Salvy is out for awhile
|
That's about right. The most inept offense in baseball wins by lighting up the guy who's probably been the most dominant reliever in baseball this year.

Hopefully he took a good look around the clubhouse and took it all in, because that's the last time he should EVER be in a MLB clubhouse.

In Duffy’s last 7 games, he’s 3-1 with a 2.68 ERA over 43.2 innings.
Praying he’s back. |

With Boni back does that mean Herrea to center field? I would like to see that.

However, all of this is moot when you’re repping an ERA around 6 and not making it past the 4th inning. |
I don’t think Duffy is on the move until/unless the Royals are presented with an offer that includes a top 50 prospect for him.
I come back to the Brewers as a good fit for him. He’d carve against NL lineups and offer that team a next level. |

Tend to agree, but if he gets a few more Ws under his belt, do the Brewers decide to make a flags fly forever run? They’ve got the O to play with the best AL clubs and a lights out bullpen. Duffy and Nelson added to their rotation could move it forward. |
I think you're right and the Brewers should go for it, but we'll see if they have the stones to do it. Their bullpen would be lethal in a short series.
We get excited because we have a guy like Moustakas who can hit 30 HR. The Brewers literally have two guys in Thames and Domingo Santana who are 30 HR guys who can't crack their lineup. |
I'd love, love, love the Brewers to pull a 2015 Royals and shell out for Danny and Whit.
|
Angels have a opening at third base now.

They still have time to make that up, but are they going to be willing to trade anyone decent to try and make it up? So many teams are so far back this could be a weird trading deadline. I never would have guessed this, but the A's are the first team out of a WC spot... but even they're 7 back. |
Old friends alert - Minor throwing a no hitter and it was broke up by Eric Hosmer.
|
The 9th inning of the college WS game tonight was pretty nuts. Arkansas was one strike away from winning the whole thing. Oregon State had a runner on 3rd... batter hit a ball into RF foul territory, but it dropped between the infielders and RF. Hitter got another shot and hit a single to tie the game. Next guy hit a home run and now Arkansas is down.

@JeffPassan: @bobfescoe There is nothing more Bob Fescoe than playing ethical watchdog while standing up for the guy who admitted to molesting a 6-year-old girl.
The entirety of your career is poorly done, Bob. You're illogical, you're facile, you're boring and, worst of all, you don't even realize it. |

I actually don't think they're totally out of it, but that's just for the wild card. They're 12 games out of first so any move they make will basically be to try and get into a one game wild card. You still might have better odds dealing with the Braves. The more I think about it, the more I question whether it's even worth it to give up Moose for a low grade prospect. You'd be better off seeing if his market is still depressed and if he's cheap signing him back on. |

Luke Heimlich's brother, the father of the victim, still doesn't speak to him, and the mother of his kid believes her daughter. That's good enough for me.

Fantasy - the Royals have as much money as the Dodgers:
Merrifield Zobrist Cain Hos Moose Salvy Morales Soler Gordo? Bench: Dyson, Orlando Greinke Cueto Duffy Volquez Junis Alexander Soria Holland Herrera Davis I won't be taking questions at this time. |

The stories I was reading basically say that the mother is a bit of a whack job and his brother was going through a divorce with her that was crazy messy and this ended up as part of it because of how bad she wanted custody. Where he felt he had to go to the cops or he'd risk losing his daughter. Also it said that him and his brother don't speak but it was more on Luke's part than the brother as the brother has to talk to the parents about how he is doing. This is all a he said she said thing for the most part other than one thing I will agree with is testimony of a 5 year is only so believable as you can basically lead them into saying anything you want. I'm not even defending the guy or thinking they should sign him as it will cause outrage and all that jazz cause people flip out but the story has a ton of layers to it and isn't just some shut and closed this is what happened type of case. |
Quote:
The assertion five years can easily be led into lies re: sexual abuse is a dangerous and misplaced one, Mecca. There are divorce situations where a child is drilled in some lies for custody leverage reasons, but the counselors who work with children making these types of allegations can separate the planted claims pretty quickly through extra questions. Kids this age just don’t make this stuff up. |
Also the he was 15 thing isn't even true he was 13 and charged at 15..
I can actually show you cases where kids are lead into saying thing's that aren't true. There was a daycare one where something like this was alleged and they had the kids saying things like they took daily plane trips to Mexico and there were magical fairies, you can google this stuff and it does happen a lot. |
Quote:
Kids can be led into saying thugs that aren’t true. They almost without exception can’t be led into lying about sexual abuse and have it hold up when they speak with family services. Especially when the family services intervention and interview with the counselor comes before an interview with police (as it did in this case). My wife was a special victims unit prosecutor for several years. I do work with children’s hospitals and have observed first-hand how hospitals handle these cases and analyzed data on child abuse and sexual child abuse. I’m not just talking out of my ass here. He was 12 or 13 when the abuse first happened while she was 4. It was not reported as an isolated incident but instead something that happened a few times over a few years. She reported it when she was six. |
Duncan, serious question for you. Would you quit being a Royals fan if they sign this guy?

Quote:
I don’t think so. But I would lose a tremendous amount of respect for Dayton Moore, and I would never root for Heimlich, or attend a game he started should he make it to the majors. |
Don't worry I'm sure Dayton Moore thinks it's all porns fault.

You know, maybe he does. It’s incredibly hypocritical for him to be so vocally opposed to pornography and tout how it destroys families and people (despite all evidence being to the contrary) ... while making excuses for a player who plead guilty to a crime that does actually destroy families and people (based on actual evidence). I don’t agree with Moore’s faith-based perspectives, but I have at least been able to respect him in the past despite not sharing an iota of his religious beliefs. That respect would shatter if he went through with signing Heimlich. |
10th round slot value is like $140k.

My daughter had a friend named Marquise Doherty that was drafted by the Royals in the 15th round out of high school a few years ago. He declined and chose to go to Mizzou to try and play two sports, football and baseball. Unfortunately for him, he showed up the year before the whole CS1950 thing went down, ended up leaving Mizzou, and went off to some JUCO somewhere, and I have heard nothing of him since. Hindsight being what it is, he really should have taken that offer and worked his way up. As good of a football player as he was (and he really was), he was an even better baseball player. Ah, what might have been for him. Super great kid, too.
|
I was wrong about Tyreek Hill when they drafted him as I said I would never cheer for him. The thing is when he catches a deep ball and scores a TD I do cheer. Then He takes his helmet off on sideline and there is that happy go lucky smile. I think to myself that kid punched and choked his pregnant girlfriend. I just cant fathom that and how you get so pissed.
Nah I dont see at all how Dayton could possibly sign him and remain in KC running a family type organization. |
