Any word on Mondesi? He's been in Omaha for rehab, but he's missed a few games.

Dave S strikes me as an unflinching believer in his own stuff. I don't think he adjusts it very well, and I've never found ZIPS predictions to be that accurate.

Well in doing my own research it seems to me that ZiPS is pretty much one of the worst prediction systems out there. It was pretty much last in each year I've looked at.

This is a total aside.
I was feeling nostalgic and was looking for 2014-2015 highlights and realized the Royals Supercut video (1 hour and 37 minutes of pure 2015 Royals highlights) had been taken down from Youtube - as with a lot of other highlight videos from that time due to copyright. I found the creator of the Supercut on reddit, I then found the creator of "Blue October" who had the Blue October 1 AND a Blue October 2 video he made from 2015 that Youtube took down immediately. I now have an over 2 hour video of 2014 AND 2015 highlights and am in the process of adding 2014 World Series highlights and other highlights from that run (mostly defensive) that weren't in the original videos. Anywho, all that is to say that re-watching the 2015 postseason made me realize that Moose actually really struggled on defense in that entire postseason. To the point where I can not remember him struggling to that level at any other time in his career. He couldn't turn double plays in Game 2 or Game 5 against the Stros (potentially costing Cueto a perfect game (seriously) in Game 5). He had a bad error in the ninth inning of Game 1 against the Jays (luckily, unlike the Royals, who could turn any error into a rally like they would the following game, Hoch and our D shut that down), he also couldn't turn a critical double play in the World Series (leading to the only run against Cueto in Game 2) and couldn't make plays on the shift throughout it. Luckily he didn't botch anything in big moments (had the last outs in Game 2 of the ALDS, Game 6 of the ALCS, and Game 4 of the WS), but something interesting to me is that I still see Jays fans on reddit who argue that Ryan Goins may have cost them the ALCS with his misplay in Game 2. It's really a testament to how strong our bullpen, Cueto (in the ALDS and WS) and the rest of our defense was that Moose's entire 2015 defensive postseason struggles have been simply forgotten about today.

Our 2022 schedule has an interesting twist in it. If you look at June our schedule is Houston, Toronto, Baltimore, San Francisco, Oakland, and Angels all in a row. All of our 2014 and 2015 playoff teams.

I'm so glad that Olivares and Witt and Pratto and Isbel are rotting in AAA so that Dyson and Dozier and O'Hearn and Taylor and Davis and Holland and Ervin Santana can keep getting playing time.

Are they manipulating service time or are they dumb, it's one or the other.

Olivares needs to be up. He's too old to be sitting in AAA and we need to know if he's part of the future. I don't think I've ever been more mad about a prospect not getting time than I am with what they're doing with Olivares. He's outplayed everyone that's taking his ABs. Absolutely crushing it in the minors.
During his last 8 game stint, started 6 and he was great 24 ABs/6 hits/3 HRs/.250 BA/.280 OBP/.625 SLG/.905 OPS He was really unlucky too with a .167 BAbip. He also has a rbi single as a pinch hitter in the 11th. Then the next day... Demoted for a bullpen arm. Could have sent down O'Hearn, Dozier, DFA'd Wade or Dyson. Nope send down one of our hottest hitters. ****ing talk about demoralizing. Take all the kids momentum and flush it down the toilet. This is literally unforgivable and this alone should get that mother****ing bible ****ing dimwit DM fired. **** I hate that man. Witt Jr., Pratto, Melendez need to stay as far away from Mike Matheny as possible. That **** stick could absolutely ruin our only hope to contend anytime soon. |

So what in the living **** is going on with Mondesi? It seems to be pretty quiet and he's just still sitting there in Omaha not playing. It's like 4 games in a row now or 5 maybe.
