This coaching staff needs a breakup.
@RoyalsFarm: Mike Minor just said postgame that he didn’t expect Castellanos to swing at the pitch he hit the HR on. Said he took a pitch off and, obviously, shouldn’t have. What in the fire Cal Eldred is going on? @RoyalsFarm: Entering tonight’s game, Nick Castellanos had swung at the first pitch in 57.7% of his 339 PA this season. He hit 5 HR swinging at the first pitch of the PA. That is absolutely something a pitcher should know about the opposing team’s best player before the game starts. |

I do not know why any pitcher would throw Alcides Escobar a fastball.
Regardless, it's been fun watching him tear it up with the Nats. Love ya, Esky. |

This is exactly the shit I’m talking about with Matheny and Eldred. Inexcusable that Minor wasn’t prepped with that information and shows Eldred’s laziness and ineffectiveness starkly. (And honestly Grifol’s too, Perez should know that when gameplan ing for the series). Matheny’s pitcher management in the 7th was also garbage. I know Minor’s pitch count was down, but to let Minor go out and face the middle of the lineup a 3rd time was just stupid. Letting him face a second batter after giving up the bomb to Casty was stupid. Letting him not only walk that batter but then walk another before making a move to the pen was stupid. Matheny. Stupid. But coaching/managing doesn’t matter!

@Shauncore: Kumar Rocker, Royals Mocker.
"...they’ll see the player he was more recently (low-90s, living off of pitch execution, fourth starter look) as his floor, with the upside that he returns to (and sustains) peak form as better than their other options" https://twitter.com/fangraphs/status...96000979861508 Wonder what's up with the decreased velocity? |

Hard to say. Poor conditioning? He’s looked off/like he isn’t finishing for a bit now, but you still see flashes. I think Rocker is likely if he’s there but could see them going with a bat, too.

Brady House would be a nice pickup if Rocker isn't there. Witt at SS and House at 3rd would be a nice long term solution on the left side of the infield.

House’s power is excellent. There are some questions about his hit tool but nothing that’s impossible to overcome. I could see Khalil Watson at 7, too, if they go HS bat. Super athletic, could fit in CF pretty easily. There are several teams rumored to be looking for “under slot haircuts” (pay less than slot value to save slot money for later picks) in the top 5/10, so it’s really hard to predict who’s there at 7. Could be that 3-4 of the top 8 players are there. And there are basically 8 guys at the top of this draft without a clear 1-2 at the top, so it adds even more uncertainty.
