Staumont has to be closer going forward. He looks good.
Dare I say Matheny is managing well. Bullpen use has been great. Late game base running substitutions and defensive substitutions have been on point. |

LULZ Nice job covering your bases there. If he fails, you were right. If he succeeds, you were *still* right, it’s just Matheny made the changes you advocated he make. Pathetic post. |

This offense had sucked ass except for two games. Keller is been as bad as he can be. No Mondesi. Young arms aren't up. And we are 5 games over .500.
Feels like a mirage. Need the bats to come alive and stop dicking with using Holland and Wade in close games

It’s almost like being against or supporting someone for president, having high hopes but being cautiously optimistic, and later re-assessing based on job performance and then going on a non-stop rant about how they were the worst president ever. You look good in the beginning and then at the end too. You mean like that? |

But enough of condescending posts, back to baseball now:
Offense HAS been a big disappointment, but there are finally some signs of life from Beni and Soler, two guys that were expected to produce from the get go. And Santana has been red hot for a while, seeing the ball really well. But unfortunately Whit started slumping about the time he got hot. They need more than just 3 guys hitting at a time, and so far this year that’s basically all they’ve had. Different stretches, different hitters, obviously. Bullpen has been better than I thought they would be and the starting pitching is really starting to come around. Little worried about Keller, though. Not inducing the weak ground ball contact like he has in the past. And Matheny has been solid. No complaints. Hell of a start to the year! |

Mathney was actually not that bad in St. Louis. He just had a World Series team that got old and weren't as good as the BFIB thought they were.

So far my concerns have been unwarranted. I thought he managed Bubic, Singer and the bullpen really well last year in the short season and so far he’s done fine with Singer and the bullpen this year (St. Louis Matheny would have sent Singer back out for the 8th today, which would have been a mistake). I’m glad he is proving me wrong and hope he will continue to do so . . . . . . |

Matheny was upfront about the first two when hired by the Royals and said he’d learned from his mistakes. After his first week in 2020 I pretty much was won over and believed him about the first two. Jury’s still out on the discipline piece, but I see no reason to think he’s not at Yost’s level or better. |
