Went yesterday. The quality of play was really good, so much better than the April games I attended. They are much more fun to watch now. DM/JJ at least have some nice young positional players which happened in like 99 and 2013 for a few years each. Most years since 1985 tho, we struggle to produce homegrown hitters.
Between games Big Vin had a huge crowd at the dugout signing balls. He’s obv already the fan favorite, I’d say more so than Witt Jr is. That was unexpected for me. |

Craig Brown:
I’m going to give the beleaguered Mike Matheny a bit of credit here. Since they’ve arrived, he’s done a nice job making sure the rookies have gotten the most of the time in the lineup. In the eight games since August 2nd: Salvador Perez has made eight starts - five at catcher and three at DH. Bobby Witt Jr has made seven starts - three at third and four at short. MJ Melendez has made seven starts - three at catcher and four in left. Kyle Isbel has made six starts - three in right, two in left and one in center. Nicky Lopez has made seven starts - three at second and four at short. Vinnie Pasquantino has made seven starts - two at first and five at DH. Nick Pratto has made seven starts - five at first and two in left. Michael A. Taylor has made seven starts - all in center. Hunter Dozier has made six starts - five at third and one at first. Michael Massey (recalled 8/3) has made five starts - all at second. Nate Eaton (recalled 8/4) has made four starts - all in right. That’s nine players who are pretty much playing every day, with some rotation to include Massey and Eaton. Only Massey and Taylor are locked into their defensive positions. There’s probably a bit too much time for Dozier, but you’ll notice there haven’t been any starts for Ryan O’Hearn. This isn’t an easy roster to manage, but Matheny seems to have found a solid balance where the players who need to have playing time are getting it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am curious for Duncan's take: would it be worth/feasible for the Royals to take a shot on Roki Sasaki?

I think the answer is 1 million percent, yes. Feasible? I think it would be a really tough pull. Impossible, actually. He's an absolute monster and would translate extremely well to the US. He's outperforming Ohtani at the same age (though obviously not a hitter, too).
