Royals (12-18) @ Mariners (16-16) May 1-3, '26...

[Crizilla]

Have to move on from Rivas.
Every move Dan makes with the BP backfires unless Cole Young is carrying the team.
Why do they have 484737 right fielders? Even if they won that game I'm still saying the same shit.

 

[Crizilla]

I keep defending Wilson as a manager. But honestly... when you have a dude who has done some clutch things after being balls.. then hits a HR tonight.. you dont pinch hit HIM

Replace Rivas.. put in wilson after you pinch hit canzone? I dunno... just some odd moves on the PH/PR lately... trying to reach too far too early IMO

Ya I guess I get having Joe hit tonight but starting him at RF when he's listed as a first baseman was dumb. There's 3 other guys who can play right field. So Joe then makes up for his error by hitting a homer but then Dan pulls him. Scott did the same thing. Pulling/sitting hot hitters. I can't stand it. Too many moving pieces.

No, you're not.

You never do.

 

[Chapow]

Hey guess what? Emerson Hancock has been our best SP so far by ERA, WHIP, and opponent batting average against.

So, ya know, that's neat.

How do two managers in a row not grasp "consistency" They are trying to play "money ball" but not letting the money ball hitters stay in the damn lineup or positioning them right in the first place. Maybe DAn needs to start using AI to research tendencies? FFS

 

[Azvacar]

Cal not starting today.. listed as "Day to Day" Anyone know much else other than that? Only listed as "Undisclosed"

 

[Bobblehead]

Says the games delalyed.. anyone know why?

 

[Chapow]

It just seems to me that if you earn a bump up in the lineup, the manager should actually understand that.
Shoot, even if he bumped him up to the 5 or 6, it's SOMETHING. He has more than earned it.
When Donovan comes back, I could see him in the 2 spot.
Cole has the most hits on the team, is flat out clutch, and is on fire. Good managers reward guys for lighting it up.
Stubborn isn't the way to manage a team. So, yeah I have earned the "Dan hater" tag.
And I own it.

Young is in the 5 spot in the lineup tonight.

 

[Bobblehead]

well it's on now...

Spoken and it shall be? lol

But now cal is out undisclosed

 

[Bobblehead]

...and yet he was enshrined into the HOF as a Diamondback.

 

[Chapow]

Good lord, Randy. C'mon man.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Seven innings, 14 K's. What a stud.

 

[Chapow]

That was an elite outing from Hancock tonight. Phenomenal.

 

[Azvacar]

There ya go Randy... things in front hes good.... tracking the ball back no good. What an amazing catch

With who we have in the wings both a RHP and a LHP.. oh man... Castillo is definitely gone..... Emerson... is making a leap like Young is... Miller might not be a longevity option so we can work with our next aces?

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Not looking forward to Munoz. Very little confidence in him right now.
