alpha_destroy posted:The Royals offense is not good. But they have 3 shortstops on their infield and that literally won them the game today. It’s helps when you’re playing one of the single most inept offensive teams in modern history. Seriously, there are currently 4 players in the lineup that had trouble hitting in AAA and have starting roles on a major league team. Yu Chang belongs on a major league field as much as I do, Andres Gimenez and Oscar Mercado couldn’t hit water if they fell out of a boat, and Bobby Bradley has so many holes in his swing that he’s nearly an automatic out. Throw in Steven Kwan, who barley logged time in AAA and wasn’t exactly lighting it up in Akron last year and you have the makings of a dreadful offense. The worst thing is they are utterly wasting a generational pitching staff. 5 young, amazing starters getting zero offensive support is a great way to blow their prime years. The front office had the means to sign Schwarber or Conforto or anyone else and simply chose not to, and that’s embarrassing. They knew they had a suspect offense at best and decided to pocket the money instead of actually signing major league talent

Any team other than the Pirates would've shelled Mikolas for 4+ runs instead of just 2 today. Hopefully the Cards offense can keep up the 5+ runs per game the rest of the season with this pitching staff..

Do we have a highlight/gif thread? We should think about having one if we do not. Anyway I'd just be very confused if I were the runner thrown out here. https://twitter.com/MLBPipeline/status/1512927508156411906 e: better play than you realize at first by Salvy too because that throw to the plate is not exactly on target https://twitter.com/CodifyBaseball/status/1512935093446209540 Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 02:28 on Apr 10, 2022 |

The Yankees really needed another starter and they didn't even try to go after Scherzer or Rodon. Just bad stuff.

The ole 45 degree pick. My brother pitched through college and he made *a lot* out of that move. Absolutely a balk, but called very inconsistently.

I completely agree they should have gone after another starter. Especially with Cole being human after not being able to use the sticky stuff. I’m just basking in the moment.

Actually if you're higher on the team going into the year than I am you should be even more upset that they didn't get another starter because that legitimately could be the reason they don't win the division...

As much as I give you poo poo, I do agree with a lot of what you say. I’m just more relaxed about the whole thing. I certainly think they CAN win the division, but they could have made it a lot easier on themselves by actually addressing their needs.

This is wild. Buxton has had 9 hits that increased the Twins win probability by at least 30%. 2 were walkoffs. The Twins are 0-7 after the others. quote:April 9, 2022, vs. Mariners: +45.2% WPA

That prompted me to check in someone else who went from elite to dropped from the rotation around when the sticky stuff crackdown began. quote:Kikuchi hit two batters in the first inning today, prompting a mound visit, but he was mostly fine afterwards. I mean nothing against the guy but that was unexpected.
