Guthrie vs. McAllister
Shields v. Salazar
Vargas v. Masterson.
Chen v. Kluber
I like us to win games 1 3, and 4. Roll Tribe.
Get those glittery wahoos ready, Goon.

Eventually, we are gonna win a Salazar start. Might as well make it versus Shields. KC has not given him much run-supports through the first part of the year.

I'll worry about Salazar/Shields after Zac Mac/ Guthrie...... Guthrie has a way of sticking it to us.

Yep, tonights game is huge. Almost impossible to win a 4 game series when you lose the 1st. Winning tonight shortens the series in a sense. Its still really early, but 4 gamers within the division are always big. You never want to go 1-3 or 0-4 (obviously). Split at worst is how I have always viewed them. Sweeps are really realistic, so 3-1 is kind of what you shoot for, making Game 1's importance even moreso.HitsRus;1607512 wrote:I'll worry about Salazar/Shields after Zac Mac/ Guthrie......

Lonnie hitting 4th tonight. Either a genius move as Lonnie is hot and this will boost his confidence, or an awful choice as he will press and start to suck again.

Checking in. Go Tribe.
McAllister has looked like the ace of the staff thus far. Hopefully he keeps it going.
I am ready for Bauer to take over for Carrasco and see what he can do consistently going every 5th day.

Big, big series.
If Bourn doesn't get his shit together pronto it is time to drop him in this line-up, I don't care what he is making.
Also, where would this team be right now without Brantley and Murphy (who I still think looks like he needs a punch in the face regardless of his production)?
They have 31 of the teams 73 RBI's between them, and are the only regulars batting north of .250 (how pathetic is that).
After hearing for 20 years that KC is close it looks like they are planning on contending this year, so even though it's early this kind of series really matters because with both teams likely to be in the hunt for the WC tie-breakers could loom large in October.

How bad does Bourn need to be before Tito finally makes him take a seat?

Why are Borne and Swisher still next to each other in the lineup?

I didnt. Kipnis and Masterson along with Santana were getting all the accolades.

Brantley is currently on pace for a 34 hr/153 rbi season.
It's early of course, but it gives you a good idea of the level he has been producing at this season.
He's also probably kicking himself for signing a majorly below market value extension.

This teams defense is just pathetic.
They have to lead the league in errors.

Yeah....he's a bargain. I'm not suggesting he will have anywhere near those kind of numbers but he is very consistent at the plate, in the field and as a base runner.....something we don't have in many other players.IggyPride00;1607663 wrote:Brantley is currently on pace for a 34 hr/153 rbi season.
