There are almost 100 games left. This is not a throwaway season. [Reply]
Meanwhile, Bauer got knocked around by the Texas Rangers tonight, so that's how well these pitchers are doing without the sticky stuff. This whole year is going to be one of the weirdest ones in memory if a whole bunch of pitchers fall off in the 2nd half. [Reply]
If Kowar gets sent down I really hope there’s consideration to bring him back by easing him into the pen. Hopefully GMDM can trust Matheny won’t Rosenthal him. [Reply]

Just leave them down the rest of the season. Him and Lynch got rocked bad. Just hope they get it together. [Reply]
Kowar reminds me a lot of a fictional #37, do we have a Crash Davis in the organization to help him with his eyelid breathing, and to help him figure out where the rose goes? [Reply]
He loves playing softball with his daughters, 12-year-old Kinley, 8-year-old Karsyn and 5-year-old Kamden — who is named after Baltimore’s Camden Yards, where Butler hit a career .294.

They’re young, George, and trying. The offense is struggling and you’ve got half a rotation of 2018 draft picks trying to find their way in the Big Leagues.
Cut em some slack and quit being a miserable old SOB in this thread. You’re an awesome guy but getting a little tiresome in the Royals repository.

Your choice to be a fan.
I'm no Fairweather Johnson. But when they suck, I'm not going to sugar coat it. When they play well, we'll congratulate them and be happy. They've been pretty damn awful for the last month or so. Don't be mad at me for pointing out the Emperor has no clothes. [Reply]
