So with the current offense and defense on the field, does 18-10 to get to 90 wins feel more or less likely than 8-20 to finish with 80 wins?EastCoastAgNc said:Astros have to go 28-0 to win 100 games

Why the **** would you put that into the universe
Actually it was a 1-2 count (just checked the video), but I think the dude had a huge lead, was off at the crack of the bat, benefitted from the hang time, etc. Just thinking that maybe we should hold the potential winning run a little closer to first base in that situation. It all worked out, but felt for a minute like one swing changed it from a W to an L, on a ball that wasn't exactly scorched.
The Royals have incredible speed on their team. Seems like every guy besides Salvy is a burner
Pasquantino is a big loss for the Royals
and big for the remaining 3 games in this series

I think Jeremy Pena's 5 errors in 10 games and Abreu's morph into Montero (among other things) brought it into the universe. I am just curious where folks think we end up. With the remaining schedule, I am expecting (hoping may be a better word) for the high side of 85, but if these guys continue to lose focus and play like they don't care in more than 1 game each series I could see closer to 80 being a real possibility.Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:txags92 said:So with the current offense and defense on the field, does 18-10 to get to 90 wins feel more or less likely than 8-20 to finish with 80 wins?EastCoastAgNc said:Astros have to go 28-0 to win 100 games

Obligatory "cool story, brah"
I live in DFW and the Ranger "fans" have all but disappeared. Meanwhile I still get multiple "go Stros!" a week when I'm wearing my gear around town. I guess the Arlingtonians finally accepted they are a one-hit wonder and it's time to return to their usual mediocrity.

I'm thinking we go 16-12 to finish 88-74
Damn, that really sucks for him and the Royals. On the travel softball team that I've been coaching, we always call these the emergency room throws because if you throw it bad and to the right, you gonna put your first baseman in the emergency room.EastCoastAgNc said:Vinnie Pasquantino has a broken right thumb, and further tests are scheduled today. He could return in six to eight weeks.

Uno reverso on the hex
Exactly. Pretty much every time I come out negative, they go on a run. Now I probably jinxed that too though.TarponChaser said:Rustys-Beef-o-Reeno said:txags92 said:So with the current offense and defense on the field, does 18-10 to get to 90 wins feel more or less likely than 8-20 to finish with 80 wins?EastCoastAgNc said:Astros have to go 28-0 to win 100 games

That really sucks for Vinnie and KC, but Salvy needs to cool it. Outside of Chas's idiotic play against Seattle last year, the Astros are one of the teams least likely to risk injuries to other players.

Did he insinuate it's our fault??
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.
MAGA

Salvy seems like a great guy for all I've seen and read. Did he comment on it and I just missed it?
No
He was chatting up Yanier as the new pitcher was warming up and it looked as if they were discussing the play and Yanier had this 'What was I supposed to do?' look on his face.
He wasn't chewing him out or anything. Just a discussion where it looked like Salvy was kinda coaching up Yanier and Yanier didn't seem very interested.

What's more impressive, Salvador hitting 48 home runs in a season or Yainer hitting 23 while being stymied by Dusty Baker?Ag_07 said:

Fair enough. Didn't meant to imply Salvy's not an upstanding guy, and I recall us looking at trading for him last year. Just not sure it's his place to give pointers based on an unfortunate but clean play, but I may be wrong.

Yea what I tried to read from his lips he said something about the pitcher trying to catch the ball and he thought that he broke his thumb (I don't know if he was talking about the 1B or pitcher) but then he covered up his mouth. Diaz did respond to him but I forgot what he said. I'm sure they were just chatting it up.
I noticed several of our guys chatting w him throughout the game. Heck, Yordan gave him a hug before stepping into the batters box his first AB.
Ever since we broke out of our early season funk we've been tracking towards 85-87 wins. Still think that's most likely range.
Justin Verlander and Yusei Kikuchi aren’t eligible to receive one. Alex Bregman is (and he will decline it). https://t.co/EhrwSCwtVs

He's a veteran future HOFer who's universally respected. Also a Venezuelan so it's no surprise he chats up a lot of guys. Seems like really good people.
I like Salvy and wish there would've been some way to bring him here a couple years ago.

I hear there is a guy named Jose Abreu that might be available for the royals to consider.
The minor-league pitcher is Double-A right-hander Jacob DeLabio. https://t.co/8iyTXP5wfN

Kyle Tucker has a pretty large guard on his right shin, but it doesn't seem much different than what he wore previously. This is a full live BP — he's taken multiple swings and made contact. Again, hitting has never been Tucker's biggest hurdle. Running and running the bases is.

I mean if he hits HRs running the bases wouldn't matter.
Maybe he'll participate in Kids Run the Bases this weekend.

"Great progress from Tucker… he smoked some 3rd graders in a foot race. Unfortunately he did sleep wrong the next morning so he will be out for the remainder of the year"
Slept wrong on his shin
Penn Murfee is playing light catch. Joe Espada said as of yesterday Murfee was still no-throw.
