How likely is it that Josh Smith makes the All Star Team this year?

Why was Gray pulled after only 72 pitches? Were they starting to barrel more balls?

Fourth time through the order coming up. The odds are really against the pitcher when guys get to see so many of his pitches.


According to the Gamecast the Royals are still 4 batters away from the 4th time through the order, and that's after Latz has thrown a full inning.

ETA: I see your edit. I'm not watching, so it's possible they were starting to see him better. Just something that jumped out at me.

Yeah, was going from memory. Looked it up after posting and realized I was wrong.

One thought about Gray... he may only have thrown 72 PC, but was through 6.0 IP. So far, Game Time is 1:55 min through 7 1/2 Innings., if it started at 3:05. Those were some quick innings with little breaks between. Wonder if that played into it.

Zerpa got a live fast ball. Semien and Seager get ahold of two of them.

Wow did Zerpa think that was a force?

I think he might have known he wasn't getting the tag down in time anyway, so he was looking to throw to first.....but who knows. We'll take it!

Edit - I was referring to the catcher.

I'm not quite sure. I don't think there's a way he makes it as a starter, obviously, but maybe he could be a backup or a replacement when some of them for sure opt out. He's had a great season and deserves some recognition though.

Hello Win Column!

Get the sweep with Max tomorrow!

Awesome that we are winning but it would be nice if the "dominant" Orioles can win a game against Houston.

Langford starting to get hot and hit for power. Once Jung is back we should be rolling offensively. Put Jung in the 3 spot and Langford at cleanup. Move Garcia down the lineup till he heats up again.

Fun W today. Getting this series win was a must heading into a brutal road trip (Brewers/ O's) to close the month of June. A sweep would be awesome. If we can get to .500 before the 4th, this team is set up for a big 2nd half as the schedule and health of the roster is setting up nice for us.

If we're really going to set an optimal line up once Jung comes back (Bochy will never do this):

Smith - SS
Seager - DH
Semien - 2B
Jung- 3B
Lowe - 1B
Langford - LF
Garcia - RF
Heim - C
Taveras/ Carter - CF

I would not do that either.

I am not sitting Cory Seager for Josh Smith. Ever.

My prediction earlier this week:

Quote:

Schedule:
KCR: WC3 = @ Oak (1), @ Tex (3), v Mia (3), v Cle (4)=> 5-6
BOS: 1.0 = ---------, @ Cin (3), v Tor (3), v SDP (3)
TBR: 5.5 = @ Min (1), @ Pit (3), v Sea (3), v Was (3)
TOR: 5.5 = ---------, @ Cle (3), @ Bos (3), v NYY (4) <- They always seem to be playing a Div leader.
TEX: 6.5 = ---------, v KCR (3), @ Mil (3), @ Bal (4)=> 8-2
HOU: 6.5
DET: 6.5

You will fall in love all over again!

If Oak beats KC tonight and we sweep them, like I think we will... We'll be at 3GB and it is all but given at that point!

Now:
KCR: WC3
BOS: 0.5
HOU: 4.5
TBR: 4.5
TEX: 5.0

DET: 6.0
TOR: 6.0

We just need to keep chipping away. Baltimore may find itself dropping.

I know it would never happen (said that) but I'd like to see it more once Jung comes back. Smith has more range and is just better defensively than Seager. Would also help keep Seager fresh and healthy for the 2nd half.

Good point on keeping Seager fresh. That's the most important thing.

Today:
KCR: WC3 (Marsh, 5-4, 4.37) @ Texas (Scherzer, Debut)
BOS: 0.5 (Kelly, 2-1, 1.75) @ Cincy (Lodolo, 8-2, 2.76)
HOU: 4.5 (Valdez, 5-5, 3.91) v O's (Suarez, 3-1, 2.05)
TBR: 4.5 (Civale, 2-5, 5.42) @ Pit (Skenes, 4-0, 2.29)
TEX: 5.0

DET: 6.0
TOR: 6.0

It's been a long time coming today for Scherzer... hoping he locks down KC and we sweep today.

Understandable, but Scherzer is special today.
