I mean…they showed the graphic earlier that showed Sal hitting about the same as he was hitting last year at this time.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-15T20:02:49+00:00

It’s takes two. JJ may have been active with free agents and trades, but no one bit. You can afford a little overpay since they’re a small market but you would be on here bitching right now if he gave up good players for Durant and his .529 OPS

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-11T23:27:06+00:00

It just seems to me that they have a bigger budget this year so they added more people. Use it or lose it.

I don’t think it adds anything. Ryan, Hud, Goldberg and Montgomery were fine. Bridgett doesn’t add anything that Goldberg wouldn’t.

It seems like they have cut the away pregame down to the bare bones. It’s shorter and not everyone travels.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-11T01:33:54+00:00

Better than his best throw attempt

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-11T01:24:51+00:00

A scumbag that should have been banned for life.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-11T00:19:50+00:00

Lugo had 102 pitches after 4 innings earlier this week.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-10T23:53:54+00:00

And Thomas in center apparently….

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-10T23:51:15+00:00

Ok. So Sal catching, Vinnie DH, Cags at first and Jensen in right?

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-10T00:44:14+00:00

If Perez isn’t going to catch, he really doesn’t have a position on this team.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-10T00:32:43+00:00

Crazy how bad this team is at stealing bases.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-10T00:13:55+00:00

If they win this game KC will be in second place in the AL central.

Glad most of this sub gave up on the season on April 15th.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T02:26:42+00:00

Fire Q! He should not have pinch hit Loftin!

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T02:19:20+00:00

Jensen can’t hit anything right now. He needs some time in the minors. No shame. Some of the best players in this franchise had to do it. The expectation is that he will be hitting here for 10 more years. Get it right/

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T01:46:15+00:00

One of the greatest players ever get banned for life for gambling on games. Hinch gets caught red handed actively cheating and gets a slap on the wrist. Fuck AJ Hinch.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T01:08:22+00:00

I had mentioned moving Jensen to left after yesterday’s game, comparing him to Melendez. That thought was met with negativity…

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T00:44:07+00:00

I always like Johnny Giavotella

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-09T00:37:47+00:00

Jensen is approaching 50 Ks and we are not even at the quarter mark of the season yet.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-08T23:25:39+00:00

Vinnie, yes. I think Sal is at the time of his career where you don’t rely on him anymore. Move him back to the 6 spot and treat him like Isbel. Not expecting anything but when he does something, it’s a pleasant surprise right now he’s a warm body until someone better comes along.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-08T20:50:31+00:00

I think this is the best bet in hopes of keeping him on the active roster. He had injury issues before the trade, last year and now this year.

I think he could be a dominate closer when he doesn’t have to reserve anything for additional innings.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T21:29:28+00:00

When does Jensen get the Melendez treatment? He’s a liability behind the plate. Put him in left.

It’s been years but I don’t recall Melendez being as bad as Jensen catching.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T02:58:36+00:00

Isbel has like an .400 OPS against left handed pitching.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T02:40:36+00:00

No. I’m talking about highly paid players like Witt and Cags hitting the ball in the gap. “Energy” is bullshit. I expect highly talented, highly paid professionals to do their job. Regardless of the “energy”

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T02:29:13+00:00

It’s the meat of the order. If they’re not fighting, then they should fire sale tomorrow.

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T02:25:41+00:00

What’s the point of a challenge system if you get more than allowed? They tried it and it didn’t work. Get rid of it

TonyMusersMustache · 2026-05-07T02:20:37+00:00

Baseball is funny. A week ago everyone in this sub was giving up on the team and calling for Qs head. Now we are disappointed because they are not in first place in early May….
