Same with KC, 18k and they are 17-11.

 

I think the fans here, aside from the true die hards, are waiting to see if the Royals are the real thing. They've dealt with an absolute s*** owner and a pretty bad team for so long now that they're understandably skeptical. If the Royals are still doing well by the end of the month, and into June, I could see attendance increasing significantly. Also, if I recall from my high school days, schools don't get out until near the end of May, so I expect that more families will be bringing their kids to the game once that happens. We've also had some pretty uncharacteristically cold weather for this late into the year, so that could also be contributing to the lower attendance.

I can't remember, don't they have a great park there too? Nevermind it's old. I don't know who I was thinking of with a newer park.

What? Kauffman's a beautiful park.

[kcjaysfan]

Kauffman is a gorgeous park, and they just spent $250 million to renovate it four years ago.

Okay, that's what it is. I thought they had a nice new park, but then looked up the year and seen it was old, so thought I was wrong. Makes sense now.

The Cubs will have a new Stadium. The city don't want to remodel the Wrigley field

The county passed a sales tax to fund the renovations here because David Glass is a cheap sonofabitch, and if I recall correctly, there were veiled threats of moving the team if we didn't fund the renovations.

The Pirates scratched James McDonald from his start on Tuesday night and placed the right-hander on the 15-day disabled list with discomfort in his throwing shoulder.

[TheHurl]

I really don't think Wrigley is a dump like some say. Admittedly I was drinking at 9:30 when I went this time. I think the biggest issue is that it only houses 41K

[GD]

is there a more unsettling term than shoulder discomfort?

 

Tricep inflammation?

Lol, I posted this on the first page.

I kinda wanted him in the offseason.

[Laika]

Bauer throwing a no hitter (3 walks) through 5 against Charlotte.

 

He gets pulled after 6.2 no hit innings, at 106 pitches.

 

They are playing a double header so I'm pretty sure he was just literally yanked 1 out from a no-no.

Trevor Bauer in 174 minor league innings:

1.310 WHIP

2.95 ERA

7.7 H/9

0.7 HR/9

4.1 BB/9

11.6 K/9

2.84 K/BB

 

Gio Gonzalez in 684 minor league innings:

1.264 WHIP

3.58 ERA

7.3 H/9

0.8 HR/9

4.1 BB/9

10.3 K/9

2.54 K/BB

 

Obviously they compare well based on the minor league numbers. The question is, what percentile projection would Gio be for Trevor Bauer?

(Assuming Gio is a ~3 WAR pitcher with a ~5 WAR peak).

75th percentile?

Roberto Osuna could be done for the year.

Looks like Middlebrooks and Ross collided in the Boston game. Both had to leave the game.

Ross diagnosed w/ a left quad contusion.

Middlebrooks experiencing right side pain (Stayed in the game for a inning and then removed).

Things starting to get real in Boston. going through a rough patch, injuries creeping up, Jays need to keep playing well here.

Regression to the mean

[digiblader]

Afraid so. And Ciriaco's a terrible 3B/SS--he committed 2 errors to blow the game wide open--6-0 Minnesota now.

[digiblader]

Also, their 3B options in the minors are minimal--Brock Holt(not a natural 3B), Drew Sutton and Ryan Dent are in Pawtucket right now.

[digiblader]

Clarification--It'd be likely Brock Holt. Sutton's on the DL, Dent's not an option, Drew can't move to 3B, and Justin Henry, a former 3B, is now in the OF. Regression to the mean?

[P2F]

Red Sox lose, 6-1.

Huge opportunity for us to go to Fenway and win some games

 

And I'm going to be there!

 

Woohoo!

 

Go Jays!
