  1. In Salvy's defense, he's been brutally unlucky, even for an old immobile catcher. He's underperforming his xWOBA by 100 points, .250 wOBA vs .350 xWOBA. Maikel Garcia was always an exit velo darling, and had pedigree as a top 100 prospect who plays good defense all over the field. The Royals formula is similar to last season's. They have a superstar in Bobby Witt Jr., a secondary good hitter, and just elite SPs. Bubic emerged this season as an ace to go along with Ragans, Wacha and Lugo (who's been only okay thus far) round out a rock solid top 4 and Lorenzen has been good for them as well. They also added Erceg late last season and Carlos Estevez over the offseason to solidify the back end of their BP and it's doing wonders. Honestly kind of a model mid/small market team. Once Witt broke out they supplemented him via trade and shrewd signings. These smaller market teams can be players in free agency too!
  2. He's been rock steady in May. 26.3% K-BB%. The cliche term would be "he started trusting his stuff more", but he literally just stopped walking hitters and getting more whiffs, so whatever changed has made him a key piece of the bullpen in any spot.
  3. I don’t know how you can overturn that, he might straight up be safe.
  4. I mean, when you’ve got the best CF defender in the sport, it’s nice to have that guy also play the field.
  5. Not so quietly if your radio frequency is tuned to the right channel.
  6. Typical ho-hum 109 EV batted ball from Barger, didn't even look like he got all of that one.
  7. Egregious send by the Rays there, hopefully a big break for us.
  8. It's basically 100% guaranteed that he's being kept out for injury recovery management. Last thing we want to do is overwork him coming back from a pretty major injury and having it flare up here and there throughout the season. If he's being kept out against middling RHP there's basically no reason other than injury management.
  9. Rare instance of "healthiest he's ever felt" potentially actually being true. Perhaps the shoulder issue had been holding him back? Who knows. You can fake SSS performance noise but straight up hitting the ball harder, especially at top end velos, is no fluke.
  10. Speaking of Ernie Clement, with his 2 XBH game from last night, he is now up to an 89 wRC+ with elite defense at 3B and 2B. Feels like he was being dragged down by Wagner's pool noodle bat, and seeing some competition from Barger has brought him alive. BS last sentence aside, he's at 0.7 WAR and trending upwards.
  11. I feel like it's kind of going under the radar that Daulton Varsho hit his two hardest batted balls of his career last night. He doesn't qualify yet, and there's some aspect of SSS going on right now, but he's absolutely crushing the ball. His savant page is dead red for all the "hitting the ball well" metrics. It should be no surprise that the team has turned around its power input the moment he was back in the lineup. Barger, Bo, Ernie have all been hitting for XBHs with a far greater frequency. If only Vlad (and Santander if he could hit at all) could get the memo.
  12. Vlad what the hell was that swing. Up 2-1 in the count and that’s the swing you choose to put on a ball?
  13. Crazy how much Baz’s productivity dropped after going through the lineup even just once. After like 40 pitches he went from an ace to an SP6 with decent velo, Jose Ureña like.
  14. Baz turned into a pumpkin once the lineup turned over. Lots of hard hit balls since the third inning. Happens when you’re a two pitch pitcher, and not the Strider variety.
  15. Tough luck, Springer was having a good AB and hit the mistake he was looking for hard.
  16. Santander having a great AB, but no idea why Baz keeps pumping fastballs when he’s clearly looking for it.
