Going to need the depth the way last night went.

Once again, Ned Yost sits on his thumbs while the opposition scores run(1) after run(2) after run(3) after run(4) after run(5).

"Oh, I guess I better make a pitching change."

Indeed, very passive manager. Want to know how many times he gave sign to steal a base last year? Zero. He's a handsoff manager.

That was well put together and makes a good point.

needed a good outing by Vargas, give him some confidence before Det.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Wade Davis over a calendar year, including the postseason: 85 IP, 44 H, 17 BB, 118 SO, 6 R, 5 ER, 0.53 ERA

Truly astonishing.

Nice thing is the offense/defense/bullpen gives some time to for the starters to get their shit together. If this was happening the previous two years, I'd be pushing the panic button hard right now.

Aoki looking like the Aoki pre KC with the Giants, good for him

 

[da55bums]

52-34 at the break, best in the AL and 2nd best in MLB.

Decision on Medlen coming Monday it sounds like. Hope he can start, but can understand why they would just stuff him into the pen as well for the time being.
