The Grill fires up again for a BBQ cook-off: KC @ TEX 4/10-12

Banister would sit these reserve type players who are red hot and say he doesn’t want to ask too much of them, then when he would play them again, they would be ice cold.

Baseball is a funny game. During spring training, some people were questioning why we even wanted or needed jankowski.

Very much so. This is mainly why I try to stay away from predictions and evaluations.

Good idea to not get to involved. Example: Odor was the guy in many minds. LOL

Remember when odor was such a big shot that the rangers let him rehab at the Major League level because odor thought he was too fancy for the minors?

They may be wondering that again in a couple of weeks. You just never know. I remember we got that one OF from the Dodgers a couple of years back and he was great for a few days. I think he is in Japan now.

Jankowski has visited below the Mendoza line a few times in his career and eventually he will be there, or close to it, again.

You are probably right so it is a good idea to ride him while he is hot.

At their best, this team looks very much like a playoff team, one that could actually win a series.
We'll see how consistent they prove to be.

I sure hope so.

It helps when they start them out at the right level.

Hard to say who is better since they are at different levels. They say going from the level Rocker is at to the level Leiter is at is the biggest jump out of all of them.

Yep. He will let them know when he has went back to the way he usually hits. Lol

 

[saddles]

how consistent they prove to be

That is the key.

Crim with two more hits today and Foscue with another hit. Glad to see those two are coming around. Now if Huff can do the same.

We look a lot better against the Royals

But yes if we hir ABs our pen holds up I like our chances

 

[armadillooutlaw]

That is the key.

Consistency will be the difference between 80 and 90 wins, IMO.
Health-permitting, I think this team has a higher floor.
