I could see Carter being sent down for "injury" just before that time is up for Osuna

A few of the beats said the only reason Carter is up and Osuna went down is for Carter's CF defense.

In our ballpark, I think the premium should be on players who can get on base, not so much how many HRs they can hit. Guys like Osuna and Freeman (and hopefully Carter) who can slap the ball around and run a bit. Sort of like the Cardinals of the early 80s. I think it was '82, they won the WS and only had two players in double figures of homers, George Hendrick and I think Darrel Porter. They hit a lot of doubles & triples and stole bases. Unless they decide to move the fences in or otherwise do something about the way this place plays, I think OBP matters as much or more as slugging. Probably not realistic in the modern game, but it sure seems to me like it might be the way to go because this place plays like the old Busch Stadium.

I do like AppleTV's option to listen to Eric Nadel instead of the TV guys.

Well if Carter continues to hit .170 then you'd be right in the long run, but I'm sure the thought is that he's in a bit of a slump and will improve. It appears management is willing to wait it out and see if that's true, along with taking Carters defense over whatever Osuna provides

One more at bat and if we don't get a hit , I'll be turning this off for the night.

One thing is for certain; this team needs a real deal high leverage reliever if they're going to do anything.

I'd say they need 3.

I didn't get to watch tonight but I listened. I was pretty disgruntled until the 6th inning. I thought I may get to listen to a perfect game. I'm glad they pulled it out.

Another "get right" game for a pitcher whose ERA is through the roof, pun intended

Daz, a 2023 National League All-Star with the Rockies, appeared in just 10 games for Kansas City this season, hitting .227 with an .852 OPS, two home runs and two doubles.


I mean, that sounds like an upgrade to me.

Really good OPS and the defensive numbers are solid too. There's got to be a story here lol.

This guy behind the plate is having an awful day, he's missed at least 8 pitches of the 50 or so

The Indians are out of abs challenges in the 4th inning.

Royals got Salvador Perez and a young stud in Carter Jensen so I imagine it was probably just a numbers game

I'm really glad the Rangers didn't give up on Josh Jung when I was ready to do so.

I'll jump on this train as well. I thought all signs were pointing to a guy that should be traded or eventually cut. He's been fantastic this year.
