ChiefsPlanet - Royals ***Official 2021 Royals Season Repository Thread***

Yeah, he has not looked good in the field. And he’s had a couple REALLY terrible at bats tonight. But still, the Royals needed to play him regularly and see what they had.

And I’d still rather see him in the lineup and out in the OF than Ryan ****ing O’Hearn.

Both could go as far as I'm concerned

Shit, I watched all that thinking Salvy was coming up. You can imagine the disappointment when I saw brohearn.

What was the reason for that?

I assume they pinch ran for him earlier when I wasn't watching.

Matheny took him out an inning or two earlier thinking the game was over. OHearn ended up batting twice.

I think it’s safe to say at this point that Bench’s record is about to be no more.

The only question is what will be the new record . . . . . 46? 48? 50 maybe?

With 17 games left, it'll be close....that's assuming Matheny doesn't screw it up for Salvy by not playing him.

I think Matheny took Salvy out of the game last night to give him another game behind the plate today. Day game after night game, etc..

Oh ok, that would make sense. I didn't realize it was a day game today. Thanks!

Why Not?

Yeah, I actually think Salvy coming out last night shows that Matheny is committed to starting him the rest of the way or certainly until he gets the record. I get the comeback the night before but the Royals pitching was such shit last night, I don't blame MM for seeing a window to get Salvy a rest and taking that window.

^This. In order to give him the best chance to pass Bench and hopefully Soler he needs to maximize his ABs, not minimize them. To save his body some wear and tear, just DH him.

Well, now it's a head-scratcher. Matheny has Salvy DHing today. No reason to pull him last night if that was the plan all along. Ugh!

They were down 12-5 when Salvy got pulled last night in the 7th. Normal baseball logic says he probably isn't going to hit again and save 2 innings of him behind the plate. Weird Monday Quarterbacking flex on Matheny for this one.
