Taylors defense is too good. If this team is trying to make the playoffs, they should keep Taylor but if not. Play Olivares every single day.

Is his defense good enough to overcome his lack of offense, though? His career OPS is .685. If this team was hitting like they're supposed to, I think you could justify it. But with the offensive struggles they've had, I think they need as much offense in the lineup as they can get right now.

Duncan or anyone else that can answer this,
Where is Erick Pena? Since our minor league are basically a baron waste land when it comes to hitters, I was pretty excited to see what he could do in his first real games as an 18 year old. |

In 2019 he spent the full season at AA (for the Padres), producing an .801 OPS with 18 HR's coupled with 35 Stolen bases. A lot to like about the kid. [Edit: We got him for Trevor Rosenthal last year] |

He's never actually played at the AAA level before this season. I imagine when the Royals slide out of contention, he will be here in KC with a leash to go through the growing pains later this year. He is most definitely being counted on as a piece of our future plans.

Northwest AR bats starting to warm up. Pratto w/ 3 homers last night. OPS-ing over 1000, now. It's way early in the season to say he's fixed whatever was broken in 2019, but I like what's happening. The early season sample also means those bitching about early season offense being the suck in the minors need to just let the season unfold. Plenty of time to bitch about a better sample size.

Another solid outing for Kower. Six innings, 10 strikeouts, 1 walk and 1 earned run.

Offense looking good in first inning. Bowlan has 2 ks and then is pulled. Looks like he pulled or stained something.
