Royals get their first 3-game sweep of the year.
The Royals are in a situation where they need to be buyers at the deadline because that's the only way they'll get an inside track on good starting pitching.
But they also need to be looking to unload Francouer, Broxton, and at least one or two second basemen along with probably Jerod Dyson if they can find a team that needs a pinch runner bad enough.

Guess who's making his Springfield debut tonight....
Be afraid, be very afraid.
God, Carlos Martinez, Kolten Wong, Trevor Rosenthal and Oscar Taveras down in Springfield. May need to take a road trip.

And we scored more than 1 damn run in the last game! I know we won one of those games 1-0...

Until his change develops I think he'll be a very good #3 at this point. He had a very good start tonight going 7 IP and striking out 10 giving up 3 ER on a HR. He was cruising up until that point also but word is it's been the best he's looked all year. He'll probably be up in September.

By all accounts, Harvey was throwing a great change yesterday for the first time. Had a good outing, a no-no through 6 or so but one bad stretch and no run support brought up a loss. He's been good
Anyway, I'm going to my first big league game tonight.

I know a few people that were watching the game yesterday but while he threw the slider more most of them were in the dirt. It's a pitch he still need to work to take it to the next level.

Pirates offense is so bad. Getting shut out by a not so good pitcher yet again.

Trevor Plouffe has a home run in 6 of his last 7 games for some reason. I don't even understand this sport anymore.

He just hit another one. Seriously I don't even.
Just a couple weeks ago we were close to DFA'ing him.

Yay for closers in non close situations. And then leaving him in for 30 pitches and four runs.

No problem with them using Valverde there. The idea that you can only use your best reliever in a save situation is silly.

If closers only come in for save situations, they are completely worthless. They need to be relief aces, and come in when they are needed the most. Valverde didn't deliver, don't blame Leyland.

So when do the Pirates start trading pitching for some hitters?

Can someone please explain why managers argue calls when there is a 0% of the ump changing the call?
