They're meant to be a lot less formal than other threads on the forum, so to moderate them the same way would be silly. However, we do ask posters to maintain a certain level of decorum in these threads, and we plan on moderating the Gameday threads a little more actively this season. In particular, we ask that posters refrain from being overly repetitive with their posts (if you've made your point, let it go), refrain from monopolizing the discussion (if you are making more than a couple posts in a row, you probably need to slow down a little bit), and of course, follow the Ground Rules ( link). The point is to make these threads worth participating in and fun for all posters, from our long-time fixtures to people just signing up today. -The Management

Royals fans must be excited about Bobby Witt. He's on a heater and is up to 3.8 WAR. He's also massively underperforming his xwOBA despite being a burner. Turned 23 a month ago.

Meanwhile, Rays are . 500 in last 90 days.
And sub-.500 in last 60 days

Pride series. If the team wishes to show any heart and hang around the Wild Card race they'll win at least 3 out of 4. Split or worse and this team isn't even worth a feign interest. Bounce back against a terrible team after a catastrophic series.
Red Sox could be the 3rd team right now if they didn't just go 2-7, 3 against the team right in front of you to push you 5 back.
Even those wishing the team to sell didn't expect this team to collapse this fast. Another wasted year.

His numbers were rough early on, and I was shocked. I remember seeing him and the Sox and being pretty bowled over by what he could do. It is great he’s come around.

Still no word on Trevor Story?
Glad Christian Arroyo cleared waivers and is now in Worcester.

Sure seems like there is more to this Story. Awful convenient that he suddenly feels ready to go just as the legal duration of the rehab has expired.

Awful convenient that he suddenly feels ready to go just as the legal duration of the rehab has expired. A) you don’t know that he does “suddenly feel ready to go” B) he doesn’t have much of a choice People keep making this an indictment of his character and if anything it’s an indictment of their character imo

Trevor Story has had 40 AB's and has a .300 AVG, 1.117 OPS, 4 HRs while on rehab. It doesn't appear to be any issues with his batting, yet his comfort at the plate is sited as to why he isn't back yet.. The likely scenario might very well be that his elbow is barking... Apparently, you know better

Did anyone happen to see that fight between Indians and White Sox over the weekend ? I don't condone that sort of thing (and would rather see any conflict resolved without violence, too much can go wrong), but Ramirez took down Anderson with a clean shot and that was a TKO if i ever saw one. The fact that Anderson is very punkish and started it all, seemed about the right ending to me.
I have no real feeling for tonight's game. Seems like wind got completely knocked out of me this past weekend. Maybe we can start a new winning streak, without the following losing streak, and get back in this dang thing.

Duran sitting. Hate to miss any Abs he gets. It`s against a lefty and Ref deserves to start but love watching him run.

Apparently, you know better I bet it was soreness and fatigue. He didn’t play in real games in almost a year if you consider that he missed the last month of last season. Those things tend to happen.

They couldn’t lose with those unis on…then they went to SF & SEA and played like crap. Then they came home and didn’t wear the yellows(and lost). I thought these guys were superstitious?? They should have worn them all weekend.
