The lineup has definitely underperformed and we do have some guys who I'd love seeing playing somewhere else. I am also sad that MJ has failed to develop. But we'll be fine. We really only had 3 hitters last year (Bobby, Salvy, and Vinnie) and this year we added India with Jac probably not too far behind. Salvy and Vinnie will be ok as it's still very early.

Vinnie doesn't strikeout a lot and he's been really unlucky (his BABIP is only .208 so far) so I expect he'll get hot soon enough. As for Salvy, he's had slow starts before. He'll be fine and he's also on a 4 game hit streak. His walk rate has remained the same as last year when he had a major improvement, he's just striking out a little too much. On the plus side, he's been the best pitch framer in the league this year.

But this isn't the Royals thread, it's the is Bobby legit thread. Let's get back to that.

Another Bobby tongue card...

Went through some boxes last night and found these.

Certainly nothing crazy but still happy to have them. I should have some more in my other (unchecked) boxes, might need to start a BWJ binder (and pull any that I've listed on eBay too).

Nice lineup change. With Maikel leading off (and probably hitting better than any non-BWJ Royals batter), BWJ actually had someone to drive in today!

Great pickup, Skip. I like his Silver Pack a lot. I wish I would have grabbed a blue #/150 when they were cheap.

Completely agree, but I would be 100% happy if he hit no homeruns the rest of the season but ended the season with a 100+ game hit streak.

I think I am in the minority with this one, but I loathe the mullet card. I actually pulled one awhile ago in a hanger and immediate sold it. couldn't stand the photo
