Over on royalsphans.com they're annoyed that the leadoff double led to not even getting the runner to 3rd against this lousy fill-in starter.

[HopeSpringsEternal]

Amazing how effective that Allard has been through four innings with a fastball a couple of MPH slower than Walker’s.

[gmwannabe]

any reason why Turner does NOT work the count?

Foul (82.1 mph sweeper)

[rkeden]

I am not suggesting he has turned the corner on hitting skills bu Rojas has a higher batting average than Marsh or Stott, only 2 points behind Schwarber and only 4 points behind Castellanos. And, to my eye, he is improving. He still swings way too hard too often but I'm sure he has heard that before. The point- Given his A+ fielding skills and the comfort level he gives pitchers, he needs to be in there. He won't get better being a spectator!
