Does this qualify as a big vote of confidence for Kelenic?:

"Atlanta Braves outfielder Jurickson Profar has been suspended for 80 games for testing positive for PED's."

Wonder how JK pulled this off :o :P

Profar, what a meathead...

He'd fit right back with the M's with that kind of production.

I'm ready for some kind of watercooler rattling if it could wake up and shake up the Seattle bats.

Of course, Kelenic can easily torpedo the dugout with his pouty, high opinion of himself, even without the new torpedo bat.

Nah, don't miss him at all.

Pouty? Chris Sale called him a lot of fun to play with, his intensity. I think if things had gone differently kelenic iwould have been a favorite here. He's the opposite of a Scott Servais or a Jrod, he's emotional, he doesn't stand there grinning when he strikes out, he gets pissed. Seems like that's just what gets complained about here, players happily accepting failure.

Here it is
Also, from someone known for his hyper-intensity, Sale appreciates that aspect of Kelenic’s game: “He gets fired up, and it’s very contagious throughout the lineup and even in the dugout. He gets the game going right out of the gate. It’s a lot of fun to be around.”

Goldschmidt, Bellinger and Judge just hit back to back to back HRs.....in the first inning.....on 3 pitches. Must be nice.
Come on, Free Agents are a mistake.

I see Kelenic is leading all but one player in the starting lineup, with his .176 batting average. The 0-5 Braves versus The 6-0 Dodgers tonight, in LA.

People who hate someone will twist everything they do into something that's worth hating. Conversely, if you're willing to give a player a chance to earn your respect, there should be attributes you can fall in love with. I liked Kelenic's intensity and his passion. The M's certainly do need more of it.

Too bad he can't hit MLB pitching. If he did I would love his intensity.
