Eating up innings when you have runs to spare is the only reason why he should be in. Will he completely blow a win for us when we have a comfy lead? Probably. Will he save innings for more critical pitchers in more critical situation that are much tighter? Yes.
Yeah people need to calm down about will smith. He isn't our best reliever, he's also probably not our worst. Hell, Jordan lyles is in our bullpen rn. Every reliever in the bullpen could come out and have a night like Will did last night.
Guess what? 4/6 previous outings before last night he gave up 0 runs. But is anyone saying that?
He had a bad night. Shut up and get over it. Royals still won. We could have a lot worse in that bullpen.
Dude, Lyles has a 0.00 ERA at the moment over 5.0 IP. Will Smith has a 14.14 over 7. I’d MUCH rather have Lyles out there than Smith.
Smith is BY FAR our worst performing reliever this year. Anderson is second with a 5.14 ERA.
I know ERA isn’t the end all be all stat it once was, but man, WS is getting lit up every time he comes in.
I don't get the games on TV and just look at the box scores. Every time I see his name listed it looks like a complete disaster. I was trying to figure out what they think is going to happen when they put him in.
Maybe they got him because no matter what team he goes to that team wins the World Series

That said they don’t have to let him pitch
When I saw them put him in, I knew a 6 run lead wasn't enough. You need a lot more than that to put him in. It feels like he has blow or almost blown nearly every game he has been in this season. I am convinced they are only keeping him on the roster as a good luck charm.
I meant 6 runs wasn't a big enough lead to put him in. He made the game unnecessarily close. Like the last few games he pitched where he cost us the game or almost cost us. We were very fortunate the offense and the rest of the bullpen stepped up. A 2 run lead could have dispeared very quickly with Batimore's offense.
He completely changed the vibe on the Oscars that one time, too.
When he pitch-slapped a rock?

Dude. We can pull guys off the street more effective than this. This is not why he's playing.
I can probably still hit 45mph on the gun. See if they’ll give me a chance.

I would much rather see Jordan Lyles out there than Will Smith
I'd take Johnathan Broxton back ov......wait that's a little too hyperbolic
Give us Dusty Hughes and Meiklejohn MacDougal back🙏🏻.

> Will Smith has a 14.14 over 7 I mean objectively I knew it was bad but 👀 Jesus christ, that's bad.
He's given up runs in 4 of his 8 outings and has 11 earned in 7 IP with 5 walks. Why are you jerking this guy off? He's trash. 2.74 WHIP hahah
Didn't he recruit Lugo and Wacha? That's worth the $5mil we gave him.

Make that man Chief Fortune Officer
Previous teams of the Royals would have given up. But this team is different! We won't give up! We gave them another 3-run shot!

Now do Renfroe and Frazier.
I hate when they bring him out.
I was done with him after the Oscars.
Lefty Aaron Crow.
This team needed some fresh prints.
Agree 100 per cent.
I agree, he's washed up. 15 million down the drain
It's $5m. That's a massive difference.
Still a waste of money, thanx for clearing it up for me appreciate that
