Game 118 Open Thread- Royals (52-65) at Rangers (51-66)

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on in News Comment 474 comments

Tonight Hiram Davies (5-8, 5.64 ERA) makes his third start of the season as a Royal (once again, Kyle is a child's name, and too Southern for our proud Midwestern tastes, Hiram can either adjust, or hitchhike back to Georgia). While the Rangers aren't great shakes, its likely they'll put up more of a fight than the Twins managed on a blistering get-away-day finale last week. Only time will tell. Of course, if anyone here at RR is a medium, then they might want to consider communicating with Merv Griffin or Anna Nicole in the beyond. The dead can view all of our lives like a wonderful unfolding flower, and both Merv and Anna were big Royals fans. The point is, they both know and would love to share information about events taking place five hours in the future. As the eighteenth century occult mystic Emmanuel Swedenborg reasoned, the afterlife is like entering a great city, whereupon you gradually matriculate towards holy or unholy districts, depending on what kind of soul you are. (i.e. If you die and immediately ask, "hey, where's the dogfighting going down?" you'll probably end up in the Hell part of town.) Either way, after you feed Barbaro and look at the Yangtze River Dolphin and ask James Brown if he "feels good" you're pretty much done. They want to help us, and they're bored. If someone, anyone, finds out how tonight's pivotal, epocj-changing Rangers-Royals tilt goes down, please, please, please, let us know!!

The Rangers counter with the perpetually angry looking Kevin Millwood (7-9, 5.90 ERA). Expect lots of on-mound male posturing and the occasional post-questionable-call glower. Delightful. More proof that by the time I snuff it male behavior in this country will consist solely of gigging frogs, illegal street racing, drunken sexual activity and the stilted conversations inherent to a 60-word vocabulary. Millwood, who owns a 5.90 ERA at home this season, may finally snap one day at strangle someone in the Texas dugout.

-------

Flares:

• Chris at BallHype touches on the final days of the Bell regime. Seemingly, all my positive thoughts regarding Buddy have once again evaporated -- his self-serving desire to not play September callups -- being a major factor. Still, Chris takes a more positive side.

• Joe Posnanski thinks the Royals can look forward to a bright future. Aside from the merits of JoePo's position, have you ever thought about how little run the idea of a dark future gets? Who ever brings up that possibility? Yet, basically, thats what really happens, no?

• Living, as I do in Cleveland, I'm delighted to announce that the Indians hitting coach, Derek Shelton, is now engaged to a random piece of eye-candy (pictured right). Shockingly, young Alison is already employed by the largest radio station in town (on the most popular show) and does occasional work for the Indians' version of the YES Network, Sports Time Ohio. Of course, she's younger than I am, perhaps her and Jenn Sterger can pass along some advice to a humble, slowly-aging-into-dust blogger about how to get a job in the "real" sports media. You know, the one with all the credibility and integrity? The same group thats done such a wonderful job keeping the public informed and holding the sources of power accountable. We, that is, us "bloggers sitting in our underwear in our parent's basement" -- as for some reason it inevitably goes -- have so much to learn from the mainstream media about the mystical art of journalism. Shelton, 38, has two children from previous expressions of love and has spent his adult life in baseball locker rooms; so you know he's a thoughtful, mature, contemplative guy. Ah, the eternal glories of love. Oh yea, the Indians offense has been terrible for a month and a half, so I guess I should now conclude this blip with a tortured joke about Shelton's priorities and how he's the only one scoring (har har). But, that just isn't what RR is about, and it would severely undercut the ethos of the above paragraph, so I won't go there. No, not at all.

• SB Nation just launched another blog today that might be of some interest to many of you: Bring on the Cats, a K-State blog. Now, along with Rock Chalk Talk we've got Kansas covered. Now we just need a Mizzou site...  
 

• I think my fiancee (why isn't there an English word?!?!) may relax tonight with some Office DVDs, both versions. This is a good excuse to post a link to Creed Thoughts.

FA Market
If you look at the Ranger's SB Nation site "Lone Star Ball" they are talking about the same stuff as us. Who should we go after in the offseason? Hunter, Dunn, Zambrano? Kinda interesting to see some of their opinions on these guys as well.

The problem is...
...every team wants Zambrano, Dunn, Hunter, A. Jones.  That is why they are going to go for way too much money over way too many years.  We'll have to score with some second tier talent, as we did with Meche.

I don't watch the Office often...
so when you said Creed thoughts, I thought you meant that they changed SNL's Jack Handey's "Deep Thoughts" (that was a mouthful) to deep thoughts from the band Creed.  Like they used their lyrics or something...

by philofthenorth on Aug 14, 2007 7:41 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Reasons
Bell likes how Larue handles Davies.  I don't know if he's right, but Larue has caught him for all of his starts so far.  Pena deserves some days off.  He doesn't need to play 162 games.  But Brown got in last night.  I'd rather have Gathright back in there.

According to Split
Buddy's going to split playing time between Gathright and Brown "as long as the heat persists".  So why doesn't Bell give Teahen, DeJesus, Grudz, or Gload an offday 50% of the time because of the late summer heat?

If you're last name is almost impossible to pronounce and your country of origin is hard to spell (you may have spelled that correctly, not sure) then you should have to go by a nickname and say you're from Canada.

This guy's stuff is freakin nasty.  I'm not saying he's going to be an ace but with even a mediocre degree of control he could be a very good #3, maybe even #2.  But if he becomes a decent #3 or #4, then that trade was amazingly terrific.

It is hard to say how much credit McClure gets for guys like Meche and Davies.  I tend to think they are both talented guys who are blossoming (at different rates to different degrees).

We didn't quite turn them around
I don't think we turned Meche around.  He was improving last season and continued that this season.  This is an age when players tend to blossom.  Bannister pitched well last season for the Mets.  They didn't have faith in him.  Moore did.  He brought him in and Bannister kept it up.  And we still don't know if Davies is "fixed" yet.

This is just me being skeptical.  McClure might be great and the work he does with these guys might actually be a significant factor for their improvements.

kyle davies has really strutted some stuff tonight
hopefully he can keep this up and be more consistent than jdlr, 3 or 4 more starts like this and he will have locked up a rotation spot for next season.

i dont think strutted is a word but oh well.

Butler
When he hits the ball, regardless of whether it is an out or not, the sound alone makes me think it is possible that it will be a hit. What a sweet swing, almost always get the best contact he can on the ball.

Killer had a good game going here.
But, Fuddo left him out there too long.  So much for Fuddo's handling of the bullpen.

by grudz69 on Aug 14, 2007 10:34 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

i completely disagree
i would have almost left him out there longer.

sending him out in the 6th inning isnt a bad choice, and he had a fairly quick hook. he handled it well, just because riske didnt get the job done doesnt mean that it is buddys fault.

Sheesh, NOW you get some outs?
BEFORE the home run was the time to do that, Riske.

would you rather him have not gotten outs
after the home run?

when people say things like that i dont quite understand it.

anyways, riske has pitched tremendously all year (especially coming in with runners already on base) so he was going to blow one eventually.

by rockchalk on Aug 14, 2007 10:37 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

What really bothers me about Riske
Remember the 3-run HR he gave up to Ivan Rodriguez early in the year?  That was, according to him, a pitch he thought Rodriguez was likely to bunt out.

Same exact situation this time.

Somebody forgot to remind Riske not to lob the ball down the middle, with runners on first and second nobody out.  The batter just crushed that ball.

A loss like this is especially frustrating because of who our dumbshit manager decided to trot out there.  Brown.  LaRue.  Smith.  Absolutely f-ing pathetic.

Still, it sucks that he faced four batters and got three out - but the one he didn't get out lost us the game.

4 ER in 5 IP
7.20 ERA for the game, hardly what I would call a quality start.

I think there is a double standard, perhaps age discrimination.  When Elarton pitched this badly (which was often), some people would call for his head.  Yet this crap is acceptable from Davies?

If anything, I hold Davies to a higher standard because of what he cost in trade.

really make sense.  Elarton is washed up and we were paying him millions of dollars to go 2 innings and give up 8.  Davies on the otherhand is still young and has a future with this team...plus we are paying him virtually nothing.  The reason people hated Elarton was he was taking up a spot for a young guy like Davies.

You are rediculous.  I don't have any idea of your background and knowledge of baseball but I would guess it's pretty poor.  For a team like us, that is rebuilding, the Kyle Davies move was great.  To compare Kyle Davies, a 24 yr old pitcher with great upside, to Kip Wells, a 30 year old pitcher who is only in the Cardinals rotation because they have no one else, is one of the dumbest things Ive read on this site.

Are you really even a Royals fan?
Despite living over 200 miles from the K, I have managed to attend 11 games this season.

How long do you want to continue rebuilding?  I figure the youth movement began with the roster purge of August 1995 (when Damon was called up) and has not ended.  All we have to show for it is tons of losses and Cardinal fans gloating over a world championship.

I am tired of players with "upside" who do not produce.  Vitiello tore up AAA, stunk with the Royals.  The front office told us that Neifi Perez was a "premium shortstop" (actual Baird quote, I kid you not).  I could go on and on.

Davies may have more upside than a number of pitchers, but the bottom line is results, and he has been a complete bust in the major leagues.  As long as the Royals waste roster spots on players like him, the losses will pile.

not necessarily
sure, he deserves some of the blame but i would say most of it lies with david riske.

he is the one who gave up the 3 run homer after all.
