Game 11 Open Thread -- Twins (5-5) at Royals (6-4)

PrintMinnesota Twins at Kansas City Royals, Apr 12, 2008 7:10 PM EDT
Hmm. So eighteen games against the Twins this season isn't sounding too fun, considering the Royals are now 1-3 against Minnesota, 5-1 against everybody else.
Tonight, the Royals square off against Boof Bonser (career ERA 4.75) looking to improve on a league-low 33 runs scored. And don't worry about the state of society just yet, at least regarding ole Boof... that wasn't his birth name, which makes it slightly better.
Countering Boof will be our beloved Tomko (career ERA 4.60) everyone's favorite stopgap in the five-spot.
Across the Midwest, the excitement is building for Tomko-Bonser. See you then!

been pretty boring baseball lately
let's pretend we're in the American League and score some runs!
Lineup Shuffle
Trey's shuffled the lineup a bit. I like it. I believe it's as follows:
1. Callapos, ss
2. Grudz, 2b
3. Teahen, LF
4. Butler, DH
5. Guillen, RF
6. Gordon, 3B
7. Gload, 1B
8. Olivo, C
9. Gathright, CF
Hey, if Tomko wins it will be the 2nd time this season he's stopped the bleeding of a 2-game losing streak. I guess that'll make our much maligned $3 millionn dollar man our stopper, huh?
I don't fight extra players.

Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
tomko=the stopper?
i sure hope so...
i really hope we win considering the fact that we are bringing back the powder blues tonight...it would kill some of it if we lost.
My 1MB DSL
Won't quite handle the 800K feed. I'm disappointed. I don't know if I can get the 3MB connection here.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
That curveball makes Tomko look like a legit 3 pitch pitcher
winning records follow good bullpens
It's Josh Beckett-ish
winning records follow good bullpens
The Second Strike
On Mauer was about 18" from the target, but it was down enough to be a good pitch anyway.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
lets see how AC does in the leadoff spot...
i am really excited about callaspo, and apparently hillman is too.
speaking of hillman, did anyone else see him passing out some jerseys before the game on FSN KC? pretty cool stuff, IMO, trying to make a personal connection with some fans.
also like billy butler taking guillen out of the clean-up spot.
AC was prettyyy aggressive in that AB
winning records follow good bullpens
i wish everyone on our team
had the same patience-first approach at the plate as teahen does...
who has more walks, teahen or the rest of our team combined?
I don't know, but Hillman should be making the young guys watch Mark's AB's on tape
winning records follow good bullpens
Teahan playin' moneyball
winning records follow good bullpens
good Ab from billy just can't get a hit every time
winning records follow good bullpens
Once again, we're behind...
winning records follow good bullpens
Kubel Looks Like
Kruk; I wonder if he hunts from his hot tub.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
of our first eight hitters,
7 of 8 have avgs over 300.
the ones who don't: guillen (who you have to believe will pick up power as the season goes on) and buck/olivo (who both have some power threat).
this team, i think, will score some runs. let's just be patient!
then there's gathright.
The problem is we don't walk, or hit for power.
Those are some empty averages...
winning records follow good bullpens
that's partly true
but teahen walks
gordon can hit home runs
billie can hit doubles (although he apparently thinks he's allowed to take second each time)
i think those 300s will add up.
ug...
this is sorta strange question, but, despite all the wins, it seems like there havent been many exciting games this year
just alot where the royals get up 3-1 or 4-0 an dthen watch the bully slam it
And in the losses we have been close to lifeless / not having much of a chance
Yeah, that seems about accurate. Other than opening day.
winning records follow good bullpens
That wasn't a question, Will!
However, I agree. Except for opening day.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I'm not gonna complain...
I'm taking the wins anyway we can get them...but don't forget, Opening Day went to extras.

Hey Will,
Columbus is a surprisingly okay city. Make sure to go downtown. There are some character neighboorhoods in Columbus, believe it or not.
I can't give you directions but there is a funky used bookstore that is in an old apartment building. It has about 20 small rooms absolutely stuffed with bookshelves. You can barely walk around inside.

Gload, Gator And
Callaspo; strange, but at least not a total void.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
If gathright isn't bunting here, i'd be shocked
winning records follow good bullpens
Is AC clutch enough to drive the run in
winning records follow good bullpens
top of the lineup!!!
our #1 is by definition clutch!
0-2, but AC
never strikes out!
he is like alternating current!
That was not clutch
winning records follow good bullpens
if #1 is definitionally clutch
we may need to redefine clutch
we can still win this series!!!
yea verily, let us begin now!
i would trust tomko here more than boof
i hope that little wind-assisted HR was a bloop. i think boofie looks more vulnerable.
The error has opened the door, Teahan, capitalize
winning records follow good bullpens
patience, patience
let butler's good eye get up, too.
wow, 3 pitches, that was not good
winning records follow good bullpens
This offense looks absolutely dead
winning records follow good bullpens
Coming into the game
We had four starters with OPS+ over 130, plus Callaspo. It's not dead, it's just having a couple of nights.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
butler, guillie, gorden coming up
i sense a huge renaissance with us batting around.
Shot off Tomko's knee
fielded it while on the ground, shoveled it weakly to first, Gload laid out on his stomach and made the play.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Tomko's Curve Is
Going higher than the target; could be trouble later.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
Gload Does A
One handed pushup to stay on the bag; impressive.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
Tomko's curveball has been really effective so far

our defense looks great
how many runs is this going to save us over the year?

AC Will Look
And feel great in KC in August.

Why can't we beat minnesota?
winning records follow good bullpens
Sorry, getting no hit by boof bonser is unsettling
winning records follow good bullpens
Do We Have
An extra base hit in the last 3 games?
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
The lack of offense is VERY concerning.
It isn't like KC is facing Beckett and Sabathia. Lack of spark and clutch hitting - just uninspired ABs.
Bonser Has Thrown
65 pitches through 4; Tomko has 58.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
Is there action in the bullpen since Tomko
got blasted in the last inning?
This early in the season, are the evening games on Saturday and Friday night
worth the poor weather conditions? I would think that Saturday afternoon would be much better for everyone than Saturday night.
Tomko > Bale?
At least as a starter, I'm thinking yes. Still a lot of games to be played, but that is my gut feeling so far.
I probably disagree with you.
Nick Punto is one of the worst hitters in baseball
Walking him is absolutely retarded...
winning records follow good bullpens
Sometimes you miss the strike zone
I don't think he was trying to walk him.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Nibbling the outside corner, no reason not to challenge him
winning records follow good bullpens
Maybe he wasn't trying to nibble. Maybe he just missed.
It's not like pitchers can just place the ball wherever they want it on every pitch. Sometimes pitchers miss.
I probably disagree with you.

Going into Punto's AB
Tomko had thrown 68 pitches. Only 18 of them were balls. Relax.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
That's the point, there's no reason to throw 3 straight balls
To Nick Punto.
winning records follow good bullpens
There are some players you should never, ever walk
Jason Larue last year was one. Nick Punto is another.
winning records follow good bullpens
Sometimes even good pitchers miss the strike zone. It happens. Not that rare actually.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:31 PM EDT up reply actions
You're totally missing the point. There are certain things you must do
To pitch a good game. One of these things is not walk Nick Punto, with a runner on base, and the top of the line up coming up. You cannot expect to win doing things like this. This is not winning baseball, and a perfectly valid criticism.
winning records follow good bullpens
He missed on some pitches
No, he did not perform well against that batter. That is true. Is it a big deal? No. Does that mean he's not having a good outing? No. Was it a tactical error? No.
You're really overblowing one plate appearance
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:34 PM EDT up reply actions
Not overblowing it at all.
Good teams take advantage of crap pitching like that. Walking the #9 hitter in a weak lineup with a runner already on base is going to burn you the majority of the time. It's not smart pitching, if you can't realize that, I'm sorry.
winning records follow good bullpens
It was ONE PLATE APPEARANCE
One little thing. And, is it "not smart pitching" to miss the strike zone? Do you think he was trying to miss the strike zone on a 3-2 count? He missed, period. You are blowing this wildly out of proportion. It has gotten silly.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:38 PM EDT up reply actions
He missed 3 pitches in a row because he was NIBBLING
To a BAD hitter. That kind of scared, refusal to come inside pitching is one of the reasons Royals pitching has sucked ass for the past decade. Maybe he really wanted to challenge him and just missed. I don't know. But it was a bad sequence. The end.
winning records follow good bullpens
Look
You're assuming he was "nibbling" because all the balls were just off the plate. Does it occur to you that one or two of those might have been intended to be right down the middle and just missed?
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Could be, but he's had great control all game
It was just a statement blown wildly out of proportion by the overly confrontational and sarcastic NYRoyal. Which is funny, because I agree with him most of the time.
winning records follow good bullpens
Is disagreeing with you "blowing it out of proportion"?
You were the one that blew one plate appearance out of proportion and said a guy can't pitch a good game if he does something like that. Silly.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:45 PM EDT up reply actions
It's a one run game, one plate appearance can =
The outcome of a game. You can't blow one plate appearance out of proportion in baseball. It's impossible.
winning records follow good bullpens
I don't think he was trying to nibble
He hasn't been trying to nibble all night. He's been going after hitters, throwing strikes AND going inside. I don't think he was suddenly trying to nibble against Punto. You read this one wrong. He missed, period. And you are blowing it all out of proportion...like crazy.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions
Actually, Punto lined an inside fastball for a single
In his first AB, so I'm pretty sure they were just staying away.
winning records follow good bullpens
Well, by all means, then
let's ship Tomko and his 1.50 ERA off for a bag of peanuts and a box of baseballs.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
He didn't do that key thing, so he's not pitching a good game
See ya Tomko, it's DFA time.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:35 PM EDT up reply actions
Tomko is pitching a helluva ballgame though
Especially when you consider that his last start was also against the TWins.
winning records follow good bullpens
Tomko Was Hitting
The target well until Punto; he was high the rest of the inning. He got away with a couple of fly balls.
Maybe they'll grow on me, but right now I feel like these unies were designed by a blind person.
Let's go, boys, to the toppermost of the poppermost!
We are actually getting worse AB's now
Than we were earlier in the game. Bonser is really mixing it up well. Gload singles on cue...
winning records follow good bullpens
Hey all,
I've been watching while writing up my KU recap. Hawks won again today. 9-1. Esquibel pitched a one hitter.
Gload made a nice play there earleir at first. I want to not like him as much as I do. He is one of my favorite players, even though I know a first baseman like him can only hold back the Royals in the long haul.
www.rockchalktalk.com for pretty good KU baseball coverage
Hopefully he'll become a really good bench player next year
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:32 PM EDT up reply actions
Here's the thing with Gload.
He's a very, VERY good fundamental ball player. He's not going to make a bunch of mistakes that kill you. The only thing wrong with him is that he's just not a good enough hitter to depend on in the long run; outside of that, he's a perfectly likable and servicable placeholder, IMO.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
"perfectly likable and servicable"
Exactly. Which is why I both like him, and know I shouldn't get too attached to him in the line-up.
www.rockchalktalk.com for pretty good KU baseball coverage
He plays very hard, always hustles
Just can't hit well enough to be a starting 1B or corner OF.
I probably disagree with you.
by Scott McKinney on Apr 12, 2008 8:37 PM EDT up reply actions
He's the kinda guy
you'd like to have on your bench for a decade, really.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I like Dougie also, for basically the same reasons.
I think Gload is a notch better than Minky overall. I still keep expecting Shealy to emerge. Maybe I should start doubting.
www.rockchalktalk.com for pretty good KU baseball coverage
Hard to expect anything from Shealy

And yet, I still do?!?!
I still expect him to break out in Omaha and be up with the club before the all-star break. Not that I hope for this, I actually still expect it. I guess I have unreasonable optimism for this guy still.

Six innings, three hits, one run. 84 pitches. The guy is doing just fine. And, considering he is the #5 starter, he is doing great.

The Royals shouldn't have to pay $36M for morale boosting fly balls.

What's the over-under on number of games...
before our pitching staff just refuses to show up until the hitters can prove to the pitchers that they are worth the effort?
Also, how can a team survive by dinking like this? The Twins will be ok, but I don't see that strategy working too well over the course of the season.

More confused than usual; I thought Garcia and one other were returning this year, but the roster for '08 doesn't come up.

Hiarli Garcia is pretty good.
He it pitching middle relief this year. He may be moving into the closer role. It looks like Smyth is going to be put into the rotation and, since Price used Garcia in the ninth today, he might have him in mind to replace Smyth.
