Kansas City Royals at Los Angeles Angels, Apr 16, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
Thanks to a dispiriting 11-6 loss to the Mariners, the Royals are now 8-6, and back in second place, continuing their unexpected early season waltz with the White Sox. So much for grabbing a strangehold in The Battle for Grass Creek. Throwing last night's anomalous data out the window, what's stood out about this season has been the completely lopsided nature of the team's performance: essentially the Royals have had the best pitching staff and the worst lineup in the American League for two weeks.
On one hand, you could argue that they're fortunate to be 8-6, considering that the lineup has been limited to three runs or fewer five times already; or, alternatively, you might contend that in fact the team has missed a real opportunity to be 10-4, 11-3 or even better. Look at those aggregate numbers posted below for the previous game thread again, and remember, coming into that game, the Royals had somehow lost five times. It'll be interesting to see what the reaction is, both on this site, and in the local media, if this split persists throughout the season. Suddenly, despite all the usual caveats we must unfortunately make, about it being early, it doesn't quite look like it's going to take 95 wins to take the AL Central. If that's the case, and the Royals finish around .500 with one of the better pitching staffs in the league, then do we praise Dayton Moore, or decry the fact that he wasted an excellent pitching staff?
Of course, if Meche gets bombed again tonight, then suddenly the pitching staff won't look pristine -- as I stated before, I'm making the prediction that Meche hits the DL with some vague "soreness" by the end of this month -- and these strange, somewhat unimportant musings on hypothetical reactions to come will seem even more irrelevant. This has been an odd season thus far because it seems like the Royals have been alternating between little mini-streaks of complete dominance and incompetence. Then again, that may just be a function of over-analyzing and over-valuing every specific game, and you can cross-apply that to trying to get a hold on Hillman thus far. I wasn't thrilled with the two games he put in in Seattle.
On a happier note, there was a pleasing amount of feedback to the Royals Radio Affiliate Profile on Enid and Curtis Tucker of Enid Buzz.com was kind enough to answer a few more specific questions about Enid, the Royals, etc., which you can read here.

Why do you think Meche will go on the DL?
Because he’s hurt? Because he’s awful and they just have to get him off of the team so they’ll fabricate a fake injury? Why would they do that for Meche and not Bale? Believe me, Meche is the least of this team’s worries. If they are going to fake injuries for DL stints, they should do it for Pena, Gathright, Nomo or Bale before Meche.
I probably disagree with you.

Yeah, there's really no substantiality
....to that claim. I thought RR was all about sample size. 1 ok, 1 mediocre, and 1 bad start and we’re talking about injuries on top of overall season ineffectiveness? That’s pessimism to the n’th degree.

because this site doesn't know how to deal with the Angels lineup.
Are they in Anaheim? Los Angeles? This site refuses to deal with such idiocy, and probably rejected their lineup out of protest.

They’ve been LA, Cali, Anaheim, and now LA/Anaheim. They are not worthy. In related news, Boston just kicked a FG to take a 9-7 lead over NY in the 5th.

Why is DDJ out of the lineup?
We know about Hillman’s slow hook with Pena, but why no DDJ? A bit worried, given that they could have retroactively D.L.’ed him for 15 days, and now he’s mysteriously gone.

One theory
could be that Hillman wants Gathright in against Weaver (80+% steal sucsess rate last year) I still don’t like it though. We should see if Rusty Kuntz taught DeJesus to steal too.

Hillman Says DDJ
Was a little sore after last night, so he’s resting him. He is available for PH or defensive replacement, apparently. It’s nice to have options that allow conservative management of players returning from injury.

Not sure this is really surprising...
Skyview’s Kelsey Miller lines a single to left field in the first inning in Tuesday’s game against Senior. Skyview won the game in five innings, 11-1.
Considering its a “relatively” young team, and we’re looking more to young guys to grow into roles and step up rather than grizzled vets (Gload and Grudz excluded) to lead the way, we’re probably going to see a lot of inconsistency this season. Then add in a new manager who clearly isn’t going to always do things by the book just because that’s how they’ve always been done, and you’ve got a team that is probably going to be frustrating to follow.
Pair the a manager who’s willing to things differently and take risks with a young but talented team, and you’re going to get strings of dominance where everything clicks followed by times when nothing seems to work. For now, I’m willing to chalk those up to growing pains for both Hillman and the team as a whole.

The key....
...will be attacking Weaver in innings 2, 3, 4….scoring runs intermittently along the way.
I have no stat data before me (actually I do, I’m just too lazy to reference it), but it seems that when the recent-past Royals have mustered a rally against a pitcher in the first inning, they have a tendency to go quietly in the innings therafter, and thus allowing that pitcher to settle into a nice groove. Am I wrong in this assessment?

Infield fly can be called only when 1st and 2nd are occupied. The idea is to prevent the defense from getting two easy outs—which the offense can avoid if only 1st base is occupied. That is, if the batter actually runs all the way to first.

i know it isnt the traditional play or whatevs, but there is no way a good throw DOESNT beat guillen running to third.
i still like the play, because rarely will the SS actually throw over to third, but the difference was gload did it without a force play on IIRC, making it less of a consequence if they tried to get him out instead.
