PrintKansas City Royals at Texas Rangers, Apr 30, 2008 8:05 PM EDT
The Royals have quietly won three of four games after crashing to Earth with a seven-game losing streak earlier this month. With a win tonight the boys in blue can claim a near .500 month, which however much our expectations may have soared after the season's first week, is still something of a noteworthy achievement for a team trying to return from the depths of Baseball Failure. That being said, a loss slides the record back down to 12-15, which doesn't quite look so nice.
Taking the ball for the Royals tonight is Brian Bannister (2.48 ERA), a man rumored to be intelligent. With Banny, the issue is always batting average allowed, and this season he's posted an absurd BAA (I don't have BAAIP handy) of .195. .195! Even if he can use his powerful mind, guile and prayer to induce weak grounders and pop-ups, I don't think he can do it to the tune of .195 all season. Nevertheless, he gets more K's than you might expect (18 on the year) and he's not had any trouble with walks (6), so it's not like his 2.48 ERA is all fluke. I'd say at least a run of it is flukey, but it's not as if he's been a 5.00 ERA guy who's gotten lucky.
Squaring off against against Bannister is Kevin Millwood (3.32 ERA). Millwood, in addition to being one of those people who looks completely different without facial hair, is a guy who has sorta gone under the radar in the last few years. It's almost as if he's gone from being a famous Brave to being one of those he's still pitching? guys, even though he's not even that old. It's been a weird career for Millwood, at least according to this idiot blogger, in that he's been all over the map performance wise, but has timed his up-turns well. He's barely been better than Brett Tomko since 2003, but thanks to a fortuitous rebound with the Indians in 2005, he's earned another contract, and to date has made over $53 million dollars. His career ERA+ is 110.

I don't like that lineup...
...but I understand why Trey went with it due to our struggles at the three hole. But with the way Gordon swung the bat last night, I don’t like this lineup.
Blown Save
Well, it's finally happened...
All offseason, we heard about the crazyness of Hillman, how he’d been toying with the idea of batting Gordo seventh (SEVENTH!!!)...sly move holding off until almost a quarter through the season before putting him there…I bet he was thinking we wouldn’t notice.
Don’t underestimate us, Mr. Hillman…we’re on to you…
On the subject of the lineup…aside from Teahan batting fifth, I’m ok with it. I’d still prefer to see him in the two-spot, slide Grudz down to seventh (SACRILEGE!!!) and move everyone else up (Gathright, Teahan, DDJ, Guillen, Butts, Gordo, Grudz, Buck, Toilet Paper Jr.).

AL Central very tight right now
The Twins beat the Chisox again today, so now first place and last place are separated by only 2.5 games with the Royals right in the middle.
I probably disagree with you.
Gordon is 1-for-8 with 5 Ks vs Millwood in his career
I assume that has something to do with it

You're just trying to rile me up, right?
I mean, I know they love that stuff… but 1-8, after his rookie year, after he just moved up in the order. That reminds me of Torre pinch-hitting for Nick Johnson with the corpse of Ruben Sierra int he 9th because Sierra was 6-11 again the pitcher

I remember
Enrique Wilson pwned Pedro Martinez. They always made a big deal about it when he was in the lineup.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
and even the Red Sox fell for that one
I don’t remember the exact details, but I remember in the 2003 ALCS (the Aaron Boone one) when Grady Little got so flustered by Enrique that he wasted a reliever on him during a series of pinch-hits and stuff

The lack of explosion in our lineup without Gload. There will be quite an absence of off-balance swings and weak groundballs without him. GRRR!!

Ballpark at Arlington
Its still a really good home run park isn’t it? That ball seemed well struck, but I didn’t think it was gone when it left the bat.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
B-R says the Park Factor is 97 for last year, 100 mulit-year
so i would assume that means its not a great home run park

Is there a severe lack of doubles and triples hit there?

Gah
Milton Bradley bomb. I kinda wish we had taken a flyer on him, dickish behavior notwithstanding. The guy is hitting .305 with 15 walks. That’s more walks than our team has combined I think.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
Well, I didn't like that trade
We need Leo. But a one year deal with Milton didn’t seem that risky. Maybe he was picky about where he played though. I guess he didn’t want to play here all that badly.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
No
But I also didn’t think we needed three months of Bradley.
Relive Royals History at royalsretro.blogspot.com
And to clarify
I’m okay with giving up money for three months of Bradley, just not a young arm like Nunez.

how about the fact that emil brown in #2 in the al in rbi's?

I'd rather have Ken Harvey than Ross Gload
We could release him, unlike Gload who has a TWO YEAR DEAL. Plus Harvey is good for some laughs.

Banny is already up to 25 pitches
...after Tomko’s inspirational performance last night, this does not look good for the bullpen.
don't worry
Gobble’s availible to face one batter at a time, and Soria can pitch the 9th, if we are up by 1-3 runs, but not tied or up by more than that
Yikes, 30 pitch inning. That's nto good
winning records follow good bullpens
Judging what he know about Banny...
he shoots for an average of 15 pitches an inning. If he falls behind that, he tries to pitch to contact to get batters to swing and hit into outs.
So I guess we look for him to get the Rangers to swing early in the count the next couple of innings.

7th inning stretch question of the evening
If you’re Hillman, do you keep pitching Yabuta (effectively conceding the game), or do you pull him for Ramirez or Nunez and bank on the top of the order making it a close game again?
...looks like it's Yabuta.
I wouldn’t have had that sort of confidence in the Royals offense either.
disagree with the premise...
WAY too early in the season to say that Yabuta=white flag. I still have faith that he can be a very good pitcher here. Bale was terrible his first month or so last year too. there’s gonna be a transitional period for Japanese imports.

I don't disagree that Yabuta can become a good pitcher here

I’m excited.
And I just realized that I forgot to buy my blank shirt for the ‘I’m 21 buy me a drink’ shirt. Oops. I don’t plan on going out to the bars until Friday because by the time we get to it, it’ll be midnight and I’m not sure if my friends will want to actually stay out that late (because they’re all lame).

Wow
Was that one weird or what? First of all, that lineup was strange, but seemed to work. Then, Banny looked unusually crappy. So, when we went down 7-1, I took my kid to the play area type place. Got back to our seats and soon we were right back in it. Buck’s homer landed about 6 rows in front of us in the ninth, but we just came up short in the end. On the plus side, our bats are coming around. If we could just find a suitable replacement for Tony Pena Jr. we may be allright. That kid just can’t hit. I love what he can do with the glove, but he’s an automatic out. I liked tonight’s setup of Gathright, DDJ, Teahen in the outfield, but I’d rather see DDJ at DH because of his weak arm. All in all, fun roadie for me and the family. We will be in Dallas at the Book Depository tomorrow, so no more games for us, but if you get the chance, take this Royals roadtrip. Tons of things to do in the DFW area for kids and adults.
BTW
No live posts from the stadium. Ever since the new format took over, I can’t post from my PDA. I don’t know why. It just won’t work.
