Game 32 Open Thread - Angels (21-13) at Royals (14-17)
Los Angeles Angels at Kansas City Royals, May 6, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
Since falling to 11-14, on three occasions the Royals have clawed back to two games under .500, with a chance to get oh so close to even, only to lose again, trading in 14-15 for 13-16, or in the most recent case, falling back to 14-17 as opposed to 15-16.
Here's something positive to get our minds off of an impotent lineup and a sometimes silly manager:
| IP | BAA | BBs | Ks | ERA | |
| K.C. Starters | 183.2 | .270 | 55 | 117 | 4.41 |
| K.C. Relievers | 88.1 | .248 | 33 | 87 | 4.28 |
Despite a predictable downturn from an early season remix of the 1960s Dodgers, there's still a lot to like here, especially the strikeout numbers, where the Royals rank seventh in the AL, an especially strong total against the second lowest walk total in the league. The problem is that the Royals are allowing a .263 batting average to opponents (9th) along with a league average 28 home runs, which is helping to push the ERA to 4.37, which is a disappointing 12th in the AL. Not a figure I expected to see this morning.
But that's still wonderful compared to the offense which ranks dead last in the League in runs, last in OBP, last in SLG and tenth in average. It's hard to score when you need three straight singles to do so, especially when someone in there you're also mixing in a caught stealing.
Tonight, Brian Bannister (3-3, 4.04 ERA) takes the mound, looking to rebound from a rough start in Texas, while the Angels counter with Nick Adenhart, who is making his second career start.

Ahem
I was responding to your tautology. You’re implying that if Teahen would just be patient and draw walks, they would lead to runs.
Teahen has many patient at-bats (1/3 of his strikeouts have been on 3-2 counts, even, and 1/4 of his PA result in ball three at some point), and they lead to walks more often than anyone else on the team.

Last year, a complete zero was supposed to push Buck, and took playing time away from him.
This year, Olivo was just supposed to be Buck’s backup, but probably deserves more PT.

I dunno
we’re usually on the same page, but intentional walks are rarely a good strategy. E.g., it’s been shown to be counterproductive to walk even Bonds every time he’s up. I know this was a singular case, but the truth is that Garrett Anderson has never been better than good, and now he just bites (outside of the Royals offensive context), and he’s always swung at everything. If you don’t think you can get Garrett Anderson out at his decline stage, you shouldn’t be pitching at all. Although given the results tonight, I can understand someone thinking that re: Bannister.
