PrintKansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox, Jun 4, 2008 8:11 PM EDT
Luke Hochevar (4.98 ERA) takes the ball tonight against the White Sox, looking to keep his ERA under 5.00. With the Tigers continuing to lose, the Royals are only a mini-winning streak away from getting out of the AL Central cellar, and in fact, aren't that far behind the Indians. It's been a weird start to season in this division. And I'm starting to think that this is one of those years where, in another decade, it'll look like something totally random happened. A year where a team like the Twins -- who aren't very good -- takes the division with 87 wins (and approximately seven thousand articles about how they proved they didn't need Santana and how they play the game the right way in Minnesota, and on and on).
The White Sox counter with John Danks (2.86 ERA), a long lost member of the Rangers' fabled DVD trio back in the day.

If there is a bad start by Hochevar tonight
Do we start thinking about a recall to Omaha being a good idea?

Germie May Not
Save 13 runs per game like TPJ, but he may actually produce a run or two on some kind of regular basis. Bid Billy go north to get PA’s for Gload? At least we have our outfield back; no Gator.

Hillman doesn't get it
Why not give Aviles a shot. His D can’t be any worse than German’s at SS
Billy at worst will be Sean Casey jr.
I wonder what Brandon McCarthy is doing tonight?
Danks has been legitimately good—7.14 K/9, 2.57 BB/9, 0.57 HR/9, 3.14 FIP, 48.9% GB% (which kind of came out of nowhere this year). At least the Rangers got value for V in the DVD troika.
Why is Trey pulling a Buddy
with Mike Aviles? If he’s just going to collect splinters, he’d be better off in Omaha.

DDJ Is Locked
In; Hawk assures us Gtirz will “get him over”.
I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Another fundamental error by KC
Get him over – that’s why you bat #2. Prediction is Alex will hit long fly to RF and waste another out
For the 3rd consecutive AB, grudz fails to advance the runner
ugh

Teams that can't score runs make those kind of mistakes
Wonder if Hillman got on Grudz for not getting him over. Doubt it.

Didn't know Steve Stone did radio for the Sox
I am listening to game on White Sox station but have to run
Was surprised to see German playing with Hochevar on the mound
This would be the one starter that I would think TPJ’s defense would come in useful with sinker baller on the hill.
I have a feeling after that double play that could of been last night, Hillman felt the need to set Pena down.

Yeah, But How
He missed that 3-2 pitch is a mystery to me. Why is Gload starting against a LHP? How about Guillen in RF, Teahen at 1B, and Aviles in LF, thus anothe rightie bat in the lineup.

That's the thing, his stuff is good enough, that when it's in the zone they WON'T hit him hard...
But when his command is so spotty and he walks a guy per inning or so, they don’t exactly have to hit you hard to score.

Can't locate the fastball consistently
Leads to him throwing too many sliders, which leads to him hanging sliders, which leads to long home runs. Curveball is a nonfactor, he’s shown no ability to throw it for a strike consistently. Change up is decent to lefties, but it won’t be that useful until he can consistently locate his fastballl

#4-#5, he might become a #3 if he can learn some better control.
Unfortunately, we have three guys in the rotation like that. The Royals need more consistency from Bannister, Davies and Hochevar if we want to get to 70 wins this season.
