There was talk he fouled a ball off his leg and had to be taken out.
If that is not true, it just is an egregious case of Hillman costing us a game by over-emphasizing defense.
He did hit himself. And it looked like it coulda been bad.
But he DID manage to hit a grandslam after that. Bu still, 4 run lead is good to take out someone who isn’t feeling great
Some great strategery by Hillman
Bringing in Gload for Guillen and TPJ for German.

by I need more Esteban on Jun 7, 2008 4:30 PM EDT reply actions
Maybe the 9th
But if we don’t get a run out of DeJesus-Aviles-Teahen, we’re screwed. Gobble’s going to give up a couple runs anyway.

i hate him. so. soooooo so so much.
And not just because of that. I’ve hated him since 06 and do not allow my dad to stay on the channel when he comes on, lol.
Boyfriend of the Year 2008: It's gonna be big!
I'm amused by the Royals TV announcers' premise
Summary: The 8th and 9th innings are played at an extremely low caliber, because everyone is too exhausted to hit/field competently, except late-inning replacements.
When the hell did our bullpen turn to total shit?
Gobble going to lose this one too.

I think that Trey
is learning that no lead is safe with this team and
that you can’t start pulling starters too early
Success is counted sweetest by those who ne'er succeed. - Emily Dickinson
But our problem is that our starters just aren't good enough to go long innings.
So we need a heavy bullpen usage, which quickly wears out our bullpen depth.
does this make it better?

World Series of Baseball
The Yankee announcers just commented on how Yabuta actually struck out A-Rod back in the World Series of baseball in the one previous time they met.
It made me wonder…did Trey have that kind of data in front of him? I’m betting no.
Wouldn't surprise me if he knew that
Not that it means anything, at all. Yabuta went in because he’s the only man left in the pen but Soria.

Don't look now...
But Yabuta’s becoming a pretty doggone good reliever. Since May started he’s thrown 12.1 innings with 11 H, 2 ER, 14 Ks and 4 BBs…

That's very common for closers
