Kansas City Royals at Chicago White Sox, Jul 20, 2008 2:05 PM EDT


Bannister (5.24 ERA) versus Danks (2.67 ERA) in the rubber match at the Cell.

Not sure this is a terrific scenario for Banny.

anyone else having problems with images displayhing on the main page?

I can see some in thread comments, but the avatars on the right are missing, with just the “filename” showing, and the same is true of, e.g., the “Gilgameche” picture on the previous story…

is it because the Royals scored 4 runs in the first inning?

Unlike Floyd, Danks appears to be a genuinely good pitcher

Here’s hoping we see the good Bannister today and that he keeps the ball down and that the wind is blowing in.

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Danks added a cutter this year and has become a moderate groundballer

He has really cut down on the home runs, which was his problem last year. This year, Danks is above average across the board:

7.38 K/9
2.43 BB/9
3.03 K/BB
0.63 HR/9

17.9% LD%
46.7% GB%
6.7% HR/FB
.288 BABIP

2.67 ERA
3.11 FIP

The HR/FB will rise (as will the ERA and FIP), but the added groundballs should prevent too much of a regression on the HR/9 rate.

Made it back from vacation

plane ride was uneventful. Got in my car last night just in time to hear that we won 9-1. What a nice surprise.

Hate to say it, but I tend to agree with the host, I don’t have much faith in Bannister lately, especially against a bunch of TTO hitters in a bandbox of a ballpark. But, he’s much smarter than me so I’m sure he’s got something special planned.

Just got back from vacation last night!

I covered Sioux Falls, SD to Butte, MT in one day, with 3 kids and the wife in the car….. It was fun.

We made it to the Royals game on the 11th v. The Mariners, which we won, 3-1. Of course, my camera batteries died upon arrival at the ballpark.

Hey RFinCoffeetown

I was at that game as well. A real solid baseball game. Great pitching. Sharp fielding. Smart baserunning. As soon as the good guys got to Hernandez they bunched hits and scored runs. Nice fireworks afterward. Oh, and plus a new straw hat!

I’ll be listening to the game today while I work. My wife and I got rid of our cable a few months back because we were so fed up with Sunflower here in Lawrence. The only TV I miss so far is Royals games and the occasional episode of Monk or The Closer.

It was a good game....

Man, ‘The Closer’ is awesome. When my wife started watcing it, I thought it was going to be a sort of ‘CSI’ clone, but I really do enjoy watching ‘The Closer’.

I’m actually considering a move back to the KC area in the next couple of years, and Lawrence is pretty high on my list of target living areas. Also in the running are OP, Weatherby Lake, Liberty, St. Joe, and Columbia.

Lawrence is a great town to live in for a few years.

My wife and I have been pretty happy here. I’m ready to get back to a bigger city now but that says more about me than about Lawrence.

And yeah, The Closer really is good stuff. I just finished season three DVDs. Kate does a good Brenda Leigh imitation. “Why do you refuse to go down to the store and buy me that chocolate cookie when you know I haven’t been feeling well!”

What we need from Bannister

a quality start. It seems he’s dominant every third or fourth start and then gets shelled for 5 runs every other time.

Does anyone know,

was Guillen like actually working out, or was he in one of those carnival batting cages just fucking around?

Perhaps he was trying to toughen himself up a la Happy Gilmore and jumped in front of the pitches?

Norman chokes while simultaneously crapping his pants in the last round of a major. Maybe too busy selling wine, clothing, designing golf courses and banging Chris Evert. I can’t f-ing stand guys like that, with all the talent and no heart. Norman (and Lefty for that matter) are the golfing equivalent of the Chiefs.

Hillman Giving Up Outs

I was in the car listening, and it was maddening to hear Hilman giving up 2 of the first 6 outs in the game by having Gload and DeJesus trying to steal. It makes no sense. Most managers have realized the fact that steal attempts normally are not a good play, but Hillman does not get it.

I did have some faith in him until that AB

But that out means that he falls behind the number of Runs Pena’s 0-4 + defense would have been worth

How many games/innings/hitters/pitches before HoRam's wheels fall off?

That’s one guy who I have a very hard time seeing continue this success. (Or did he just need to go to the pen all this time?)
