Hillman gives up another out
He has now given up three in a one run game.
by Kansas City Oracle on Jul 20, 2008 4:20 PM EDT reply actions
We have now given away an entire inning on the basepaths

note to Trey
the stolen base isn’t working today – knock it off!

Woo, leadoff double
Thank god we’ve ran into 3 outs.

I guess I should take it easy on Trey
as I mentioned in a game thread earlier this season, managers have been shown not to make a difference more than 2-3 games a season. HIllman’s blown at least 3. So he’s disaster-proofed the team.
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
Ah, but he single-handedly won a game in Balto
by pinch-hitting Olivo.

Ram ram has not looked sharp

If the Royals loose, whom will Royals.com single out for blowing the game?
a) Trey Hillman, for calling for 3 steals with guys not known for their speed
b) Brian Bannister, for a disasterous start
c) Ramon Ramirez, for giving up a double to JIm Thome

Seems surprising that Grud beat Thome to 2,000 hits
This game sounds like it will end badly
It is true that managers don’t cost a team too many games with bad strategy, but if the Royals are to edge into contender status over the next few years, they will need a manager who does not give away 3 to 5 games a year
by Kansas City Oracle on Jul 20, 2008 4:27 PM EDT reply actions
its frustrating because DDJ has established that he's not good at stealing bases
and he kept being sent, or allowed to go, orwhatever
And Thome reached the majors four years earlier
Which actually surprises the hell out of me.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Grud is significantly overrated in KC - rest of the league does not think that much of him
in view of the fact that he seldom walks or drives in a run. if you want to continue to pile on Trey, why in the world does he bat Grud 5th?
by Kansas City Oracle on Jul 20, 2008 4:32 PM EDT up reply actions
even in an overrated capacity, grudz is one of our best hitters
This space intentionally left blank.
That's why he's so big
he got fat from WALKING to first base, instead of speedily trying to beat out grounders

So... back to an older topic
Was Lefebvre really pimping TPJ on a day where Aviles as gone 3-4?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
No, he was a shitty OF
“The son of former player and manager Jim Lefebvre, outfielder Ryan Lefebvre was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 27th round of the 1993 amateur draft and spent one season in the minors. He went 3 for 20 at the plate with five walks and no extra-base hits for the Watertown Indians, playing in six games.”
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
First homer he's given up all year
I saw it coming, he kept leaving the power change up in the zone. Sure nuff.

It's better than Olivo's signature prance
that he did when he tied that one game up with a pinch-hit HR in the 9th.
Jose Guillen is the great, grittiest player ever
I can’t wait for the Mellinger article on the misunderstood leader and heart and soul of the ROyals.
He totally inspired German’s double with that HBP and wise steal
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
So, what do we do in the 9th?
Hillman has to be planning to put Gathright and Pena in the game as defensive substitutes
Maybe Aviles to 2nd, Grudz out, DeJesus to left, Guillen to right, Teahen out
If he'd just have started them, it would be 8-0

Mahay had it planned that way the whole time
Did he point to his head a la a wrestling heel in order to infuriate the home crowd?
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
yes yes
now I know its basically against rules for us to pad a lead, but how about ONE more run?

Non sequitur time
Once at Worlds of Fun, I waited in line for the Patriot behind a guy wearing the most exceptional t-shirt. The back had a large, classy-looking drawing that looked like it was done with a pencil – a style like this: http://www.pet-art.net/images/doberman_hercules_pencil_drawing_big.jpg . At the top it said something epic-sounding like “THE MOMENT” and at the bottom it had the date and time in fancy script lettering. The drawing depicted the instant at which Michael Barrett’s fist connected with AJ Pierzynski’s face.
The shirt was so beautiful, and I want one very badly but I was never able to find one.
That pitch was outside

Anybody else amazed that
Gathright has 20 steals so far? It didn’t seem like he got on base that many times
i surey am
It doesn’t seem like Hillman likes to run all that much

On checking further
Gathright has 57 singles, 2 doubles, 1 triple, 16 walks, and 3 HBP
If he actually hit the ball out of the infield down the RF line, he’d be awesome. Or if he played in Kauffman Stadium in 1979.
OR baseball in 1913

most recent royals series
going backwards in time, and assuming a mexicution.
@ChiSox 2/3
Seattle 2/3
ChiSox 1/3
@Rays 1/4
@Orioles 2/4
overall: three series against first place teams, one team we’ve historically struggled against, and one crappy team. majority of games away.
final result: 8/16.
we should be pleased.
Any word on Gordon?
It has to be hives, right?
