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.

b) Brian Bannister, for a disasterous start

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

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?

“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.”

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.

Gathright has 20 steals so far? It didn’t seem like he got on base that many times

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.

most recent royals series
going backwards in time, and assuming a mexicution.
@ChiSox 2/3
Seattle 2/3
ChiSox 1/3

@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.

He throws two different ones
Two different arm angles really. At least, from what I’ve seen – one is more of the big looper, one is more flat off the table.
