PrintKansas City Royals at Oakland Athletics, Jul 28, 2008 10:05 PM EDT
It was those damn A's who sent the Royals below .500 for good back in April...
Your pitching matchup is Greinke (4.06 ERA) versus Braden (4.05 ERA). Umm... sorta awkward that some generic A has a better ERA than our beloved once and future stud Greinke. (I know, I know...)
Hopefully that won't be the case in about two hours.

I thought JoGui was hurt...
but then, I guess the revenge game aspect of this matchup was too appealing to sit the bench.
Can't complain......
‘Tis another day,
with no TPJ,
still time to unload,
our beloved Gload,
Grudz and Guillen OK,
with a little Ben-Gay,
Tea and Maier ride pine,

Is Moose Tacos COMING ALIVE !!!
Another HR tonight 2-3 another BB. Moose seems to have taken control of the single A strikezone and is starting to punish pitchers again. 7-15 with 3 HR’s 4 BB’s 3 K’s 5 Rbi’s the last 3 games. That brings his Post A All Star numbers up to .961 OPS. Pretty solid for the 19 year old

I like that Grienke is using his fastball outside and INSIDE tonight. He’s also not afraid to bring it. I think he’s been holding back just a little. Remember when he went to the pen and was suddenly in the upper 90s? Then he went back to the rotation and was lights out with the same stuff…. this year he hasn’t really had that as much. He’s been afraid to let it go… you have to let it go to get all that movement and velocity.. he’s doing a much better job tonight.

Which is ridiculous, and a total slap in the face to Greinke.
Hey Guillen is hurt, so just don’t let any balls go to RF tonight.

I went back to Billy Butler draft database scouting card… it says that he can hit lights out but one scout says, “he is the worst fielding professional player I have ever seen in my life.”

Agreed
Absolutely and positively unacceptable. And the organizational lack of commitment to Butler as a defensive player is utterly baffling.

"Eric Patterson, you are my bitch."
-Zach Greinke
He K'd what, 8 or 9 in 6IP his last time out?
winning records follow good bullpens
just take a look at that A's lineup...
you’ll remember why he’s looking so good.
Zach will allow another run...
Just so the game goes into xtra innings and he can get more strikeouts
I refuse to set up a signature....DAMMIT
has it ever happened...
1K for all 9 hitters on both teams in one game?
Starting 6/24, Greinke:
33IP, 40K’s, 8BB
Bad news: 47 hits, 4 HR.
That is one super sexy K/9 IP, and K/BB ratio though. I have to think he’s been getting unlucky with the hits.

That's not including tonight either

We need to get
something going here, our offense has just gone dormant. This guy isn’t really a strikeout pitcher either.

A's Director of Player Development Eric Lippman
””He always pushed the ball to the other side, never really hit with much power. He was always content dropping a single, flaring it over the shortstop’s head. If he used his legs better and got a better start, he could hit with power. It was all there, just a little stubbornness on his part.”

News: Braves shopping Texeira
Which kinda sucks, because it’s not likely the Royals can trade for him, and it makes it that much more unlikely he’ll be available to sign this offseason.
convo between Trey and Jose
TH: “Hey Jose, are you hurting?”
JG: “No no coach”
TH: “You’re not moving very quickly, we might want to take you out for a defensive sub”
JG: “No no, i’m fine”
TH: “Mark, we need you to go into right”
JG: “GAWWWWWW I WANT TO PLAY, PLAY ME, FUCKER”
TH: “Mark, sit down. Jose, you’re staying in”
JG: “Thanks Coach, you know how much this means to me. Got any icepacks?”
TH: “Why, are you hurt?”
JG: “No no, I need a drink”
