Third ten strikeout game of the year for the Boys in Blue
Gil against Arizona and Zack against Colorado were the others.
We have four ten strikeout games from one pitcher from 2000-2007. They are from Greinke, Odalis Perez, Luke Hudson and Blake Stein.

That Hudson game against the Yankees was awesome
I was at that game, and he was super duper filthy that night.

Well until the bullpen combined to give up like 10 runs
winning records follow good bullpens
We have 14 double digit strikeout games from one pitcher
From 1995-2000. Twelve are from Appier. The other two were from Pat Rapp and Jay Witasick.

Hard to strike out ten
If you never pitch past the fourth inning.

Question
Does winning in the minors translate to winning in the majors?
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
Generally I don't think so
It does add grit however.

maybe used to...
but the minors are run so strangely (now IMHO) with AA seemingly where the good porspects go and AAA teams basically just random guys being stashed
91 pitches for Zack through 7
I think he will pitch the 8th, and Soria comes in if we’re up by 3 or less in the 9th
Sounds about right
winning records follow good bullpens
The most double digit strikeout games the Royals have had in one season
Is seven, in 1989. Bret Saberhagen (3), Tom Gordon (3) and Mark Gubicza (1).

A shame he let his WHIP get above 1 though.
That Patterson walk was pretty inexplicable.
That was pretty weird, totally lost it there for a minute.
Started trying to nibble too much I guess, and yeah he paid for it. Oh well, still awesome

next up...
A MEXICUTION!

Intro
just joined this site, been reading for awhile. I joined because I was about to announce my intention of hunting down Trey.
Pure refined grit...
Would be pretty valuble..Think if you could give a guy like A-Rod Grit…He would be the greatest player ever to play baseball.
I refuse to set up a signature....DAMMIT
that would be cool....but i think it's an inverse relationship deal
Higher the talent…...Less grit and vice versa

And there's an emphatic exclamation on the 0-19 night for AL Central #3 hitters.
A fine tribute to ineptness and futility.

So
wonder if Greinke has ever let his facial hair grow out?
ok, asking about that would probably produce a bizarre quote or two
What facial hair?
He can grow facial hair?

Great pitching and a couple of dingers
You can win a lot of games like that.
