Game 109 Open Thread - Royals (49-59) at A's (53-53)

Royalsreview_tiny by royalsreview on Comment 467 comments

Kansas City Royals at Oakland Athletics, Jul 30, 2008 3:35 PM EDT


It's all setup for Brian Bannister (5.40 ERA) to not be horrible today. He's in a mostly flyball friendly park, the A's struggle offensively, and, if it still matters, it's a day game. Plus, this is a getaway day game. Banny, show us there's still a reason to care...

The A's counter with Sean Gallagher (4.03 ERA).

Second...

I;m getting really frustrated with Banny.
He never pitches like his numbers say he should.
Thats all well and good, when he is supposed to be a 5.50 ERA guy…and throws a 3.69 ERA
But this year he should be about 4.5…and instead has a 5.40…What gives?

Interesting lineup today

Aviles 2B
Maier CF
Gordon 3B
Guillen RF
Teahen LF
Butler DH
Gload 1B
Olivo C
Pena SS

And by interesting, I mean Gload sucks.

i personally,

would of gone with esteban at 2B and aviles at SS. But im kinda weird, im sure im the only one who would rather see that.

by cfizzle on Jul 30, 2008 3:07 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

That is interesting.

Let’s not put Olivo in against the Lefties to start the series, but not that the A’s start a righty, Olivo gets the start. No grud or DDJ for Maier and Pena. Hope we get some runs today.

by KCScuba on Jul 30, 2008 3:09 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

It might be a good sign

Olivo is just being treated like a #2 catcher (which he is)—starting a day game after a night game to rest the #1.

OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

by devil_fingers on Jul 30, 2008 3:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I personally

Could have come up with about 100 different lineups before I made this one out. But let’s hope it brings us home a sweep!

Just a kind of weird note:

Aviles has been a much worse fielder at 2B than he has been at SS, as per RZR. Hard to figure on why.

And that line-up looks terrible…no DDJ, Pena in, Olivo vs. a righty, Maier batting 2nd…

With Pena and Gload...

in the lineup with their plus plus defense we only need one run to win the game.

That’s what this lineup is built for—one run…

Hillman on Guillen's injury
Jose Guillen was back in right field despite problems with his left hip flexor.

“Straight on, he seems to be OK, but anything that requires him to go side to side, he’s tentative,” Hillman said. “At the plate, his swings look max effort. My biggest worry is getting out of the box. I told him to be real careful, I don’t want him trying to beat anything out.”

We wouldn’t you to hurt yourself Guillen.

Nope

Brown’s OBP is .287. Even Ross can get on base more than him, and neither one of them can SLG worth a damn. Really, it’s pointless to compare Brown to Gload…they both suck so badly that starting either one on your team is sad.

Got hurt, had a really bad year or two, get DFAeed. We claimed him, but then found a roster crunch and let him go a week later.

I think he could outhit Gload. Probably not a great bet to be anything special, but worth a shot when the alternative is Ross. Course, you could say the same thing about Ryan Shealy.

Who is going to catch for the Tigers? Inge? I’m glad we don’t have to face Pudge anymore. He always seemed to do something (unless TPJ was on the mound) against us.

Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.

FILE - In this July 19, 2009 file photo, Seattle Mariners' Erik Bedard pitches against the Cleveland Indians in the second inning of a baseball game in Cleveland. Bedard is having another surgery on his throwing shoulder, all but ending his season and perhaps his time with Seattle. Manager Don Wakamatsu said Wednesday, Aug. 12, 2009, that Bedard will have exploratory surgery on Friday in Los Angeles with Dr. Lewis Yocum, who removed a cyst from Bedard's shoulder in September.
