Gathwright as 2nd hitter

I guess we can mark that off our list of options. I think he’s best as the #9, where he can’t get us into so much trouble. He’s been awful in the key “gritty” ABs usually reserved for your Gruds type slap hitters.

JP is already a LH RP

Even Jimmy Gobble looked dominant in that role last year. The fact that they’ve already moved him there tells me we didn’t give up much. Didn’t get much either, but that’s another story.

that's on account of their rotation being so stacked

most of his appearances have been for an inning or more—he’s hardly a LOOGY

I want Soria for 2, Alex

Seriously, he has hardly been used on this road trip.

Why screw around? If it’s still a one run game in the bottom of the 8th (and most likely, it will be!), just go straight to Soria, and let tomorrow take care of itself.

It’s up to you guys. We could really use an insurance run or two, with Mahay probably at his limit and 6 outs to go. Perhaps Ramirez can do the trick, but I’ll feel better once we get through the 8th.

TB sure to pinch hit here

so Ram Ram will most likely have to retire 2 lefties.

It would be a shame to get swept in TB without Soria so much as throwing one pitch – but that could easily happen now.

by loyal2sdad on Jul 7, 2008 3:38 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

and that's why I want him in the rotation.

Seriously, most everybody agrees he is our best overall player – and we may go 4 games against the best team in baseball and NOT USE HIM AT ALL.

by loyal2sdad on Jul 7, 2008 3:39 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Amen.

Soria translates better to the rotation than anyone else on the staff. The “fooled you” aspects of Bannister with the stuff of Greinke. No reason to waste him pitching every 4 days for one inning when he can go 6-8 every 5.

by Big Guy on Jul 7, 2008 3:42 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Neyer was on 810 this morning

And he said that Soria should move the rotation, which was met with an exuberant “WOO-HOO!” from the host (I think Nate Bukaty) because I guess he’s been advocating that all year.

I wouldn’t mind if they sent the wrong man to the plate three times and didn’t even bat. I just can’t care about home bottom-8ths and away top-9ths when the Royals have the lead in a save situation.

Another Gathright slam

don’t know if seeing it on TV can give you the full appreciation, so next time you are at the game in person, take a good look at how shallow and how close to the line the left fielders have been playing Joey. It’s comical.

If this were slow pitch, they would draw a line in the OF and make the left fielder play behind it for him…

Soria for at least one more inning

especially when you consider who’s left in the pen:

Peralta
Tejeda
Gobble
H Ramirez

Soria for the 10th, then Tejeda for the 11th and 12th.

We need to score soon. Of course, we could have added an insurance run during any of the last 6 innings too…

Didn't the incident happen on Saturday?

If so, wouldn’t he have been punished on Sunday at the latest?

This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.

Is this Soria's 1st

“vulture” win?

I know he blew some saves last year, but I don’t remember any classic BS, then a W.

Whatever. This is just Soria “knowing how to win.” Its what good pitchers do.

that vulture wins should be credited to the pitcher who woud have been the original winner. Why should the save-blower’s stats benefit?
