Hm… that sounds familiar….
He just needs to learn how to do the little things better
and execute on the fundamentals, and then he’ll be able to be first on a regular basis.

Well
I am on a slow, 7 semesters of 9 hours each night classes to get my MBA…. so since I am about 3 semesters in, is that like Aviles becoming my starter instead of TPJ, or am I farther ahead?

Wow, banny with 5 K's already

Interesting
Seems like when the wheels fall off for Banny, they stay off. But tonight, he came back with a 1-2-3.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I don't think that was the wheels falling off like we usually see
I think he just made a conscious decision to groove one to Quentin over walking him.

thats an absolutely terrible strategy if thats what he was thinkingg

Eh, throw a strike to Quentin and let him put it in play
Where the worse possible result is 2 runs, or walk him and set up the big inning? Even if you groove a pitch, the majority of the time an out is going to be made.

the strike zone is a big thing....
he is a major league pitcher….you should be able to put it somewhere besides middle middle…you just should

THe pitch wasn't exactly middle middle, but it sure wasn't on the corner
There is definitely difference between aiming for the corner and trying to throw a strike.

it was a rally killing homer, however

I'm not sure we could score enough for me to feel comfortable
winning records follow good bullpens
That was a nasty sequence...
1) 93 MPH heater at the knees to open up the AB with a strike
2) 94 MPH heater just below the knees as a chase pitch
3) 96 MPH pitch blown right by AJ. It was clear he put a little something extra on it.
4) Sick 82 MPH curve on the inside of the plate; just a beautiful pitch
I really think we have something here with Tejeda. I think he replaces RamRam, who replaces Nunez, who replaces Soria once Soria moves to the rotation, whenever that happens.
Nobody has questioned his stuff, just his ability to throw strikes
I don’t think ram ram ever becomes a closer, I think he’s going to give up too many walks. Nunez maybe, but does he really have a legit strike out pitch? Eh.
winning records follow good bullpens
I know.
But from what I have seen so far, Tejeda seems to have been able to throw enough strikes to get by in the bullpen.
Before this season, he was never really tried out much in the pen, and his results at the beginning of this season were fairly promising.
As far as RamRam and Nunez go, I think both could be passable closers. Neither as good as Soria, sure, but good enough to make moving Soria to the rotation a net gain that isn’t up to much debate.
I definitely wouldn't be opposed to seeing GMDM do the billy beane thing
ala grabbing promising young arms, letting them close for a season and then trading them once they’re “closers”.

"that isn’t up to much debate."
oh, don’t say that

He needs to keep the walks down
Hitters are only hitting something like .180 against him, but he gives up too many walks. If he can reign in that control, though, then yeah, that’s a great resource and makes us a lot more flexible…especially after back-to-back extra innings games.

From the looks of it, yes.
You think for once these guys could just get 6 outs without giving up 2 runs. Ugh.

Here's the reason we can't count on Tejada.
Man, we’re going to lose again, in an infuriating way.
I swear having a tired bullpen has cost us 4-5 games this season

Surprising how much the Bale/Nunez injuries have hurt us.
Nunez going down really has cost us multiple wins.
Just remember, we were in first place when Bale went down.

Why didn't we trade for Quentin this offseason again?
I mean, considering the impact Aviles’ little month-long tear has had, imagine if we had Quentin’s 21 HRs added to our lineup in place of, let’s say, Gload’s production.
What about Rosa?
Obviously hindsight is 20/20, but considering our pitching depth, I woulda done it.

They did get a 1B, although I remember that he and Rosa were about equal prospects.
But if they wanted a bat, well, then, that makes sense.
Buck dusted the ball off before he threw that one

Thank god he was wrong.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Shitballs
another BB, but it’s better than a HR I guess.
LeFebvre scared the living shit out of me just now. He said Peralta was coming in. But in real life, it’ll be RamRam.
That isn't that bad of a walk...
Set up a GIDP opportunity for Konerko.
As long as Gobble isn’t forced to pitch to Konerko, I think we still have a chance.
Wait, so now we bring in Ramon when he's sucked ass with inherited runners all season
If he was available why didn’t he start the inning
winning records follow good bullpens
seeing how far he could push it with Tejeda before using RamRam in the 9th?

Dumb, now we'll get to lose AND use Ram ram
winning records follow good bullpens
They probably didn't "want" to use him
and were going to save him at all costs, but now that it is necessary he can squeeze out 2/3 ofa n inning.
I'd kill a village full of small african children right now for a double play

Gobble & Peralta must realize how little they are thought of right now...
we’re trotting out these guys who’ve been pushed to the max the last few days
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Jul 9, 2008 10:26 PM EDT reply actions
Maybe...
but keep in mind, we’re really looking for a ground ball/not a HR at this point. Gobble’s only effective against lefties, Peralta gives up HRs all the time, but RamRam generally keeps the ball down in the zone.

By the way - anyone who thinks our pitching is "fixed" to any extent isn't paying attention.
We have no bullpen depth and three of our rotation guys are pitching like #4 or #5, which is unacceptable. This team has a long freaking way to go.
The last time the Royals went two consecutive games against an AL team without giving up 5 runs:
MAY 31-JUNE 1.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
This doesn't really begin to describe it

i hate balks.
What the hell are they for anyways?
Does the fact that he freaking leaned forward for a millisecond then stopped really mess up the concentration of the hitter that much?
So much of baseball is just so stupid…
When does football season start?
Balks have NOTHING to do with the hitter.
They’re a penalty for attempting to deceive the RUNNER.

CWS just ran out three guys with a 2-something ERA after last night's game.
Why can’t we do that? Oh right, we’re the Royals. We have Ho-Ram, Gobble and Peralta.
we have Soria, Mahay, Ramirez and Nunez when he's healthy
Which is pretty good… unfortunately everybody is pitching like shit because the starting rotation has been getting shelled and we’ve been playing extra inning games
winning records follow good bullpens
I was wondering the same thing, actually.
I think what really hurts us, besides not having Nunez healthy, is that we had back-to-back extra innings games. Chicago went to extras last night with us, but they were off the day before, so their pen has had an extra day of rest that ours didn’t get.

Dear Cable Guy:

Here's a reflection of the state of the Royals right now:
Guys on the Royals I am satisfied with:
DDJ
Aviles as a 2B
Buck, perhaps
Greinke
Soria
Mahay
Meche
That’s it. Everyone else is to some extent a disappointment, and for most of them I doubt they’ll be around when the team contends. This last losing streak really bites me. Gordon and Butler are beginning to remind me of Teahen, which makes me doubt the ability of our farm system to develop hitters. And yes, I know I might be overly pessimistic, but I just don’t see the building blocks of a contending team around here. Just spare parts.
lost 9 out of our last 12 now?
Even Greinke is underachieving IMO. He’s been good, but not great – and he needs to be great. Same for Meche, he’s regressed a bit reecently and it’s troubling.
winning records follow good bullpens
To me Meche has been okay recently for an above-average starter.
He was bad earlier in the year, but he has improved the last couple of weeks. For Greinke, I’m not sure whether he really is a #1 yet, so I am not sure about my expectations. Until I figure out where I expect him, I’m not going to get too down on him.
As opposed to someone like Gordon, who we picked in the same draft that Longoria was picked. It burns to see him struggle to hit so much and to see Evan light up the majors.
They just showed a MILF in a tank top and a catholic schoolgirl skirt
I don’t think I can concentrate on the 9th inning now.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
If anyone will let us win this game...
it’s Dotel. There’s some good irony in that.
Of course, there’s probably a lot more irony in him striking out the side, so that’s probably going to happen.

Is a joke.
After the whole Baltimore scandal, this is probably teh worst umping I’ve seen in a long time.
Combining a terribly exhausted bullpen with a pitiful disgraceful excuse of an umpiring crew and some Ozzie Magic and there you have it, two W’s stolen right away from us.
bannister gave this game away
the call on davey was terrible, but what else did they do? Ramon balked. His fault.

I was more talking about last night RE: the umpiring...
I’m just pissed off.
That was wild hyperbole, it was just in-the-moment stuff.
Still, last night’s calls were pretty brutal, and a couple of the strike calls tonight were horrible. But you are right, this loss lies squarely on Banny and our bullpen.
The only silver lining to this skid? The Indians are doing even worse, so for all our ineptitude . . .
we’re STILL not last in our division.

I hope Dayton Moore is disgusted. I know I am.
If we finish 12 under .500
wouldn’t that be a 75 win season? That’s not that bad, right about in line with what most were probably thinking back in the spring training…of course, to get there, that means playing .500 ball the rest of the way out…so nevermind.
