Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, Aug 1, 2008 8:10 PM EDT
If the Sox outfield is really gonna be Quentin-Griffey-Dye the Royals should consider anything less than five doubles/triples a missed opportunity.
Your pitching matchup is Vazquez (4.73 ERA) versus Hochevar (5.38 ERA).

I don't like the White Sox
but watching Griffey in CF is just sad.

It’s August! goddammit all summer goes too fast.

Guillen a Late Scratch
To further the use of the sarcastic font:
We should only see 1 or 2 misplayed routine flyballs this game instead of the usual assortment
the convo
TH: “Hey Jose, are you able to go today?”
JG: “Sure, sure!”
TH: “Can you run for me?”
JG: “Yeah, I can run”
TH: “Right now, Jose. I want to see if you can run. You’ve been sitting on a beanbag with an icepack on your groin for hours now”
JG: “Dude, i’m ready, put me in”
later
TH: “Jose, we’re gonna have to scratch you from the lineup, there’s no proof that you can actually field”
JG: “GRRRRRRRRRRRRR… Jose smash puny manager!”
TH: “Want some ice cream, Jose?”
JG: Yeah man, I love you dude”

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.
Seitzer on his 6 for 6 day
yeah, those orange seats and turf look much more in retrospect.
I don’t know if we’ll have a retrospective for Joe Randa’s six hit game in 2009
Seitzer was slightly off
Schiraldi pitched the entire bottom of the 8th, giving up a hit to Pecota, a hit to Balboni (RBI), striking out Jones and Owen, giving up a hit to Lonnie Smith (RBI), Seitzer got a GR Double (RBI), and Brett hit a home run. Then Tartabull struck out.
He got 6 hits off of 4 pitchers with two homers.
Seitzer hit .395 with 6 HR in August 1987.
Randa hit 6 in the 26-5 game, which had this debut for Luis Urdaneta:
URDANETA REPLACED JOHNSON (PITCHING); DeJesus walked [D. Brown scored, Castillo to third, Gotay to second]; Berroa singled to center [Castillo scored, Gotay to third, DeJesus to second]; Nunez singled to center [Gotay scored, DeJesus scored, Berroa to third]; Stairs singled to left [Berroa scored, Nunez to second]; Randa singled to shortstop [Nunez to third, Stairs to second]; Pickering singled to right [Nunez scored, Stairs to third, Randa to second]; GERMAN REPLACED URDANETA (PITCHING);
Correction
Lino Urdaneta.. whose ML ERA is now at 63.00 after 1 inning with New York and 0 with Detroit
I was at that game.
The Red Sox RF lost Seitzer’s 6th hit in the sun. I remember the scoreboard announcing it was the Royals first 6-hit game since 1969.
Bill Pecota hit his first MLB triple in the game.
this is the American League, after all

he turns to second, Grudz is by first because that’s where he expects the play to be made, Aviles doesn’t make any throw

So
how long until Hillman gets German dumped so that we can have a light-hitting middle infielder who bunts and doesn’t draw walks?
German doesn’t show grit by walking.
a gritty collision
and Grudz is down

Our emergency outfielder for tonight is
probably Ron Mahay. Since we can’t put in Guillen, or move Gload.
if this was july 30th your right, because it would increase his trade value

biannual injury
hurt his ankle jogging to first on a pickoff play
David is evolving as a hitter, but he’s too damn brittle
Tragic scissoring accident with Konerko
or he rolled his ankle getting back to first on a pickoff, can’t remember which

Thanks, any word on how bad it is?

things Trey won't do tonight
1) put Gload in the outfield (then who plays first)
2) bring in Olivo
3) bring in Guillen
4) put his DH on the field
if the Royals win this game
would RamRod get the win without throwing a pitch?

all of them

Signed by the Cleveland Indians as a free agent on June 22, 1985. In 1985, Hillman hit .113/.286/.161 as a middle infielder for the Batavia Trojans. He hit .107/.375/.143 for the Waterloo Indians in 28 AB and .222/.349/.250 in 108 AB for the Waterbury Indians in 1986. With the Kinston Indians in 1987 he hit .172/.280/.201 in 174 AB while continuing to show an excellent eye.

Well, when your OBP is consistently
100 points higher than your BA, that’s a fair assessment

or maybe just scared to swing the bat.

I wonder if Hillman's hero was Tony Muser
At least Buddy was an actual player.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
Just in time!!
For the game to end. The site kept wanting to mess up for a few hours then.
Points:
1) DDJ once again shows his great baserunning ability by turning his ankle going back to first on a pick-off throw. He played a few innings on it, but it probably stiffened up on him after a while and he was replaced.
2) I’m hoping Grudz’s leg isn’t broken, but I’m thinking it is. Looked like an inversion of the ankle (where it turns in on you, instead of rolling under you). Usually when it’s an inversion of the ankle, your leg breaks (Kenyon Martin when he was a senior at Cincy).
3) We are a professional team that cannot get down a bunt. Seriously. How ridiculous is that? While the idea of bunting in that situation is also deserving of criticism, the fact that we cannot execute in those situations is the antithesis of what Hillman preached in spring training.
4) Ditto for those pop-ups. One person call it….everyone else get out of the way. Call it early for all I care. Just don’t break each other’s legs and look like the second coming of Ken Harvey out there.
