PrintKansas City Royals at New York Yankees, Aug 16, 2008 1:05 PM EDT
Royal legend Terry Shumpert (stats) was born on this day back in 1966.
Amazingly, Shumpert played in fourteen big league seasons, yet never made a million dollars in a year.
He will always be a true Royal however.

I really did think
He was going to be pretty good. He had some modest power and could run a bit.
Shumpert once hit .347 and posted a 153 OPS+ in Colorado. Thank you Coors Field.

Ghola (n.)
A ghola is a creature in the fictional Dune universe created by Frank Herbert. Gholas are created using a technological process created and monopolized by the Tleilaxu. A ghola is essentially a clone grown in an axlotl tank from genetic material retrieved from the cells of a deceased subject.

Yep
I really don’t know if I could pick out a favorite among Frank Herbert’s Dune books. His son’s are pretty silly, but all of the old ones are good.

They're good sci-fi
but Children of Dune (in particular) and God Emporer got pretty heavy-handed.

I really enjoyed the first few of his son's
Harkonnen, Atreides, and Corrino I thought were good, but haven’t progressed from there. Of course, I read them while on a 6 month deployment for the Navy, so you have to understand that any book that didn’t have to do with ‘Field and Stream’, ‘Guns and Ammo’, and ‘Hustler’ was a NY times Bestseller to me of the highest quality of written word.

as a commentator, I’ve heard his radio stuff is pretty effin stupid, though. Whatever. I don’t have to listen to either one most of the time.

Hosmer apparently had more steals than homers in 2008

Buck is out again

Aviles vs. RHPs = .291
and his OBP isn’t much better.
He’s destroying LHPs, of course. But his walk rate is negligible, so that’s something of a concern gonig forward, “just in case” he can’t keep up the ridiculous BABIP.

haha nice
but seriously though, I’ve heard him talk in interviews about how much he values OBP and taking pitches, quality AB’s…he says he just can’t get the team to do it even though he and the staff continually beat it to death…..but everyone around here seems to think Hillman doesn’t value it because a lot of the players aren’t abiding by it

I agree the manager can't affect the player approach
and everyone values OBP. It’s the approach (patience) that matter.
But he said it, but he still bunts and sacs all the time? The best OBP guy on the team Gordon, (straight-up, and especiallly against righties) is still hitting in the bottom half of the order while he’s hot and doing nothing but walking and hitting XBHs…
He might like it, but he doesn’t get it, from what I’m observing.

I think we need an overflow thread
but I don’t want to jinx it.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
Leave a guy struggling with control in
So he can walk/hit the shitty hitters and set the table for the Bronx Bombers.
Banny being Banny.
That's what we recalled for Fulchino for
The bronx bombers are no match for him!
Is Soria unavailable?
There’s not going to be a high leverage situation than right about now.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
We Got Fulchino
Now, baby!

Tejeda clearly has lost control of his pitches.
Even if he gets this kid, he needs to be yanked.
Banny being Banny.
What, No Fulchino?

double play one time
winning records follow good bullpens
If Jeter gets the winning hit
I’m going to go start drinking.
A mind without purpose will walk in dark places.
Sure, we'll all drink
in celebration, or in anticipation of whatever excruciating way we find to lose in extras.
Jeter is soooooooooooooo clutch
That guy a-rod can’t hold his jock
