PrintChicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, Aug 3, 2008 2:10 PM EDT
Your pitching matchup is Clayton Richard (9.35 ERA) versus Zack Greinke (3.98 ERA).
Cannot... escape... Gload.
The Royals have climbed to 4-7 against the White Sox this season. For the curious, they're 2-7 against those beloved Twins (they do the little things!), 6-3 against the Tigers and 4-4 against the Tribe.

I'm glad Hillman hasn't used the Grudz injury as an excuse to give Pena more starts
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
surprisingly so

Gload in the OF is even more of an embarrassment
Not only is his hitting way, way below average for the position, but his defense is also way, way below average. Complete suckitude as an OFer.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
you have to be fucking kidding me
Maybe espn was onto something with their less-than-generous odds

The nature of baseball
The Royals should win this game. We should expect them to win this game.
Of course, the Royals are at the stage where they could very well lose this game. Not to sound like Joe Morgan, but bad teams (for the moment, anyway) like the Royals just aren’t gong to be consistent, especially when they are replying on young guys still finding their way (Gordon, Butler) and streaky hitters (Guillen).
No better illustration can be had than the Royals #5 guy (Davies) beating the Sox #1 (Buehrle) yesterday. So I can totally see a frustrating loss today with the best pitcher on either team (Greinke) not getting the win against a nobody.
Like I said—just preparing myself.
(On the other hand, Teahen may hit 4 homers. BANK IT)
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG
I will note your unequivocal and firm assertion
that Teahen may hit 4 homers. I am certain you are correct.

Of course, if Teahen wasn't hitting in the top third
it’s entirely possible he might not have the opportunity to hit 4 homers!

Teahen is due!
If you believe in dueness, than Teahen is going to have a tremendous August.

it is kind of scary that Aviles is without a doubt our most productive hitter
and he was very close to being buried forever underneath Pena
That's right, wow
I knew it was close, but Aviles actually leads DDJ in VORP, 21.5 to 19.6. And in almost 190 less PAs.

Yes, clearly we are fucked.
The EXACT SAME LINEUP that collected 19 hits yesterday.
But we are clearly up the creek without a paddle for putting a guy who has five multi-hit games in his last nine in the lineup (Gload).

It's nice to see that the Royals don't automatically

The problem, though
is that THIS team would be better served in 2009 if Gload put up a .150/.180/.200 this year. The idea that he’s an answer at 1B in 2009 should terrify each and every one of you, regardless of how useful he may be over the last month.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
+1
Dead horse time, but THIS is the time when Shealy should be playing every day it doesn’t interfere with Butler in order to see if he has anything to contribute. Don’t wait until September. Figure out if he’s worth anything at this point for next year, and let Kila Monster and Stodolka get all the 1B/Dh time in Omaha.
OMG Banny. FWIW I am only crdtng u w/3 runs allwd bc of DDJ OMFG

Meh.
Shealy’s useless. An .860 OPS in Omaha is, shall we say, not impressive.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.
I agree
He doesn’t have much to add. But he’s cheaper than Gload (and was recovering from injury, right/) and can’t be much worse. Why not try him now instead of wasting time next spring, when the Royals might have a new 1B anyway. If he sucks, then the Royals can cut bait on him AND Gload. And it allow the other guys in Omaha the PT they need.
Maybe if the Royals sign a cheap stopgap 1B/DH like Eric Hinske for next year, Shealy coudl be a good platoon partner.
Really, Shealy Doesn’t matter that much. the point is that we know Gload shouldn’t have a role.

Do you think that GMDM thinks,
that Gload is the future at 1st for the Royals? Or just a stopgap until the younger guys are ready (kila…well i can’t think of anyone else right now, i guess shealy but he isn’t exactly young.)
I think that what GMDM thinks doesn't matter
unless he’s going to throw Hillman into the deep end of the pool by DingFA Gload this off-season and eating a year’s pay. If Gload’s on the roster next year, and continues “contributing” at this level, he’s going to play.
Sarcasm™. It's the new gravy.

I'm waiting for the boos to rain on me but...
I think Gload catches that at first….
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
Gload is better defensively, but that throw was into the runner. The base runner's body prevented any human being from getting to it.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Aug 3, 2008 3:05 PM EDT up reply actions
no… gload gets it. He isn’t flat footed over there and knows Grienke’s tendancies so he’s ready for the quick pick.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
He would have expected the throw where it was and knocked the base runner out of the way before it got there?
I think Gload plays really, really good 1B defense and there’s no way he would have done that unless he had precognition.
This is just my opinion. I could easily be wrong.
by Scott McKinney on Aug 3, 2008 3:08 PM EDT up reply actions
Billy being flat footed made the throw look worse than it was. It wasn’t five feet from the bag. That’s a short reach for a first basemen…. I’ve played over there… Look at where AJ was when the throw went by him.. then look at the 6 foot lead he had.
Don't forget to send your broken maples to the US Forest Service.
The problem wasn't how far away it was
The problem is that the base runner was between the ball and the first baseman. Gload couldn’t have overcome that.

What he will have left to prove is that he can really handle AAA hitting. One month doesn’t prove anything. I guess I’d give him a shot in spring training. But if I were Moore, I’d go out and get a real 1B upgrade.

Mazzone made some good points yesterday
I thought it was interesting how he was talking about Lefty vs lefty matchups and righty vs righty matchups. When you’re armside you suddenly become a high ball hitter. When your gloveside you suddenly become a low ball hitter…
that totally explains the myth of lefties being down and in hitters… golfers. And righties not being that. But you put a lefty on the mound and it reverses…. very good stuff.

So Zack's thrown almost the exact number of innings as he threw his rookie year...
and his stats are remarkably similar. he’s got far more strikeouts and walks, making his k/bb ratio slightly worse. i’m of the opinion that he’s a better pitcher now than he was then, but the stats don’t bear that out. in fact, it was a tougher offensive league in 2004, so his numbers this year are just the tiniest bit worse than when he was a rookie. this probably deserves its own fanpost, so maybe i’ll do it later tonight, but would you take greinke ‘04 or greinke ‘08?
