Not that I give the Royals any credit for playing him, since if TPJ was hitting .220 instead of .150 the man would still be in the minors, but Mike Aviles is redeeming years of Huberite, Brazellean and Pickeringesque fan frustration.

Our catcher caught a ball at the plate and had the runner out by 7 or 8 steps

and the runner just plowed him. Catcher ended up on his back with the runner on top of him. Catcher started throwing punches immediately. Benches cleared and for a few minutes it was pretty crazy. Our CF had time to come in and throw some punches.

The only real negative here is that Olivo is going to be suspended for a game or 2

But for a backup catcher, that’s not a big deal. He’ll just appeal until the team is about to face a couple of RHP’s in a row and then drop his appeal. No harm done.

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

Moustakas

Someone said something about Mike… yeah he had a great game yesterday. Two jacks.

I did some checking and there are 13 first round picks from the last 3 years in that league. The one doing the best is by far the Revere kid picked by the Twins last year. He was hitting .399 in 265 ABs.

he's started to get pounded

(plus he’s on my fantasy team—would rather have 7 ip an 0 runs than 9 and 3)

Anyone in the pen who can hit AJ as hard as I want them to.

I used to be an A's fan until they left town and got good.

the more i think about it

tthe more i don’t see any point in playing TPJ here. it’s not as though the Sox are going to win because they hit a bunch of singles past Aviles. their only hope is dingers…

yup

actually, i’d like to amend my statement by saying there’s never a situation in which to play TPJ

+1

Aviles earned a three inning rest, I think.

So I'm going to guess that there is zero chance of TPJ moving to the pen

where he could have a (possible) positive contribution to the team

What a great day.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my lazy Sunday. Royals killing the White Sox with Greinke on the mound plus Pierzynski getting hit in the head and Ozzie Guillen taking an early shower is about the perfect formula.

i'd say yes

that was WAY inside

the way he followed through it looked intentional

I'm disappointed.

If he was gonna drill someone so he could go get the air conditioning and chipotle, it shoulda been AJ.

Zack and Teahan ruined the outing.

Hillman gets his 3rd ejection? Is that right? or his second?

“i’d say the average person wouldnt eat a chipotle burrito and still do his running.. full speed.. like me. Thats why they call me special”
