PrintThe Royals are up 12-2 in the seventh. Our offense is doing its best impression of actual major league offense yet again. There was an exciting brawl that I missed and AJ got punched so that's good. Greinke was good and got tossed out of the game for retaliating.
Good day. Party on.

According to Gameday, Teahen has now taken 5 balls in a row

German is actually looking somewhat
like his old self at the plate recently. good for him.

I wonder if it's because he's actually been allowed to go to the plate?

It's more complicated than that
but he’s always been someone pounds the strike zone and hopes not to get hit too hard. When he had better stuff, it worked. Now, he doesn’t, so he gives up too many hits and home runs to succeed.

I understand that the Sox are overexposed. That’s not my fault, and I was stating a personal opinion on Joba, who has been written amount a lot this year, perhaps more than any other player in MLB. I’m not responsible for who gets overexposed on the Sox, so…I’m not the pot calling the kettle black.
