Oakland Athletics at Kansas City Royals, Sep 2, 2008 8:10 PM EDT


Your pitching matchup is Gio Gonzalez (7.25 ERA) versus Zack Greinke (3.72 ERA).

I'm excited about watching the September call-ups not play. Oh well, maybe I'll be wrong, it has happened before.

I'm looking forward to the "Huberization of Kila" comments

If he’s not playing everyday, you might as well just trade him to the Padres for $50K!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

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

They will be coming as I don't expect to see him except maybe as a PH until Friday

I predict..

Shealy starts at first against leftys and Kila starts at first against rightys…

unfortunately all four of the A’s starters are leftys… Braden, Eveland, Smith, Gonzalez

so dont look for kila in this series (tear, tear).. unless he pinch hits

ugh.

no chance

This organization has married itself (for whatever reason) to the idea of Defense NOW @ 1B.

I think that your way would definitely be a CORRECT way to go, but I don’t think we’ll see it unfortunately

Shealy will get his chance first

and that makes some sense. The Royals need to see if he can transfer the success he’s had at AAA this year to the ML and Kaaihue is still very much a prospect with only one break out season under his belt. Also, Shealy is out of options, if he doesn’t get it done this month, I would imagine he’ll be gone (no pressure) so I bet GMDM will have Trey give Shealy as many PA’s as possible.

That being said, I would LOVE to see Kaaihue get as many PAs as possible to get a better evaluation of his potential. Saw some ramblings about if the Royals would consider moving him to a corner OF position today…thoughts?

I do know that a lot of PAs would open up if we would sit IchiGload or move him to OF when Guillen needs a rest.

I haven’t seen anything to think that this year will be any different, though I will amend that by saying Dayton Moore’s poignant comments in the paper may offer a sign of lineup changes…

OK, I’m on the bandwagon, I’m anxious to see who is playing tonight too.

slightly OT

B. Pena played left field for the Omaha Royals last night. Is this an Olivo-esque attempt at the catcher-left field positional arrangement?

Nope, it's just Jirschele desperately filling in gaps

that injuries have left. Shane Costa has been hurt since forever, we no longer have Maier around, Stodolka hurt his hand like a month ago, apparently Chris Lubanski is having some vision problems (he had LASIK last season and is having issues with that, according to the ORoyals radio broadcast yesterday), so the OF roster is a little thin. Pena has played both left and right field, in addition to third base, first base, DH, and of course, catcher.

Pena’s actual play in the outfield kept making Mark Nassar giggle on the air, so I don’t think he’s a valuable defensive fill-in, but rather one who is used out of dire necessity. He’s not bad at 3rd though, oddly enough.

2nd best position for a catcher.. 1st and 3rd. IMO.

Not only the Oak Series

After the Oak series, Cle comes in, and has 2 lefties scheduled in the 3 games.

NYRoyal – you will get your wish. Kila probably will only start 1 game this homestadnd – at the most.

Hillman still has to worry about wins and losses in deciding whether to play Shealy or Kila? Are wins and losses more important than seeing if these guys can hit in the future?

+1 With Oakland coming to town with 3 LH SP KC has a nice opportunity to get Shealy in the lineup and maybe even play Kila against one lefty since the league doesn’t know his weaknesses yet. IMO I wouldn’t sit Butler until he cools down at all (7gm hit streak .464BA .786 SLG)

Go heavy RH vs Oakland

Aviles SS

Olivo C
Shealy 1b

Royals 4 - Oakland 1

Royals score their runs in the Sonic Slam inning with an inside the park homer by Teabag. Joe Blow from St. Joseph has a stroke as he realizes that his potential $25,000 check from Sonic is not to be, because it wasn’t an “out of the park, grand slam home run”. Lawsuits ensue.

Is there any biger joke game than

Mizzou v. Southeast Missouri State?

Mizzou should lay 49 on them in the first and then pull their first string to keep it below 70.

Missouri was one win away from the National title game, and they’re playing SEMO? Was Missouri State too busy for a University of Missouri/Missouri State University slaughter?

Missouri/Missouri State note

They met once in 1923.

University of Missouri 10
Southwest Missouri State Teacher’s College 0

Yeah, I don’t think they want Mizzou to lay down 60 on SMS.

The 2007 K-State Wildcats beat SMS 61-10.

MU last played UCM in 1935. For the sake of reference.

not to mention that the MU brass

hates the idea of SMS becoming MSU.

The desire of this state to change the names of every school over a period of years is a bit baffling.

That’s why normal people refer to schools by the town the school is in.

Kirksville, Maryville, Rolla, Joplin, Warrensburg

I’d also say Bolivar.. but nobody mentions SBU.

Ok, this is where I hate Olivo's game calling.

Fastball worked fine through 4 innings – now it’s 50% offspeed crap. Ahead of the last two batters, and he’s worked the count full going out of the zone with offspeed pitches. Very frustrating to watch.
