ST Game 8 Open Thread - Royals vs Rangers

Brian Bannister is a member of the Secret Brotherhood of Pitchers Who Control Balls In Play. He's very good at it -- so good, in fact, that in an emergency meeting convened before this start in Oakland, in fear of exposure and reprisal the Brotherhood voted to strip him of his rights and privileges until he learned to use his powers more subtly.

In the first inning of that game, Bannister directed a long drive into the glove of Teahen in left and a line drive into the glove of Gordon at third, but when he caught sight of a mysterious figure watching him intently from behind the third base dugout, he capitulated.

This is Bannister's make or break season. He will either practice his art so craftily that no one can detect it, or he won't.

Broadcast: the Royals radio network, MLB.com, XM Radio channel 177.

MLB.com Gameday: here.

Luke Hochevar, not a known member of the Brotherhood, is also scheduled to pitch for the Royals.

Kevin Millwood starts for the Rangers.

Fun fact: in Spring Training, the Rangers and Royals play against each other a lot.

In case anything should happen to me, I want to let you all know where I keep all the evidence I’ve uncovered regarding the membership and movements of the Secret Brotherhood.

But before I tell you that, I want to say —

Royals v. Rangers

This should be billed as a preview of the 2010 AL Championship Series…. which I believe the Rangers will win.

An attempt to generate some chatter.

Let’s say it’s a regular season game against Texas. Greinke has tired in the 8th, after getting one out but then walking the next guy. The next hitter is Hamilton. Who do you want to see called in from the well-rested bullpen?

Depends....

Are we ahead (and by how much), tied, or behind in the score? At home or on the road?

I agree with kcbottom9th

Go with Soria. When some of our other relievers give up hits, they have an annoying trend of being HRs. Wouldn’t trust most of them with a 1 run lead, man on base, Hamilton at the plate, and in Texas. 1 and 2 thirds of an inning save for Soria.

Closers only come into the game in the ninth.

So by order of payroll it would be Farnsworth, Mayhay, Yabuta, and then the cheap new guy we got Cruz.

Soria if the Royals are up one, down one or tied

These are the highest leverage situations. There’s no reason why he should only come in if the Royals are winning. Using your best reliever shouldn’t be about manufacturing high Save totals.

by NYRoyal on Mar 4, 2009 3:02 PM EST up reply actions   0 recs

Well, the actual correct answer is Cruz.

Soria would be the scheduled starter the next day. :)

Not names particularly, but anything totally random and off topic.

My favorite Denny moment was either last year or 2 years ago. Him and Ryan, who was still on radio during the regular season at the time, started talking about glaciers. They spent that half inning, the next half inning, and then a recap the next half inning giving a recap of the last full inning. They basically talked about how glaciers form, their dangers, and how they can be destroyed. It was horrible.

There was a South Park years ago where Cartman kept saying hella. I picked it up and it was annoying. I dropped it until last summer when we had an intern who kept saying “Hollah” and so I started saying hella again. Its just one of those things.

BTW, I’m surprised to see that you haven’t weighed in on the FanPost about Lawrence, KS. There are a couple haters there you can crack down on. Though, I’m not sure if your Gimp/Enforcer entitlements carry over to RR.

We lost a HUGE battle in life

when Mike Sweeney left :’(

"I log on to RCT after school, and I see the 228 comments on this thread. I actually immediately panicked, because knowing KC, I figured some other fan from another school (most likely Mizzou) came over and said something stupid. Then, KC freaked out at him, and said something stupid (no offense, KC, but this really wouldn’t be that extraordinary for you to pull off) and then there was mass hysteria. I would have to ban people, and warn people, and it’d be mass chaos." - SlowDance

Denny mentioned Ruppert Jones in the 8th inning while Andruw Jones was on deck.

If there’s a Royals radio drinking game, a mention of Ruppert Jones has got to be worth a chug.
