Game 96 Overflow Thread
Luke Hochevar has been incredible and for that reason, the Royals still have a 40% chance of holding on and winning this game.

rangers swung and miss 23 times out of 112 pitches

well hes at 112 pitches...
And his name isnt Meche, so im inclined to say no.
I refuse to set up a signature....DAMMIT
If Hoch comes back out and gets 2 K's without walking anyone
He’ll undoubtedly end up being a great pitcher, according to Poz’s last blog post. http://joeposnanski.com/JoeBlog/2009/07/23/what-18-11-means/
He's so rested
That he’s gonna get 2 innings to warm up

It could have definitely gone either way,
On the super slo-mo, he did look safe.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
last time a Royals pitcher has K'd 13 in a game
Kevin Appier, 13 Ks in 8, August 29th, 1996
But the Royals have had two 13 K games in under 8 innings. Name them
Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman
Saberhagen and Elarton
Just kidding about Elarton…
Extra note
No Royals pitcher has ever K’d 13 in a game and got a no decision
Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman
But can't we count Zack?
Since we know it’s inevitable that it will happen to him.

Is this mildly big
that Gibbons is potentially going against Trey’s plan to use Soria in only 5 outs?

well he did want to fight Shea Hillenbrand
after that piece of shit wrote “ship is sinking” on a board in the clubhouse….now he’s out of MLB
I like him just for that

good thing i'm laying down on my wood floor
lots of space to knock

the two games with 13 Ks in under 8 innings
Tom Gordon, April 1991: 13 Ks in 7 IP
Kevin Appier, May 1994 13 Ks in 5 2/3 IP
For that second game.. 13 Ks, 17 outs.
Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman
why isn't Appier in the royals hall of fame?
makes no sense.

For being an awesome pitcher, Appier was overshadowed
either by Saberhagen, Cone, or by being the only great pitcher on some shitty teams
Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman
dumb
it’s bad enough he was overlooked by the national media types, but you would think at least in Kansas City they would appreciate him.

lets get through the 8th

there were rumblings on the postgame yesterday that soria was pissed
is this a result of that?
-
i would love to hear more details on that
if there are any
-
i'm guessing soria was mad trey was telling the media he could only throw 4 outs
when he was probably saying i’m not a bitch, i can throw 2 innigns give me the f’ing ball
-
Ryan just mentioned it again,
said he went to Trey and said- thanks for trying to protect me, but I’ll be alright.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
Hochevar is becoming a #2 szzztarter right before our eyes
Soria is pitching before the 9th!!! This is incredible – even if someone else relieves him
What’s next, Gordon learns how to hit?
by GobbleforCyoung on Jul 25, 2009 9:21 PM EDT reply actions
denny speculating on the radio feed
that they j ust want soria in to face the top of the order here
-
I would be somewhat impressed if that is the plan.
Otherwise, the 2 inning save with a 3 run lead is a little crazy.
He can get 4, NOT 5.
and the loss of the Stache
Japan celebrates!
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Jul 25, 2009 9:27 PM EDT up reply actions
Let Cruz pitch the 9th
It doesn’t matter…the 8th is just as important as the 9th…let Soria face the top/middle of the order
by GobbleforCyoung on Jul 25, 2009 9:22 PM EDT reply actions
thats what I'm thinking
just get us to the 9th….figure it out from there
Holy Shit!!!...Peterson resigned...Am I dead?...Is This Heaven?

i dont understand that walk
dont set up on the outside corner, THROW IT DOWN THE MIDDLE

too much rest
he had Tommy John you know

The last 6 out save occured on May 31st, 2008 and Joakim got that save

I have to agree
but it’s still a problem for Trey that he absolutely won’t make a move that would help the team on principle, until he suddenly changes his mind and can.

I'm sure we'll hear more irrational explanations:
-we had a 10-game losing streak
-wanted to protect luke’s effort
etc
that’s how these guys think… no consistency, no logic, etc. remember, they’re basically die hard baseball romantics
but in this case, i’ll take it
yeah, i'll take it
but you’re right, UNLESS somebody else pitches the top of the ninth, there is really no excuse.. i’m guessing hillman says that Soria came to him before the game and said he was fine to pitch 2 innings / do whatever it took.
-
im fairly confident that soria has probably told him that before
Fire Everyone
by billybeingbilly on Jul 25, 2009 9:32 PM EDT up reply actions
well, with multiple reports of soria being pissed off
i’m guessing he finally got treys attention
-
at least the fans are managing this team....
that makes me more confident…as sad as that is
