Far to TPJ’s right. Diving stop, threw from his knees, Posednik beat the throw.
But, on the first pitch to Nix, Olivo threw him out attempting to steal.
Color commentary: powder blue is appropriate for any occasion.
thanks.

I want to say yes, but i'm really not sure.
by Fernando Vina School of Linguistics on Jul 3, 2009 10:02 PM EDT up reply actions
He can’t really play the outfield anymore, and NL teams don’t carry pinch hitters anymore, so I’m thinking AL teams only would even be tempted.
But his bat is so slow now, and he’s so clearly into the serious decline phase of his career, that I think it takes a Swartzian rash of injuries somewhere to open up a spot for him.
That is the problem
with being a small market team with a cheap owner. A bigger (or better run) team would just say OOPS, we F’d up and release him and take the salary hit. The Royals will keep him until he dies when a ball finally hits him in the noggin.
Is it safe?

Greinke had good velocity and good movement……pitches just were getting too much of the plate……took him out after 80-some pitches because we were already down and the offense wasn’t showing any signs of life…….wants to protect the investments of him and Meche now that we’re getting to the mid-point of the season…..thought the bullpen was rested enough to keep it close if the offense could mount a comeback.

I think the way Fangraphs does their win probability charts is wrong
At least for this utterly ridiculous team. The charts begin with each team having a 50/50 shot at winning. From now on, it should be decreed that Royals charts should begin with them having only 20 (or less) percent chance to win from the very beginning. I am so sick of this organization.
