Enough is Enough - Fire Trey Hillman

by BHWick on Jul 8, 2009 7:19 PM EDT up reply actions  

That seemed the main screw-up there.

I was expecting a throw to first from Teabag, and then the ball bounces over him as he’s 20 feet in front of third. Pretty half-assed by DDJ though.

by hunter s. royal on Jul 8, 2009 7:20 PM EDT up reply actions  

I've come to the conclusion that DDJ just isn't very smart

he has great tools, some baseball abilities, but dang, he does some really stupid stuff. Getting caught off base, other bad base running decisions, and questionable defensive choices. Someone needs to slap him upside his head before the game.

"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell

by buddyball on Jul 8, 2009 7:33 PM EDT up reply actions  

I really think that DDJ gets a bad rap

I heard that Teahen was on 610 earlier today and both of those bad base running blunders were at Trey’s command. DDJ gets on base, he takes pitches, he makes some pretty spectacular catches. but he’s human, he’s going to screw up from time to time.

Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too. ~Greg, age 8

by loyal2theroyals on Jul 8, 2009 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions  

I would argue that he gets outs by bad baserunning more than

other Royals. Of course, one has to get on base first to make a base running blunder. I don’t discount his talent, I wonder about his focus.

"Things could always be worse." - Buddy Bell

by buddyball on Jul 8, 2009 8:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Quite possible.

It also may be that he’s been so much better than other Royals regulars, he knows there’s no danger of getting in trouble for repeated half-ass play. He knows Mitch ain’t taking his job, or anybody else from the minors, so his blundering ways won’t get punished.

His fastball has slightly iffy for a while

At the start of the year he was just PAINTING the corners, awesome stuff. No he isn’t quite commanding it as well. So he wither misses, hence the uptick in walks, or goes more over the middle, which means he gets hit harder.

Still very good, but not the level it was.

Kansas City freeway loop

as a suburbanite, i’m not totally versed in the ways of the Kansas City downtown loop, so here is a question

I’m planning on going into Kansas on 35 and getting on at US24/I-35.

so should I go on the parts of the loop north/west of downtown, or the east/south part of the loop?

does it really matter to the overall mission of getting to I-35 southwest of the loop if I go on 70/35 or 70/670?
